Dragonframe receives Academy Scientific and Engineering Award
The Academy’s 2026 Scientific & Technical Awards page records a Scientific and Engineering Award to Jamie Caliri and Dyami Caliri for the design, engineering and continuing development of the Dragonframe software suite. For a stop-motion database, the significance is not only the award itself but the wording: the Academy frames Dragonframe as an integrated toolset that transformed stop-motion production by replacing fragmented, error-prone capture methods with precision workflows at scale.
This is a durable tool-history item rather than a normal software-release note. It helps document how contemporary stop-motion practice is increasingly inseparable from capture software, camera control, motion control, exposure review, and production-scale repeatability. It is also a useful source anchor for future wiki or tooling pages because the citation comes from the Academy’s own Sci-Tech awards record and names the credited developers directly.
