LevelRed Wins Awards for Outstanding Production
SAN DIEGO – August 14, 2000 – LevelRed a new media aggregator focused
towards young men and women on life’s cutting edge and a project Company
of Zandria Corporation (OTC: BB ZAND) was honored last week with four
(4) Aegis Awards for outstanding video content.
The Aegis Awards, headquartered in East Greenwich, Rhode Island, were
founded nearly a decade ago by a group of independent producers and
directors. Previous Aegis winners, working professionals in the
television and video production industry, judge entries. Other past
Award winners include Microsoft, The Discovery Channel and Apple
Computer.
The LevelRed production company won one Aegis in the category of
Television News for a video piece entitled “Big Toe Band.” LevelRed also
was declared a finalist for two other video pieces in the Sports
category (both surfer profiles) and for the Drama/Entertainment field (a
musician/clothing designer profile). The honored videos are among
several other videos, which currently stream on www.levelred.com.
Three of the honored videos were produced and directed by then LevelRed
Executive Producer of Production, Steve Gibby who was recently promoted
to Vice President of Webcasting and Television for LevelRed. During a
twenty year career in television as a producer, director, editor, and
cameraman Mr. Gibby has contributed to over 500 youth-targeted
television programs which aired on ESPN, NBC, Fox, and Prime Sports
Network.
Mr. Gibby has shared in or received seven Telly awards, ten Aegis
awards, two regional Emmy awards, and two Communicator awards. He was
also notified last week of two additional Aegis awards (one Winner and
one Finalist) for Internet videos he produced and directed just before
joining LevelRed. For the past three years, Mr. Gibby has also been
producing dynamic rich media web sites, including the current LevelRed
web site.
“These fast-paced custom video pieces maintain a high interest level
among viewers,” observed Mr. Gibby. “ Now that we are also producing
exciting live Webcasts, our overall visual content is not only cutting
edge, but also helps viewers enjoy our web site for longer periods of
time. Our video-on-demand is a key element of our strategy to achieve
longer on-line visits. Both our current average of more than 15 minutes
per visit and these prestigious Aegis Awards will continue to increase
membership, which leads directly to greater revenue opportunities.”
LevelRed Video Editor, Doug Dunford, edited all four Aegis Award winning
videos. Mr. Dunford also produced and directed one of the pieces. He
joined LevelRed with extensive experience editing television programs,
music videos, and commercials and has received several previous awards
for outstanding editing.
