RECENT EXPOSURES

Murder Times Two. The second of two episodes of The Forensic Files, produced by Mac Troy Communications Corporation for nationwide airing on cable's Court TV channel, has just wrapped shooting. Mac spent several days in the Fort Worth area, producing the story of a beautiful teenage girl who killed her father. Look for the tragic story of Marie Robards in the late spring. If you missed "Nursery Crimes," also on The Forensic Files, last November, keep checking--it's in reruns. It, too, was produced by MTCC. RPK Video shot both episodes.

Up On The Rooftop. And we're not talking Santa Claus. From Puerto Rico to Los Angeles, to St. Louis, Chicago, Charleston...MTCC and Hartland Productions spent most of December and January in the air and on the rooftops of huge buildings, telling the story of Aduddell Roofing--an amazing Oklahoma company that does large (think General Motors, Ford, Graybar, Wyndham) commercial jobs in all fifty states and beyond. The result, now going nationwide on video CD, is a 12-minute presentation that tells why Aduddell has become what might well be called the SWAT team of American roofers.

Bob Wins Big in November. It wasn't just the television and radio spots created and produced by MTCC, but they were certainly part of the mix as Corporation Commission Chairman Bob Anthony won a crushing victory in the last statewide election. No re-counts needed here; Commissioner Anthony goes back for six more years standing up for Oklahoma ratepayers. Videography was by Mark Welch, post by Hartland.

Red Tie Night, the annual benefit for the Oklahoma Aids Care Fund, raised over $450,000 this year. Was it the MTCC-produced video that pushed up the auction bidding to record levels? Well... we'll take some of the credit. Chairman Mike McAuliffe (Bledsoe, Norick McAuliffe Advertising) and the amazing Jackie Cooper get the lion's share. It was the third consecutive year that Mac has produced the auction video for Red Tie Night. CableRep Advertising provided post-production facilities.

All The King's Horses And All The King's Men... Humpty-Dumpty just needed a good orthopedic surgeon. Too bad for him the Orthopaedic and Reconstructive Research Foundation wasn't around then. Fortunately for Oklahomans, it's around now. For the second year, ORRF tapped MTCC to write and produce the video for their annual fundraiser gala. The subject this year was some very good news--the imminent opening of the Working Poor Free Orthopedic Clinic. RPK Video handled shooting and post.

Who's full of hot air? There was a LOT of it at Balloon Fest 2000--inside the balloons and out. MTCC and Hartland Productions braved blazing temperatures and unfriendly winds to produce the official event video.

Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? Probably everyone who responded to the 30-minute infomercial MTCC wrote and produced last spring for airing across the Southwest by First National Mortgage USA. Featuring 18 actors and multiple locations in Texas, it was shot and edited by RPK Video.

Also Last Spring: Corporate video work for Oklahoma (and beyond) furniture marketing legends Mathis Brothers and the annual O.U. Arts Classic Run promo for KOCO TV.

And Now This.... The University of Oklahoma's SATTRN project has picked MTCCto produce a marketing video for their client, the Oklahoma Department of Human Services. The subject is One Church One Child, an organization that encourages the adoption of African-American children in state care. Oklahoma City radio personality Ron Williams provides the announcer track for the show. RPK shot, SATTRN handles editing.

Close Your Eyes and Listen: Not everything MTCC does has moving pictures. Mac creates radio for Audio Dimensions ("Home of the Good Stuff and Great Customer Care") and plays the part of sometimes-pompous newscaster Mac Wordley.

Stay tuned. There's more to come.

 

Documentaries

Working with subjects as diverse as Ozark Mountain music, free-flowing rivers, mountain-climbing, AIDS, education, juvenile crime and Oklahoma's oil woes -- to name only a few -- Mac Troy has written, directed and produced more than two dozen prime-time documentaries.

His 1990 documentary, Western Heritage, won the Gold Award at the Houston International Film Festival.

 

Corporate and special-purpose productions. A small sampling:

--Training and marketing programs written and produced for Robertson-Star (a major international designer and manufacturer of pre-engineered steel building systems) are in use -- translated into five languages -- around the world.

--The Community Council of Central Oklahoma still uses the 1997 Mac Troy production, Vital Signs, to spread its message about the overall condition of the Oklahoma City Metropolitan area.

--The Agricultural Aviation Association (that would be crop-dusters, to most of us) continues nationwide showing of "The Growing Role of the Aerial Applicator," produced in 1990 for Larry Smith Advertising.

--The city of Hot Springs, Arkansas, aired "Look Up, Hot Springs" nationwide for more than two years. This 22-minute tourism special, shot and released on film, was produced by Dungan-Troy Films, where Mac was managing partner/creative director.

 

Television commercials/promotions.

Way too many to mention. That would be somewhere in the neighborhood of ten thousand. He has written and directed national commercials for Jimmy Dean Sausage, political spots for Bill Clinton, scores of commercials for Dillard's Department Stores, in addition to hundreds of other clients both large and small.

In his recent position as assistant director of creative services for KOCO-TV5, he created hundreds of promotional spots and worked closely with the transition of the Oklahoma City television market from one measured by Nielson diaries to one in which television ratings are now collected nightly by meters in viewers' homes.

 

Special Event Telecasts.

As Special Projects Manager for KOCO-TV, Mac produced more than 30 hours of coverage -- both live and on tape -- of Oklahoma City's award-winning Aerospace America Airshow from 1986 to 1994. This included live primetime specials, daytime shows from the flightline and 90-minute highlights tapes for mail-order sale.

He produced the first several of KOCO's live telecasts of high football and basketball championship games, as well as the finals of the IGA Tennis classic.

And, from 1986 until the event was discontinued in 1997, he was producer and primary writer of the annual Five Who Care Awards telecast, a live prime-time show recognizing outstanding Oklahoma volunteers. In 1995, this elegant black-tie gala became the first event ever broadcast live from the National Cowboy Hall of Fame's beautiful Sam Noble Special Events Center.

 

Advertising campaigns.

Experienced as an advertising agency creative director, as well as copy chief and broadcast manager, Mac understands the process of building a coordinated campaign that focuses tightly across multiple media. Whether you're selling products, services or ideas, chances are you can't afford to have your message scattered.

 

Print.

Not all the images that move us are moving pictures. Strong ideas and good writing, paired with effective photos and graphics, still get the job done.

For recent samples of Mac's print work, see your next Blazers program; look for the KOCO ad featuring Mark Ockerbloom in a cloud of flying ice; or, if you can still find one, check out KOCO's Y2K brochure, distributed in December by Mathis Brothers Furniture.
