The LaunchBox Project provides students with a complete mobile studio comprising of a MacBook Pro portable computer loaded with powerful software such as Apple's Final Cut Studio video production suite.
"Apple has proven over time to be a pioneer and a leader in the creative industries, making its products and solutions the obvious choice for Full Sail," said Garry Jones, President of Full Sail, in the press release. "With a MacBook Pro and powerful software such as Final Cut Studio, Project LaunchBox enables students to express unique stories digitally without limits."
Full Sail selected Apple's portables because they provide desktop performance in a thin sleek notebook design, making it ideal for intensive creative tasks involving graphics, video editing and music encoding that are the lifeblood for students interested in pursuing careers in the entertainment industry.
