Nov 12, 2000.
CAPE CANAVERAL, FL, 12 November, 2000 --- The Florida Motion Picture and Television Association (FMPTA) recently gave two awards to Communications Concepts, Inc. (CCI), including a Crystal Reel for the Best Corporate Film or Video/Special Program produced in the state.

The Awards were presented at the Crystal Reel Awards Gala in Tampa, Florida Saturday night, November 11th. The awards are presented annually to recognize outstanding achievement in Film and Television production in the State of Florida. The Sea Launch Mission Profile video, which CCI produced, was judged superior and was awarded top honors. Jim Lewis produced and directed the video for CCI that explains how Sea Launch provides a new reliable way to launch commercial communications satellites. In his acceptance speech, Lewis thanked Sea Launch for allowing CCI to be a part of this exciting project. He noted that, while shooting provided many challenges, it was a great story about how a team of truly international partners was successfully brought together to develop a whole new way of launching rockets from an oil drilling rig in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Lewis also thanked his CCI production team on the project: writers Doug & Susan Kohl; field producers John Bober & Paul Mitton; aerial videographers Alan D. Purwin and Video Editor Jason Morris,

FMPTA also recognized CCI Editor, Jason Morris, with a Silver Award for videotape editing on the Communications Concepts Corporate Overview. When Morris received the award he concluded by saying, "It is great to work at a company like CCI where creative work is nurtured and allowed to flourish." This was the second award for editing that Morris has been given by FMPTA.
