Framestore | Josh Bainbridge and Nathan Walster | 2026 Sci-Tech Awards

Sofia Carson presents a Technical Achievement Award to Josh Bainbridge and Nathan Walster for the design, architecture and engineering of the layered shading system at Framestore. Framestore’s layered shading system was among the first to enable its users to generate novel, realistic appearances in a modular workflow by combining material layers in a physically plausible fashion. Its development has enabled Framestore to deliver diverse looks across a broad creative catalog of filmmakers’ requirements. The 2026 Sci-Tech Awards took place at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures on April 28th, 2026.
