2005 NAB Awards

As an important part of its outreach in the event video community, The 4EVER Group presented two sets of awards at the recent NAB 2005 convention.

With technical director Ed Wardyga (KVI Media, Pawtucket, RI) and technical advisor Marc Franklin (Franklin Video, Oak Park, CA), The 4EVER Group team thoroughly reviewed the newly introduced products that were targeted to the wedding and special event video market.

Early in the 2005 NAB convention, The 4EVER Group presented a series of "Outstanding Product" awards to companies whose products were introduced at NAB 2004, and were proven in use by event videographers during the course of the past year.

The second set of awards were for products that were introduced at this years' NAB. After an exhaustive review of the various products that were introduced at NAB 2005, The 4EVER Group presented a series of "Innovation Awards", given to companies offering items with great potential for effective use within the event video community.

The following gallery are of the presentation of these awards, the companies, their products and their representatives.
