Happy New Year to All

We wish you all a Happy New Year. Here's our crew getting ready for what will come.

California State University, Northridge

We have been asked by California State University, Northridge to produce a video celebrating their 50th anniversary.

Dr. Vance Peterson, Vice President for University Advancement, and Michael McManus, Assistant VP for Marketing and Communications, are leading the project for CSUN. They will launch the video at a gala celebration at the university, September 22.

Operation Smile Spots

We just finished a series of TV and Web spots for Operation Smile and advertising agency The Russ Reid Company.

The TV Spots, a 60 and a 120, will play on NBC during the olympics. The spots feature Billy Bush and children who have been helped by Operation Smile around the world.

60 second, 30 second, and a 15 second spots have been encoded to flash files that will be streamed from Operation Smile's website.

Operation Smile was recently recognized as Non-Profit of the Year. Congratulations!

I just got word from Megan Quick, one of our special friends and Operation Smile mission recovery nurses, who is appearing in the new series for ABC that was shot at Hopkins. She is one of the reasons that our show in Venezuela has done so well. When Russell and I were in Ethiopia last November for Operation Smile, Megan was there working her magic at the Jimma location.

Hi Will,
How are you?  i wanted to let you know about a documentary that I will be in on ABC, looking at the physicians and nurses lives at Hopkins.  You already
know so much about an important part of my life (OpSmile), but this looks to be a good series. 
Just for the record (and don't tell the ABC folk) you guys were a lot more fun to film with, partly because you let me play with the equipment.
Here is the link... Note I am the non-doctor.

It's thursdays this fall and I probably won't be on til later in the series, but  it should be a good show, none-the-less.
Hope all is well.
Megan

William Moffitt Associates worked with writer/creative director Boni Peluso and Producer Rick Shoup to produce a spot for Big Bear Lake, California called "June Gloom." Voice talent is Tom Kane. Music composed by Dan Radlauer.

We just heard that the June Gloom spot was one of three finalists for best tourism television spot in California at the Cal TIA (California Tourism Industry Association) meeting last week in Palm Springs. The other two finalists were spots for the San Diego Wild Animal Park (which won the category and was overall Best in Show) and Sea World, both with at least 10 times the production budget.

Arizona Biltmore

We're working on a video for the Arizona Biltmore Resort & Spa in Phoenix for client Jim Cox & Associates. The video will be used by the Biltmore's sales staff and on the Biltmore's website, http://www.arizonabiltmore.com

Hopefully, we'll get it complete before our team leaves for Bolivia next week with World Vision and TV personality Alex Trebek.

And, we are finishing up and getting out to TV stations a new one-hour television special for Operation Smile and client Russ Reid Company. This show features Operations Smile missions to Ethiopia and Venezuela and the children whose lives have been forever changed by a simple 45-minute cleft lip operation.

Big Bear Lake Spots

The WMA team is at it again. This time we are teaming up with Rick Shoup and Boni Peluso once again for a series of spots for the Big Bear Lake Resort Association enticing people to head for the "cool" mountain experience of Big Bear Lake.

We'll be laying down the voice talent track, mixing and sending the finished spots out this week.
