Departures

Anyone Canadians catch this show? It's been airing on OLN for a few months now. I'm really loving it, really well done and seems more of an adventure type show than a travel show. It's shot entirely on the HVX too.

Their finishing up the 2nd season now and it will start airing on OLN the third week in January. Another 13 episode season and some of the places their traveling to should provide for some great shows and great shots.

It is airing on National Geographic Adventure for anyone outside Canada and I believe it just started, otherwise I don't think it is airing on the American Outdoor channel.

Check it out. Mondays at 10et on OLN.

I watch it every week. I watched it from when it first started, since Scott and Justin are from around where I live. Then as soon as I saw the video from it, I thought, "HVX-200!" And I was right. Andre Dupuis is great with all his camera work. He made a post at Cinematography.com, explaining how he does his work: http://www.cinematography.com/index.php?showtopic=32057&view=findpost&p=249244 I hope he comes to here sometime to share some stories, footage and techniques.

Camera work aside, I think the show is great. They go to a bunch of different places all over the world; places that no other travel shows go to. They went to Libya, and I've never seen that in a travel show before, and since it's Canadian, they can go to Cuba. The show is very funny, since both Scott and Justin have great senses of humor. The music is quite good too, as is the editing. All in all, it's my favorite travel show.

Yeah it is fantastic, the 2nd season started about a month or so ago, so far it has been great.

And yeah Andre Dupuis is awesome, I think he won a Gemini last year too for the first season.

love the show.
Andre is so talented.

does anyone know what he uses for his underwater shots? or what else he shoots with other than the hvx200? (i tried to find his equipment list for the show but having a hard time)
