JUST ANNOUNCED - Shanghai Expo ICP Pavilion Receives Esteemed THEA Award for Groundbreaking Interactive Mobile Device ~ Media content Produced/Directed by Mindi !

The Themed Entertainment Association announced the recipients of the 2010 THEA Awards at last week’s IAAPA convention (International Association of Amusement Parks & Attractions) in Orlando, and... the first-of-it’s-kind custom interactive mobile device, for which Mindi produced & directed over 40 interactive and animated segments and games, received the THEA Award for the best “Integration of Technology and Storytelling”! Mindi was part of the team from BRC Imagination Arts, who built and produced the entire pavilion. Mindi's Media producing/directing efforts have helped contribute to at least 6 other awards for the Information and Communications Pavilion including two gold 2010 Event Design Awards: Best Interactive Element and Best Use of Media/AV. The Pavilion also won three Honorable Mentions in Exhibitor Magazine's awards for the Shanghai 2010 World Expo: Best Use of Technology, Best Presentation and People's Choice. The pavilion, sponsored by China Mobile and China Telecom, hosted over 3 million visitor in only 6 months, and was one of the most popular pavilions at the Shanghai World’s Expo.
