WORLD: With all eyes in the world of cinema on the upcoming 89th Academy Awards (The Oscars), Lectrosonics has announced that its engineers David Thomas, David Bundy and Lawrence Fisher will receive a 2017 Academy Award for Technical Achievement. The honour is in recognition of the design, development and engineering that went into producing the manufacturer’s Digital Hybrid Wireless microphone system and the impact it has made to the process of making motion pictures.
‘We are so delighted to see our engineers receive this honour,’ enthused Gordon Moore, CTS, president of Lectrosonics. ‘These three engineers have made significant contributions to location sound, enhancing the movie experience. To see their accomplishments recognised by the Academy is truly exciting.’
The Academy’s Science and Technical Achievement Awards take place on Saturday 11th February at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel in Beverly Hills, California. Candidates for Scientific and Technical Awards need not necessarily have been developed and released during the last calendar year, unlike the awards in the traditional film categories. Rather, these awards are in recognition of technology with a proven track record of ‘contributing significant value’ to the film industry.
