F. Alton Everest died on September 3, 2005 at the age of 95 in Santa Barbara, California. He was co-founder of Moody Institute of Science in the Los Angeles area in 1945 and served there in film production for 25 years. The 16mm science documentaries produced at MIS have won awards at Edinburgh, Venice, Bilboa, Paris, and Florence film festivals as well as numerous American festivals. They have been translated into 30 languages and used in more than 100 countries. He was Assistant Professor of Electrical engineering at Oregon State University (1936-1945) and, after retirement from MIS in 1970, was Senior Lecturer in the Communication Department at Hong Kong Baptist College, where he established a course in cinematography. In 1973 he served as a judge at the 16th Asian Film Festival held in Taipei, the first westerner to have that honor.
During World War II he served as Section Chief at the University of California Division of War Research, San Diego (Office of Scientific Research and Development), directing research in underwater sound. He served as a consultant in acoustics for 15 years, designing radio and recording studios in the U.S. and 16 other countries, acoustical correction in churches, auditoriums and civic spaces, and working with architects in new construction. Everest is probably best known for his seven books on acoustics published by Tab-McGraw Hill and his 6 chapters in Handbook of Sound Engineering, published by Howard W Sams Company.
