NBC 4 New York recently commissioned Oink Ink, the New York City creative shop, to handle its radio promos for its news coverage. The spots promote the NBC owned television station’s various news teams such as Storm Team 4 and Today in New York.
The spots feature a husband and wife duo, (actors Rob Pruitt and Sheila Head) as they manage their lives, dependant upon NBC 4 New York’s news coverage. The commercials demonstrate the value of getting up-to-date news and weather information from News 4 New York, a continuation of their campaign called “The Now”. In the radio spot “News Together” the husband decides it might be better to just call in sick, since there is much traffic caused by a presidential motorcade, train delays from electrical damage and a storm watch in effect. This is all information his wife of course got from watching NBC 4 New York.
“Working with NBC 4 New York was a great experience,” says Oink Ink Creative Director Jim Price. “We were able to create funny, engaging promos which don’t at all sound like ‘promos’.” Melissa “Missy” Crawford, the Vice President of Marketing for the station oversaw the production.
The spots are airing in the New York metro area.

Boris FX Brings Greater ML Power To Continuum’s Video Editing and Visual Effects Toolkit
Boris FX announces the release of Continuum 2025, which strengthens its machine-learning capabilities with a growing list of creative effects and innovative tools. The award-winning plugin collection now includes six internally developed, ethically trained ML-driven effects that streamline workflows and save artists valuable time. Continuum 2025 is available with subscription pricing starting at $195/year. “Continuum’s two new ML effects take tasks that are traditionally tricky, applying dynamic motion blur to live action shots and concealing license plate identifiers, and provides users with speedy and accurate one-click solutions,” says Boris Yamnitsky, President and Founder of Boris FX. “The addition of Motion Blur ML and License Plate ML highlights Continuum’s continuing push towards developing ML-driven post-production tools that take the guesswork out of laborious tasks while ensuring artists maintain their creative freedom.” “Continuum 2025’s standout effect is Motion Blur ML. Its machine-learning optical flow only blurs the moving section of a shot, isolating and leaving untouched sections with none or less motion,” states Ra-ey Saleh, offline & online editor (Discovery, TLC, HGTV). “It's perfect for any type of production, making it easy to add an extra layer of realism or more in-your-face stylization to video and text.” ML Technology BCC+ Motion Blur ML uses a sophisticated ML algorithm to instantly detect pixel movement and apply realistic motion blur to video and motion graphics. Users can adjust blur intensity and direction (forward, backward, or a combination) or... Read More
