After Effects Production Training for Mass Transit Railway (MTR)
When MTR Corporations first came to Fatbars for their Final Cut Pro and Motion training 8 years ago, it was great to find production people outside of the broadcast production industries that we are familiar with. We visited MTR 5 years ago to understand their production workflow and needs.
Since then MTR had grown. In addition to Hong Kong, the MTR Corporation runs individual subway lines in Beijing, Hangzhou, and Shenzhen in China, two lines in the London Underground, and the entire Melbourne and Stockholm systems. The Mass Transit Railway (MTR) Corporation, which manages the subway and bus systems on Hong Kong Island and, since 2006, in the northern part of Kowloon, is considered the gold standard for transit management worldwide.
Recently, MTR came back to Fatbars for their After Effects Motion Graphics Production training. We visited MTR Headquarters again, to check out the changes to their production since 5 years ago. Like all production houses these days, they are running Apple Final Cut Pro 7 as well as using Apple Final Cut Pro X to edit their projects. Apple Motion is still the main motion graphics software. The addition of Adobe After Effects skills will come handy when it comes to 3D tracking and visual effects needs. Understanding the strength of each of the software, plugins, file formats and cameras, will give your production team the best tools for the job. That has always been the fundamental concept of Fatbars post production training.
The MTR team projects have always evolve around corporate training and events projects. With the growth of MTR comes the growth in the amount of production work that needs to be done, while keeping their production standards. Multi language versioning and multiple formats with quick turn around time are a constant challenge to the team. We wish them luck.
