Here's a novel idea for a thread - and it works for somebody lazy like me!

Post pics of cities as they're shown on TV. I'll show you what I mean...

howd u get the shots?

get boston from boston public

There's a lot of ads that use skylines.

What about that one were they form a massive human pyramid around some skyscrapers (in US presumably) - forget what the ad was for, but it was something totally irrelevant

Anyone from Qld seen that scratch-it birthday ad on TV - there's a wide shot of Brisbane CBD then a shot looking up the side of a scraper - don't know which though.

^^ the human pyramid is for playstation 2

i cant remember which car, but there's a car ad with a car driving across the story bridge w/ brisbane's skyline in the background.

and in the lock up your boss ad you can see rialto out the window.

and in that ad where the man is being wrapped in newspapers by the breeze you get some shots looking up scrapers in sydney, but then he's running in a grass field with rialto in the background.

I think that ad for playstation 2 was set in Rio.

I remember the intro to "Always Greener" featured the Sydney skyline and selected scrapers plus aerials when showing city scenes with the best one featuring Phillippa "Pip" Todd (Bree Walters) with the Chifley Talls Club acting as a backdrop. Marissa Taylor (Michala Banas) had the Warringah Freeway with the city skyline as her's Elizabeth "Liz" Taylor (Anne Tenney) had the view over the CBD from Stamford on Kent.

Seven News promo's in Sydney often feature fab skyline shots and aerials too.

the scratchit ad shows brisbane and it shows 50 caville ave on the GC as well

Just point that Digital Camera at the television and click! Make sho u set the shutter speed first otherwise u get a funny image! I'll post some more later on, CSI and CSI Miami always have good skylines.

That Playstation 2 ad bends my mind into a pretzel! I mean can you imagine being one of the poor sods dumb enough to be on the bottom! Fun Anyone? How about a pile of a million dead bodies!!! That's fun right?!

and in that ad where the man is being wrapped in newspapers by the breeze you get some shots looking up scrapers in sydney, but then he's running in a grass field with rialto in the background.

I thought that whole ad was done in Melbourne...

nope, it starts in Martin Place and eventually ends up in Port Melbourne (just behind Yarra's Edge) with multiple changes throughout it all.

From Channel 9's Secrets of the city programme

The best is Mission Impossible (TV Series filmed in Australia, Version 2).
Is shown here in Singapore right now.
They used Melbourne skyline as Boston. Pollywoodside was their HQ. Como place as enemy hideout.

In one of episode, the were suppose to be in Hong Kong. It was filmed in Little Bourke Street. However, because of bad editing, you see a Melbourne MET tram, whizzing pass the screen.

Mission Impossible was filmed in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane, in 1985-87.
I remember they were filming at Swinburne University. They had to import American cars with Amercian number plates. It gave Australian actors an opportunity talked with American accent. (quite funny)


Another is VISA TV ad here, it filmed on top of Melbourne Central.

someone get shots of syd, bris and melbourne from mission impossible!
ive seen that and didnt recognise my own city :S

Hi Blend, I wish I had VCR to screen capture it. Remember, Mission Impossible producers tries very hard not to reveal which city that they are in. However, the Australian landmark buildings (even Australian cars) can not be hidden from the the camera. I believe this TV series (version 2) was a big flop in the states.

ive never seen, itd be good if you could get them somehow zion.

I decided to join jimmp so i went and sat in front of my tv. I took one of brisbane, for an add for some retirement home which had city views. Unfortunately the cam on tv was panning across the city so it came out blurred.

Swapped channels and got this of Federation square model: (An abc as i speak)

I love the channel 7 news promos of Brisbane skyline - they must be up there evey week because the shots are spectacular and always very recent.

jt

They have a similar thimg for their melbourne news...

Later tonight - Skyscraper Porn when I take shots of The Apprentice...

National Nine News do a flyover of the Sydney skyline at night during the start of the bulletin, just before Jim Waley or whoever is presenting starts reading the headlines. They have done this since the start of the year with Sydney Tower, MLC and the talls of the Eastern CBD (Chifley, GPT etc) plus the Opera House and Harbour Bridge.

Does anyone know what the skyline behind Ray Martin is on A Current Affair - it seems quite low and not very impressive - it looks pretty crap as a backdrop actually.

What about The Panel - it's close and dark but does anyone recognise it.

David and Margaret's MOVIE SHOW on the ABC uses Perth's skyline as a backdrop.

I know the Panel is a made up skyline but I am not sure about the one behind Ray Martin. It looks like it could be made up too?

I think the Ray Martin one is completely made up. All low rise crap on the side of a hill,no identifiable building.

The Panels is all cardboard - but it's meant to represent Melbourne. Best cardboard skyline IMO is Seattle as seen on Frasier

New york on the beggining of law and order. Beggining of My resturant rules.

Ray Martin: North Bondi?

The following caps are from Seven News promos aired in Sydney. I'm sure most of you (in Sydney) have probably seen these - I think the city looks great in these promos. :)

The latest 7news promo which started airing a few days ago with the inclusion of Matthew White as new sports presenter:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v307/Qantas/SevenNewsSydneypromocap13-AUG2004.jpg

And the following are of a 7news promo which started airing back in January of this year. It promotes 7news as covering 'every part of Sydney' and it had fast-moving aerial shots of major Sydney suburbs, as well as fly-pasts of the city skyline (Melbourne also had, and still has, a carbon-copy of this promo, with the city skyline, St Kilda, Springvale, Frankston, Ringwood, and Blairgowrie shown in fast-pace aerial shots):

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v307/Qantas/SevenNewsSydneypromocap8-JAN2004.jpg
Ended with this clever super-imposing of Seven's Sydney news anchor Ian Ross on this glass-fronted building (I'm sure someone knows it!):
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v307/Qantas/SevenNewsSydneypromocap6-JAN2004.jpg

That's the Ernst & Young Building. They eliminated the signage for the promo.There is also another version where Ian Ross appears on the facade of Gateway Tower at Circular Quay :)

I haven't seen the new version of the news team. The old one had the team at the Overseas passenger terminal at Circular Quay with the city towers rising in the background. They used the same setting for the onw just featuring Ian Ross & weekend presenter Ann Sanders.

Also someone should try and grab a capture of the aerial done over the then booming southern CBD.

I don't know about Blairgowie (WTF?) but the 7 news promo I've seen the last aerial is of Geelong

Yes the earlier promos with Ian Ross had him plastered across Gateway Tower at Circular Quay, as below:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v307/Qantas/SevenNewsSydneypromocapDEC2003.jpg

And here is a cap of the previous National Nine News opener used in Sydney, with a flyover of the CBD:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v307/Qantas/NationalNineNewsSydneyopenercap28APR2003.jpg
The new National Nine News openers in Melbourne show a cool view looking down the Yarra with CBD and Rialto dominating on the left, and Crown on the left with those pylons firing along the promenade - looks shmick.

And yes the Melbourne promo for Seven News did originally include Blairgowrie, and I was quite surprised as to why they'd include that amongst the other more well-known suburbs. But I think it was to emphasize that Seven will cover any suburb, big or small. The shorter versions airing now, don't include Blairgowire - and yes Geelong is also another one shown, I forgot about that one.

Also lookout for brand new Seven News openers for all bulletins, due to start with or during the Olympic Games. Apparently they are supposed to include a 7news chopper flyover of each city's CBD. I remember Seven Nightly News used to do this back in the days of David Johnston presenting - and they seem to be returning to this. So there's sure to be some cool views in these openers. :)

Ok, I think the view behind Ray Martin is of somewhere near one of the suburbs surrounding the Spit in Sydney. Looks like a view from North Head.

Don't worry, we've got that 7 News ad up here too. They have Brisbane, Surfers Paradise, Forest Lake, Ipswich, Redcliffe, Caboolture, Logan

here's some shots from an old TV Movie version of Spiderman from the late 70's

I downloaded a Seven News Intro from Perth on Friday and it features an aerial shot of Bankwest Tower at night at the very start. I cannot grab a caption of it as I don't know how to do captions of video's.

Also the National News flyover of Sydney is from 1999. The cranes behind Chifley Tower are for Aurora Place, which was under construction during the period. They still use it.

The 6pm National Nine News in Sydney has been revamped and will start tonight. The CBD flyover has been ditched and is replaced by an aerial flyover over Sydney Harbour. Jim Waley will now read the news with a live shot of the city skyline from Kirribilli including the Harbour Bridge & Opera House. A camera has been placed in the area to provide a live shot.

The Daily Telegraph has a shot of what it will look like in todays paper in an article discussing the battle of the bulletins.

http://images.news.com.au/thedailytelegraph/1856702_jim.jpg

wow some of these shots are great
gotta start watching the news more when I am coming back

There is a Nurofen add on at the moment with a little glowing circle zooming around the CBD of Brisbane. At the end of the add it cruises up the river and in the background (over the expressway) the Brisbane CBD has been stretched to 3 or 4 times it's length.

I never new that! Must look next time.

I know they film heaps of Mitsubishi adds here using several icons - why I don't know because they make the cars in Adelaide.

I did see them filming a commercial the other day for a shoe company at Parliament House - they had a limosine and a guy who emerged from the front to a crowd of people chearing.

They were also filming a commercial in the park with Brisbane as a backdrop today - I think it was probably another Asian commercial, they seem to do alot of those here. Look out for an asian girl with balloons.

jt

I thought I recongised Waterfront Place in that Nurofen ad, but when they zoom out to an aerial it was way different to Brisbane, with skyline stretching for miles.

There were some great skyscraper scenes of Melbourne in The Brush Off the other night - looked like pre Eureka, or at least before it started to rise.

I think I've seen a Herron ad set along the Brisbane River with the city skyline in the background with the cyclists wearing herron tablets. I definately remember the one set in Sydney, where the cyclists were sent cycling around the harbourfront at Kirribilli under the harbour bridge with the city skyline and Opera House in the background.

I've been watching White Collar Blue and they show the city skyline at least once in each episode from various parts of Southern Sydney (including one from my suburb). If anyone watches it, can they please get a capture :)

Ive been trying to work out what city that ad for that car is in. The ad where there are the 2 people on the bike and the one person in this small hatchback.. the people on the bike are chasing the car but it gets away and turns up again coming the other direction or something.

There are no skyline shots, just shots in the streets but im still curious.

on last nights Amazing race the city of Dubai got a fair bit of scraper exposure,there was an excellent shot of the skyline from the water and it looked like a more compact and taller Gold Coast.

With that Nurofen Add, I know it starts in Brisbane with CP1 being the first building it flies around but I always thought the last half was a blend of Bris Melb Syd.

On one of the Movie channels they have at least 4 different promos where movie tape or stars or something flies around either Bris, Melb, Syd or Perth, its pretty cool.

In that mcdonalds ad where everyones ordering chicken, you can see AMP out the window.. I think its filmed from GPT

Im not actually sure about this but does anyone else think that Governor Phillip Tower is in the Blink 182 music clip 'Always" (great song btw)?? It definately was filmed in Oz and the background doesn't seem to be real, but i swear it looks exactly like GP when it's crown is lit up.

In that mcdonalds ad where everyones ordering chicken, you can see AMP out the window.. I think its filmed from GPT

The ad was filmed in Aurora Place :)

the neurophen add is soo fake, i thought hey brisbane looks alright and then they made it look 20x new york.

lol of course its fake. Dunno why they bothered but oh well.

Fabian: cool, i just made a guess that it was GPT lol


GPT gets excess screen time in mission impossible 2 :P

Seven News in Sydney now features a realtime shot of the city skyline from a building in the North Sydney area including the harbour bridge. It's a bit disappointing as the buildings of McMahons Point distract the view into the city. I think they should of mounted it from the Optus or Phillips Buildings where the view would of been better.

Channel 10 has changed it's whole look for the news, updated city shots, whole new style, music, way of presentation, the studio, the studio setup etc... preety cool !

CHANNEL 10 THE BEST !

Whats with Sandra S on the late 10 news showing a bit of leg. I was waiting for her to start to strip like they’ve done somewhere overseas presenting the news..lol

wouldn't mind that though!!

I thought is was Brisbane, at the end it cruises down the busway at southbank.

Sometimes on our news when they're interviewing someone live in Sydney the background will be a live feed from Sydney Sky Tower looking towards the harbour bridge.

I think you meant the MLC Tower. Channel Seven until recently used to do alot of interviews with people from an office on the upper levels of the tower. CNBC & Sky News use it sometimes for interviews as well. The views north from the tower is less obtrusive than Sydney Tower (as MLC is in the way).

Channel 9's static image of Melbourne from Docklands blows - they have a skycam at GTV9 (Richmond) and they should bloody well use it!

Similarly ABC from Ripponlea.

The live cams here (as stated) have gotten better. The flyovers are cool (from SE -> NW over kangaroo point for channel 9)

LOL @ that screen Fabian's shot of Mark Ferguson on the previous page. Currently his moosh is on billboards and Sydney buses all over town.

A new Coke ad that I've seen a couple of times has a very quick shot of the Sydney skyline featuring The Chifley Talls Club including 126 Phillip St. How much more up-to-date can you get than that!?!

I quite like what 7 have. They are both good though! I know I'd rather watch Ian Ross than Ferguson though! Poor Waley getting sacked like he did!

We used to have a thread for this but I can't find it. If anyone does located it let me know and I'll jettison this one.

There's an add for a Yamaha motorbike (the R1 I think) showing in Townsville at the moment. It's been customised by a local dealership so it might not be on anywhere else. Anyway they've got scenes set in London, Paris and Sydney. The Sydney shots are looking down a street, with a "Sydney Stock Exchange" sign on the left and a skyline at the end of the street. The skyline includes Sydney Tower, but also I'm sure I also see Riparian Plaza and CP2 from Brisbane!

Well Seven News in Sydney and Melbourne have *LIVE* views of their skylines in their news bulletins.
Melbourne's looks east from New Quay.

Nine News in Sydney and Brisbane have live cams projected on blue screens on to their news. Nine Melb have a fake Melb skyline (its edited).

Only the sky is edited on the Brisbane one. To block out the sun at certain times of the year. Its funny I can stand on my balcony and look at the bridge and see the same cars/trucks/busses on TV at exactly the same time they are going behind the news readers.
This Block of flats is just up the street from me – if you look just under the roof line you will notice a camera, its for Channel 9 news.

But with the Melbourne one, Eureka doesn't look nearly as impressive as Rialto from that view.

Just recently there's been an ad for KFC on TV - they have some blokes eating some burgers or something and off in the distance there's a solitary skyscraper - it's probably best described as a brown box. Anyone seen it and known what it is?

The new Paul Mac video clip shows some great shots of Sydney.

newsreader women always look like drag queens in my opinion.

It's Cook + Philip Park in Sydney. There's an underground/submerged pool just where the ladies in the background are. The "brown box" building is the old Pacific Power building (can't remember the name of it now, although I think it's just called "201 Elizabeth Street").

It's adjacent to St Mary's Cathedral.

Ah, thanks Tony P. Indeed 201 Elizabeth Street - I should have known that.

Cook and Phillip Centre just in front of St Mary's:

With National Nine News in Brisbane, have they tilted the camera to the left, because I have seen Riparian further to the left near the edge and there's more of the Storey Bridge?

It appears they have also zoomed in on the city skyline.

I like the new backdrop for Seven News of the team with the city from Southbank. I remember last year they played around with two shots of the storey bridge with the city skyline, which I thought they had zoomed in too much. one had Aurora almost complete and the other complete (and sunny).

WTF grow a neck you freak! Ugliest gronk on TV for sure.

Feck what happened to him, LOL I almost pissed myself and I am still laughing! It so is ...

Canetoad Man!

They seriously need to get with the program amd follow some the foreign news formats in employing some tastey news people, 80% are old and ugly in most of the pics I have seen on here ... tragic really.

I'd rather look at hot male and female model news presenters than this trite. BTW Sanda Sully has completely lost the plot and all credibility.

Still there

Australians don't mind ugly men reading the news. Ugly women on the other hand are another matter. God, we're progressive.

I've always been a bit impartial to Chris Bath, actually. I remember watching her as a kid doing the NBN news with some old derro in Newcastle...

Sydney looking its finest last night

http://www.mediaspy.org/forum/index.php?act=Attach&type=post&id=24959

just on that note how come nine has changed it graphics for everything else except their news service

Right now on TV some great skyline work on The Strip.

I had no idea she was from Newcastle.

Pretty much the only thing worth watching on this diplorable show.

I watched it last night, lots of aerials and not to mention the story being centred on the murder of a window cleaner who fell to his death.

Pretty much the only thing worth watching on this diplorable show.

I probably would not call it deplorable but it was pretty average (apart from the great scenery).

Unfortunately Australian commercial networks produce bland drama - The Strip is more of the same, like All Saints, City Homicide etc.

Underbelly was very good, but lets be realistic, the script was written for the producers of the show - you can't beat a real life crime story.

ABC on the other hand, continues to produce (and import) very good drama.

Sigh - Australian TV is very average.

^^ too true. i haven't watch Australian TV in over a year ....

the strip was very average, its funny -- if they didnt keep changing to people surfing between the storylines you wouldnt know it was even on the coast lol. Maybe they need to cut a deal with surf patrol to get some beach action happening :lol:

basically crap show for now, it seems like they are trying to milk the highrises as much as they can between sequences and do ya notice the camera does this rippling/weird effect when they show the aerials which ruins it i think.

The female lead actress is pretty woeful. Frankie J Holden and that ex Mcleod's Daughters guy are reasonably good actors.

I'll give it another 2 views before I write it off. It may warm up.

Probably needs more boobies.

It just needs to stop trying to be CSI Miami. It's not, it's a cheap rip off. I couldn't help but lol at the glances into the distance and all the one liners. Not to mention the 70's porn background music

Terrible everything. Writing, directing, acting, editing. FFS. What a cornburger.

Australian drama + cheap local actors = :down:

ok, i know its an advertisement, and a shithouse newspaper..

but i love this ad for the herald sun. best skyline shots ive seen in ages.

it was almost like watching Paradise Beach. I think thats what it was called, with Kurt. Anyone know what Im talking about

it was embarrassing.

all Australian "drama" is embarrasing. Australian TV is shite (other than ABC productions)..

/\/\ pretty much, but that show was extra bad. Could've been really good, i love the idea of setting a crime series on the GC.

I suppose that's how it's supposed to make you feel. Can't believe they make you watch a 30 second LG ad before you can watch their ad though. Fairly pathetic.

They virtually cut the intro to Nine News in Sydney to "This is Nine News with xxx".

Re the backdrop for Seven News Adelaide, I am sure they have stretched it out. Those buildings are not that tall in real life.

Nope. You would be able to tell if the live shot was stretched.

This is how the Adelaide one looks when there is some light. No distortion.
