The inaugural Medway Culture & Design Awards took place at Prince’s Hall in Rochester last night. I was invited to be on the judging panel earlier in the year and was then commissioned to produce motion graphics, projected slideshows and winner’s ‘reveal’ films.
The lifetime contribution award went to Zandra Rhodes who was unable to attend the event due to a family engagement in the USA, so I visited her in her London studio and filmed a short acceptance speech.
Dame Kelly Holmes, double gold Olympic medalist visited Medway yesterday and I was called in to film and edit a video message for the Medway Sports Awards being held that evening. With a two hour turn around it was a tight deadline but I delivered the film before returning to film Kelly later that day at a training session for the children at Featherby Junior School.
Kelly added her support to Medway’s 2012 campaign: “It’s great to see the support that Medway are giving to sport and the facilities in this area, and with the new development of Medway Park I’m sure it’s going to be a huge benefit to the community and anybody involved with sport.”
I have recently filmed 12 Medway businesses that have been shortlisted for the Medway Business Awards 2008. A fast paced visual montage edit and the winners’ “reveal” films will be screened at the award ceremony on November 14th. The films employ a sporting theme in light of the 2012 Olympics coming to London. Watch Film.
