Pipeline Efficiency, Creative Innovation and Interoperability Core to All Releases

Autodesk, Inc. announced new releases of the company’s digital entertainment creation software and middleware. The 2012 versions enable iterative workflows, help users manage complexity and provide new creative tools. Autodesk products have been used to create popular movies like “Black Swan,” chart-topping video games such as “Medal of Honor,” primetime television commercials like the “Bridgestone ‘Carma’” Super Bowl ad and hit television shows such as “Glee.”

"Movie, video game and television audiences are demanding more sophisticated content, which is causing production complexity to outpace budgets," said Marc Petit, Autodesk senior vice president, Media & Entertainment. “To remain competitive, studios must improve production efficiency and maximize their creative capabilities.”

Commercial production company Motion Theory announces that filmmaker Guillermo del Toro will be helming commercials as the newest director on the Motion Theory roster.

Del Toro joins a slate of creative talent that includes Mathew Cullen, Grady Hall, Jesus de Francisco, Mark Kudsi, Kaan Atilla, Chris Riehl, Syyn Labs and Christopher Leone.
