Real Orchestral Music for Silk Soy Milk

Leo Burnett, U.S.A. called on Steve Ford of Steve Ford Music to create a new musical identity for their Silk Soy Milk product line - and Steve called on Mark to arrange and orchestrate 5 different spots for 4 products in the Silk line. Mark realized Steve's vision of "Beethoven meets National Treasure" with an all-live 35-piece orchestra. The campaign (entitled "Strength in Every Pour") features high-end digital animation for Silk Chocolate, Vanilla, Original and Pure Almond flavors and has been airing nationally since January 2010. You can see a couple of the spots on YouTube.com at these links:

Mark "Believes" in The Cubs

Mark helped old friend Steve Ford of Steve Ford Music arranging and orchestrating two long scoring cues for the John Scheinfeld documentary film, "We Believe" - all about the Chicago Cubs baseball team, their fans and their home: Wrigley Field.  The film, narrated by actor Gary Sinise, uses celebrity interviews by Bob Costas, Dennis Franz, Hugh Hefner, Bonnie Hunt, George Will, Joe Mantegna and many more to help tell the story of being a Cub fan...the many triumphs and disappointments.  The film had public screenings at the world-famous Chicago Theatre and will go on to festivals and (hopefully) some cable-TV play.
