Interview with Xavier Romero
by Animac
K3 Channel (from Televisió de Catalunya)
is putting a strong bet on animation. Xavier Romero,
content editor and co-production coordinator of the
channel, had a talk with Animac and discussed the
keys of the sector.
Q: We would like to talk to you about the programs
oriented towards a young audience. When you were
planning the creation of K3, how did you deal with
age groups? What are the age zones? In literature,
for example, there are certain limits.
A: With K3, you must start by drawing a line between
what is animation, with a very important presence
accounting for more than 70% of our total programs,
and the rest, where our own productions would be
the most important element.
When we talk about animation we are talking about co-productions,
of purchasing an exterior product. As for our own-produced
programs, they are basically documentaries and what
we consider educational television. Of all the different
distinctions that could be made, I would choose to
differentiate between animation and what could be called
strictly programs. In this range we could place the
Club Super 3, 3xl.net and Info-k. These would be the
programs with the clearest identity, what we could
qualify as “mother programs”… |
