Before that, studios were forced to rely on heavy optical recorders (Ryder hauled his around in an 11-ton truck). Ryder's system, which today involves recorders weighing ounces rather than tons, was first used in the film "Geronimo" and later on Rudy Vallee's television programs…. The offshoot of those experiments was an industrywide conversion to magnetic tape and Ryder's founding of his own firm in 1948, although he stayed with Paramount until 1957.""Loren L.

Scenes that had been too dangerous, expensive or difficult to film were suddenly possible...Every film since that has employed a form of the technique owes a debt to Vlahos, industry experts said...After earning a bachelor's degree in 1941 from UC Berkeley, he became a designer at Douglas Aircraft during World War II...He founded Chatsworth-based Ultimatte Corp. in 1976 to research and develop composite technology.

79. "The visual effects industry has paid tribute to Petro Vlahos - the pioneer of blue- and green-screen systems...His innovations continue to be used and developed by the television, film, computer games and advertising industries. 'Our industry has lost a giant,' Everett Burrell, senior visual effects supervisor at Los Angeles-based studio Look Effects, told the BBC. 'It's hard to even conceive of how we would do what we do without the amazing number of processes and techniques he pioneered. All visual effects professionals and movie fans owe him a debt of gratitude.' Look Effects has built on Mr Vlahos' achievements to create work for the movies Avatar, The Life of Pi and the upcoming Superman film, Man of Steel."Leo Kelion (2013-02-14). "Blue and green-screen effects pioneer Petro Vlahos dies". BBC.

He earned an Oscar statuette in 1964 for the conception and perfection of techniques for color traveling matte composite cinematography and another in 1994 for the conception and development of the Ultimatte electronic bluescreen compositing process for motion pictures. He also received a Medal of Commendation in 1992 and the Gordon E. Sawyer Award, an Oscar statuette, in 1993…every greenscreen or bluescreen shot in a vast number of films (including every recent blockbuster fantasy pic) employs variants of Vlahos’ original techniques."Variety Staff (2013-02-12).

Suddenly, string theory wasn't just an ill-fitting theory of sub-nuclear interactions. Once it included gravity, it had the potential to become a theory of all the forces and particles in the universe."K.C. Cole (1999-11-17). "How Faith in the Fringe Paid Off for One Scientist".

"Sly said his interest in discrete probability theory and its applications could be traced back to his doctoral times in Berkeley. He said he first learned about random modeling in a class at UC Berkeley — Sly later made a key discovery in constructing embeddings of random sequences, according to the MacArthur Foundation’s website. 'One thing I’d say is that a lot of the work that’s recognized in the award was while I was at Berkeley,' Sly said. 'I had very productive years both as a student and faculty.'”
