DO THE "SHAKE" WITH CARTOON NETWORK

Cartoon Network is a cable television network created by Turner Broadcasting (Time Warner Inc.), which primarily shows cartoons programming. In most parts of Asia, the Cartoon Network feed is the same. This means viewers in Singapore get the same Cartoon Network programming at the same time as the viewers in Malaysia, Thailand, and many other countries in the region.

But for India, they get their own customized version of Cartoon Network. Cartoon Network India is arguably the most popular cartoon-dedicated television channel in India. It airs English and Hindi-dubbed versions of a variety of cartoons, including Tom and Jerry, Scooby-Doo, Justice League and Dexter's Laboratory

What most people do not realized, is that much of the promotional graphics you see on CN, are actually done inside the Cartoon Network office, right here in Hong Kong.  We at FATBARS are great fans of animation. So we were excited when we were asked to arrange a customized Shake Course for their graphics department. Like most of our broadcast clients, setting training time and dates for a department whose employees work in shift, takes a bit of customization. But why Apple Shake, you might ask.

Like Superman who posses Super Strength, Cartoon Network in Hong Kong uses the Super Composting and Keying Powers of Apple Shake. Mostly dealing with chroma key footages shot in India. As we have seen much too often, many problems occurred when we try to pull a clean key from footages shot by someone else.

With its 3D multi-plane compositing, 32-bit Keylight and Primatte keying, Optical Flow image processing, smooth stabilization and image tracking, it is easy to see why Shake was chosen again and again for the task. This industrial strength software are used in effects intensive movies like King Kong, Lord of Rings, Matrix, etc.

With their new acquired "shake powers", they will be“shaking” their super graphics right onto your tv screens!
We wish our new superheros, Good luck.
