Hi there -
Just wanted to share some internal news with
you - recently we had two new employees join our growing team, and we are
thrilled to have them both on board!
Softimage Director of Product Management Bill Roberts is
a 20-year veteran of the media and entertainment industry, with over 12 years in
software development. Before joining Softimage, Bill held positions at Avid
Technology, the CTV Television Network, and, most recently, at Autodesk, where
he built and led the product management team for the Media and Entertainment
Division, introduced the first new architecture in the company’s history and
helped to grow the business by over 50%. An expert in digital film, the Digital
Intermediate Process, HDTV and the games industry, Bill is a frequent speaker on
these topics, and overall technology trends. Bill holds a Bachelors Degree from
Ryerson University in Toronto
and currently resides in Montreal.
Jeff Wilson - Senior Production Artist, Special Projects
- Based in our Venice, California office, Jeff Wilson joins the product
management team responsible for Face Robot. Jeff joins us from BLUR Studio,
where he was an Animation Supervisor, and worked on 45 minutes of animation for
Disney’s Twice Upon a Christmas and the animated short films Rockfish, In the
Rough and A Gentleman's Duel, and many 3D game cinematics, commercial spots and
feature film effects. Jeff also has extensive skills and experience working in
the 3D games industry at Cyan, Inc. (MYST), Headspin Technologies, Inc. (lead
animator and character creation), 8th Wonder Games (CG environments and
character animation). Jeff worked very closely with our product development team
on Face Robot and was invaluable in providing customer feedback and solutions as
we brought this new facial animation technology to market.
