2010 Scientific and Technical Academy Awards »
Academy Award for Best Technical AchievementMark Wolforth, Tony Sedivy(For their contributions to the development of the Truelight real-time 3D look-up table hardware system. Through the use of color management software and hardware, this complete system enables accurate color presentation in the digital intermediate preview process. The Truelight system is widely utilized in digital intermediate production environments around the world.) |
Academy Award for Best Technical AchievementKlaus Anderle, Christian Baeker, Frank Billasch(For their contributions to the LUTher 3D look-up table hardware device and color management software. The LUTher system was one of the first color look-up table processors to be widely adopted by the pioneering digital intermediate facilities in the industry. This innovation enabled accurate color presentation by facilities that had analyzed projected film output and built 3D look-up tables in order to emulate print film.) |
Academy Award for Best Technical AchievementSteve Sullivan, Kevin Wooley, Brett Allen, Colin Davidson(For the development of the Imocap on-set performance capture system. Developed at Industrial Light & Magic and consisting of custom hardware and software, Imocap is an innovative system that successfully addresses the need for on-set, low-impact performance capture.) |
Academy Award for Best Technical AchievementHayden Landis, Ken McGaugh, Hilmar Koch(For advancing the technique of ambient occlusion rendering. Ambient occlusion has enabled a new level of realism in synthesized imagery and has become a standard tool for computer graphics lighting in motion pictures.) |
Academy Award for Best Technical AchievementBjorn Heden(For the design and mechanical engineering of the silent, two-stage planetary friction drive Hedén Lens Motors. Solving a series of problems with one integrated mechanism, this device had an immediate and significant impact on the motion picture industry.) |
Academy Scientific and Technical Award (Scientific and Engineering award)Per Christensen, Michael Bunnell, Christophe Hery(For the development of point-based rendering for indirect illumination and ambient occlusion. Much faster than previous ray-traced methods, this computer graphics technique has enabled color bleeding effects and realistic shadows for complex scenes in motion pictures.) |
Academy Scientific and Technical Award (Scientific and Engineering award)Richard Kirk(For the overall design and development of the Truelight real-time 3D look-up table hardware device and color management software. Through the use of color management software and hardware, this complete system enables accurate color presentation in the digital intermediate preview process. The Truelight system is widely utilized in digital intermediate production environments around the world.) |
Academy Scientific and Technical Award (Scientific and Engineering award)Volker Massmann, Markus Hasenzahl, Klaus Anderle, Andreas Loew(For the development of the Spirit 4K/2K film scanning system as used in the digital intermediate process for motion pictures. The Spirit 4K/2K has distinguished itself by incorporating a continuous-motion transport mechanism enabling full-range, high-resolution scanning at much higher frame rates than non-continuous transport scanners.) |
Academy Scientific and Technical Award (Scientific and Engineering award)Michael Cieslinski, Reimar Lenz , Bernd Brauner(For the development of the ARRISCAN film scanner, enabling high-resolution, high-dynamic range, pin-registered film scanning for use in the digital intermediate process. The ARRISCAN film scanner utilizes a specially designed CMOS array sensor mounted on a micro-positioning platform and a custom LED light source. Capture of the film's full dynamic range at various scan resolutions is implemented through sub-pixel offsets of the sensor along with multiple exposures of each frame.) |
Academy Scientific and Technical Award (Scientific and Engineering award)Wolfgang Lempp, Theo Wade Brown, Tony Sedivy, John Quartel(For the development of the Northlight film scanner, which enables high-resolution, pin-registered scanning in the motion picture digital intermediate process. Developed for the digital intermediate and motion picture visual effects markets, the Northlight scanner was designed with a 6K CCD sensor, making it unique in its ability to produce high-resolution scans of 35mm, 8-perf film frames.) |
Academy Scientific and Technical Award (Scientific and Engineering award)Steve Chapman, James Logie, Darrin Smart, Martin Tlaskal(For their contributions to the development of the Baselight color correction system, which enables real-time digital manipulation of motion picture imagery during the digital intermediate process. Baselight was one of the first digital color correction systems to enter the digital intermediate market and has seen wide acceptance in the motion picture industry.) |
Academy Scientific and Technical Award (Scientific and Engineering award)Mark Jaszberenyi, Gyula Priskin, Tamas Perlaki(For their contributions to the development of the Lustre color correction system, which enables real-time digital manipulation of motion picture imagery during the digital intermediate process. Lustre is a software solution that enables non-linear, real-time digital color grading across an entire feature film, emulating the photochemical color-timing process.) |
Academy Scientific and Technical Award (Scientific and Engineering award)Brad Walker, D. Scott Dewald, Bill Werner, Greg Pettitt(For their contributions furthering the design and refinement of the Texas Instruments DLP Projector technology, achieving a level of performance that enabled color-accurate digital intermediate previews of motion pictures. Working in conjunction with the film industry, Texas Instruments created a high-resolution, color-accurate, high-quality digital intermediate projection system that could closely emulate film-based projection in a theatrical environment.) |
Academy Scientific and Technical Award (Scientific and Engineering award)Fujifilm, Ryoji Nishimura, Masaaki Miki , Youichi Hosoya(For the design and development of Fujicolor ETERNA-RDI digital intermediate film, which was designed exclusively to reproduce motion picture digital masters. The Fujicolor ETERNA-RDI Type 8511/4511 digital intermediate film has thinner emulsion layers with extremely efficient couplers made possible by Super-Nano Cubic Grain Technology. This invention allows improved color sensitivity with the ability to absorb scattered light, providing extremely sharp images. The ETERNA-RDI emulsion technology also achieves less color cross-talk for exacting reproduction. Its expanded latitude and linearity provides superior highlights and shadows in a film stock with exceptional latent image stability.) |
Academy Scientific and Technical Award (Scientific and Engineering award)Paul Debevec, Tim Hawkins, John Monos, Mark Sagar(For the design and engineering of the Light Stage capture devices and the image-based facial rendering system developed for character relighting in motion pictures. The combination of these systems, with their ability to capture high fidelity reflectance data of human subjects, allows for the creation of photorealistic digital faces as they would appear in any lighting condition.) |
