Other winners related to morphing, digital scanning and compositing.
Disney’s CAPS was the first recipient – it included 13 individuals on the award.
DIGIPRO T 8000 SOFTWARE
The 90s, of course, saw the rise of computer software awards. Then in 1970s and 80s things like high speed cameras, the Dykstraflex, bluescreen tech and computerized systems began receiving awards.
Ub Iwerks received a Technical Achievement Award for the design of an improved optical printer for special effects and matte shots in 1960. In the 1930s most awards were for sound and then in the next three decades moved towards film stock, cameras, projectors and film equipment. Roble’s own research had unearthed 782 Sci-Tech awards since 1930s (with often multiple people are listed on each award so of course). That’s why they investigate innovations in much detail prior to handing out awards. The effect of this, also, is that the Academy recognizes innovation that may be occurring across inventions by different people that may have taken place around the same time. There are no nominees – people turn up to the Awards event knowing they are winners (in contrast the room at the main Oscars progressively fills up with losers, joked Roble). Interestingly, Roble noted that unlike the main Oscars awards, the Sci-Tech Awards were not a competition. Academy Award of Merit – an Oscar statute that reflects extreme innovation and impact. Scientific and Engineering Award – a plaque where that innovation and impact is advanced.ģ. Tech Achievement Award – a certificate where there has been technical innovation, impact on the way films are made and impact on the industry itself.Ģ. Roble began by outlining the three classes of Sci-Tech awards:ġ. It was literally, says Roble, the first time there had been a talk about the Sci-Techs Awards like this. Keynote by Doug Roble, Creative Director of Software at Digital Domainĭigital Domain’s Doug Roble provided an insight into the relatively ‘secret’ Sci-Tech awards process, from submission to consideration by the awards committees. DigiPro is also more than just the presentations, since it also gives a chance for professionals to catch up with fellow industry professionals from around the world. Started just two years ago, this year was a sell-out – more than 200 people heard from their peers on subjects such as modeling tools, CG pipelines and effects tools.ĭD’s Doug Roble also gave a fascinating keynote on the Sci-Tech Awards process. Right before SIGGRAPH began was the DigiPro symposium, an all day conference of CG and visual effects professionals and academics presenting on a range of topics. DigiPro 2014 Doug Epps & Larry Cutler – two of the organizers of DigiPro Here’s a look at the opening sessions from DigiPro and also Day 1 of the SIGGRAPH conference. I heard $390.Fxguide is now in Vancouver for SIGGRAPH 2014. Not sure how that appeals to MnM users, but for people like myself with multiple live sets using different sample banks, this makes a world of difference.
