About Rocket

Design. Delivery. Support.

Rocket is Rushes’ multimedia department. We are fully equipped to provide creative design, digital delivery, and suite support services.

Our graphic services range from preparing supplied artwork to completely generating in-screen graphics. Rocket has the necessary expertise with various file formats, including graphics supplied from print environments. Being able to prepare these graphics for a broadcast environment ensures that they are as flexible as possible when implemented within the online suite, maximising time spent editing.

In addition to converting and transferring artwork, Rocket has worked on creating original still graphics for UPS, Zoot Woman, and Abs. We have also begun to emerge as an important animation resource with work like Nokia’s sponsorship idents for Channel 4's Fashion House, created primarily in Rocket. Our design capabilities extend to DVD and CD-Rom menus and authoring.

Rocket enables clients to quickly transmit finished work or works in progress to locations all over the world. Offering services such as Telestream, on-line approval, FTP, and encoding for email, we provide the option of circumventing tape delivery to approve edits. Online approval and electronic delivery have become increasingly popular and Rocket has been at the forefront of development and implementation of these services for Rushes’ clients. Telestream allows us to transmit broadcast or approval quality material to locations all over the world. Advertising via “viral emails” is becoming increasingly important and Rocket has the experience necessary to create the right kind of files, through campaigns such as Virgin Mobile “Red” and “Free Airtime.”

As a relatively new area, electronic delivery can seem complicated or technical. In fact it is as simple as accessing your favourite website or reading an email. As these services expand and their use becomes more widely accepted, more people are finding that they can use electronic delivery within their local area as well as for global delivery. This minimises the delays of a traditional delivery, and rapid delivery ensures a more effective use of time spent producing and creating.
