Academy 2003 Sci-Tech Award Winners
Date Correction of 2003 Awards Ceremony Date to February 14
Happy to say I worked in applying this technology to print film, and with the people receiving the award:
quote:
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.
Kinoton wins one too!:
quote:
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 unparalled shuttle speed, reversibility and acceleration this projector has set a new standard for post-production viewing as well as in traditional screening facilities.
And technology used in LOTR:
quote:
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.

Aaron asks, "How does one suggest to the Academy that someone like Brad be considered?"
Every year the Academy solicits nominations for the Sci-Tech awards. For 2003, their press release came out in late July with a deadline of 1 August and an e-mail address for submissions.
Presumably if you want something for next year's Academy Awards, you could submit it now, or could talk to the chair of the Scientific and Technical Awards committee.
Also, the structure might change a bit, since the Academy created the Science and Technology Council (not the same as the Sci-Tech Awards committee) in September. So it's probably best to ask. I'd wait until after this year's Oscars are over, though, since the impression I have is that everyone at AMPAS is really busy around this time of year, doubly so with the Oscars being early.
