The Acad announced the four scientific and technical achievements that will be honored next month and all are related to cameras and their related hardware.
Three groups will receive Scientific and Engineering Award plaques:
- Erwin Melzner, Volker Schumacher and Timo Muller for the Arrimax 18/12 lighting fixture, an 18,000-watt fixture that remains cool enough to touch while in use;
- Jacques Delacoux and Alexandre Leuchter for the Transvideo-videoassist monitors, which the Acad says "have become a ubiquitous tool"; and
- Bruno Coumert, Jacques Debize, Dominique Chervin and Christophe Reboulet for the compact and lightweight Angenieux 15-40 and 28-76 zoom lenses for handheld motion picture photography.
Also, a Technical Achievement Award Academy certificate will go to Steve Hylen for the Hylen Lens System for movie effects photography, an aerial device that can produce optical effects interactively on set.
This year's list of honorees is shorter than those of recent years and no Academy Awards of Merit, the highest Sci-Tech honor, are slated.
The Scientific and Technical Awards banquet will be 7:30 p.m. Feb. 7 at the Beverly Wilshire in BevHills.
