First Alert Doppler Net is a new network of Doppler radars giving our viewers faster, higher resolution, detailed view of storms passing through our area using 3 radar sites. It’s quite a challenge illustrating a concept like radars with no actual footage of the radar sites, and the scan itself is invisible. We used Unreal Engine and Google Earth to give viewers a sense of what exactly this is, in a fully graphics driven promo.
In addition to the promo, we had an explainer style animated news package to run during shows, delving in a little deeper on just what makes Doppler Net special.
