WRG Qatar, Doha, has won a Gold Camera Award in
Specialty Production and a Silver Screen for Editing for the film "COP18/CMPS
Climate Change Conference." The awards were announced in July by US International Film
& Video Conference for its 2013 competition. Only 18 Gold Camera Awards were
given.
The widescreen film was done for
The United Nations Framework Convention opening on Climate Change. The filming
crew faced special challenges to accomplish the task. Since the head table and
lectern had to remain onstage at all times during the conference opening, WRG created
a 25-minute centerpiece film focusing on individuals from around the world who
are fighting climate change.
WRG had five weeks to research,
shoot and edit the film, which involved 36,183 miles of travel across the
Maldives and Madagascar, Germany and the UAE, New York and Qatar. Middle East Event Awards last night, winning
two prestigious awards.
The production also won Best Meeting or
Conference from the Middle East Event Awards in Dubai. WRG is headquartered in
Manchester, England.
The US International Film &
Video Festival competition has been held since 1967 and recognizes outstanding Corporate,
Education, Entertainment, Documentary and Student productions. Entrants
from 22 countries received 113 awards in the 2013 US International Film &
Video Festival. Overall entrants came from 24 countries.
