Orad has often enlisted the services of BMP. Impressed on all fronts with BMP’s service, it was only natural for Orad to enroll BMP as its preferred creative partner. Conversely, BMP has delivered high profile projects for decades using many of the top tier real-time graphic systems, and concluded Orad is the system of choice when reputation and image is on the line.
Asked about this new groundbreaking partnership, Anton Maximovsky, CEO and President of Motion-Path had this to say: “Motion Path | Bigstudios could not ask for a better partner than Orad. We’ve participated in numerous projects together with great results. And also, after having worked on most existing real-time platforms, we realized that our best works and projects were done on the Orad platform.

We have also been really impressed with the expertise and support of the Orad team throughout our years of collaboration and we are certain this partnership will serve to strengthen our ties and help us streamline our common objectives as well as the objectives of our clients.”
