The International Cinematographers Guild (ICG, IATSE Local 600) has announced the recipients of special awards as part of the ICG's Emerging Cinematographer Awards (ECA). The special awards will be presented during the ECA opening event at the American Society of Cinematographers Clubhouse in Los Angeles on September 26. The 18th annual Emerging Cinematographer Awards ceremony will be held at the Directors Guild of America Theater on September 28, where actress Stefanie Powers will be a guest speaker.
The Canon Award for Excellence in Cinematography Technology will be presented to Codex. The company designs and manufactures high-end digital equipment for motion picture and television production, including the Codex Onboard S and Codex Onboard M recorders which enable the Canon EOS C500 to capture 4K Cinema RAW at up to 120 fps. Marc Dando, President of Codex, will accept the award on the company's behalf.

The Technicolor Cinematography Journalist of the Year will be presented to John Bailey, ASC. He is known for his cinematography on Groundhog Day and As Good As It Gets. He was cinematographer for two 2014 movies, The Angriest Man in Brooklyn, starring the late Robin Williams, and The Forger, starring John Travolta. A Walk in the Woods, starring Robert Redford and Emma Thompson, is in post production. Panavisions AWZ2, an anamorphic wide-angle zoom lens, is nicknamed the Bailey zoom because Bailey was among the first cinematographers to ask the company to develop such a lens.
