PIXELAB STUDIOS’ DUQUESNE UNIVERSITY COVID-19 SAFETY VIDEO SERIES NAMED BEST NON-BROADCAST PRODUCTION IN SAFETY IN THE 42ND ANNUAL TELLY AWARDS
PITTSBURGH, PA (PittsburghNewsWire.com) — Pixelab Studios announced today its COVID-19 Safety Video Series for Duquesne University has been named Best Non-Broadcast Production in Safety in the 42nd Annual Telly Awards. The Telly Awards honors excellence in video and television across all screens and is judged by leaders from video platforms, television, streaming networks, production companies including Netflix, Dow Jones, Duplass Brothers Productions, Complex Networks, A&E Networks, Hearst Media, Nickelodeon, ESPN Films, RYOT, Partizan and Vimeo.
To encourage individuals to follow proper safety guidelines during the COVID-19 pandemic, Pixelab Studios produced a series of safety videos for Duquesne University outlining best practices for safety while on campus and in the surrounding community. Topics include the importance of wearing a mask, social distancing and general hygiene reminders to protect against the virus and showcased Duquesne University’s safety pledge, daily health screening process and the importance of self-reporting. The video series was distributed via Duquesne University email campaigns, bulletins, the Duquesne U mobile app and displayed on media screens throughout campus for all faculty, staff and students to view.
“In the face of a year like no other, Pixelab Studios has continued to defy the limitations of our new world, in continuing to create compelling and engaging work”, says Telly Awards Executive Director Sabrina Dridje. “This year’s submissions doubled down on what we already know about the industry. Creativity cannot be stopped. Collaboration will always prevail. New ideas and stories will always find a way to break through to an audience.”
“It’s truly an honor to receive such a prestigious award from our peers in the video and television industry”, says Brandon Roudebush, Founder and Executive Producer at Pixelab Studios. “We believe strongly in the power of video to inform, inspire and entertain. This is displayed in our COVID-19 Safety Video Series for Duquesne University where the goal was to encourage individuals to follow proper safety guidelines while on campus and in the surrounding community in a fun and engaging way. It was an important goal that I believe was a factor in mitigating the spread of the virus and made it possible for the university to return to a full on-campus learning environment and regular student life operations for the fall 2021 semester.”
Today’s announcement caps a year-long celebration of creators defying the limitations by embracing platforms to increase awareness about injustices and promote solidarity for movements, as well as geographical, like developing fully remote pipelines for dispersed teams.
This year also saw the continued expansion of new categories to reflect and celebrate new forms of producing work in light of the past month’s restrictions and limitations. New categories included Remote Production, Virtual Events & Experiences and an increase in animation categories.
Last year, The Telly Awards attracted more than 12,000 entries from top video content producers including Adobe, Adult Swim, the BBC, Condé Nast, J. Paul Getty Museum, PBS, Playstation, RadicalMedia, T Brand Studio, Ogilvy & Mather and The Walt Disney Company.
