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

(May 23-October 8, 2006)


Logo: After a few seconds on a black background, we cut in to a white background and fades into several people wearing shirts painting the logo, which consists the word "FiRSTCUtS", which 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 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 Cantonese word 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 animation for the second half.

Music/Sounds: A man coughing, and then the men singing fastly in a weird acapella which gets more intense, along with the shining. A soft taiko note follows this.

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