The RTS Innovation Awards aim to recognise outstanding achievement in the development of new technologies in distribution, production and manipulation with Axis Films nominated for an award for their 3D work.

The award categories are designed to highlight the growing interdependence of technology and content, reaching out to new users and new ways of communicating.

Jeff Henry, Chair of the RTS Innovation Awards, said: "The standard this year has been exceptionally high. The shortlist of hopefuls is a testament to the outstanding level of innovative ideas currently within the media industry."

"Technology is constantly evolving and it's down to work like this that the industry continues to move forward and push new boundaries. The importance of these prestigious awards is illustrated by the unprecedented and magnificent cross industry support, even in a challenging business environment."
