SVSU and Marshall Fredericks Museum Honored for Video Work

Two videos highlighting exhibits at the Marshall M. Fredericks Sculpture Museum have received honors.  “Street Sense: Celebrating 20 Years of the Heidelberg Project” and “Waves: The Art of Diane Carr,” both received bronze awards at the 30th Annual Telly Awards in New York.

The videos were co-produced by Dan Goodell of Saginaw Valley State University’s Instructional Technology Center and the Museum’s Director, Marilyn L. Wheaton. Visit the museum’s web site at marshallfredericks.org to view the videos on the temporary exhibitions pages.

Founded in 1979, the Telly Awards is the premier award honoring outstanding local, regional, and cable TV commercials and programs, the finest film and video productions, and groundbreaking web commercials, videos and films. Winners represent the best work of the most respected advertising agencies, production companies, television stations, cable operators, and corporate video departments in the world.

This year’s competition included some 13,500 entries from all 50 states and around the world.

A prestigious judging panel of over 40 accomplished industry professionals, each a past winner of a Silver Telly, the top honor, judged the competition, upholding the historical standard of excellence that Telly represents. Judges evaluated entries to recognize distinction in creative work - entries do not compete against each other - rather entries are judged against a high standard of merit. Less than 10 percent of entries are chosen as Winners of a Silver Telly, the highest honor. Other outstanding work is awarded a Bronze Telly.
