After reading your comment (and before viewing the video), I thought - what can be so lame about a promo? But yeah - it's THE lamest promo ever. It's like some cheesy fan-made video. Heck, I could do better, with my poor video editing skills. I am actually having doubts it is an official CBS promo...
CBS Editor #1: "How about a masterful promo combining every part of our global entertainment franchises and really doing something original and smashing with it? Huh? How about that?"
CBS Editor #2: "Nah, it's almost lunchtime. Just throw some pictures together and let's go have eggnog!"
CBS has never made good promos. They just combine lots of cool scenes together and smacks a few text alongside it, often trying to trick viewers by making two scenes look intertwined. It's like a script. I personally lost all my faith in CBS promos back when CSI: Miami was moved to Sundays. The promo was all "This season, you get CSI: Miami one day earlier!" when it was actually 5 days later -.- I hate that kind of total bullshit. A more recent example is the promo for Under the Dome where it looks like Junior shoots Julia, which wasn't even remotely close to what happened. They do it purposefully, and that annoys the living hell outta me.
CBS deserves to win the total bullshitters award for their promos, and that's why even though I'm surprised at the newbie level of this promo, it joins the lineup of CBS promos that deserve to die
NOTE: Name-calling, personal attacks, spamming, excessive self-promotion, condescending pomposity, general assiness, racism, sexism, any-other-ism, homophobia, acrophobia, and destructive (versus constructive) criticism will get you BANNED from the party.
It's just a 4 seconds video with the springboard logo. :)
ReplyDeleteIs it just me, or the video won't play?
ReplyDeletePlaying just the four-second Sprinboard Player reel.
Lamest promo I've ever seen.
ReplyDeletePlaying fine for me.
ReplyDeleteNow it does :)

It's official, we got it from the CBS site.
ReplyDeleteTry now.
ReplyDeleteNow I see what you mean...
ReplyDeleteWell, bummer.
ReplyDeleteNo offence CBS but this is the worst promo i've ever seen!
ReplyDeleteWat. It's just pictures. Why is this even a promo? Who thought this was a good idea?
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts exactly. A transition effect in Windows Movie Maker and a few random images and you get this. They aren't even trying.
ReplyDeleteMaybe they all took Christmas break early and their children had to step in? :P
No, you know what, skip the "No" part. OFFENCE CBS, this is the worst promo I've ever seen! XD

ReplyDeleteWhat they were thinking?
Wow, and here I thought CBS made good promos. And then, I got this... a minute of my life goes to waste
ReplyDeleteSee my comment responding to Klutzy_girl below. I think I got a pretty good idea on what they were thinking with that comment :P

ReplyDeletemade me think that all cbs shows are bad which really they arent at all. This promo is so bad, even i could do better
ReplyDeletemy dog could have done a better promo
ReplyDeleteWould have been better not to make a promo at all
ReplyDeleteWhat was THAT!?
ReplyDeleteI can create slideshows in Powerpoint. CBS, HIRE ME!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is the worst thing ever created in the universe. I'm not exaggerating.
ReplyDeleteWTF. Fan slideshows are better done! Not only that the video is making me dizzy.
ReplyDeleteA intern was in charge?
ReplyDeleteMusic doesn't suit this promo at all so lame.

ReplyDeleteif so, the poor bastard better think about some other career choices
ReplyDeleteIt like they asked a Freshman in high school to do this. I could do the same thing...maybe even better with windows movie maker.
ReplyDeleteWTF CBS! lol
ReplyDeletereally..it's a bunch of stills...did the marketing budget get cut?
ReplyDeleteThe advertisement played before the video actually interested me more than the promo itself.
ReplyDeleteWhat a BORING promo...
