And the winner is... Schnellecke trainees win the golden IHK Oscar

Our trainees won 1st place in the IHK video film competition organised by the Chamber of Industry and Commerce and thus prevailed over 20 other film submissions.

This year our trainees won 1st place in the IHK video film competition of the IHK Lüneburg - Wolfsburg. The trainee team happily received the award and the prize money of € 500.00. The award ceremony took place on 28 October in the house of the IHK Lüneburg. A great evening at the cinema was organised with popcorn, candyfloss, candies and soft drinks. The focus was of course on the presentation of the various films, the award ceremonies and the interviews with the winners. Out of 21 participating companies or created films, our contribution was judged by a jury as the best in the points of acting, content, sound and editing and was chosen as the winner. 

"All in all, the quality and creativity of all submitted videos was great. The winning film convinced the jury because the Schnellecke trainees presented their training company and their profession with a lot of enthusiasm, dynamics and demanding camera work", said Jury member and IHK President Andreas Kirschenmann to first place.

The path to the finished film, whose motto "Back to the future - changing job profiles yesterday-today-tomorrow" had to be taken into account, was accompanied by many organisational measures. From forming the team, creating the storyboard, procuring the props, contacting the contact persons, organising the IT equipment (hardware/software), to perfect editing and background music. 

The team had a lot of fun with the various film shoots at our locations in Wolfsburg and Soltau. But it also showed how exhausting it can be to shoot the scenes many times until everything is well coordinated "in the can". 

In consultation with the trainee team, the company also decided to donate the prize money to "ready 4work". The development association supports additional apprenticeship places of the RegionalVerbund e.V., Wolfsburg. 

At this point, congratulations once again to the winning team - we are very pleased about this award.
