HE Success
Andrew O'Leary of SLR Creations Ltd, Bridgend was awarded two Highly Commended places in the Best Film and Documentary category. With over 1,000 members throughout Europe, the IOV Awards has fast become the leading showcase of talent in professional videography and attracts sponsorship from leading manufacturers and suppliers to the industry.
Presented by former Tomorrow's World star, Maggie Philbin, the Oscar-style ceremony took place alongside the IOV's Annual Convention held in the Jaguar Halls at the Ricoh Arena, Coventry on 14th October 2009.
Andrew's entries, A Man in the Chair and Natalie's Ear, were one of only five short-listed titles within the Short Film and Documentary category, which is a significant achievement in itself. Judges were not only looking for exceptional video production standards, but also originality and creative flair which demons trate the value to customers of commissioning a professional videographer.
Andrew is tremendously proud of his achievement in the IOV Awards and looks forward to the additional exposure that IOV Award winners receive each year. IOV Administrator, Kevin Cook, commented on Andrew's awards, "The IOV Awards get tougher and tougher each year as the general standards in video production rise. To win an IOV Award is a significant accomplishment indeed. I'm really pleased for Andrew and hope that this achievement will generate more commissions for SLR Creations in the coming year."
The IOV Awards cover six key areas of video production, namely Best Corporate, Best Wedding Day Film, Best Documentary, Best Film, Best Music Video and Best Open - and are freely open to all IOV members. In addition, a new award was introduced this year for Best Overall Production.
Andrew completed the Foundation Degree in Creative Industries at Bridgend College in June 2009.
