The Overall Winner: Jim Reed for 'Making a Difference'
A beautifully shot film to highlight the plight of big game birds, and particularly the vulture.
Shot at a conservation park in Andover as a family day out, Jim had originally shown this 50 frames per second film last year but club projection problems spoiled the occasion and prompted a committee investigation for a solution.
Jim said, ‘Following the projection problems I also decided to re-edit the video, write a new script, add my own voice-over, and cut the length by half, all of which I think made it much more focused.’
‘I was delighted that it won so many awards tonight!’
Jim was Awarded:
The Jackson Trophy for Overall Winner
The Moorey Award for Best Documentary
The Dick Hibberd Trophy for Best Camerawork
The Pat Doherty Award for the Best Use of Sound

If this narrow gauge railway was located in North Wales it would be operated by bands of attentive volunteers who would maintain it to the highest standard, but as the narrator says “this is Italy”.
