2007 IOV Award Winners - IOV Press Release on The Empty Photograph

2007 IOV Award Winners – Press Release: 17th October 2007




Local video production company wins prestigious IOV Award

The IOV (Institute of Videography) announced the winners of their annual awards on 17th October at Wroxall Abbey, Warwickshire. The IOV Awards cover five key areas of video production, namely Best Corporate, Best Wedding Video, Best Documentary, Best Short Film and Best Open - and are freely open to all IOV members.

Phil Janvier of Phil Janvier Digital Video and Movie Productions and Rector of St Stephen's Parish Church, Gateacre, Liverpool was awarded a Highly Commended place in the Short Film category against extremely tough competition. 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 the leading manufacturers and suppliers to the industry.

Presented by meteorologist and ITV weather presenter, Sian Lloyd, the Oscar-style ceremony took place alongside the IOV’s Annual Convention held at the Royal Show Grounds at Stoneleigh Park. All short-listed entrants were in attendance, and as the final running order is not announced until the night it creates a wonderfully exciting atmosphere for all participants.

Their entry, The Empty Photograph, was one of only five short-listed titles within the Short Film 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 demonstrate the value to customers of commissioning a professional videographer.

Phil Janvier Digital Video and Movie Productions are tremendously proud of their achievement in the IOV Awards and look forward to the additional exposure that IOV Award winners receive each year. IOV Administrator, Kevin Cook, commented on Phil Janvier’s award, “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 Phil Janvier Digital Video and Movie Productions and hope that this achievement will generate more commissions for this very talented videographer in the coming year.”
