Additional honors were presented to previously announced recipients of the Lifetime Achievement Award, Distinguished Service Award, Historical Shot, Technical Achievement Award and President's Award during the black-tie event in Herscher Hall at the Skirball Cultural Center. The event took place before an audience of 500, including SOC and International Cinematographer Guild (ICG) members, industry executives and press. SOC Vice President and Awards Executive Producer David Frederick, SOC, presided over the event with emcee Bruce Carse. All proceeds from the show are donated to the Vision Center at Children's Hospital Los Angeles. The honor was accepted by Dr. Thomas Lee, Director of the Retinal Center.
A special In Memoriam tribute to Sarah Jones, the 27-year-old assistant camerawoman killed by a train while filming Midnight Rider on February 20, was included in the evening's events. David Frederick, former SOC President Dan Kneece and SOC Vice President Mark August presented an honorary associate membership certificate to Jones' parents, Richard and Elizabeth, to a standing ovation.
Lifetime Achievement Award recipients included Chris Haarhoff, SOC, Camera Operator, presented by Colin Anderson; Bill Coe, Camera Technician, presented by Steve Campanelli; Barry Wetcher, SMPSP, Still Photographer, presented by Will Gluck; Jack Carpenter, Mobile Camera Platform Operator, presented by Duncan Henderson.

In Memoriam Tribute to Sarah Jones:
The Society of Camera Operators (SOC) added a special In Memoriam tribute to Sarah Jones, the 27-year-old assistant camerawoman killed by a train while filming Midnight Rider. As several members of the SOC had contact with Sarah during her career, the event organizers felt the special segment was an essential addition to the event attended by a wide range of industry professionals. "The SOC considers Sarah one of our own and will be including her as an Associate Member based on her work to date. Her loss will be an inspiration to the production community for safety on the set at all times," said David Frederick, SOC awards chairman. "The segment celebrates her joy of life and work as we witness the outpouring of support on social media from her 'set families,' including the Slates For Sarah Facebook page with over 65,000 likes and growing every day," he continued. A special Pledge to Sarah page has been created to inspire safety awareness for all camera operators on set.
