I only caught one episode of this Travel Channel reality show, but from what I
watched, it looked like a fairly decent program (given the enormous variety of good and bad “real-life” TV we have to
choose from these days). 5 Takes followed
five aspiring filmakers around Europe for two months as they created individual short films that communicated their
personal travel experience. Any travel that doubles as a resume-booster is a good thing, right? These creative geniuses
are able to put more than just “Former Reality TV Star” below their name and have a completed documentary film under
their belt. Nice.
Now it’s your turn. The Travel Channel is currently
looking for the next five travel journalists
to star in season two, which will take place in a yet-to-be announced location. (Don’t ask me why but I have this hunch
it will be Asia?! Just a guess…) Casting closes at 11:59 p.m. on New Year’s Eve so get your vlogs in for your chance to
participate and create! (Applicants must be 21 and from the US) Travel/taping outside the US begins mid-March 2006 and
runs for 14 consecutive weeks.
