Agency recognized for video portrait of noted designer and television spot for Patient First.
TOWSON, MD, October 5, 2009—Channel Communications received two Telly Awards for broadcast work produced recently, the agency announced. Channel Communications won a Silver Telly for “A Designer’s Journey,” a tribute to graphic designer Pat Taylor that was produced for the agency’s thedesignetwork.com website; and a Bronze Telly for “Olivia,” a TV spot for Patient First, an urgent and primary health care provider, which depicted how Patient First’s services helped bring a young ballerina back to health in time for her recital.
“A Designer’s Journey” written and directed by David Franek, Creative Director of Channel Communications, is part of the agency’s ongoing effort to develop interesting and entertaining content about the world of design. “Olivia” was produced by Channel Communications with animation provided by Bandelier EFX of Albuquerque, New Mexico that employed a unique technique called rotoscoping which involved drawing individual image over live-action footage.
The Telly Awards (www.tellyawards.com) is one of today’s most prestigious awards for communications professionals and honors excellence in local, regional, and cable TV commercials and programs, as well as the finest video and film productions, and other work, for the web.

And these awards further validate that.”
