In accepting the award, Craig remembered how great it had been working with Steve and thanked other cinematographers who pioneered the distinctive Croc Hunter style. Craig also recognised the invaluable contribution of Producer/Director John Stainton and Associate Producer Justin Lyons who's creative cinematography makes every Croc Hunter doco that much more exciting.
Also on the night, John presented a moving tribute to Steve Irwin highlighting Steve's ability as a cameraman. The award for Nature and Wildlife Cinematography was dedicated to Steve's memory.
Other cinematographers who worked with Steve were recognised at the awards. Henry Pierce ACS received his ACS Accreditation and John Stokes ACS won two Gold Awards and the coveted Judges Award.
