soo what was his million dollar question? it was cut out in the end... and did he win?
Interesting fellow, relaxed, nonchalant, sure in his answers, I like him. Bravo 👏

WWTBAM attracted a lot of neurodivergent, awkward on TV types. Same in the US, some contestants with Regis are the type that would never get through auditions in a million years but aced the questions.

How could you possibly know they were neurodivergent? Everyone is an arm chair psychiatrist these days.

He would have done. He had the right answer to the million pound question, but Chris later said that if the klaxon hadn't gone after the £500,000 question, he believes that Steve would have gone for it.

10:38 Are the question graphics for our screens generated live as the game is played, or in post-production? Because they lock in Fabrics before he's even given a full answer. "Fa..." BAM! Because if that's how fast they actually took that answer, that's ridiculous. I do know that the lifelines caption which occasionally slides in over the question and answers is post-production, because it never appears unless the contestant actually then decides to use one, it always pre-empts a lifeline being used.

Most likely they are generated during the game, but in a separate video stream. Not unlike the captions with the names in the news broadcast. After the recording there are, let's say for simplicity, two video "files": studio footage and graphics of equal length. While studio one is just a regular video, graphics have the screen filled with a "key color" that is treated as transparent (like green). It's not an separate transparency channel like in PNG images because video formats back then were made to store only visible video signal. So for every frame of studio footage there is a frame of graphics drawn on top of it without "key color" parts. During editing there are a things that are cut (excluded/deleted), so if editor will cut some studio footage, they also should cut the same amount of graphics. If there's a few frames of difference between the length of two cuts, it leads to things like "accepting answer" graphics being shown a bit before the contestant finishes saying the word. Another reason is just accidentally moving the relevant graphics segment for a few frames on the "timeline". > _I do know that the lifelines caption which occasionally slides in over the question and answers is post-production, because it never appears unless the contestant actually then decides to use one, it always pre-empts a lifeline being used._ Lifeline captions can also be added live during filming, with a second graphics layer. Almost the same stuff, but with an extra step. Video frames have space for some text data. The most well known usage is subtitles. But in case of a graphics footage it can also store the information for video editing system. For example, when the contestant starts thinking or hesitating, a guy at the live editing station can press a button and roll the lifelines. The first frame of the lifeline animation can have the subtitle like "LIFELINE SEGMENT START". Then, if the player didn't use a lifeline, editor can press another button that will add "LIFELINE SEGMENT IGNORE" to the "lifeline graphics" video stream. So during the final rendering, software/hardware (depends on studio setup) can just skip layering this specific segment of lifeline graphics. This way lifeline graphics can be deleted in retrospect for final render right during filming. I described only one example of how it can be done and it can be achieved in a few different ways even with a hardware they had back then.

@@jackiwheeler6963 There are a few channels on KZbin that cover the history of old audio/video equipment with historical context, technical details and usage examples covering both consumer and professional ends of the spectrum. *1. Cathode Ray Dude - CRD* is awesome when it comes about video filming and production process. Gravis (dude's name) has a decent collection of different old cameras, editing equipment and some live production equipment. Interesting ones are covered in his videos with hands-on examples and equipment teardowns/repairs from time to time. His videos relevant to our topic: _What the heck is a video mixer?_, _Learning to run a broadcast in ONE HOUR [Tricaster TCXD850]_ (it lasts half of an hour) and _Weird Thing: MFJ-1480B Video Title-r_. They can give you an idea about some of the possible possible ways of mixing and layering different video outputs and titles/graphics on the go. Of course it's not even close to multimillion dollar setup in WWTBAM studio, but it's enough to get some understanding. Aside video equipment he also has a lot of stuff about old computers and related devices. The latest *2. Technology Connections.* It has two relevant videos. First is about closed captions (subtitles) and how they work (video titled _Closed Captioning: More Ingenious than You Know_ ). Another one is about a machine that detects swear words in TV subtitles, replaces them with "family friendly" words and mutes the sound. It is an example of a simple hobby-level device altering audio/video signal guided by subtitles, somewhat like in the example I provided (video titled _This TV gadget censors bad words with 1980's tech_). Alec (channel's host) also covers a variety of other "non-video" topics like the tech behind stereo vinyl records, explosive flashes for old pocket cameras or demonstration of inner workings of a mechanical pinball machine. The kind of stuff I turned on Discovery Channel for more than a decade ago, but in a cozy setting instead of a Big Important Show. *3. Techmoan* has a video about Sony's professional recordable Laserdiscs (pre-CD and pre-DVD 12 inch disks with video on them) called "sony CRVdisc. Mat (channel host) also demonstrates machinery used to read and write them. The video is titled _RECORDABLE ‘Laserdisc’ - Sony CRVdisc_ . It is relevant because it is a demonstration of non-linear medium used in TV production (although it was mostly used in a "linear" way in TV production setting with just playing ad sequences or programme intro sequences) that doesn't need rewinding the tape back to refer to the footage from a minute ago (like in my example with START/IGNORE subtitles). The channel mainly focuses on the reviews of consumer audio and video equipment from modern days to, like, a post-WW2 German plastic audio tapes with grooves in them just like on a vinyl records. Fascinating. For the old stuff there's also historical context and, usually, some repair process (electronics don't get young). *4. Nostalgia Nerd* has a video about 1980s BBC Domesday Project ( _Walk Around an 80s City with LASERDISC! The Domesday Project | Nostalgia Nerd_ ) that uses similar Laserdisc as a medium for interactive encyclopedia. It stored both graphics in frames along with data like text for (don't remember if it had any sound). It had maps, Laserdisc player/drive received commands from the computer, so it's relevant as a demonstration of computer-driven useful navigation through prerecorded mixed video/data. I've got a bit too carried away with writing about that. After all, they may have used the techniques that I described as well as something completely different. I may be also completely mistaken and they just added everything in post. But it doesn't matter much because my goal wasn't to uncover the real process, but to tell how it is _possible_ to avoid adding all the stuff in post. They probably weren't using any Laserdisc-based media either, choosing something more modern for the third millennia. But it doesn't matter either because since the introduction of spinning disks and flash memory later, technically, there isn't much of a difference where you store it because you will store the same content regardless and without the need for rewinds. Laserdisk (and it's version called Sony CRVdisc) was used by me just as an example of cool stuff that existed in TV studios without the need for modern (2010-2024) tech. *Honourable mention: a documentary about EditDroid" - a custom built computer with Laserdisc that was used to edit Start Wars. It is available on KZbin ( video name: _EditDroid: Rise and Fall 1080p_ , channel name: _Tom van Klingeren_ ). EDIT: formatting
