Louie Stevens — writer, producer, director and owner of Magic Music Productions, is honored to have just been asked to join the International Telly Awards Silver Council. Only video producers who consistantly produce the best videos are asked to be on the Telly Awards Silver Council, who then judge other video entries for awards.
Louie created two Silver Tellys (the highest award), in the past two years — for Seaside Center for Spiritual Living, and for Casa de Amparo. In addition, in 2004 Louie was awarded a "Best of the Best" 25th Anniversary Gold Telly Award for his Welcome Back Centers video he produced.

 Two of our clients projects were recently awarded a Silver Communicator Award. The Communicator Awards are administered by the International Academy of the Visual Arts. Each year there are 8,500+ videos entered which — rather then being judged against each other, are judged on their own individual merits. We were awarded Silver Communicator Awards of Distinction for our client SelfHelpWorks new eight hour web training video, and for our client ChaosOver's two hour web training video.

In 2007 we were awarded four International TELLY Awards. The TELLY Awards are like the "Oscars" for non-broadcast video productions. Each year there are 13,000+ entries which — rather then being judged against each other, are judged on their own individual merits.
 We were awarded a Silver TELLY for the "Seaside Center for Spirtual Living" video. The Silver Telly Award is the top Telly Award — a "first place", and is rather difficult to get. In fact, of the 13,000+ entries in 2007, only about 600 were awarded a Silver TELLY — less than 5% of the entrants, making this a very special honor for us and for "Seaside Center for Spirtual Living" .
 We also were awarded three Bronze TELLY's (Second place). About 2,500 of the 13,000+ entries in 2007 were awarded a Bronze TELLY.
We won for our updated "Welcome Back" video, "Eddie Osterland, America's 1st Master Sommelier", and the third for "Wealth Masters... Shopping and Cooking with Deanna for Optimum Health".
We also were awarded two Honorable Mentions in the highly prestigeous Columbus International Film & Video Competition, one for "Eddie Osterland, America's 1st Master Sommelier", and the other for "Wealth Masters... Shopping and Cooking with Deanna for Optimum Health"

SelfHelpWorks
San Diego, CA
Three Internet Self-Help Videos
In 2000, I recorded 24 finished hours of Lou Ryan's three self-help programs: Living Lean (Weight Management), Living Free (Stop Smoking) and Living Smart (Stop Drinking). All three programs are very successful for SelfHelpWorks as internet training programs.
In mid 2007 Lou asked me to film him presenting the first third of each of these three programs to replace the voice only parts of his internet training programs — about 7 & 1/2 hours of finished video.
I filmed Lou in front of a green screen and then created his entire training by scanning art from his book and using graphics, animations, music, clip-art and sound-effects found entirely in my stock library. I've delivered both Living Lean and Living Free, and am now editing Living Smart.
Lou is so pleased with his new videos he is now thinking of having me film and edit the remaining 18 hours of his programs.
