This is rad- Mars Lewis of StepN2 Motion Graphics & Visual FX has posted what’s called an “eyeliner” – the network/title scroll that often fades in and out along the bottom of your screen during TV programs.
One of the more anticipated shows of the upcoming fall lineup is “The Vampire Diaries” – a Twilight like TV series on the CW. Here is my latest design for the promotional eyeliner for the series.

Looks like this is specific to CW27-Norfolk but still rather nifty.
In other news, thanks to director Marcos Siega we now know that the official start of filming for The Vampire Diaries in Atlanta is Tuesday, July 21st.

According to Marcos Siega, shooting for episode one of the Vampire Diaries begins in four weeks. From the way those dates stack up, it looks they’ll be heading off to Georgia (where Julie Plec is currently scouting for Elena’s house in Atlanta, if she isn’t lost in the airport) to start filming and then flying back for the panel at San Diego Comic-Con. (Who will be attending the panel is not yet known.) Quite what this means for the rumours that the pilot will be shown at Comic-Con remains to be seen.
Meanwhile, Kevin Williamson is busy staying up late and working on the next episode, even if he is taking breaks to watch True Blood. We’d say he was paying far too much attention to the wrong vampires, but as it’s True Blood, we think we can let it slide. ;) [Um, I watch True Blood, too! -Vee]
On a tangent, we’re still getting a lot of comments on the subject of Elena not being blonde and how that ‘ruins’ the whole plot regarding Katherine. Putting all feelings of disappointment over Elena not being a blonde aside, we just want to say that Nina Dobrev is featured in an old photograph as Katherine in the extended trailer, and will have brown hair and eyes for both roles. The plot still works, they’re just both brunette instead of blonde. Hopefully that fact will help alleviate the worries some people have on the issue.

Industry database Inbaseline.com is listing Bryan Holdman as Executive Story Editor for the 2009-2010 season of The Vampire Diaries. (So he’s the guy in charge of supervising the writers, banging the scripts into shape for production, etc.) Holdman was previously a writer and executive story editor for Kyle XY, which many of you know by now is TVDtv Executive Producer Julie Plec’s former show. He also wrote episodes for Everwood (which featured TVDtv actor Steven R. McQueen) and Hidden Palms (Kevin Williamson’s last television venture).
Andrew Kreisberg has joined the show as Co-Executive Producer (second-in-command, if you will). His previous producer credits include Eli Stone, Fringe, and Boston Legal, and he was also a writer and story editor on The Simpsons.
So, the Vampire Diaries chatter amongst the Atlanta acting community has been non-stop since the CW upfront, and just the other day director Marcos Siega confirmed he was headed to Georgia once he wrapped Dexter. And now we see that Atlanta is listed as the shooting location on InBaseline.com. So, yes, that all adds up to quasi-official confirmation that The Vampire Diaries is shooting in and around Atlanta, Georgia, as not-so-subtly hinted at by Williamson last month.
And, finally, Jezebel in the TVD forums alerted us to this nugget of information on Katerina Graham’s Wikipedia page and we’ve confirmed with Julie Plec: Bonnie’s last name is BENNETT in the pilot (not McCullough, and Plec does say “as of the current cut”).
