SPARKS! Wins Two Video and Branding Awards

SPARKS! has been honored twice at the 2015 W3 Awards presented by the Academy of Interactive and Visual Arts.

The Silver Awards for Videography & Cinematography and Promotional & Branding were awarded for SPARKS!’ promo video produced for the book “On Walnut Hill: The Evolution of a Garden.” The video presented an aerial tour of the nationally-recognized Baltimore gardens of A.C. and Penney Hubbard, who’s story and efforts have been shared beautifully in the book by noted gardening author, Kathy Hudson, and award-winning photographer, Roger Foley.

“We’re very proud of how we were able to capture the physical presence and scale of these amazing gardens, and even more proud of the recognition we’ve received from our peers. David Simpson (director of photography) truly has an ability to visually present environments with great perspective of beauty and scale,” said Greg Pierce, president of SPARKS!.
