Academy to Spotlight Costume Design in the Digital Age
April 17, 2009 | Levent OZLER
The opportunities and challenges facing motion picture costume designers working in the current era of digital technology will be explored at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences' program, "Costume Design in the Digital Age," on Friday, April 24, at 8 p.m. at the Linwood Dunn Theater in Hollywood.
Presented by the Academy's Science and Technology Council, the program will feature a panel of costume designers, including Oscar nominees Jeffrey Kurland and Ruth Myers as well as Ellen Mirojnick and Michael Wilkinson.
Joining the discussion will be cinematographer Daryn Okada and color scientist Joshua Pines, who won a Scientific and Technical Award for the design and development of the TDI process for creating archival separations from image data (shared with Chris Kutcka).
The evening also will feature special viewing hours of the "Dressed in Color: The Costumes" exhibition.
The exhibition, which examines the important aspects of costume design for color films from the 1940s through the 1960s, is on display through May 2.
Established in 2003 by the Academy's Board of Governors, the Science and Technology Council provides a forum for the exchange of information, promotes cooperation among diverse technological interests within the industry, sponsors publications, fosters educational activities and preserves the history of science and technology of motion pictures.
