Honorary Award

To David Lynch, for fearlessly breaking boundaries in pursuit of his singular cinematic vision.
Winner
To Lina Wertmüller, for her provocative disruption of political and social norms delivered with bravery through her weapon of choice: the camera lens.
To Wes Studi, in recognition of the power and craft he brings to his indelible film portrayals and for his steadfast support of the Native American community.

Scientific And Technical Award (Scientific And Engineering Award)

To DR. ZVI REZNIC, PROFESSOR MEIR FEDER, GUY DORMAN and RON YOGEV for the development of the Amimon wireless chipset, which enables untethered, high-quality on-set, encrypted digital video monitoring with sub-frame latency. By using novel extensions of digital data transmission and compression algorithms, and data prioritization based on error rate, the Amimon chipset supports the creation of systems with virtually unrestricted camera motion, expanding creative freedom during filming.
Winner
To ALEXEY LUKIN and the TEAM OF MATHEMATICIANS, SOFTWARE ENGINEERS, SOUND DESIGNERS AND PRODUCT SPECIALISTS OF IZOTOPE, INC. for the development of the RX audio processing system. Featuring spectral processing algorithms enhanced with machine learning, the iZotope RX system is widely favored by motion picture sound professionals for audio repair and enhancement.
To JEFF BLOOM, GUY McNALLY and NICK ROSE for the original concept and engineering of the Wordfit System for automatic ADR synchronization, and to JOHN ELLWOOD and JONATHAN NEWLAND for the engineering and development of VocALign and Revoice Pro. Wordfit revolutionized the process of post sync ADR by eliminating the need for manual editing to perfect lip sync. VocALign and Revoice Pro are software tools that together give sound editors unprecedented control over the final performance in replaced dialog. In use for many years, these technologies continue their predominance in the creation and seamless integration of replacement dialog tracks in motion pictures.
To NICOLAAS VERHEEM, GREG SMOKLER and ILYA ISSENIN for the development of the ruggedized Teradek Bolt wireless video transmission system for on-set remote monitoring. The Teradek Bolt system features a frame-synchronized back channel for real-time camera control, an error-resilient timecode channel and integrated production metadata, which have led to its widespread adoption in motion picture production.
To SANKEN MICROPHONE COMPANY LIMITED for the original innovation and continuous refinement of the Sanken COS-11 series of miniature lavalier microphones. Sanken's early engineering work in microphone orientation and miniaturization has inspired the current generation of lavalier microphones. The exceptional sound quality and durability of the COS-11 series have made them the predominant lavalier microphones used in motion picture production sound recording.

Scientific And Technical Award (Technical Achievement Award)

To MASATO NAKASHIMA, KOICHI UENO, JUNJI SAKUDA and JUNRO YONEMITSU for the development of the EIZO auto-calibrating SDR monitors that incorporate a built-in sensor, digital uniformity equalizer and accompanying SDK. EIZO auto-calibrating SDR monitors increase artists' confidence in facility-wide image reproduction accuracy and reduce disruptions to the creative process and production workflows. They have become indispensable for many major motion picture animation and effects facilities.
Winner
To ALEJANDRO ARANGO, GARY MARTINEZ, ROBERT DERRY and GLENN DERRY for the system design, ergonomics, engineering and workflow integration of the widely adopted Technoprops head-mounted camera system. The Technoprops head-mounted camera system, with its modular and production-proven construction, supports consistent face alignment with improved actor comfort, while at the same time permitting quick reconfiguration and minimizing downtime. This system enables repeatable, accurate and unobstructed capture of an actor's facial movements.
To BABAK BEHESHTI and SCOTT ROBITILLE for the development of the compact, stand-alone, phase-accurate genlock synchronization and recording module, and to IAN KELLY and DEJAN MOMCILOVIC for the technical direction and workflow integration, of the Standard Deviation head-mounted camera system. The Standard Deviation head-mounted camera system provides a robust method of accurate camera synchronization to the house clock. Combined with practical innovations for usability, it enables multiple head-mounted camera systems to be used in large capture volumes, resulting in adoption by numerous motion picture productions.
To CHRIS COUNTRYMAN and OMER T. INAN for their engineering of the subminiature high-performance Countryman Associates lavalier microphones. Originated by company founder Carl Countryman (1946-2006), these meticulously crafted subminiature microphones are easily concealed. Their spectral response-shaping filters, cable mounting and capsule design contribute to their wide adoption by motion picture production sound mixers.
To DON PARKER for the product vision and design, MATT DAW for the core architecture, and ISAAC REUBEN, COLIN WITHERS and NEIL BRANDT for the foundational engineering, of the Autodesk Shotgun post-production tracking system. An extensible, web-based, flexible and scalable system, Shotgun has enabled the efficient management of highly complex visual effects and animation post-production workflows. By facilitating deep integration into a wide variety of facility pipelines, Shotgun has successfully productized the tracking of complex production data on large-scale motion pictures.
To FREDRIK LIMSÄTER, BJÖRN RYDAHL and MATTIAS LAGERGREN for the design, architecture and engineering of ftrack Studio. An extensible, efficient and intuitive post-production tracking software system, ftrack Studio has enabled small and large studios alike to efficiently schedule and manage complex digital motion picture animation and visual effects.
To HAYLEY IBEN, MARK MEYER, JOHN ANDERSON and ANDREW WITKIN for the Taz Hair Simulation System. Taz is a robust, predictable and efficient mass-spring hair simulation system with novel formulations of hair shape, bending springs and hair-to-hair collisions. It has enabled Pixar artists to bring to life animated digital characters with a wide variety of stylized hair, from straight to wavy to curly.
To JENS-JØRN STOKHOLM and OLE MOESMANN for their innovative development of miniature high-performance DPA lavalier microphones. The DPA 4061 and 4071 lavalier microphones exemplify creative design, precise manufacture and meticulous quality control, resulting in consistent performance and exceptional on-set motion picture audio recording.
To KELLY WARD HAMMEL, ALEKA McADAMS, TOBY JONES, MARYANN SIMMONS and ANDY MILNE for the Walt Disney Animation Studios Hair Simulation System. The WDAS Hair Simulation System is a robust, predictable, fast and highly art-directable system built on the mathematics of discrete elastic rods. This has provided Disney artists the flexibility to manipulate hair in hyper-realistic ways to create the strong silhouettes required for character animation and has enabled a wide range of complex hairstyles in animated feature films.
To NIALL RYAN, CHRISTOPH SPRENGER and GILLES DAVIET for the Synapse Hair Simulation System. The Synapse Hair Simulation System is a robust, predictable and highly scalable position-based dynamics system with a novel inverse parameter solver. It has helped Weta Digital artists create a wide range of photorealistic digital characters and digital stunt doubles.
To STEPHEN BOWLINE for the ILM HairCraft Dynamics System. The ILM HairCraft Dynamics System has a physically robust hair-dynamics model that simulates hair by embedding curves in tetrahedral mesh volumes. Its unique spring-based control system has helped ILM artists create a wide range of photorealistic digital characters and digital stunt doubles.
To SVEN WOOP and CARSTEN BENTHIN for core development, ATTILA T. ÁFRA for motion picture feature development, and MANFRED ERNST and INGO WALD for early research and technical direction, of the Intel® Embree Ray Tracing Library. For the past decade, the Intel Embree Ray Tracing Library has provided a high-performance, industry-leading, CPU-based ray-geometry intersection framework through well-engineered open source code, supported by a comprehensive set of research publications. It has become an indispensable resource for motion picture production rendering.
