Background

Focus First Cuts was a spin-off company with Focus Films Limited and Star Chinese Movies Network in 2006.

Logo (May 23-October 8, 2006)

• 

Visuals: After a few seconds on a black background, the screen cuts to a white background and fades into several people wearing red shirts painting the logo, which consists of the word "FiRSTCUtS", with each letter being set inside a black rectangle respectively, but with a white rectangle being added behind on "S" and "T". One of the people repaints the dot of the "i" into a red ring during this. After the logo is done painted, the boxes separate each other from every word, making it read "FiRST CUtS", and emits light in between the boxes and lens flare is seen shining on it. "FOCUS" from the Focus Films Limited logo then forms on the top-left, followed by a Chinese word "亞洲新星導" transitions in below. The words "The FOCUS FILMS & STAR CHINESE MOVIES NETWORK HD Project" then fade in below "FiRST CUtS".

Technique: Live-action for the first half, and 2D computer animation for the second half.

Audio: A man coughing, and then the men singing fastly in an acapella which gets more intense, along with the shining. A soft taiko note follows this.

Availability: It was only seen on Crazy Stone and I'll Call You.
