Anybody know a Scala wipe that does this?

Greetings fellow "Scalawags",

I was at the American Museum of Natural History in New York a few weeks ago. Above their ticket desks they have plasma screens running what looks to be an Infochannel-like application, but I have no idea whether its Scala or one of its competitors.

Although I'm not one to get particularly excited by wipes, I did see one screen transition that I thought was pretty cool. You know in train stations how they have (or used to have) sign boards that contain metal strips of text that would physically 'flip' to bring up the name and time of the next next train departures? Well the plasma screen had a similar wipe effect. From a full screen graphic, the image flipped over as a series of strips, revealing aligned colored 'stripes' that show when the IMAX and planetarium shows were. It was a real 3D looking effect, as though the plasma panel was physically constructed of strips that could flip over.

Am I making any sense? Does anybody know of a Scala wipe that resembles what I'm describing?

Cheers,

John Stoke

Hi John,

We have made myriad of wipes, and we have wipe that is similar to one you have described (if I understood your description correctly) made in several variations. Would you be interested in testing few of those?

Hi John,

I have uploaded one demo script showing some examples if (again I have understood well what you are asking).

You must open it in iplay.

If you think about fast rotating metal plates, where one letter at the time is changed (some airports have boards announcing flight schedule like those) we have that also.
