The DVD Excellence Awards recognize skill, creativity and craftsmanship in DVD creation, authoring and publication.Leon Silverman, Executive Vice President of LaserPacific Media noted, ""These awards illustrate our client's dedication to creating the most innovative DVDs available today. Our customers at New Line constantly strive for the cutting edge of the DVD experience. We are thrilled to be with them on that edge.""""The Cell"" won the Video Excellence Award for Added Value and Special Features, and ""Next Friday"" won for Navigation Design and Implementation.Larry Spangler, Director of Digital Multimedia for the company commented, ""New Line works hard to make DVDs that are exciting and involving. Working with that team and collaborating with the menu design firms (1K Studios on ëThe Cellí and with Angry Monkey on ëNext Fridayí), we were proud to help make their extremely creative decisions function.""Jay Sherbon, Senior DVD Author and Director of Research & Development, authored both discs, saying, ""The navigation system for ëNext Fridayí is laid out like a virtual map of the suburbs depicted in the film. The menu design mimics a VHS videotape player with rewind, stop, fast forward and directional map functions that lead you through the disc. Its humorous and seemingly simplistic interface belies a sophisticated navigational system.""The special features on ëThe Cell,í on the other hand, are elegant and unusual, just like the film. An interactive empathy game and multi-camera options are just two of the rich special features that our customers at New Line wanted to put into the experience.""Silverman concluded, ""Our goal at LaserPacific has been to continually define the medium. We're fortunate to work with the best and the brightest people in DVD - our collaborators, our staff and our clients. We are very proud of the consistently excellent efforts, and appreciate it when these efforts are noticed.""The DVD Excellence awards are sponsored by the DVD Association, which represents the largest and most influential group of interactive digital media developers worldwide.For more information about LaserPacific Media, visit www.laserpacific.com.
