To qualify for a SOC Technical Achievement Award the technical development and the company and/or individuals must endure a rigorous judging process and review from eight SOC members during the Award Judging Day, which was hosted on January 15, 2022.

“We are truly honoured that each year the showing of technologies presented gets more and more impressive,” shared Eric Fletcher, SOC, Technical Committee Chair. “The judges have a tough job of selecting the top technical development. Whether it’s completely new, important, a lasting device or technique, or even a significant improvement on an existing equipment or product, the innovation from all the companies is truly unbelievable.”

Both recipients, Motion Impossible, AGITO Remote Dolly Systems and Cinema Devices, Ergorig System, will be celebrated and acknowledged during the upcoming virtual 2022 Society of Camera Operators Awards Celebration on Saturday, March 5, 2022.
