Vancouver, BC., Canada (May 24, 2000) -- Totally Hip Software (CDNX:THW) today announced that the recently released 'Shaft' full-screen broadband/DSL QuickTime
movie trailer from Paramount Pictures was created by Apple Computer (AAPL:NASDAQ) in conjunction with Paramount Pictures using Totally Hip's multiple award
winning LiveStage Professional QuickTime Authoring Software. The Shaft full screen movie trailer site on Apple's QuickTime TV Movie Trailer site allows visitors to select
a QuickTime viewing experience to match their Internet connection from full-screen broadband to dial-up modem speeds.

Starring Samuel L. Jackson in the starring role and John Singleton directing, "Shaft" is a new approach to one of the great film icons of the 1970s. He's tough, he's
smart, he's cool - and so is the full screen QuickTime movie-trailer. Visit the Apple QuickTime Movie Trailer site to see Samuel L. Jackson in "Shaft," a Paramount
Pictures presentation of a Scott Rudin/New Deal Production in full screen only in QuickTime at: http://www.apple.com/trailers/paramount/shaft/

In the past two months LiveStage Professional was used in the creation of New Line Cinema's record breaking release of the 'Lord of the Rings' full-screen QuickTime
movie trailer, 20th Century Fox's extremely popular 'X-Men-The Movie' full-screen QuickTime movie trailer, and Paramount Pictures 'Mission Impossible 2' full-Screen
QuickTime movie trailer. Many more QuickTime movie trailers will be developed over the next few months using LiveStage Professional and a number of these movie
trailers will be delivered in full-screen.

"The major Motion Picture Studios and major Web portals such as Apple Computer have been able to develop and deliver broadband/DSL enabled QuickTime movie
