A senior music lecturer at the University of Chichester has won a top communications award for his role in producing a film for two charity organisations.Crispin Ward, Head of Orchestral Studies, won a gold award at the International Visual Communications Association (ICVA) awards, described as Europe's largest and most prestigious celebration of the best in corporate and public sector communication.
He was recognised in the Best Original Music and Sound Design category, where he worked with Simon Thompson to write and produce music for a short film for Reivers 12, a charity rowing team who raise money for Children with Leukaemia and Chase Hospice Care for Children.
Crispin said: “I was approached to do the music by the producers of the film, Seamless Media, as I already do a good deal with them. I wrote the piece, but it is in fact computer generated as there was no budget to have it recorded live. However, Channel 4 is doing a documentary on the Reivers 12, and there is a budget to record the same music with a live orchestra. As a result, I hope to use the University of Chichester Symphony Orchestra, as it is one of the finest orchestras of its type in the country.”
The award holds a great deal of weight in the communications industry, and Crispin has recently worked for global advertising agency M&C Saatchi following recognition at the awards ceremony.
