Award announcements are the meat and potatoes of our sector, but they can lead to some fascinating stories.
The Lumiere Awards (not the French ones) are presented by The Advanced Imaging Society, a coalition of Hollywood studios and technical groups, to reward the use of innovative acronymic technology like VR, HDR, AI, Real Time Rendering etc.
In the list of 23 awards this year, is a line item for Save This Rhino, a two part documentary made by Australians Michael Lawrence and Nick Cook, who shot to fame with surfing culture film Bra Boys, which they produced with Sunny Abberton in 2007.
