YouTube tourism videos awarded
Four local tourism operators have been awarded prizes for
producing videos of their businesses by Sunshine Coast
Destination Ltd (SCDL). Participants of the “Create your own
video for YouTube” digital workshop submitted videos to compete
for a professionally produced video package.
Developed by SCDL and presented by Chris Peckham of Source Media
and Matt Lawton of PunkLogic, the workshop provided advice on
everything you need to know about shooting, editing, uploading,
optimising and sharing video. Following the workshop,
participants put into practice what they had learnt and produced
their own videos and posted to YouTube.
Crookneck Retreat and Coolum Surf School videos were judged the
most creative and have won a professionally produced video
package from Source Media for their businesses.
Mr Brett Standring of Crookneck Retreat said, “The workshop was
well worth going to and I learnt not to be afraid of technology,
but the value in using it. We will be able to post video on our
website and YouTube providing more interactive and visual
information for people. I definitely feel more confident
producing video now!”
Other encouragement awards went to excellent video entries from
Accom Noosa and Kids Welcome. These tourism operators have each
won a 2 hour package from Source Media to work on their existing
video entries for further use and promotion.
“This practical initiative is part of SCDL’s series of free
digital workshops, to assist and encourage tourism operators to
improve their digital know-how and remain competitive with their
online marketing.” said SCDL’s Industry Development Manager, Mr
Brad Harrison.
Chris Peckham of Source Media, Noosa is a producer with 15 years
experience in television and video production.
