Worktank Producers Shine at Tellys

Worktank Creative Media, in conjunction with Microsoft Studios, took two Bronze statues and a Gold at the recent Telly Awards. Taking the Gold was the "Standards of Business Conduct" CD-ROM with Worktank Creative Media Producer Kate Wolf. Finalists were the "Vision for Lifelong Learning" video with Worktank Creative Media Producers Jennifer Hill and co-founder Leslie Rugaber and the "Windows XP and Office System Deployment" DVD, again with Producer Kate Wolf.

The "Standards of Business Conduct" CD-ROM is a video-based interactive training piece for Microsoft full-time employees. Through the videos and corresponding voiceover and text, the training covers the major areas of business conduct behavior expected of all Microsoft employees and provides information on all Microsoft conduct policies, access to contacts, and directions for reporting violations.

Produced for Microsoft Research, the "Vision for Lifelong Learning" video illustrates technology's successful entrance into the learning place. The video intercuts interviews of visionaries in the fields of technology and education with futuristic education scenes in which children utilize innovative technologies to learn and interact. It powerfully demonstrates this integration and builds excitement for the future.

The "Windows XP and Office System Deployment" DVD promotes deployment of Windows(R) XP and Microsoft(R) Office across enterprise businesses. The piece illustrated the benefits to businesses of deploying both Windows and Office. It offers a wide range of content through an elegant, compelling Flash user interface and includes search functionality as well as a DVD map.
