Shooting Parts Unknown
My favorite thing to watch on CNN—maybe they only thing I like to watch on CNN (other than Brian Stelter's show, Reliable Sources)—is Anthony Bourdain's Parts Unknown. It's a culinary-travel show that's immensely entertaining. If you've not seen it, you must check it out. My wife and I will watch him on Sunday nights, then binge-watch the reruns.
A man with a colorful background ("First We Feast" has a descriptive profile, but not BYU-approved—so sorry, no link), Bourdain is witty, blunt, insightful and his show is addicting. But of particular interest to this class is the videography. In a word: outstanding.
Here's a video podcast where the Bourdain's videographer, Zach Zamboni (I wonder whether he likes hockey), talks about his work. Topics covered include:
Staying inspired and keeping it fresh
The secrets behind Zach’s favorite episodes
Zach’s shooting and lighting philosophy
How to inspire a creative process that changes week to week
The equipment needed for easy travel around the world
Stories from some of the most interesting places on earth
Working with Anthony Bourdain
and much more!
