Alameda County Fair Wins First place WFA Award for "Innovative Advertising using Technology" via ACF Television Web Video
The use of online video was recognized as an effective way to bring people to the Alameda County Fair. Videos were shot daily as well as featured stories produced behind the scenes. The videos were produced by Pat Mosca for ACFTV. The Western Fairs Association recently awarded the Alameda County Fair with 36 awards for its work in producing the 2008 Alameda County Fair.
Composer Pat Mosca recently completed music and sound design for the Pleasanton Satellite Wagering's 60 second commercial for Television. The spot will run on ESPN during the Breeders Cup. The spot was designed around a "movie trailer theme" and features a dramatic score with full sound design and effects. The video will be featured on their website along with other informative online videos about the sport. Along with TV advertising the Satellite uses Pay Per Click advertising as well as e-newsletters to capture the under 35 group. The spot was edited by Jim Manalisay of Ascension Digital Films. The spot is also part of The Pleasanton Satellite Wagering online marketing campaign.
Saturday Night Live remembered!
Pat Mosca shares his appearance on the famed SNL with the Greg Kihn Band. Over the years people have constantly asked me about my rock and roll days as the keyboard player for the Greg Kihn Band. Well as I was going through the archives I found an old videotape of Saturday Night Live. The episode featured Howard Cosell as the guest host and The Greg Kihn Band (and me) the musical guest. Read the Story and watch the video.
Endependence.info is slated to be the most comprehensive energy information portal of its kind. With information on Hybrids, Solar Power, Contractors, lot’s of video, and more . Producer, and voice over talent Doug Reid has been hard at work developing, “from concept to video”, a plethora of content, rich with information and the sites and sound of energy independence. This is another great example of how to use online video for the web. The video production is quick and pinpoints the information.
Composer, Pat Mosca creates two jingles for Nations Hamburgers. Two commercials for Nations Hamburgers are now airing on Bay Area television stations, a result of the collaboration between Tam Communications and Nations' agency Barnestorming of Los Gatos. Jim Barnes of Barnestorming was the creative director for the spots with Tam O'Connor Fraser as director/cinematographer.
Mosca's original compositions and sound designs also enhance web sites, live events, and multimedia programs. Former keyboardist for the Greg Kihn band and musician of all genres, Mosca excels at composing in any style, from country to classical to hip hop. Years of experience have also made him the ultimate partner as a producer.
For Executive Producer Tam O'Connor Fraser, this project is the culmination of a life-long affection for the Coast Guard and specifically for their involvement in the Vietnam War. Tam and his partner, Executive Producer/Writer Susan O'Connor Fraser, dove head-first into research and story development including contacting some of the true heroes of the Coast Guard in Vietnam.
The musical score was to be less nostalgic and more “action fighting”, giving it a sense of danger at all times. Trying to parallel the day to day danger in Viet Nam.
