With 23 years in the advertising and entertainment industry, the Advisory Board was impressed with Sharabani\u2019s contributions to advance the digital effects industry, his impressive technical skills, and his ability to push the boundaries of visual effects creation. He\u2019s regularly contributed to the Flame community, most notably his SIGGRAPH 2003 technical paper and presentation, showing off an innovative 3D rig within Flame&#8217;s Action. While\u00a0Sharabani has a remarkable portfolio, working with a diverse group of projects such as Nike, Mercedes and Kanye West, his ability to build a business on his Flame skills pushed his name to the front of the list of impressive nominees. \u201cI\u2019ve\u00a0been a proud Flame artist since 1995 and I\u2019m very humbled to accept this award\u00a0 from such unique and talented group of artists,\u201d said Sharabani. \u201cFlame is the\u00a0 foundation of my business and an invaluable part of it. From compositing to\u00a0 editing, it provides an interactive experience that is important to my artists\u00a0as well as clients. It\u2019s been an exciting journey growing my career with this\u00a0 technology and to experience its evolution. I\u2019m excited to see what will happen\u00a0 to this dynamic tool in the next 20 years.\u201d <\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong> <a class=\"asset-img-link\" href=\"\/app\/uploads\/autodesk\/6a017c3334c51a970b019aff732eae970c-pi\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"asset asset-image at-xid-6a017c3334c51a970b019aff732eae970c image-full\" title=\"Flameaward\" src=\"\/app\/uploads\/autodesk\/6a017c3334c51a970b019aff732eae970c-800wi\" alt=\"Flameaward\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a> <\/strong><em>Vico Sharabani<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a class=\"asset-img-link\" href=\"\/app\/uploads\/autodesk\/6a017c3334c51a970b019aff6dd53c970d-pi\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"asset asset-image at-xid-6a017c3334c51a970b019aff6dd53c970d image-full\" title=\"Photo (3)\" src=\"\/app\/uploads\/autodesk\/6a017c3334c51a970b019aff6dd53c970d-800wi\" alt=\"Photo (3)\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a> <em>Stig Gruman, Autodesk Vice President, Worldwide M&amp;E Sales<\/em><\/p>\n<p> Watch this video to check out how the community celebrated the\u00a0 awards at IBC: <\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At this year\u2019s International Broadcasting Convention 2013 (IBC), the Autodesk Flame community named the very first Flame Award winner, Vico Sharabani, Flame Artist, ECD and Right-Brain of The Artery VFX.
