The Society of Camera Operators (SOC) has revealed the recipients of its Technical Achievement Awards--Motion Impossible’s AGITO Remote Dolly Systems, and Cinema Devices’ Ergorig System.

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 honored 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--AGITO Remote Dolly Systems, and the Ergorig System--will be celebrated and acknowledged during the upcoming virtual 2022 Society of Camera Operators Awards Celebration on Saturday, March 5, 2022. The virtual gathering will also celebrate the nominees and winners of the Camera Operator of the Year Awards for Film and Television.
