When Apple approached us to help launch Motion in Hong Kong, we jumped onto the opportunity to launch an exciting new software. With its real-time previews, procedural behavior animation and Final Cut Pro HD and DVD studio Pro integration, Apple Motion is apple's solution for Motion Graphics. Packaged as part of the Apple Production Suite together including Final Cut Pro HD and DVD Studio Pro 3, a complete workflow solution for professionals right here, on your desktop. FatBars have been creating Motion graphics for clients like National Geographic Channel, Hallmark, celestial movies etc. We are in the industry of making motion graphics. So we are very excited to incorporate Motion, into our family of training courses.

As many people like us, have seen the Motion standard demo, we feel that this launch should be about real people in real HD situations. What are the mysterious of HD Motion graphics? Real production people presenting to real production audiences. With only two weeks to go before the seminar, we jumped right into project: Motion Launch.

   

With the help of Apple and the people in Panasonic Shun Hing Industrial Sales (Hong Kong) Company Limited, dealers for Panasonic Pro video equipment, the seminar begun to take shape. Our presentations was based on actual HD motion graphics production, using Motion and Final Cut Pro, outputting onto a Panasonic deck, right in front of the audience.

A seminar which the audience can experience a revolutionized HD creative production process at ground-breaking cost level. We have Mac G5s, Panasonic's Video Tape Player/Recorder AJ-HD1200A, xerve raids, blackmagic decklink HD card, coming together to give the audience a seminar, hard to forget. As the news started to spread about this seminar, people from the professional fields who knew of us, started to enquiry about the excitement. They all wanted see what they have not seen before. Sure enough, the crowd starts pouring in. An audience of over 200 people came and saw for themselves, real Production Suite in Motion.
