Gates Foundation Global Health Award

The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation established the Gates Award for Global Health to recognize an organization that has made a major and lasting contribution to the field of global health.

The 2002 award recipient was Rotary Foundation of Rotary International.  Rotary has contributed more than $462 million toward polio eradication, and has mobilized over one million Rotary members to help immunize more than 2 billion children in 122 countries.

LUX Media 501 was contacted to produce a short tribute video to be used during the awards ceremony. We combined Rotary archive video footage with a voiceover tribute and added a soundtrack and audio sweetening. We were practically in tears throughout the entire project.

We were also flattered to hear that Rotary considered it one of the best pieces about Rotary that they had ever seen. Thanks, Rotary. Keep up the great work.

Amnesty International USA Encoding Services

Amnesty International USA (AIUSA) recognizes the importance of making audio and video content available online. It increases their reach, amplifies their message, and nurtures the sense of community their constituents hold so important. All of these factors result in increased donations and higher levels of participant action.

LUX Media 501 regularly provides its encoding services so that these pieces can be accessible on the AIUSA website. Whether it's an archive of their Annual General Meeting or an urgent message from Susan Sarandon regarding prisoner abuse in Iraq, AIUSA relies on us.
