Accommodation Windsor Limited is proud to announce Sam Taylor as the winner of our “Windsor as a Destination” video competition. The competition was launched back in September to the BTEC media students at East Berkshire College to provide a 90 second video representing Windsor and everything it has to offer. We launched the project in partnership with the College in the hope of finding some raw talent to showcase Accommodation Windsor Ltd, our Executive short-let Properties and Windsor to its best advantage on film. The idea was initially thought up by Managing Director Nigel Holder, recognising the benefits of video footage on various social media, he thought it would be great to invite local cinematographers to enter our competition; a great experience for the students and what fantastic results! The videos were judged by a team at AWL who were blown away by the level of talent on their doorstep.
After vigorous viewing of all the submissions, it quickly became apparent that Sam’s video was the clear favourite, but the standard of entries was so high that we ended up creating two runners’ up prizes for Cory Thompson and Jack Smith to recognise their efforts.
Sam wins £250 together with a contract worth £2000 with Accommodation Windsor Limited to produce further videos of our short-let apartments and houses. This week Sam has completed filming the first video “Meet the Team” and a photoshoot for our Xmas Charity E-card. The video in itself has been a great team-building exercise and we are all really excited to see the results… more details to follow.
Sam shared his thoughts about winning first prize, “Nigel from Accommodation Windsor approached my college to produce a ninety second video entitled Windsor as a Destination. It was a fantastic opportunity for me and my peers as aspiring videographers to enter this competition and extremely beneficial to be given a chance at a corporate brief from a real client.
I was extremely nervous on the day Nigel came to announce the winner. I wanted to win so badly as the possibility of working on similar professional briefs was just too great a prize to miss out on. When Nigel announced that I had won I could barely speak! It was such a mixture of emotions; I was happy, excited, nervous and relieved all at the same time. Im so excited about working with Accommodation Windsor in the future and really thankful for the opportunity that they have given me.”
We have been delighted with the feedback from Sam’s prize-winning video “Windsor as a Destination”, it really does show Windsor at its finest and amazingly was completed in just three days! Sam is 18 years old and has already won a Young Bafta Award, he hopes to attend University when he finishes his course in Windsor and we think that he has a very bright future ahead.
