The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has revealed 11 distinct scientific and technical investigations ahead of February's annual Sci-Tech Awards.

They are:

Character dental prosthetics

On-set tools for live compositing of virtual characters and environments

In-Camera Visual Effects rendering or playback engines

LED processors for In-Camera Visual Effects

Image-based lighting for CG rendering

Heat-protective gel for stunt performer safety

Artist-friendly tools for constructing anatomical character simulation setups

Final frame post process denoisers for CG rendering

Dynamic time alignment of multiple moving microphones

Stabilised multi-camera systems for capturing wide FOV plates

Transportable six-degrees-of-freedom motion bases capable of supporting heavy loads

The deadline to submit additional entries is Thursday, September 5, at 5pm. PT. More information on the Scientific and Technical Awards is available here.

The Awards committee is thrilled to have a wide range of applicants representing innovation across our branches, said Scientific and Technical Awards Committee co-chairs Darin Grant and Raymond Yeung.

Our diverse committee of industry experts will investigate 11 areas of advancement, including character dental prosthetics, fire-protective stunt gels, and CG rendering techniques. The continued evolution of production and post-production, along with technologies that merge them, such as components of virtual production related to in-camera visual effects, highlights the evolution of motion picture workflows based on these advancements.
