We were excited to receive 2 more Creative Excellence awards from UPVA last week. The competition was great this year. So many awesome videos were submitted. We were proud to come home with 2nd place in the Date Video Production Category for Tiffany & John’s fun Liberty Park Date Film. and 3rd place in the Event Video Category for Brighton High School Girls Soccer Highlight DVD. We are so grateful to have such awesome clients that allow us to put together such entertaining productions. 

We are also so glad to be part of UPVA, We have so many helpful and dedicated members this year, and it really is amazing to get together with them each month and all learn from each other.

I was just nominated and elected as the UPVA President-Elect, which is similar to a Vice President role, but also implies that next year I will be President.  UPVA, or Utah Professional Videographers Association, is a great organization for videographers of all kinds.  Many members do mainly wedding videography, but most also offer other services to individual and corporate clients.  It’s a great group to be a part of and we learn a lot from each other.  I was on the board last year as webmaster, and am excited to stay on the board and serve my fellow colleagues. The other new board members are listed on the UPVA website.

Last night was the 5th annual UPVA (Utah Professional Videographers Association ) Creative Excellence Awards Banquet. Me and my fellow videographers have been looking forward to this night for a long time. We tried something really cool and new this year for the judging. We had professional videographers from around the country, judge our videos online, It was alot of work creating the website, but it worked out really smooth.

It was held at the Joseph Smith Memorial Building, and the food was awesome. Giant Brothers was happy to recieve 2 more UPVA Creative Excellence Awards, (One for our Wedding Demo, and one for an awesome reception we did last year)  as well as some special recognition for our help on the Board of Directors. It was great to have my beautiful wife DeAnn there, and it was a fun night for all.

The 6th Annual UPVA 2007 awards are coming up soon as well, and we are excited to work with the awesome UPVA Board again, to put together another great competition and awards night.

Last Year we were suprised to win a Gold Creative Excellence Award from WEVA International, at the 16th Annual WEVA EXPO in Las Vegas. It really was a great and shocking moment as my wife and I sat there and heard our name called in the crowded banquet room. There was no way we could have done it without the wonderful couple Sarah and Jason, that allowed us to be part of their special day. We later found out that it was the first LDS Temple Wedding Video to win such an award and the first Utah company as well to receive Gold.

Now we are getting ready to head out to Vegas again for another wonderful expo, and this time we will have alot more Utah Videographer friends with us. I have alwayed been impressed by the amazing talent of fellow UPVA members in Utah and I think Utah is ready to show the world the kind of talent and skill we have as wedding videographers. It’s going to be a great year, and we will see if lightning can strike twice and we can pick up another award this year, or better yet, if all my talented Utah videographer friends can make a mark at WEVA as well.

Here is Sarah & Jason’s Award-Winning Temple Film from last year:
