Blippo/Show
From Playdate Community Wiki
Blippo+ is a show, and this is about analysis of it as a show.
Visual details
- Each channel has their own logo
- Each show has their uniquely designed title cards, plus other show-specific elements like custom lower thirds

Technical details and trivia
- Each show is 1 minute long, and each channel consists of 5 shows.
- Video is actually streamed over the internet to the playdates. So it requires internet to see the channels.
- Channels are synced for all users, because they are synched to local device time. Each show starts on the minute and the cycle starts fresh with the morning show at :00, :05, :10, :15 etc.
- Nearly all segments were filmed using classic television cameras with a 4:3 aspect ratio, and then cropped for the playdate with its 5:3 aspect ratio screen. This is most apparent in Realms Beyond which regularly cuts off the host's head during wide shots. Subspace Lunchbox on the other hand is perfectly framed for 5:3 screens.
