" Creativity in the
contemporary world can be defined as commercial creativity and
the job of the promo producer is that of an artist who plays
with cinematic tools to create a message that sells an event or
establishes the channel identity." was the essence of the
lecture delivered by Mr. Debangshu Chaudhary Promo producer ESPN
Star Sports.
In 'CMAC Colloquium' series at Rai foundation, Mr. Chaudhary
spoke to the students about the similarities and differences in
advertising films and channel promotional/promo films. He
emphasized that the job of a Promo producer in a news channel is
definitely more hectic as compared to that in a sports channel.
The urgency of producing promotional films in news channels is
as great as the news itself.
Mr. Debangshu has been associated with Television for the past
decade and is with ESPN Star Sports for the last five years out
of which for 2 years he was in Singapore.
