2006 Scientific and Technical Academy Awards »

Academy Award for Best Technical Achievement

Gary Thieltges

(For the design and development of the remotely-operated, lightweight camera head known as the Sparrow Head. This well-integrated remote system enables filmmakers to remotely pan and tilt their camera from virtually any moving vehicle, giving the opportunity for unprecedented dynamic camera angles.)
Academy Award for Best Technical Achievement

Frank Fletcher, Dave Sherwin

(For the introduction and continuing development of the Power Pod modular camera head system. The Power Pod system enables filmmakers to configure a remote controlled head to meet their own unique requirements.)
Academy Award for Best Technical Achievement

Alvah J. Miller, Michael Sorensen, J. Walt Adamczyk

(For the design and development of the Aerohead motion control camera head and the J-Viz Pre-Visualization system. This remote head not only serves the needs of the live-action filmmaker, but also provides the functionality of a motion-controlled head, allowing for sophisticated tiling and pre-visualization techniques.)
Academy Award for Best Technical Achievement

Scott Leva

(For the design and development of the Precision Stunt Airbag for motion picture stunt falls. The Precision Stunt Airbag is designed to envelop the stunt jumper, even on off-center hits. This feature serves to enhance the safety of stunt performers in falls from up to 200 feet.)
Academy Award for Best Technical Achievement

Lev Yevstratov, George Peters, Vasiliy Orlov

(For the development of the Ultimate Arm Camera Crane System for specialized vehicle photography. Representing a significant evolutionary improvement in camera car technology, this remotely-controlled, gyro-stabilized and flexible camera crane offers a highly stable platform for high-speed, rough terrain action shots. Its ingenious applications of sophisticated technology solve many of the problems inherent in chase vehicle filming.)
Academy Award for Best Technical Achievement

Jim Rodnunsky, Alex MacDonald, Mark Chapman

(For the development of the Cablecam 3-D volumetric suspended cable camera technologies. The evolution of the Cablecam technology has made it possible to move a camera safely and accurately anywhere through a three-dimensional space.)
Academy Award for Best Technical Achievement

Tim Drnec, Ben Britten Smith, Matt Davis

(For the development of the Spydercam 3-D volumetric suspended cable camera technologies. The evolution of the Spydercam technology has made it possible to move a camera safely and accurately anywhere through a three-dimensional space.)
Academy Award for Best Technical Achievement

John Platt, Demetri Terzopoulos

(For their pioneering work in physically-based computer-generated techniques used to simulate realistic cloth in motion pictures. Their 1987 paper Elastically Deformable Models was a milestone in computer graphics, introducing the concept of physically-based techniques to simulate moving, deforming objects.)
Academy Award for Best Technical Achievement

Edwin Catmull, Tony DeRose, Jos Stam

(For the original concept (Catmull) and the scientific and practical implementation (DeRose/Stam) of subdivision surfaces as a modeling technique in motion picture production. Subdivision surfaces have become a preferred modeling primitive for many types of motion picture computer graphics.)
Academy Award for Best Technical Achievement

Harold Rattray, Terry Claborn, Steve Garlick, Bill Hogue, Tim Reynolds

(For the design, engineering and implementation of the Technicolor Real Time Answer Print System. This system provides a method by which filmmakers can preview real-time color corrections using actual film prints, reducing both the turnaround time and the number of reprints required.)
Academy Award for Best Technical Achievement

Udo Schauss, Hildegard Ebbesmeier, Nicole Wemken, Michael Anderer

(For the optical design (Schauss/Ebbesmeier) and the mechanical design (Wemken/Anderer) of the Cinelux Premiere Cinema Projection Lenses. The Cinelux Premiere Lenses incorporate an iris and aspheric elements which provide a more uniform modulation transfer function and better light transmission to the sides and corners of the theater projection screen. This reduces the traditional problems of softness in the corners, hot-spotting and varying brightness between film formats.)
Academy Scientific and Technical Award (Scientific and Engineering award)

David Grober, Scott Lewallen

(For the concept and mechanical design (Grober) and for the electronic and software design (Lewallen) of the Perfect Horizon camera stabilization head. Perfect Horizon effectively neutralizes the extraneous motion encountered in boats, camera cars, snowmobiles or other vehicles, leaving the pan/tilt head and camera stable and level with the horizon.)
Academy Scientific and Technical Award (Scientific and Engineering award)

Anatoliy Kokush, Yuriy Popovsky, Oleksiy Zolotarov

(For the concept and development of the Russian Arm gyro-stabilized camera crane and the Flight Head. The Russian Arm and Flight Head opened new possibilities for filmmakers. With the ability to be mounted on the roof of almost any car, this remotely-operated crane and camera head can move smoothly in a 360 degree circle around the car, even while it is being driven at high speeds by actors, creating heretofore impossible perspectives.)
Academy Scientific and Technical Award (Scientific and Engineering award)

Anatoliy Kokush

(For the concept and development of the Cascade series of motion picture cranes. The lightweight structure of the Cascade and Traveling Cascade Cranes enables the filmmaker to achieve heights of up to 70 feet, allowing for the placement of the camera in otherwise impossible locations.)
Academy Scientific and Technical Award (Scientific and Engineering award)

Garrett Brown

(For the original concept of the Skycam flying camera system -- the first use of 3-D volumetric cable technology for motion picture cinematography. In creating the first remote-controlled, cable-supported flying camera system, Garrett Brown's pioneering efforts have influenced all subsequent development in this area of technology.)
Academy Scientific and Technical Award (Scientific and Engineering award)

David Baraff, Michael Kass, Andrew Witkin

(For their pioneering work in physically-based computer-generated techniques used to simulate realistic cloth in motion pictures. Their 1998 paper titled Large Steps in Cloth Simulation was a seminal work, providing the key in demonstrating to the industry that the calculations necessary to simulate realistic, complex cloth could be achieved efficiently and robustly. Their work provided the conceptual foundation for many cloth simulation systems in use today.)
Academy Scientific and Technical Award (Scientific and Engineering award)

Laurie Frost, Peter Hannan, Richard Loncraine

(For the development of the remote camera head known as the Hot-Head. In use for over a quarter of a century, the Hot-Head has brought the possibility of safe, remotely-operated shots to every filmmaker.)
John A. Bonner Medal of Commendation

Don Hall

(In appreciation for outstanding service and dedication in upholding the high standards of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.)
