Biography
Linwood G. Dunn (1904-1998) was born in Brooklyn, New York. In 1923, he worked as a projectionist in New York City for the
American Motion Picture Corporation. In 1925, he began working as an assistant cameraman for his uncle Spencer Gordon Bennet
on the Pathé serial THE GREEN ARCHER (1925) and continued working on serials including SNOWED IN (1926) and HAWK OF THE HILLS
(1927) until becoming first cameraman on the Pathé serial QUEEN OF THE NORTHWOODS (1929). After Pathé ran into financial difficulties,
Dunn freelanced for a period during which he served as an extra cameraman on FLIGHT (1929) and HELL'S ANGELS (1930). In 1929,
Howard Hurd offered Dunn a position as assistant cameraman at the newly-formed Photographic Effects Department at RKO where
he would remain until 1957. During this time, Dunn worked in various capacities on the creation of the RKO logo, and films
such as THE CASE OF SERGEANT GRISCHA (1930), DANGER LIGHTS (1930), CIMARRON (1931), THE PHANTOM OF CRESTWOOOD (1932), ACES
OF ACES (1933), FLYING DOWN TO RIO (1933), KING KONG (1933), CITIZEN KANE (1941), CAT PEOPLE (1942), RINGSIDE (1949), MIGHTY
JOE YOUNG (1949), THE THING (1951), and THE NARROW MARGIN (1953).
In 1942, Eastman Kodak commissioned Dunn to work on an optical printer for the Armed Forces Photographic Unit. By 1944, Dunn
and Cecil Love, along with Acme Tool Manufacturing Company, invented the Acme-Dunn Optical Printer which became the standard
printer used in the industry. For their efforts they received a technical award from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and
Sciences. In 1957, Dunn expanded his special effects company Film Effects of Hollywood which was originally founded in 1946.
His company created special effects for WEST SIDE STORY (1961), IT'S A MAD, MAD, MAD, MAD WORLD (1963), THE GREAT RACE (1965),
HAWAII (1966), and AIRPORT (1970). The company worked on the opening sequence and other special effects for
STAR
TREK
(1966-1969) as well as films for world fairs. He sold the company in the 1980s. During the 1970s, Dunn devoted more time
to lecturing at colleges and film societies. In 1983, he worked on “The ASC Treasury of Visual Effects” written by George
Turner. In addition to a number of other honors bestowed by the Academy, Dunn received the 1984 Gordon E. Sawyer Award. The
Linwood Dunn Theater in the Academy’s Pickford Center for Motion Picture Study in Hollywood, California is named in his honor.
