HONORARY AWARD
* To Blake Edwards in recognition of his writing, directing and producing an extraordinary
body of work for the screen.
GORDON E. SAWYER AWARD
* Peter D. Parks
SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNICAL AWARD (Academy Award of Merit)
* To DIGIDESIGN for the design, development and implementation of the Pro Tools® digital
audio workstation. The efficient algorithms, extensible architecture and intuitive
interface have enabled Pro Tools to become the worldwide standard for the creation and
editing of motion picture soundtracks. [Sound]
* To BILL TONDREAU of Kuper Controls for his significant advancements in the field of
motion control technology for motion picture visual effects. Measuring his valuable
contributions to the invention and implementation of robotic camera systems in decades
rather than years, his efforts have aided motion control in becoming a core technology
that has supported the renaissance of visual effects. [Systems]
SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNICAL AWARD (Scientific and Engineering Award)
* To KINOTON GmbH for the engineering and development of the Kinoton FP 30/38 EC II Studio
Projector. This high-speed studio projector produces an image quality equal to projectors
with Geneva movements. With its unparalleled shuttle speed, reversibility and
acceleration, this projector has set a new standard for post-production viewing as well as
in traditional screening facilities. [Projection]
* To KENNETH L. TINGLER, CHARLES C. ANDERSON, DIANE E. KESTNER and BRIAN A. SCHELL of the
Eastman Kodak Company for the successful development of a process-surviving antistatic
layer technology for motion picture film. This technology successfully controls the static
charge buildup on processed intermediate and sound negative films during high speed
printing operations. [Laboratory]
* To CHRISTOPHER ALFRED, ANDREW J. CANNON, MICHAEL C. CARLOS, MARK CRABTREE, CHUCK
GRINDSTAFF and JOHN MELANSON for their significant contributions to the evolution of
digital audio editing for motion picture post production. Through their respective
pioneering efforts with AMS AudioFile, Waveframe and Fairlight, the work of these
gentlemen contributed significantly to the development and realization of digital audio
workstations with full editing capabilities for motion picture soundtracks. [Digital
Imaging Technology]
* To STEPHEN REGELOUS for the design and development of Massive, the autonomous agent
animation system used for the battle sequences in 'The Lord of the Rings' trilogy. Massive
takes a new approach in simulating behaviors of large numbers of computer-generated extras
a.k.a. "agents." Each "agent" contains a primitive software
"brain" used to develop behavioral rules simulating a wide range of behaviors.
In 'The Lord of the Rings' trilogy, over 200,000 agents were controlled in several scenes.
[Digital Imaging Technology]
SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNICAL AWARD (Technical Achievement Award)
* To KISH SADHVANI for the concept and optical design, PAUL DUCLOS for the practical
realization and production engineering and CARL PERNICONE for the mechanical design and
engineering of the portable cine viewfinder system known as the Ultimate Director's Finder
(UDF). This versatile, modular and widely accepted cine viewfinder system is capable of
properly displaying images in multiple formats ranging from 35mm anamorphic to super 16.
[Photography]
* To HENRIK WANN JENSEN, STEPHEN R. MARSCHNER and PAT HANRAHAN for their pioneering
research in simulating subsurface scattering of light in translucent materials as
presented in their paper "A Practical Model for Subsurface Light Transport."
This mathematical model contributed substantially to the development and implementation of
practical techniques for simulating subsurface scattering of light in translucent
materials for computer-generated images in motion pictures. [Digital Imaging Technology]
* To CHRISTOPHE HERY, KEN McGAUGH and JOE LETTERI for their groundbreaking implementations
of practical methods for rendering skin and other translucent materials using subsurface
scattering techniques. These groundbreaking techniques were used to create
realistic-looking skin on digitally created characters. [Digital Imaging Technology]
JOHN A. BONNER MEDAL OF COMMENDATION
* To Douglas Greenfield in appreciation for outstanding service and dedication in
upholding the high standards of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
