O'Brien Communications Group Wins Video Awards

HARTFORD, CT -- (MARKET WIRE) -- December 11, 2006 -- O'Brien Communications Group (OCG) has been awarded two Certificates for Creative Excellence from the U.S. International Film & Video Festival (www.filmfestawards.com). OCG's entry -- "The Challenge" -- was created for ImageRight of Conyers, Georgia, a developer of software for document imaging, content management, and workflow processes. "The Challenge," a game-show spoof, won in two categories: (1) General Audience: Marketing and (2) Concept/Writing.

"These awards are especially gratifying because the entire project was conceived and executed in just two weeks," said Mark O'Brien, OCG's founding partner. "Two of ImageRight's customers -- insurance agencies who wanted a video to use in promoting ImageRight to their corporate parent -- asked ImageRight if they'd underwrite the cost of the video. We wrote the script in a weekend, had it approved on Monday, shot the following Friday, and completed post-production by the following Thursday."

OCG worked with Van Gogh, Inc., a video direction, production, and post-production company in Smyrna, Georgia, to complete the project.

"Robby Heisner, the owner of Van Gogh, is part genius and part magician," added O'Brien. "After he received the script, he hired the talent, had the sets designed and built, found the props, had the graphics created, and found a soundstage in four days. Then he directed the actors so efficiently that we were able to complete shooting in one day."
