Laura
Graff Hit and Run Search for the Driver wins Courygraph Productions
a
2008 VIDEOGRAPHER Award in the Web/News and Information Category
The Videographer Awards
announced the CouryGraph productions was an Award of Distinction Winner in
the 2008 international awards competition that recognizes outstanding achievement in video
productions. CouryGraph's entry, Laura
Graff Hit and Run Search for the Driver,
was one of about 2,100 entries from throughout the United States and
several other countries in the 2008 competition.
The Videographer Awards is one of the most coveted awards in the video industry. Over
the past 12 years, thousands of production and communication professionals have entered
their best and most creative work. The goal of the Videographer Awards is to identify
and recognize the video artisans who excel in the scope of their own environment.
Winners range from network news operations to local cable access...from large
production companies to freelancers...from international advertising agencies to student
producers.
Winners were selected from categories under the headings of television productions,
video productions and new media. The Award of Distinction is awarded for projects that
exceed industry standards.
"We're
very pleased with our accomplishments in this year's Videographer
competition, and extremely proud all of our staff and Officer Matt Barnett
of the Glendale AZ , who did a wonderful narration of this call for
information," said Ed Sharpe. Producer and Director of CouryGraph
Productions. "It is gratifying to know that the expertise and talent
of our staff has been recognized by our peers within the industry."
Sharpe recognizes that, "It is not just his and his staff's
videography or the engineering and delivery of the material that make an
award winning entry, so it is always nice to share the recognition with
the narrator in a news story." "Many times the main on-screen
personality is the PIO at an accident scene or a foreman at a construction
site" Sharpe claims. In this instance, Matt Barnett, who narrated
this call for action to find Laura Graff's Hit and Run Driver, is also an
award recipient.

What the Video was
about:
Description On the evening of September 23, 2006 at 7:00 pm, Glendale
firefighters responded to a car and motorcycle crash involving Laura
Graff, a 24-year-old Glendale woman.
She was riding her motorcycle at
59th Avenue and Mercer Lane in Glendale Arizona. They found Graff barely
clinging to life from the severe injuries caused by hit and run driver.
The driver of the vehicle that hit Laura fled the scene. This footage
was the first reporting of the event and a call for witnesses to help
locate this driver. This driver remains unidentified.
Unlike a traditional television
newscast, this production with it's call for information narrated by
Glendale Police PIO Matt Barnett, still remains online shadowing the
perpetrator... someday they will be identified. Laura Graff survived and
is undergoing therapy to overcome the effects of her injuries. You may
also see the ceremony whereas she awarded the fire fighters,
ambulance drivers and hospital trauma personal for helping save her life

About CouryGraph Productions:
Ed Sharpe and CouryGraph Productions are the creator of KKAT-IPTV and
Glendale Daily Planet.
Glendale Daily Planet, the parent organization of KKAT-IPTV was started in
2004 as the first community journalism news site in Glendale and perhaps
all of Arizona... Serving The Metro West Side of the Valley of the Sun,
Glendale Daily Planet has witnessed, participated in and recorded the
further rejuvenation of the downtown core, the meteoric rise of the
'Glendale Sports Empire' and the restoration of historic sections of the
town.
One aspect Sharpe is most proud of is the ability to have a continuous
24/7 stream of archived footage in the player but yet, when a special
event arises, have the ability to go live interrupting the pre-programmed
content to cover the event. With the advent of higher speed EVDO radio
cards and compact portable satellite terminals the options are limitless.
