With Magic Bullet Suite, the Manhattan-based post house was able to give pre-concert footage a 16 mm film look that was artistically differentiated from the live musical performances shot on BetaCam.
The show’s line-up includes hit bands and artists, Hoobastank, Maroon 5, Kanye West, New Found Glory, The Darkness, Yellowcard, Trapt, Nelly, and many more
. The series began broadcasting weekly on July 7, 2004.
Magic Bullet Suite is a set of After Effects plug-ins developed by The Orphanage for de-interlacing and de-artifacting footage; converting DV footage to 24 frames per second (film speed); applying film treatments; cropping footage to any standard format; and ensuring compliance with broadcast TV standards.
Magic Bullet Suite comes in two versions: Magic Bullet Suite Standard Definition (SD) for $795 USD, supporting NTSC and PAL video solutions and Magic Bullet Suite High Definition (HD) for $1,295 USD which has no resolution limit.
