Check out Giant Octopus. They have some really nice stuff, and the front page of their website says HD Ready

Yes, I know all about Giant Octopus. That is our current package. Unfortunately, that is where our competitor went after us and they got much of our look, even the same fonts. After all that money we spent it didn’t sit well with the GM.

If you’re familiar with Digital Juice’s Editors Workship sets you know you can create your own for HD from their HD Jump Backs. There are 10 in the series.
They have a wide variety to choose from.

I’ll second the recommendation for HothausCreative.

We are a production company, have been hired by Hothaus on occassion to shoot talent etc., for use in news opens and such that they have designed.

I’ve been pretty impressed with the looks they have created. Ask for Jon Fox or Terry Hart.

We’re expecting our first elements from Giant Octopus soon…what should we expect them to send us?

Do they send any modifiable pieces (to be used in After Effects)?

What if we need other elements later (special weather stuff/talent re-opens, etc)…
