16/07/2020

--

Stephen Arnold Music came up big at NewscastStudio's annual Broadcast Production Awards, picking up four awards - including Best Overall Use of Music for CNN America's Choice Debate Super Open , a fully orchestrated, three-act music score. Other honors came for the studio's work for China Global Television Network (CGTN), Scripps Television Stations and WDAF/FOX 4 Kansas City.

Now in its 11th year, the Broadcast Production Awards honor creatives in broadcast and streaming media across a variety of formats, including production and set designers, motion graphics designers, composers and product engineers. Other honorees included CCTV, CNN, NBC Sports and Sky News.

Stephen Arnold Music's See the Difference, a promo for CGTN, won for Custom Music For Promotions. Part of a multifaceted image campaign, the uplifting 60-second piece communicates the breadth and scope of CGTN's international news coverage.

Super Open was used in the opening to CNN's Democratic presidential debates. The robust orchestral score captures the drama and anticipatory atmosphere of the event through a stirring blend of live trumpets, trombones, French horns, strings and percussion.
