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.”
My latest film Welcome To Medway had its first public screening during Medway’s launch of the Cultural Olympiad. It was projected 40 foot high onto the side of Rochester Castle. The celebrations also included a Doodle Den workshop run by Wendy Daws and Päivi Seppälä as part of [FRAMEDWAY], my public art project.
Commissioned by Medway 2012 Team the film will be used to promote Medway nationally and internationally as both a first-class tourist destination and a sporting centre of excellence.
This week I delivered 9 films to Kent TV who commissioned me to produce an hours content for their updated online TV Channel. The films focus on some of Kent’s elite athletes and their preparations and plans for the 2012 Olympics, as well as the coaches and volunteers that support them.
Interviews with Chris Hespe, Head of Sport, Leisure & Olympics at KCC and Stephanie Holt, KCC’s Manager for the 2012 Games outlined how Kent is preparing for the games.
Head over to Kent TV to view the films.
