Places:
[click links for more info.]
The Board Room:
This is where groups of people meet to discuss ideas and products.
We really liked the chairs in the conference room. They were very
comfortable.
Design Cubicles:
The designers at Comedy Central have their own DESIGN
CUBICLES. This is where they
do most of their work with VISUAL
EFFECTS. Usually there are one or two computers in each
cubicle along with personal items and toys, like action figures
or South Park characters.
We
liked the design cubicles. They aren't completely open, so you can't
hear yourself think, but they aren't completely closed so you feel
like you're working all alone. We thought that this might be a nice
way to work.
The Camera Studio:
The studio is the place where designers shoot VIDEO
FOOTAGE of different things. It can be people or objects
or even pieces of paper that are later digitized and animated on
the computer. They shoot in front of a GREEN
SCREEN, so they can later erase this green background and
use the object with anything.
The Editing Room:
In the editing room, designers and AVID
editors make the video segments just right for TV. They make sure
that the segment is exactly the right length of time (for example
10 seconds for an ID
or 30 seconds for a PROMO)
and that sound, music and video are properly linked.
The Snack Room:
In the snack room, we saw a soda machine (free soda!!), a gumball
machine, a fridge and microwave. People sometimes work very late
at Comedy Central so they probably need free soda to stay awake.
