Byron Meo, President of the Meo Group, was launching The California Distressed Asset Fund to use investor money to purchase distressed homes in Southern California from their owners and lease them back to them while helping rehabilitate their credit and prepare them to buy back their homes. 

The Meo Group entrusted 1545 Media with the task of creating a series of videos to promote the launch of the fund.  Our client asked us to develop stories that both educated the homeowner facing foreclosure and the investor looking for a safe and profitable investment opportunity.  Our work took us to cities throughout Southern California, documenting the stories of families helped by the fund, while developing a compelling reason for investors to put their money into The California Distressed Asset Fund.

1545 Media is excited to announce the opening of our office in sunny San Diego. Our new team of live event production coordinators and video producers are ready to help clients who may need a sound system for their conference, lighting designer for their special event, or a video produced for their fundraising campaign or product launch.

When Loyola High School of Los Angeles was planning their 38th Annual Interchange Auction event, they went to 1545 Media for their live event audio system needs. Our audio engineers were challenged with providing a live event sound system in a venue which has been historically difficult due to its lack of acoustical treatments. The team was able to overcome the challenges of the room by providing a zoned sound system that guaranteed clear and strong sound anywhere in the room and ensured an enjoyable experience for everyone.

Loyola’s Interchange auction is responsible for generating approximately $750,000 annually to continue the Jesuit education. “As an alum, I’m proud to be part of Loyola’s continued success at Interchange,” commented Justin Hornick ’02.

1545 Media joined forces with St. John’s Seminary to use video podcasting to extend the reaches of their roundtable discussion on the art of catholic institutional fund raising. Our production team interviewed attendees of the event to gather sound bites and covered the panelist’s presentations to in order to provide a full representation of the day’s activities.

Today, 1545 Media is proud to announce that it will produce Los Angeles Archdiocese’s 20th annual Cardinal’s Awards Dinner at Hollywood and Highland. Our Production Management team is responsible for coordinating the lighting, audio, and video needs for the event. Our lighting designer created a customized lighting plot taking into account the colors and decorations of the room and used some of the industry’s best lights to set the theme for the night. 1545 Media’s production department provided a live event sound system to accomodate a 26,000 square foot dining room while our video team produced image magnification for 20 foot screens to allow attendees in even back of the dining room to clearly see every part of the evening.

1545 Media has been retained by event marketing company, OnBoard Entertainment, to provide video and photography services for two projects aimed at using fitness to raise funds for charities. Our work included providing live event video production for focus group sessions which allowed our client to review the feedback of athletes on creative ways to fundraise through fitness based activities. Other work included providing on-location photography to document the success of a multi-national company’s employee leadership building event.

1545 Media is working with Loyola Marymount University’s School of Education to produce Dr. Shane P. Martin’s Convocation Speech live event video. Our team is responsible for lighting design, audio mixing, and video production of the event. With the direction of Howard Ritter, we successfully produced the event for a live audience of nearly 100 people. The event was recorded in High Definition video and will be edited for DVD and Web distribution.

“We’re honored to serve the university in it’s efforts to create awareness of K-12 education in Los Angeles.” commented Justin Hornick, Owner. “Our team is proud to produce such an important event. The room was bursting at the seams with people eager to see Dr. Martin’s report on the successes of LMU’s School of Education in shaping the future in Los Angeles.”

Dr. Martin’s Convocation is his 6th annual event held each November to inform members of the education community on the work of LMU’s faculty, staff, and students to cultivate change in LA’s educational system. The combination of Dr. Martin’s desire to use technology in education and 1545 Media’s expertise in using new media solutions to convey a message was a natural fit for the project.
