We want to create images and manipulate them.
We started this project with a three person group that has grown into a 20 person group.
With this work, we have taken the ideas of every staff member and integrated them into a cohesive whole.
It is incredible that we have been able to work so well together and share our ideas with so many people.
Winning this award is a great honor and we will continue building our dreams together.
Thank you very much.

At root, this work is a video production tool. However, the software is as intuitive to use as playing a musical instrument, and its hair-trigger reactivity allows highly sophisticated synchronization of visual imagery and music in real time. In that sense, it re-writes our old definition of video tools without simply becoming a video game, leading us into a new and unexplored realm of entertainment.
