Cottalango Leon, a 44-year old technician from Tamilnadu,India has been chosen by the Oscars for scientific and technological achievement. His work towards a collaborative tool for 8 years in Sony Imageworks has been recognized under design, engineering and continuous development by the jury.
Titled “Itview”, this tool is used to review cinema segments whenever needed, which makes it easy for movie artists. He stated that the tool was preferred by many despite the many commercial softwares available in the market. Unlike regular academy awards, winners under this cadre will be presented only with a certificate.
It’s a proud moment for us, the Tamilians that a man born in Thoothukudi and raised in Coimbatore is making the world laud him. He has also worked in a number of popular films like the Spiderman series, Cloudy with a chance of Meatballs and Men in Black franchise to name some.
Here’s Behindwoods congratulating him on his great feat!
