The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences named the 19 achievements that will be celebrated by the Academy at the Scientific and Technical Awards Presentation Saturday, Feb. 15.
The awards will be presented separately from the Oscars, and are, indeed, awarded through a different process. The technologies honored do not need to have been invented in the year 2013 to win, rather, they need to have been proven to be vital contributions to filmmaking.
“This year’s honorees have in a myriad of ways enabled today’s moviegoing experience. Their efforts have advanced not only the art and science of motion pictures, but the work of countless global industries,” proclaimed Richard Edlund, the Scientific and Technical Awards Committee Chair, himself an Oscar-winner for his work in visual effects.

Lucasfilm has selected young software development company Tweak Software's new Rv playback application for use at all of its entities, including Industrial Light+Magic, Lucasfilm Animation, Lucasfilm Animation Singapore and LucasArts.
Rv, the first product from Tweak, is a real-time, film resolution, high-dynamic-range image and sequence viewer for Windows, Mac Os X and Linux. The application includes native support for stereoscopic 3-D.
The software was developed by Tweak Software founders Jim Hourihan, a recipient of two SciTech Academy Awards and a developer of the Dynamation particle system; and Seth Rosenthal, former Ilm motion capture supervisor.
"With Tweak's Rv, we found software that we can customize and integrate into our pipelines for film, animation and episodic production," Lucasfilm Cto Richard Kerris said. Rv will replace Loupe software at Lucasfilm.
