HONORARY AWARD
* To Andrzej Wajda in recognition of five decades of extraordinary film direction.
GORDON E. SAWYER AWARD
* Roderick T. Ryan
SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNICAL AWARD (Scientific and Engineering Award)
* To NICK PHILLIPS for the design and development of the three-axis Libra III remote
control camera head. The Libra III head can accept a range of film cameras and their
lenses and allows the operator to add stabilization to each axis for medium focal length
lenses. Motion capture and playback are also selectable features. [Stage Operations]
* To FRITZ GABRIEL BAUER for the concept, design and engineering of the Moviecam
Superlight 35mm Motion Picture Camera. The quiet Moviecam Superlight is an extremely small
and light 35mm professional motion picture sound camera which allows the cinematographer
to film in ways and situations that were never before possible. [Camera]
* To IAIN NEIL for the optical design, RICK GELBARD for the mechanical design, and
PANAVISION, INC. for the development of the Millennium Camera System viewfinder. This
unique and versatile viewfinder with two independent viewing positions provides a very
high-resolution video assist image, greatly enhancing its application for on-set
compositing or non-linear editing. [Camera]
* To HUW GWILYM, KARL LYNCH and MARK V. CRABTREE for the design and development of the AMS
Neve Logic Digital Film Console for motion picture sound mixing. This console allows the
user multi-position mixing capabilities, stem routing predub inputs and other filmcentric
attributes. This is the first fully digital audio mixing console specifically designed for
post-production film mixing. [Sound]
* To JAMES MOULTRIE for the mechanical design, and to MIKE SALTER and MARK CRAIG GERCHMAN
for the optical design of the Cooke S4 Range of Fixed Focal Length Lenses for 35mm motion
picture photography. These state-of-the-art fixed focal length 35mm lenses are the result
of intense efforts to meet industry requirements in several areas. Providing superior
performance in several cinematographic aspects, these lenses include a unique linear focus
system. [Lenses and Filters]
* To MARLOWE A. PICHEL for development of the process for manufacturing Electro-formed
Metal Reflectors which, when combined with the DC Short Arc Xenon Lamp, became the
worldwide standard for motion picture projection systems. The impact of the Electro-formed
Metal Reflector over the decades has completely changed the presentation side of the
motion picture industry allowing the replacement of the carbon arc light source and the
implementation of automated projection systems. [Projection]
* To L. RON SCHMIDT for the concept, design and engineering of the Linear Loop Film
Projectors. These radically new motion picture film projectors provide superior print
handling, image steadiness, screen illumination and enhanced viewer experience by means of
an extremely simple air-driven mechanical transport system. [Projection]
* To NAT TIFFEN of Tiffen Manufacturing Corporation for the production of high-quality,
durable, laminated color filters for motion picture photography. Materials of uniform
color characteristics are implanted between layers of optical glass and bonded together
under extremes of heat and pressure. The outer surfaces are ground and polished to
specified close tolerances, free of distortion and resistant to changes in temperature or
humidity, then bound with a protective metal ring. [Lenses and Filters]
SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNICAL AWARD (Technical Achievement Award)
* To VIVIENNE DYER and CHRIS WOOLF for the design and development of the Rycote Microphone
Windshield Modular System. Designed to eliminate physical acoustical rumble and to mask a
microphone's high sensitivity to wind and other unwanted noises, the lightweight and
rugged Rycote Microphone Windshields accomplish these tasks without altering or impairing
the original frequency response of the microphone. [Sound]
* To LESLIE DREVER for the design and development of the Light Wave microphone windscreens
and isolation mounts from Light Wave Systems. Designed to eliminate physical acoustical
rumble and to cover a microphone's high sensitivity to wind and other unwanted noises, the
Light Wave Systems line of shock mounts and windscreens accomplish these tasks without
altering or impairing the original frequency response of the microphone. [Sound]
* To RICHARD C. SEHLIN for the concept, and DR. MITCHELL J. BOGDANOWICZ and MARY L.
SCHMOEGER of the Eastman Kodak Company for the design and development of the Eastman
Lamphouse Modification Filters. The ELM Filters enable a laboratory to achieve additive
printer contrast and color reproduction using a subtractive lamphouse. [Lenses and
Filters]
* To HOYT H. YEATMAN, JR. of Dream Quest Images and JOHN C. BREWER of the Eastman Kodak
Company for the identification and diagnosis leading to the elimination of the 'red
fringe' artifact in traveling matte composite photography. The elimination of the 'red
fringe' artifact in traveling matte composite photography obviates expensive additional
computerized image processing thus reducing the time involved in producing a seamless and
convincing composite shot. [Laboratory]
AWARD OF COMMENDATION
* To FPC, Incorporated, under the leadership of Barry M. Stultz and Milton Jan Friedman,
for the development and implementation of an environmentally responsible program to
recycle or destroy discarded motion picture prints.
JOHN A. BONNER MEDAL OF COMMENDATION
