JEAN HERSHOLT HUMANITARIAN AWARD
* Jerry Lewis
GORDON E. SAWYER AWARD
* Ed Catmull
SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNICAL AWARD (Scientific and Engineering Award)
* To ERWIN MELZNER for the overall concept including the optical and cooling systems,
VOLKER SCHUMACHER for the optical design, and TIMO MÜLLER for the mechanical design, of
the Arrimax 18/12 lighting fixture for use in motion picture production. With its choice
of vari-focus and specular reflectors, the superior optical and mechanical design of this
lighting fixture allows it to operate at 18,000 watts, producing unsurpassed light quality
while its innovative cooling system keeps the housing safe to touch. [Lighting]
* To JACQUES DELACOUX for the concept and electronic design, and ALEXANDRE LEUCHTER for
the software and electronic design, of the Transvideo video-assist monitors for the motion
picture industry. Using color LCD screens, the Transvideo monitors provide flicker-free
video assist bright enough for use in sunlight and have become a ubiquitous tool in both
spherical and anamorphic cinematography. [Systems]
* To BRUNO COUMERT and JACQUES DEBIZE for the optical design, and DOMINIQUE CHERVIN and
CHRISTOPHE REBOULET for the mechanical design, of the compact and lightweight Angenieux
15-40 and 28-76 zoom lenses for handheld motion picture photography. With focus and zoom
functions that can be easily controlled by either the operator or focus puller while
filming handheld, these lightweight zoom lenses demonstrate a very high degree of
engineering, supporting both ease of use and quick interchange. [Lenses and Filters]
SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNICAL AWARD (Technical Achievement Award)
* To STEVE HYLÉN for the concept and his continued leadership in the further development
of the Hylén Lens System for motion picture effects photography. When attached to a film
or digital production camera, this versatile aerial image device can produce a wide
variety of optical effects interactively, on set and in real time without post-production
image manipulation. [Lenses and Filters]
JOHN A. BONNER MEDAL OF COMMENDATION
* To Mark Kimball in appreciation for outstanding service and dedication in upholding the
high standards of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
