| Thomas Santorelli | Long Island Film Festival Creates Pioneer Film Awards
Signed on: Sun 01 Aug 2010 16:58:34 MDT
The Long Island Film Festival has created awards named after pioneers and other industry notables of American cinema who have made major contributions to the industry while living on Long Island. Many of the early pioneers lived in the Bay Shore-Brightwaters area and worked out of the Vitagraph branch studio located at 94 Fourth Avenue, Bay Shore in 1916.
The subjects of the awards stretch from the silent era to contemporary industry contributors with a Long Island connection. Along with presentations named after early pioneers, notables such as Mario Puzo a long time resident of Bay Shore and John Williams, born on Long Island will also be subjects of the awards that will be presented starting this year.
Thomas Santorelli, Long Island Film Festival’s Vice President is a historian of early American cinema and was involved in the renovation of the Vitagraph building in 2004-2005. The studio was converted to loft apartments and the project was completed in 2006.
Ralph Ince, one of Vitagraph’s top directors had a home built in Brightwaters and was head of the Bay Shore branch studio in 1916. Ince is best remembered today as Diamond Pete Montana, the gangster that (Rico) Caesar Enrico Bandello (Edward G. Robinson) looked up to in the grandfather of the modern crime film, Little Caesar (1930).
The awards will be in the category of actors for both male and female, directors, both male and female, cinematography, screenplay, film scoring and a Shelly Award for Woman Filmmakers created by LIFF founder, Christpher Cooke and named after Adrienne Shelly, who was born in Jericho and died in New York City in 2006.

Discover the benefit of using cgi, color grading and compositing with a critical eye - how to plan for a successful effects shot and when to go au naturale instead of relying on post production to save your production.
Programs like After Effects and Apple Color (as well as other low cost post production solutions) have made it easy to clean up the mistakes we make while shooting on a budget - but are we sacrificing production quality as a result? Music videos and short form specifically can both benefit and be hurt by this.
Learn when to use CGI/POST effects and when not to
