Samsung Micro-Miracles
Award: Wood Pencil
Wood Pencil / Visual Effects / Practical Effects / 2024
A film that showcases the wonders of semiconductors, made at the same astonishingly small scale as semiconductor technology. It features dioramas depicting scenes semiconductors make possible, that were less than 0.3mm high, with detailing at nanoscopic level. Since these details were smaller than the wavelength of visible light, they couldn’t be captured with an optical camera. So, in a world first in filmmaking, this film was “shot” using a one of a kind Scanning Electron Microscope.
