What could we possibly need besides our superhuman intellect and creative prowess?

Well, we actually do rely on a fairly extensive suite of production tools.

For 3D animation we use the Electric Image Animation System, Form-Z, & Extreme 3D. For 2D animation we use the Production Bundle of Adobe After Effects with all of the necessary additional plug-ins. We also use several image manipulation packages such as Photoshop, Painter, Illustrator, DeBabelizer, Elastic Reality, & TextureScape.

Interactive Presentations are created using Macromedia's Flash, Dreamweaver and Director. Motion City also has two non-linear edit bays featuring Final Cut Pro and Media 100.

Our in-house composer/audio engineer uses Pro Tools. We can import from and export to Betacam SP, 3/4-inch, DVD, mini-DV, VHS, S-VHS, Hi-8 DAT, Audio CD, and CD-ROM. We have a special arrangement with a video rental house that allows us to bring in Digibeta and HD decks at an affoardable rate.

We've posted a list of some of the people we've had the opportunity to work with. Check out our client list for more information.
