At a busy video production company there’s not too much that makes us stop and pause, but being nominated for an Emmy is one of those things. FiveCore Media was nominated for a regional Emmy award this year for its “A Festival of Carols” video, which aired in December 2015 on PBS stations in Indiana. This is the second straight year we were nominated for an Emmy award. An awards ceremony will take place on June 18, 2015 in Sandusky, OH were the winners will be announced.

FiveCore was nominated in the Special Event Coverage category alongside WFYI in Indianapolis, WTHR in Indianapolis, WVIZ/PBS in Cleavland, Ohio and WTVG in Toledo, Ohio. The Lower Great Lakes Chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (NATAS) includes stations and production companies from Indianapolis, Cleveland, Toledo, Ft. Wayne, Erie and other outlying markets in the region. So we really mean it when we say it’s a huge honor to be nominated in the company of large media market stations.

Our production of Goshen College’s annual Christmas extravaganza, “A Festival of Carols,” involved nine camera locations, several hundred feet of cabling, 11 student crew members, three days of shooting and the efforts of several different campus departments. The result is a festive 54-minute program that captures the spirit of Christmas at Goshen College and an opportunity for FiveCore to produce a live-to-tape event.

This honor belongs to our talented Goshen College students, our show producer Taylor Stansberry and the talented faculty, staff and students of the Music Department. After getting the opportunity to attend the Emmy ceremony last year it was evident how rare the company is that our students and FiveCore are a part of.
