Videotel films gather international awards

Videotel films gather international awards

Awards are coming thick and fast for maritime training provider Videotel Marine International which has received five honours in the past few months.

The company has achieved a Golden Reel award from the Media Communications Association International (MCA-I) Media Festival for its training film “Hydrodynamics and Interaction”; a Gold Remi award for “Hydrodynamics and Interaction” at the WorldFest-Houston international film festival; a Silver Remi from WorldFest for “The Mariner’s Role In Collecting Evidence”; an award for Distinction in the International Academy of the Visual Arts’ annual Communicator Awards for its “Dynamic Positioning Basic Training Course”; and an Intermedia Globe Gold award from the World Media Festival for “Piracy & Armed Robbery, edition 3”.

Nigel Cleave, CEO of Videotel, said: “These awards clearly demonstrate the effectiveness of Videotel’s films and animation as a training medium.  Realistic demonstrations, as seen in our training materials, are able to engage the viewer more emotively and graphically illustrate good and bad practices in a way the trainee can clearly assimilate.

“We are delighted to receive these awards. We have a highly qualified and experienced team of professional film-makers and multi-media developers at Videotel, producing accessible training films of exceptional quality and it is gratifying to see the international film industry recognising this expertise.”
