Digital Kitchen is a creative agency that focuses on film production, experiential design, motion graphics, brand identity, and interactive work for marketing and entertainment. With studios in New York, Chicago, Seattle, and Los Angeles, Digital Kitchen has created experiential campaigns for Target and Microsoft, broadcast spots for hundreds of leading brands, interactive work for AT&T, Budweiser, and Mercedes, the Emmy Award-winning main titles for "Dexter" and "Six Feet Under", a series of manga comic books for Nike, and the live show content for The 2008 Webby Awards.
To give its artists a wide range of tools and plug-ins in one unified visual effects suite, Digital Kitchen recently standardized on Boris Continuum Complete AE for Adobe After Effects, investing in 65 licenses including 20 render-only licenses. Instead of constantly digging and searching for the right plug-in, Digital Kitchen artists turn to one of BCC AE's nearly 200 filters for fast, easy, and visually-striking effects. Using BCC AE as a one-stop shop for visual effects has resulted in increased creativity and productivity.

Time Warner Cable Media Sales produces 30 second spots for businesses that want to advertise on networks such as ESPN, CNN, USA, and FOODTV. With 15 edit bays, they have used Final Effects Complete AE with Adobe After Effects for over eight years. In addition, they use Boris Continuum Complete in conjunction with Adobe After Effects and Apple Final Cut Pro.
"I don't think we can work with After Effects without FEC and BCC. The filters are that important," comments Russ Grace, Production Technical Supervisor, Time Warner Cable Media Sales. "Boris plug-ins help us provide our clients with a better product - and the filters are easy to use. As long as Boris makes plug-ins for After Effects or Final Cut Pro, we will buy them."

With more than 25 years of editing experience, the Dallas-based video post-production company, db Editorial, has cut every project - from commercials and music videos to feature films and episodic TV. db Editorial has two Avid Media Composer systems and relies heavily on Adobe After Effects for graphics compositing. The team selected this set-up after evaluating which tools could efficiently handle complex workflows. Being able to use the same graphic filter set in editing and compositing tools is a smart investment that makes the finishing process efficient and saves hours on each customer project...

I have thought of myself as an artist (photographer, electronic musician, videographer, VJ, etc.) since I left graduate school (Ph. D, in Physics) in 1970. I have (like most artists) supported myself with day jobs. Since 1984, these jobs have involved making tools for artists to use - first as the founder and chief engineer of Doctor T's Music Software, a pioneering MIDI software company, and, more recently, with Boris FX. I've been a software engineer and visual effects designer with Boris since 1997.
I purchased Final Effects (directly from Sweden) when it first came out in 1995. I've been using Boris Continuum Complete (and its predecessors) since we started developing them during my first year with Boris. It has been a pleasure to work with both products as both artist and developer, and a special pleasure to add some new twists to old favorites such as FEC Kaledia and FEC Radial Scale Wipe...

Rev13 Films is a boutique post-production and production facility. Recently, the dynamic Montreal-based production company Rezolution Pictures International asked Rev13 Films to do the finishing for a high-octane, documentary-style car show they were producing called RezRides. They wanted a very powerful and engaging opener for the show. Creatively the producers wanted the feeling of light and movement, as if the cars were precious diamonds or metals that reflected, streaked and even emanated light. Rev13 Films turned to Boris Continuum Complete to create the lights, glows, and streaks...
