The 29th Annual Telly Awards recognizes Video Resources corporate presentations

Telly AwardVR was recently awarded two Tellys for videos produced for their client Cytyc, a leader in women’s healthcare."Doing Good Works", a video chronicling a group of doctors and health care workers who travel to the underprivileged in the USA and other countries, donating their time and services to those in need, captured top honors in it's category. "The Power of One", a music video shot in Long Beach California featuring Jennifer Corday and showcasing a crosscut montage of studio and location footage also was awarded a coveted Telly statue. The "Power Of One" video, originally created as a National Sales Meeting show open, became such a big hit it was used throughout the year to kick off an entire series of training and marketing meetings. Both shows were shot in standard definition in DVCAM format with graphics by Julie Becker, with post completed by Brad Hagen in house, at our west coast facility.

SIGNATURE AWARD ACKNOWLEDGES EXTRAORDINARY WORK

Signature Award
In an invitation only, red carpet (more of an industrial gray) event that took place on the 3rd of March, 2008, RJ Balch and Chris Wells, of Video Resources Boston area office, each received a Signature Award from one of our client's internal sales training organization. The Signature Award was created in 2003 to acknowledge extraordinary work, and to recognize actions that exemplify the client's corporate culture and values. The Signature Award is highly sought after, but is rarely earned by non-employee corporate partners, as in this case.

"Both RJ and Chris are honored to receive this prestigious award." said Brad Hagen, Video Resources Founder and CEO. "We're proud to count them among the VRi crew, and pleased to have their knowledge, skills and abilities on tap for technically demanding projects."

Chris Wells serves as Video Resources' East Coast operations manager, while RJ Balch serves as staff editor and production coordinator for our Boston office.

Video Resources has provided video production, staging and creative support for over three decades.

DID SOMEONE SAY SUPER BOWL?

Yes, yes we did! While we weren’t involved directly, we were in Phoenix the same week as the big game, and we kept busy producing a National Sales Meeting for a leading women’s healthcare company! It was packed full of memorable events… the meeting, not the Super Bowl (unless of course you are a Giants fan). Our staging team produced multiple general sessions and dozens of breakouts – many of which encouraged audience participation by utilizing TouchPoint technology and traditional game show quizzes. In addition, we produced over 40 videos and integrated them throughout the meeting to educate, motivate, and entertain the audience of nearly 600. Check out our project samples to see some of the crowd-pleasing videos.

PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE

Well, a few of our clients can definitely ham it up, and these role-plays help our clients’ college-educated, first class sales folks put their talents on display! Ever year, we help our clients demonstrate “the good, the bad, and the ugly” of sales techniques so their sales forces can benefit. Some involve immediate playback for self-critiquing; others become part of linear or interactive training programs. This month our East Coast office produced over 30 vignettes for an international medical sales organization. The vignettes starred top sales and marketing staff playing all of the roles. We know staff time is valuable, so shooting with two cameras and flat lighting allowed for a demanding taping schedule that met the clients needs. If your sales team can use a little time in the limelight, drop us a line and we will plan the best option for your group.
