Author Interview : Sarang Padhye

Hello everyone,
Today I am going to introduce you to the author of ' Screenwriting For TV Commercials'

Let's start!

1)First of all introduce yourself to the readers.
I’m an Electronics & Telecommunication Engineer. Being extremely fond of movies
since childhood, I started reading screenplays in college. Analyzing famous movies and TV
commercials became a regular thing for me. In my spare time, I started writing TV
advertisements on whichever topic I found interesting. Having written over 40
commercials so far, I thought about publishing my own guide on writing only for commercials. This book is the only guide out there which covers everything about writing advertisements.
I’m a digital marketer. Apart from my day job, he loves cooking, reading novels, chit
chat on movies and theatre.

2) Tell me something about your e-book  'Screenwriting for TV Commercials'
This is the most simplest guide out there. Even a kid (with a little imagination) can write a commercial after reading this. We see TV Commercials every day and skip them. But there are so many we still remember. Everyone has a favourite. How does this all work and where does the process start? It’s all in the ebook along with format and famous =books on screenwriting.

3)What inspired you to write on this Topic?
Watching commercials on TV I always felt I can write this better or this scene could have been different. Being an avid reader I searched books on screenwriting for Ads, as it is totally different from writing scripts for movies. I couldn’t find any so I gathered info about the format and style after researching Google and blogs, started writing on any random product that we usually see on TV. I have written over 40 commercials so far in the last couple of years. Then, I thought I should write a guide about this as such a guide is not available anywhere. So I worked on it for 4 months and published it on Kindle.

5)As a child what did you want to do when you grew up?
I wanted to be a film maker. I love Films, Ads and the process that goes into making them right from an idea.

6)Which is your favourite TV commercial and Why?
There are so many. I would name the Fevicol commercial series in the late 90’s in India as my top favourites. They delivered a perfect message with so little effort on dialogs
Another one of my favourites is the Chevy’s Car commercial by Michael Bay in 1995-96. It has terrific music and camera work. Very difficult to write in that way.

7)Are you planning any other books?
I’m not planning any other books as of now. But I’m thinking of writing a novel in the next 2 years.

8)What advice do you have for your readers?
I have never thought what others would feel if I failed in something. Confidence, patience & learning with a open mind can get you anywhere in life. If you are wish to write something, just take a pen & paper and jot it down. Slowly, you’ll get the confidence to write a book. The first few steps are always hard. Take the leap.

Thanks for reading.
