This Saturday August 21st, 4Syte TV will host producers of various music videos submitted earlier on for nominations, at its offices at Lartebiokorshie in Accra.
“This is to clean up the list and deliberate on changes expected in this year's show”. This was disclosed to Hi Newspaper, over the weekend, by Ignace Hego, boss of 4Syte TV, the popular weekend entertainment show on TV3.
The highly successful first edition of 4syte Music Video Awards (MVAs) in 2008 was mainly sponsored by Zain. At the time of this interview, Ignace was not ready to disclose the sponsors of this year's event. “It is definitely going to be a telecom outfit, but, which one; we will announce at the launch later in the month”.
What impact has the MVAs had on the industry, Ignace hints “because of the MVAs, musicians are now motivated to produce more than just one music video per album unlike before. Today, Obrafour, Mzbel, V.I.P, etc have more than a video for their respective new album”, he said
“As for the production outfits, they are currently challenged, partly courtesy of VMAs, to bring out the very best pictures hence most of them have acquired state-of-the-art equipment. For instance, the new 7D cameras are very common at most production houses”.
Judges for this year's show are B.B Menson (M.D. Radio Gold), Ramesh Jai (Apex Advertising) and Ivan Quarshigah (Farmhouse). The TV Show will be hosted by Jeremie Van-Garshong, a regular host of 4Syte TV.
4Syte Music Video award 2010 is likely to come off on October 16 or November 20, 2010 at the Accra International Conference Centre. Watch out for exclusive interviews with the judges on 4Syte TV this weekend.
