Here's a small animation I've made.
This animation will be shown on MTV Europe on Monday 25 this month. It will
be shown in the program "Top Selection" which is on at 20:00 (Central
European Time).
What do you think?
By the way, if anybody here is able to grab screen shots from TV I would
appreciate it if you could get some screenshots of the program while my
animation is on, and then send them to me!

Extremely cool and congratulations!
PLEASE tell me EXACTLY what kind of hardware and video format they wanted:
1) MPG-1 on CD-ROM,
2) AVI on VHS cassette,
3) etc.
Thanks.

Top Selection is a program where they, besides showing lots of music videos,
show pictures and animations sent in by the viewers. The viewers don't get
that much credit - I imagine they will say something like, "This cool
animations is made by Rune from Denmark".
> That's pretty cool, Rune! Feel proud: We are!
Thank you! The show is on Monday to Thursday every week, and they *always*
show pictures and animations, so it isn't *that* special - but still a
little exiting! :-)

All the other viewers who have sent in pictures and animations don't seem to

Erm, why? If you watch MTV Europe you'll know - and if you don't, then I
don't think it would be appropriate to send them stuff... Please clarify.

Well, when you go to get your next big cool gig and tell the folks (oh
so very casually) that your work has been on MTV and <bla bla>, your
grooviness factor will be much higher.

The way I said it may have sounded in a way it shouldn't have - I was just
wondering really.
Anyway, the animation isn't sent on CD-ROM or VHS, but simply by e-mail.
Various formats can be used (I used AVI) - more details can be found on the
MTV Europe website.
Hope that was what you wanted to know...
BTW, I'm still wondering what the question was about!

I read it as, "In what format do professional broadcasters want their
animations when you submit them?" Sort of a general question about
something that you have knowledge of in one specific example. So he might be
able to assume, barring information to the contrary, that other broadcasters
might want a similar format.

Thank you, that cleared it up (assuming you were right about what Greg
meant).
However, I'm not sure that is the general way things are handled at
professional broadcasters. After all, there's a difference between a 6 sec
animation and animations that are much longer...

Congratulations! Stardom at last, eh?
Think they'll end up trimming it to a single rotation instead of the 2? I'm
only joking of course but it always seems little graphic interludes such as
this are always so short, flash and it's gone. I'm sure it will be original
length though :-) not that it's a large frame count as it is. Should have
put subliminal messages about www.povray.org, news:povray.org and a few
other things or people while you were at it. Again, I'm joking around...
maybe.

No, all the colored dots are just artifacts caused by the high compression.

If I'm lucky they'll loop it a few times (even though it's not cyclic).

EXACTLY.
I still have dreams of setting up my own TV commercial business on the side,
with say a walking donut advertising for our local donut shop. I've also
thought of doing (offered to do) some pro-bono work for charities, and wondered
what the stations/networks REALLY want.
And is it really just any kind of AVI? Or did you have to use a program to
convert to NTSC-safe colors, etc.?
No, I'm not going to solicit MTV-E just yet.............

It's a heightfield intersection. The image I got from the MTVE website. I
then singled out the "tv" part and blurred it a little.

Ahh yes, who doesn't dream about using POV-Ray professionally...

I'm afraid I don't know, because MTV Top Selection is a special case:
"MTV's Top Selection is taking a giant leap into the twenty first century!
Gone are the days of studios and the tape machines, the show is now totally
designed, developed and transmitted from an ordinary PC."
> And is it really just any kind of AVI? Or did you have

No, it's not just any kind of AVI. You have to EXACTLY follow these
guidelines (I quote):
"We prefer these formats (avi, mov, swf, gif, jpg, bmp). If your file is not
in one of these formats, try to send it to us anyway, and we will have a
look."

Do you mean how long it took me to create the animation?
It took me about a day to create and 8 hours to render.
I used Chris Colefax' Object Exploder and the glows in MegaPOV+.

Thanks Rune. I haven't even seriously contemplated trying to do an
animation yet, (If I can). I just wanted to know what sort of time it takes
to do what you have done, and whether it is viable for me at the moment.
For instance, if I quadruple your times, and get a 'movement' from my
effort, then I will be happy! :o)
Thanks, ~Steve~
(gonna give it a go, but ain't got a clue as to 'what' yet... ;o)

I just saw it in TV now. The animations was squashed to a square, looped a
few times, and had this text written next to it:

I forgot to make a request? Oops...

So, you're saying they want square animations?
How about giving them a POV-flood?

1. The web page is: http://mtve.com/sho/topse/letter.html
2. Yes, the "M" is in fact Gil Sans Ultrabold, in case anyone was doubting. (I
can just tell!)
3. Rune, where did you get the "tv"?
4. Think they'll object to blokes from the states?

If some of us POV-Ray users who actually watch the program (whether it is
often or just occasionally) sent in some animations and/or pictures made
especially for that program I see no harm in that.
However, I would dissociate myself from it if people sent in things even
though they have never actually watched the program, or if they sent in
pre-existing material just to use the program as an exhibition of their
personal artwork.

Yeah, I was thinking of making something brand new with the MTV logo, but yes
at the same time, just to use the program as an exhibition of their personal
artwork. Cannot get MTV-E in the states.
