Since launching at IBC, Flare, a software-only 3D node-based compositing assistant, has become an integral CG pipeline solution for industry leaders and small boutique houses alike. With the full creative toolset of Autodesk Flame software, Flare affords post-production houses an integrated solution that can be deployed throughout the production process and across global pipelines. MPC, one of the world’s most successful post-production companies, with facilities in London, Los Angeles, Vancouver, New York and Bangalore, recently purchased 20 Flare licenses and distributed them between its major studios. “We worked on a promo for a dramatic remix video of the Depeche Mode song ‘Personal Jesus,’” said Bill McNamara, Creative Head of Advertising 2D at MPC London. “It was a high-profile job with lots of editorial changes. Using Flare, we were able to distribute the work between three sites. Traditionally, that work would have been scheduled during the night, but using Flame and Flare meant we were able to integrate comments and feedback more quickly and clearly, and complete the job faster.”
