Meet Beverly Wood, an innovator in color technologies for major motion pictures. She began working as an analytical chemist in the early 1980s before moving from the east coast of the U.S. to the west coast—a move which greatly influenced the trajectory her work. Her specialized knowledge of chemistry, engineering, and filmmaking led to her award-winning contributions to the creation and development of Color Contrast Enhancement (CCE) and Adjustable Contrast Enhancement (ACE) motion picture processes.
During this live online interview, you will be inspired by the story of Wood's career, guiding cinematographers through the transition from chemical to digital technology, which changed how we see films today.
About Innovative Lives:
The 2023 Innovative Lives program series will focus on the theme of "Places of Invention" to celebrate the Lemelson Center's award-winning exhibition, which will close at the National Museum of American History in late summer 2023. What are the aspects of "place"—including geography, resources, talent, and community support—that stimulate creative minds and spark a surge of invention and innovation?
All Innovative Lives talks will be moderated by a host who will facilitate a Q&A session following the presentation. Attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions and engage in a dialogue with the speaker, enabling a deeper understanding of their process and work. We invite curious minds of all ages to register for these free programs. Live captioning is available for online programs, and ASL interpreters are provided for in-person programs.
