Developers of Autodesk lustre color grading software receive academy award®
Autodesk, Inc. congratulates the original developers of Autodesk Lustre software for being honored with an Academy Award®. On February 20, 2010, Mark Jaszberenyi and software engineers Gyula Priskin and Tamas Perlaki received the award for design and development of Lustre software for digital color grading for film and television. This marks the fifth time that a technology development from Autodesk is recognized and honored by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.*

            Scientific and Engineering Awards from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences recognize achievements producing a significant influence on the advancement of the motion picture industry. Lustre helps enhance creative look development, while providing artists with greater control over final color and lighting effects in film and television projects. Lustre has helped shape the look and feel of hundreds of films, including “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button,” “Monsters vs. Aliens,” “The Da Vinci Code,” and “Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl.” 

            “Autodesk congratulates Mark Jaszberenyi, Gyula Priskin and Tamas Perlaki on their much-deserved Academy Award,” said Stig Gruman, vice president, Autodesk Digital Entertainment Group. “These are the innovative geniuses behind the earliest versions of Lustre. Today, Autodesk Lustre software is a key component of Autodesk’s Digital Entertainment Creation solutions. Customers around the world count on Lustre when realizing their creative visions, even in stereoscopic 3D.”

Autodesk has continued to innovate and support Lustre, making it the successful and widely used product it is today.” Jaszberenyi left Autodesk in 2007 to restart Colorfront, a digital intermediate and post-production company in Budapest.
