Imagineer Systems Bolsters Support for Schools, Students with New Educational Discount Program

Special Pricing for Schools Help Prepare Students for Advanced Tracking, Roto with mocha and mocha Pro

Imagineer Systems announced the launch of a new educational initiative designed to make it easier for schools and students to invest in, and learn valuable planar tracking and rotoscoping skills with mocha and mocha Pro, the Company's powerful, 64-bit VFX desktop software tools. With this announcement, Imagineer Systems is launching a new educators pricing program for schools and students that includes special discounts on mocha and mocha Pro.

The new program comes at a time when schools are expanding their efforts to provide more advanced VFX training for their students and better prepare them for new careers upon graduation.

"Mocha's impact on the VFX industry can clearly be seen in works as far ranging as blockbuster 3D movies to everyday television commercials, and film schools are striving to prepare their students for these new opportunities," said Ross Shain, chief marketing officer, Imagineer Systems. "As a result of these trends, we have seen a sharp rise in installations of mocha at schools around the world. We decided the time was right to launch a program that made it even easier for schools and students to invest in mocha, giving them the industry's most powerful tracking and roto tools at a price that didn't break their already thin budgets."

"At The DAVE School in Orlando, Florida, we provide professional level training in digital animation and visual effects. Tools like mocha and mocha Pro are now an essential part of the VFX industry and we teach them within our compositing and stereoscopic programs," added Daniel Smith, Stereoscopic Instructer, Dave School. "We have recently found that many companies are looking for experienced mocha users, and we are happy to provide students with the skills they need to land jobs in the VFX industry."
