|
| Sponsored by | www | Telstra Country Wide | |
| Judges Comments: A great story. Well written, well shot and edited. The journalist obviously spent a lot of time on the project - a labour of love perhaps?? The selection of UPSHOTS and vox pops was excellent, in particular the chats between coaches and kids was great. Real heartwarming stuff. The interviews were interesting which showed the reporter had built up a friendship with the talent. Importantly, there was a message throughout the story. His piece to camera was clear, informative and concise, and the script looked ahead to next year, which editorially showed he was thinking about what's coming up next. And his voice was perfect for the story. Very, Very, very good work. |

| Winner | www | Daniel Pycroft - Win News Cairns "Taipans Tour Thursday Island" |
|
| Sponsored by | www | Bacardi Lion | |
| Judges Comments: It was obvious this cameraman loves his job. Great thought went into every frame of this story. Colour stories like this need to be interesting and hold interviews attention. The package achieves this and more. He has made the editor’s job easier with nice dissolves, tilts and an imaginative use of angles. He has also got up early to get some beautiful shots of Thursday Island. That shows initiative above the call duty. He followed the Taipans NBL team EVERYWHERE. It was great to get their point of view and “go behind the scenes”. Excellence above and beyond, and extra marks for getting up early! |
