As the "anilmation" promo takes shape, its worth mentioning that the animation is being made completely of formulae that controls each and every element in the video! Whether it is the sine and cos waves that shows the way letters move around, the smoothstep() function, exp() function, etc.. they all have been heavily usefull in giving a very smooth output. Another important aspect of expressions is that they can be linked to the colours that you see on the screen as well! So we can see the dance of colours which creates an illusion of manual animation where as all that is done by just few lines of code like:
"if ((frame >=300)&&(frame<=360))\r\n{\r\nsetAttr \"ramp2.colorEntryList[0].color\" -type double3 -sin(frame) -sin(frame-90) 0 ;"
With love..

2 new Telugu channels on Sun Direct! Finally got rid of an irritant "Sakshi"
2 new Telugu channels on Sun Direct! Finally got rid of an irritant "Sakshi"
It was a surprise on tuesday, the 20th of April 2010 as TV 5 news and ABN Andhra Jyothi[via DD Direct feed] came on board Sun Direct much earlier than expected.
Also to be noted is the fact that it brings to end the terrible waste called Sakshi tv, which is more of YSJ's "personal secretary" than any meaningfull news channel as it calls itself[and thus cheating people].
News channels need to realize that just calling themselves "HD Ready channel" doesnt give them the respect from the public.
Its like creating an irritating music with empty bottles instead of bringing out the truth with journalism.
Ever since it was launched an year back, it has earned lots of rotten tomatoes from the public and has always been a more of a HD-ready channel hyper-obsessed with following YSR and YSJ now[like "we follow you where ever you go!"]
Take the following instance during a live coverage of YSJ's so called "consoling trip" across AP:
"BREAKING NEWS: YSJ consoling a woman at consoling trip in..."
They have nothing to show than accusing their rivals[especially Ramoji Rao and co.] and glorifying YSJ as the demi-god and born-again-YSR. The above example is just one of the many other instances of its mis-use of power of media.
Even the shameless attack on Reliance by YSJ's supporters in AP has been heavily inspired and aided by its non-stop coverage by creating stories about YSR's death [of course other congress supporting channels also had a small hand in it].
Just by having a mic, a satellite link, a god-father to get unlimited funding, graphic technology imported from abroad and some sympathisers doesnt make a good channel.
Especially in today's world, we have hundreds of channels groping for a space in the TRPs and you need to make an identity for yourself [even if the TRPs may not be impressive] rather than become a laughing stock of many. Getting the trust of the public with impartial, honest coverage of news is the key here, in which Sakshi seems to have failed big time.
Now that this channel is taken off, its good riddance.

Hope sun direct also ends the most useless "vissa tv" soon and replaces it with something fresh like "Sitara tv" or the energetic "Maa Music"
And it was nice to see WB and Nat Geo Wild continuing in the basic pack despite their plans to make them to add on packs[alongwith the less popular FX, Fox Crime and Baby tv]. They are the channels which give sun direct that extra edge in movies and infotainment when compared to other DTH services in India.
