Bruce Lyon (born c.1948) [1] is an American film producer, animator, and artist.
In 1980 he won an Academy Award in the Scientific Technical Achievement Category for inventing the Lyon Lamb Video Animation System (shared with John Lamb) a single frame video device for pre-testing animation art (pencil tests) before it's committed to final production. Video recordings were 30 frames per second, while film had a standard of 24 frames per second. Their animation system allowed animators to record pencil tests with 24 frames per second, just like film, one or two frames at a time. He and John also designed and built a video-rotoscope machine that was used to make the music video "Tom Waits for No One", which they won first place for at the 1st Hollywood Film and Video Festival.
