When Im watching a show on CBS or NBC they put a little logo in the corner. Like CBS has that eye thingy and NBC has the peacock thing. But how do they stay on the camera? do they tape them on? Because they do a really good job of hiding whatever keeps it up? I thought that maybe they engrave it onto the screen, but sometimes it changes sides and goes of for commircials.
And like on CNN and FOX, they have the letters. How do they get the letters on the thing? Like they have those yellow letters moving from side to side? That's really cool, but how they do that without letters coming off screen?

They use invisible duct tape. It is widely known in the scientific community that duct tape holds the world together. When television stations first started posting their logos, they were using the silver duct tape. Viewers complained that they couldn't see the program through the duct tape. Then, in 2001, invisible duct tape was invented. The world of television rejoiced! They were finally able to post their logos and viewers could still see the program! When the station wants to switch sides, they simply use their invisible popsicle sticks (invented in 1994, by the way) to pry them off quickly and reapply them on the other side. For the moving text, the station has employed invisible oompa loompas to quickly tape the text on a moving roll of invisible duct tape. It's quite complicated. Hope this helps.

They put letters and symbols on television in much the same way they put pictures and words onto web sites. Since television stations are computerized, they can set a particular section to have information, the time, a symbol, whatever, just like coding a web site or typing a letter.
Since I'm not a computer programmer, that's about as deep as I can get with it, but after invisible duct tape rolls spun by invisible oompa loompas, I feel like freakin' Mr. Wizard.

El Biggo Scamo! Did you notice the television clip under no circumstances stated the call of the corporation? actual brokers and casting directors do not waste their time with the 1st 2 hundred nobodies to call. they have hundreds of actual actors to come to a decision from. in the event that they don't attempt to sell you some thing or ask for funds at this "auditon." i visit offer you a unfastened replica of my e book, The Tao of performing
