Winner markerScientific and Technical Award (Scientific and Engineering Award). To Iain Neil for the optical design, Al Saiki for the mechanical design and Panavision International L.P. for the development of the Panavision 11:1 Primo Zoom Lens for motion picture photography.
Winner markerScientific and Technical Award (Scientific and Engineering Award). To Iain Neil for the optical design; Rick Gelbard for the mechanical design; Eric Dubberke for the engineering and Panavision International, L.P. for the development of the Primo 3:1 Zoom Lens.
Winner markerScientific and Technical Award (Technical Achievement Award). To Jim Frazier, for the design concept, and Iain Neil and Rick Gelbard for the further design and development of the Panavision/Frazier Lens System for motion picture photography.
Winner markerScientific and Technical Award (Scientific and Engineering Award). To Iain Neil for the optical design; Takuo Miyagishima for the mechanical design; and Panavision, Incorporated, for the concept and development of the Primo Series of spherical prime lenses for 35mm cinematography.
Winner markerScientific and Technical Award (Scientific and Engineering Award). To Iain Neil for the optical design, Rick Gelbard for the mechanical design, and Panavision, Inc. for the development of the Millennium Camera System viewfinder. This unique and versatile viewfinder with two independent viewing positions provides a very high-resolution video assist image, greatly enhancing its application for on-set compositing or non-linear editing.
Winner markerScientific and Technical Award (Scientific and Engineering Award). To Al Mayer, Sr. and Al Mayer, Jr., for the mechanical design, Iain Neil for the optical design and Brian Dang for the electronic design of the Panavision Millennium XL Camera System. This camera brings the full uncompromised performance of larger heavy-duty cameras to the lightest weight category with ruggedness and advanced features previously expected only in specialized or effects cameras.
Winner markerScientific and Technical Award (Scientific and Engineering Award). To Iain Neil for the concept and optical design and Al Saiki for the mechanical design of the Panavision Primo Macro Zoom Lens (PMZ). This compact, wide-angle, macro focus lens enhances and expands the picture-capturing ability, both technically and artistically, of the cinematographer. It is the first cine lens that allows macro photography while still being able to zoom.
Winner markerScientific and Technical Award (Scientific and Engineering Award). To Iain Neil for the optical design, and to Andre de Winter for the mechanical design, of the Leica Summilux-C series of lenses. Incorporating novel telecentric multi-element aspherical optics, these camera lenses have delivered unprecedented optical and mechanical performance.
Winner markerGordon E. Sawyer Award. To Iain Neil for his substantial, extensive and innovative lens designs which have had lasting impact in motion picture cinematography.
