Autodesk recognizes that the way things are made is related to the way things are designed. So even though we are primarily a design software company, we have our Pier 9 facility where employees can experience this first hand. Working on projects at Pier 9 helps put the CREATE in our IMAGINE/DESIGN/CREATE vision.
We're serious enough about this that the Office of the CTO has a handful of employees that engage in strategic innovation in a very hands-on way. They undertake projects that stretch the limits of what can be designed and fabricated using our software. Evan Atherton is a mechanical engineer in that group. Though Evan is a mechanical engineer by day, he has always wanted to be a filmmaker. So he decided to make a film on nights and weekends. As a hardcore Star Wars fan, he decided to make a movie, Artoo in Love, about R2-D2.
Artoo In Love was just chosen as an official selection for Gizmodo's Sploid Short Film festival!

It's actually a contest where Sploid takes the top 10 videos with the most likes on YouTube to the Gawker Media headquarters in NYC for a big show. Hoping you could all give the video a Like on YouTube (they reposted it to the Sploid channel, so you have to like it over there) and help spread the word!
