There’s never been a better time to have a story you want to tell. Not because storytelling got easy. It didn’t. Building a world. Animating a performance. Getting a shot right on set. Learning a complicated piece of software. All of it still takes real craftsmanship. But it’s starting to take a little less of something else: the years, and…

Anyone who works in production knows the problem: you remember the shot, but not its filename, folder, camera roll, or metadata. As productions generate more media, simply finding the right moment can become a workflow of its own. Autodesk Flow Capture’s Smart Search and Actions (Tech Preview) uses AI video indexing to help production teams…

Starting an animation studio at 22 is ambitious anywhere. Doing it in Colombia, far from the industry’s traditional production hubs, adds another layer to the challenge.

That question sits at the heart of UMBRAL, a cinematic architectural visualization experiment by Didier Ramírez, created using 3D Editor + Canvas in Autodesk Flow…

The director calls “cut” on a scene that took hours to set up. Rain machines are running. The location permit expires at sunset. The cast and crew are scheduled to move to another set before lunch. Years ago, everyone would have waited. Footage would be backed up, delivered to editorial, and reviewed later that night…

AI has made it easier than ever to generate compelling assets. In just a few prompts, you can create characters, environments, animations, and more. But generating assets is only the beginning. Turning those pieces into cohesive scenes — shaping performances, directing camera movement, and refining the final shot — too often means jumping between disconnected…
