COURYGRAPH
PRODUCTIONS - 2013 VIDEOGRAPHER AWARD OF EXCELLENCE WINNER
FOR GLENDALE DAILY PLANT ONLINE NEWS AND INFORMATION SERVICE
Bette Sharpe
holds up her Award of Excellence from the Videographer Awards 2013
competition.
There were more than 1,500 entries
throughout the United States and several other countries in the
Videographer Awards 2013 competition. Glendale Daily Planet / KKAT-IPTV
designed by CouryGraph Productions was judged to be deserving of industry
wide recognition for excellence in News and Information
The Award of Excellence was awarded to
those projects the judges deemed were written, produced, shot and edited
in an exceptional manner. Approximately 12 percent of the entries won this
award
"We’re very pleased with our
accomplishments in this year’s Videographer competition, and extremely
proud all of our staff and contributors – and the recognition we all
received from our peers within the industry," said Ed Sharpe,
producer and director of CouryGraph Productions.
This Videographer Award is another
valued addition to CouryGraph Production’s award
shelf with the array of an Emmy(R) Award, Telly
Awards, Hermes Creative Awards, an Arizona Press Club Award Glendale City
SPARK Award and many others...
Unlike a traditional television
newscast, the KKAT-IPTV video news productions can be as long or as short
as the event exists.
Bette Sharpe said, "We do not have
to conform to standard short news segments as in traditional on-the-air
broadcasting. The Internet and IPTV offers great flexibility."
The Glendale Daily Planet is heading into its ninth year in October. This
passage of time has seen many great triumphs and a share of debacles that
took place in this period of Glendale’s history.
Ed Sharpe said, "We always attempt
to portray a balanced grouping of news, but, of course, derive more joy
when it is a ‘Good Glendale Story.’ It is not just about showing news
and events today. Archived footage of all our shows will be put on file
with the appropriate historical societies thus forming a ‘time capsule’
of video footage representing this time in the city’s period of changing
growth and face.
"Our success is due in large part
to the help and mentorship we received in the early formative years of
this venture from others in the media. We remember those that helped us
get our start and today share video footage, photographs and text with
them to be used in their publications."
The Videographer Awards is administered
and judged by the Association of Marketing and Communication
Professionals. The international organization consists of several thousand
marketing, communication, advertising, public relations, media production
and free-lance professionals who have entered AMCP programs. The Advisory
Board oversees awards and recognition programs, provides judges and sets
standards of excellence. Judges are industry professionals who look for
companies and individuals whose talent exceeds a high standard of
excellence and whose work serves as a benchmark for the industry.
