The Oscars are a night to celebrate the biggest names in Hollywood, so we’re thrilled to celebrate the design and technology from Autodesk that makes this magic possible in such a fun and creative way. “Autodesk is how the world gets designed and made-including the beautiful films that delight and inspire us all. Ryan Reynolds joked about the campaign, “Autodesk has been a secret weapon for Hollywood’s artists for decades, and what better way to highlight that than to create a fake man of vaguely Germanic descent to receive an award that doesn’t exist?” The full documentary style ad can be found here. “Otto Desć” is actually Autodesk, which provides the software technology that allows Hollywood’s elite creatives and innovators - as well as architects, engineers, students and more–to make anything. The true Otto Desć is finally revealed in the third and final spot.


Elizabeth Banks is featured in the three-part ad series that ran during the Academy Awards.Ī second spot gives viewers a look inside the impact that the mysterious Otto has made on Hollywood peers including Writer/Director Elizabeth Banks ( Cocaine Bear, Pitch Perfect, and Reynolds’ Definitely, Maybe Co-Star), Actor Ron Perlman ( Hellboy, Beauty & The Beast, Sons of Anarchy ), Academy Award ® winning VFX Supervisor Paul Lambert ( Dune, Blade Runner ), and Academy Award nominated Cinematographer Mandy Walker ( Elvis).
