Augusta University students aim for Emmy nomination with translation work
“For Richardson, a communication major, his skills lied in videography. His potential Emmy nomination comes from the promotional video “ Wycliffe My Augusta University Story ” he worked on with Art Berger. He played a major key role in audio and video production. However, Richardson is no stranger to awards. He produced a creative promotional ad for the annual INNOVATE student competition that led him to win his first ADDY award.The idea behind the project was all about innovation. Richardson decided to take a new approach to showcasing a problem that needed a solution by using the clichéd trope of a masked serial killer chasing a girl in the woods. However, there is a plot twist: Instead of falling victim to the antagonist, the woman finds a solution to help and humanize the “killer”.”
Augusta University students win big at American Advertising Awards
“Two Augusta University students have been busy this awards season producing media that is accessible and eye-catching.
Clayton Richardson, a communication major in Pamplin College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences, and Diana Pacheco, a biology major in the College of Science and Mathematics, recently won big at the American Advertising Awards, known as the ADDYs. They won both Gold and Best In Show awards, along with $250 scholarships.
“I am incredibly proud of Clayton. He definitely showed all that during his internship with Tim and me at the Center for Instructional Innovation and throughout the production of this award-winning video, which was his final internship project with us,” said Takahashi. “I also want to thank Art Berger, who advised Clayton during the award-submission process.”
“Clayton displayed great pride and integrity in his work for the world to see and has received multiple accolades and scholarships, and as educators, there’s nothing more rewarding than to see such an achievement! Thanks to Art Berger for advising and compelling Clayton to go through the award submission process,” said Williams.
