American Cinematographer - January 2011 - 79

HPA Honors Outstanding Achievements in Post By Jon D. Witmer The Hollywood Post Alliance recently presented its fifth annual HPA Awards, which honor outstanding achievements in post processes for features, television and commercials. The judges for the awards included ASC members Stephen Lighthill, Yuri Neyman and Daryn Okada. HPA President Leon Silverman, the general manager of Walt Disney Studios and an ASC associate member, served as the master of ceremonies at Skirball Cultural Center’s Cotsen Auditorium. He noted how the awards have grown since their inception — the Awards Committee received more submissions this year than ever before — and, after musing about the unsung importance of post professionals, he passed the baton to the evening’s presenters with the proclamation, “Get ready to be proud to be in post!” Echoing Silverman’s review of the past five years, Richard Crudo, ASC reflected on the technological evolution that has marked color correction’s recent history, marveling at the rapid changeover from the predominance of photochemical finishing to the now ubiquitous digital-intermediate process. Crudo then presented awards for Outstanding Color Grading to ASC associate Stefan Sonnenfeld of Company 3 for Alice in Wonderland (AC April ’10), Steve Porter of Riot for “Episode Five” from the miniseries The Pacific (AC March ’10), and Siggy Ferstl of Company 3 for the AT&T commercial “Legends.” Ferstl was also nominated for his work on ESPN’s Robben Island. Also nominated were Maxine Gervais of Warner Bros. Motion Picture Imaging (The Book of Eli ); ASC associate Steven J. Scott of EFilm ( Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief ); Natasha Leonnet of EFilm ( Get Low; AC Aug. ’10); Skip Kimball of Modern VideoFilm ( Avatar; AC Jan. ’10); Scott Klein of Technicolor (True Blood, “Bad Blood”); Kevin O’Connor of Deluxe Digital Media (Temple Grandin); Tim Vincent of LaserPacific ( Mad Men , “Souvenir”; AC Oct. ’09); Tom Poole of Company 3 NY (Dos Equis, “Ice Fishing”; Dos Equis, “Cliff Diver”); Dave Hussey of Company 3 (Chevy, “We Can Carry”); and
