HONORARY AWARD


IRVING G. THALBERG MEMORIAL AWARD


SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNICAL AWARD (Scientific and Engineering Award)


Winner

Digital Imaging Technology

Dr. Sagar's work led to a method for transforming facial motion capture data into an expression-based, editable character animation system that has been used in motion pictures with a high volume of digital characters.

Winner

Stage Operations

The NAC System allows full-size cars, aircraft and other heavy props to be flown on wires with unprecedented freedom of motion and a high degree of safety, on-set and in real time. The intuitive control system responds to the motion of the operator's hand, permitting the recording and playback of all axes of motion simultaneously, which may be edited and refined for playback in subsequent takes.

Winner

Camera Cranes

The evolution of the Cablecam technology has made it possible to move a camera safely and accurately anywhere through a three-dimensional space.

Winner

Camera Cranes

The evolution of the Spydercam technology has made it possible to move a camera safely and accurately anywhere through a three-dimensional space.

SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNICAL AWARD (Technical Achievement Award)


Winner

Digital Imaging Technology

Mr. Ercolano's work has been influential across the industry, and has enabled scalable render farms at numerous studios.

Winner

Digital Imaging Technology

This system was the first robust, scalable, widely adopted commercial solution for queue management in the motion picture industry. Its user interface and support for multi-machine assignment influenced the design of modern day queue management tools.

Winner

Digital Imaging Technology

ObaQ has scaled from managing a few hundred processors in 1997 to many thousands today, with minimal changes to the original design.

Winner

Digital Imaging Technology

This important step in the evolution of global illumination techniques, first used on the motion picture \"Shrek 2,\" was shared with the industry in their technical paper \"An Approximate Global Illumination System for Computer Generated Films.\"
