1000 cc Raw Thrill Open

Lone Peak Productions created a stunning show open and graphics package for the new High Definition (HD) television show, 1000cc Raw Thrill. The show opens with great sportbike footage, killer graphics and high-energy music that grabs the viewer’s attention.  It has a cutting edge look and feel with all sorts of gauges and high impact footage.

To create this I utilized Apple’s Motion to create this TV show open. Motion provided real time playback to help speed up the creation process. The ability to avoid RAM previews was a major time saver. Other features I tapped into were its motion tracking capabilities and massive library of customizable content. This would have taken me longer to create in After Effects and shows how powerful of an application Motion truly is.

Another challenge Lone Peak faced was incorporating SD footage into the HD open. Because SD footage is a lot smaller in size than HD I wasn’t sure on how to incorporate it into the open.  Because of that, I came up with the idea to show off lots of footage at the same time. This not only solved the challenge Lone Peak was given, but also created a truly unique look and feel.

The result is an open worthy of the two hosts (Greg White and Erin Bates from the Speed Channel) and the numerous top sportbike riders who join them each episode. To decide for yourself check out the motion graphics created in Motion for the 1000cc Raw Thrill show open.
