Alan brought with him an unparalleled understanding of the aerial aspects of the motion picture industry, and I am proud to dedicate this award to him. In addition, I would like to extend special thanks to David Nowell, Fred North, Hans Berjno, Dylan Goss, Peter Graf, Brent Dick, David Broadhurst, Tane Coe, and to the entire SHOTOVER team who have helped make the K1 the engineering success it is.”
