Yesterday I was honoured to accept the Premier's Catalyst Award in the category for "Start Up Company with the Best Innovation" on behalf of Cinevate. This was presented by the Honourable Premiere of Ontario, (Dalton McGuinty) and the Honourable Minister of Research and Innovation, John Wilkinson. To say that we were humbled to be recognized is reinforced by the fact that I accepted the award surrounded by emminent doctors and researchers in the arts, humanities, medicine and biotechnology.
A special thanks goes out to Dennis Austin from the Confederation College film school who not only nominated Cinevate for this award, but also spent a great deal of time submitting the nomination package last year for consideration. To be honest, being as busy as we are, we never would have known about the award without the College's recommendation. Those who've been around dvxuser for a few years may recall that the Brevis35 and subsequently, Cinevate, had its roots right here on this forum. To demonstrate that the Canon 5D MkII is indeed capable of being a decent point and shoot in the hands of a rank amateur and senior citizen, I present some snapshots, most taken by my 67 year old father Steve Wood. I believe he's never taken a digital picture in his life
We'll included a few more nice pics from the professionals here when we get them.
