Day 2 of the BBC Media Action Video Production Workshop was a success today following a dedicated field training with the team from newly established District Development Authority overseeing the Fono Faavae Program.

Todays newsrooms and communications units are facing limited human resources but effective storytelling is everyone's business and learning to adapt and challenge yourself to learn new skills can unlock the story teller in you.

Today Fiji Broadcast Corp's Multimedia Journalist/Editor, Apen*sa Waikairadovu, took the DDA staff through basic video shots, photo/video composition, video interviews, basic sound engineering on mobile phones so they can produce better visual stories for diverse media channels.

Malo lava to the team for their efforts in completing video story products today - keep up the great work! UK in Samoa

Fine Mat Creative is proud to once again partner with the Pacific Water and Wastewater Association (PWWA) as Communications Specialist, coordinating the awareness and visibility campaign for the 17th PWWA Conference & Expo.

We’re excited to share the official teaser video introducing this year’s branding and theme, Vai Ora | Living Water, as French Polynesia prepares to welcome the Pacific to its shores for the region’s premier water and wastewater event.

This year’s visual identity was developed by our design partner, Hanga Studio whose exceptional work once again demonstrates the strength of Fine Mat Creative’s collaborative approach. We believe the best ideas are often created collectively, bringing together a network of talented Pacific creatives, strategists, designers and storytellers under the Fine Mat Creative umbrella to deliver distinctive, high-quality communications that are both globally polished and authentically Pacific.
