A M Productions utilizes the latest digital video hardware and software.
3D animation and visualization
is created in 3D Studio & Lightwave 3D.
These software packages render photo-realistic images and animation sequences.
Physical properties such as mass, inertia, gravity, and collision detection
can be applied to the object geometry allowing for accurate recreations
of real life motion & situations.
3D animation is not all we do, still images are created in Photoshop, an advanced graphics program capable of outputing film resolution imagery created from scratch or by manipulating scanned images. 2D animation and compositing is handled by After Effects which allows still images, digital video and 3D animations to be combined and manipulated, blue screen keys, scaling, motion, colour effects, geometrics can all be animated and key framed over time!
Once all the elements are created, the Media 100 takes over. The Media 100 is the latest in online quality non-linear video editing. Using fast hard drives as are video sources instead of video tape allows us to quickly edit video on the computer. The output of the Media 100 is 60 fields/sec broadcast quality video. Any changes or alterations the client wishes to make are easily created on the Media 100.
We all realize equipment
is useless without trained and skilled personnel,
A M Productions staff have been creating video programs for over
12 years and are always keeping abreast of the latest in computer and
video technology.
