New Member Of The Team Helps Film Residential Property Awards Video

Our video skills were used yet again to kick off the prestigious Yorkshire Residential Property Awards at this year’s event, held in the beautiful surroundings of Bowcliffe Hall.

And a new member of the Good Call Media filming team was on hand to make the project a big success. Will Hermes Harper, who is studying Media, together with other subjects, at Ilkley Grammar School, acted as Assistant Cameraman during the week of the shooting for the video. Will filmed a number of sequences, including a sequence involving Correspondent, Nik Wood, at a property on the Rudding Park Estate which was shortlisted for an award.

“Will played a key role in helping us to put together a colourful and dynamic video for this year’s awards,” said Nik, who is Co-owner of Good Call Media. “He also filmed a number of sequences involving properties in Harrogate and York that were used in the final video so he played a significant role in our contract for the event.”

Good Call Media also produce the video that flagged up the Residential Property Personality of the Year Award. You can see the video by clicking here.

Ian Cartwright, a partner at Carter Jonas, won Personality of the Year. Ian is renowned for advising landowners on residential development potential. John Webster, who has worked with him for 30 years, says: “He has a knowledgeable, calm and even-handed approach. His patience, intelligence and ability to help clients understand the system has helped him win and retain business. Property Post asked Ian for his thoughts on property and planning. Here’s what he said:

*Land is coming to market in much bigger quantities than it was before and new-build houses are selling well, thanks, in part, to the Help to Buy schemes. One of the issues with this is that developers are concentrating on the most sought-after places, like Harrogate, Leeds, Sheffield and York, because they can. In Harrogate there hasn’t been a major housing development for 15 years and now there are going to be nine housebuilders there. It’s getting harder to sell land in East Yorkshire as a result so there is a polarisation.”
