Amazing! I sit here amazed at the public television show that I just watched. Today I tuned into Channel 13 (the public broadcasting station that is based in New Jersey. It just happened that a show called Rick Steve's Travel Kit was in mid-session. For an amazing fee (which is a donation to the station), viewers and readers (there are books) can be right there at Rick Steve's side in Europe.
The sites were amazing. Well, since I have never been to Europe, they were amazing sites to me. Sure, I have seen these sites in books, but the way that Rick Steve presented Europe and many other countries, made me feel like I was right there. I felt like I had just got off the plane with Rick and with his camera crew.
This show was a combination of a story about touring through Europe and also a story about touring with a complete field production crew. I loved the part where they discussed pre-production, production and post-production, in the field. That brought back memories of my own television schooling to me. Rick showed the equipment, the cameras, and talked about the process of this production that completed the Rick Steve Europe 101.
Usually, when you watch travel shows, all you get to see is the spotlight on particular well-known sightseeing landmarks, cities or buildings. However with Rick's show that was just on Channel 13, the viewers got a birds-eye view of the pre-production, production and post-production processes, plus the viewer saw amazing historical sites.
The soothing music that accompanied the production was from APM Music Productions, and itt was taped in Europe (and in many other countries). Steve focused on Europe and talked about many other countries. What I loved about the prodcution also was there were no commercials but there were sponsors like Bread for the World.
It was a pleasure to see the equipment, the backgrounds, the sites, the tourists, and the crew (a minimal crew) in this wonderful documentary, a narrated documentary about Europe and other foreign countries (from the viewpoint of being in America). To all newer producers and even to seasoned producers I recommend this show and any similar show that features tours through Europe and other countries.
The learning experience is awesome and most rewarding. For those of you who have been to Europe and the other countries, you will still enjoy this television show on Channel Thirteen from a memory point of view and you can relive your own journies through Europe through Rick Steve's eyes and voice.
