The E-spaces / CG4TV team has won 1st Prize for Special Effects

BREAKING NEWS: The E-spaces / CG4TV team of 3D animators, led by Philippe Van Nedervelde, has won the "1st Prize for Special Effects" at the Breckenridge Film Festival for our work on the movie "The Singularity Is Near" which is the movie version of Ray Kurzweil's book with the same title. We share this prize with the team around Tony Hudson who... worked on the fictional narrative thread of the movie.

In front of a packed audience, the movie's director Anthony Waller accepted the prize on our behalf.

At the same festival, the movie also won 2nd Prize for the most popular movie in the form of The Audience Prize (three awards in this category were awarded). This prize category was the result of members of the audience filling out ballots, on which voters had to list 3 films in their order of preference.

Over 300 movies had been submitted to the festival, and only 52 were selected to compete for which the audience vote was eligible. The movie might have had an even more successful result had the ballot sheets been handed out to the audience members as they left the theater, as nobody was made aware of the possibility of voting for our movie at the time. So that 2nd prize for the most popular movie ('The Audience Prize') was not a bad result either within that category.
