Written by: The Academy of Motion Pictures, Arts and Sciences | Date:
10.02.2012 |
Beverly Hills, CA (January 11, 2012) – The
Board of Governors of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has
voted the Gordon E. Sawyer Award to
Douglas Trumbull, a visionary filmmaker
who has worked as a designer, director, inventor and entrepreneur, for his
lifetime of technical contributions and leadership in the motion picture
industry.
The award, an Oscar® statuette, will be presented to Trumbull at the
Scientific and Technical Awards presentation on Saturday, February 11, at
the Beverly Wilshire.
Trumbull has distinguished himself as a visual effects pioneer with major
contributions to such films as
"2001: A Space Odyssey"
"The Andromeda Strain," "Silent Running,"
“Close Encounters of the
Third Kind”, "Star Trek – The Motion Picture,"
Blade Runner
and "Tree of Life".
In the course of his work, Trumbull created, developed or improved numerous
filmmaking techniques and tools. These include slit-scan photography,
process photography, miniature compositing, interpositive matte painting,
large-format filming, high frame rate photography and projection,
synchronized multiscale filming, motion control photography, virtual reality
systems, interactive motion simulators and digital cinema. He has been
awarded more than a dozen related patents.
In 1975 Trumbull founded Future General Corporation, a research and special
effects house that not only served as a training ground for many leading
filmmakers and visual effects artists, but fostered several related
companies as well.
