Jupiter launches Animation Factory Pro to serve professional multi-media producers
Jupitermedia (Nasdaq: JUPM) has announced that it has launched a professional version of its popular Animation Factory flash animation site called Animation Factory Pro (AF Pro). Jupiter acquired the South Dakota based Animation Factory in Dec 2005 for $9.35 million (and the assumption of certain unknown liabilities). The subscription website now offers annual memberships with varying access levels starting with ‘Gold’ at $59.95, ‘Platinum” at $99.95, and now ‘Pro’ at $199.95. In addition to the basic offering Pro subscribers are granted access to high definition backgrounds, special video elements and alpha channels for compositing in video or flash animations, flash Web site templates and a library of sound effects and music loops.
JupiterMedia CEO Alan Meckler offered the following praise for the Animation Factory Team “Our AF team is based on Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Our AF colleagues work endlessly to make Animation Factory one of the best digital content services in the world. Combined with our tech team which is based throughout the world, Jupitermedia was able to to create the new AF Pro while maintaining the already smooth operating Animation Factory. We love working with these people.”
In addition Meckler hinted in a blog post about Jupiter’s plans to consolidate all of its offering into a single online storefront with the following statement. “And sometime in 2008 when we launch the Jupiter SuperStore, AF Pro and everything else we have will be avialable on one platform. I cannot wait for the SuperStore as I have been thinking and dreaming of this product since 2003.”
