I received the following e-mail from my brother Thuy and wanted to share it so I can brag about him (I did get his permission to post it.) He edited and produced the trailer below, as well as several other commercials for Mark Burnett’s new 8-part reality series, Expedition Africa, which starts airing May 31 at 10PM/9C on the History Channel. Check it out—it looks amazing!
***************************************
I’ve been busy the past few months working on a launch campaign and theatrical trailer for Executive Producer Mark Burnett’s latest show, Expedition Africa. Burnett is the producer behind tons of shows like Survivor, The Apprentice, to name a few.
You may remember HM Stanley’s quote “Dr. Livingstone, I presume.” This show is about 4 modern-day explorers retracing Stanley‘s journey across Africa 130 years ago to find Dr. David Livingstone. They do so with nothing but a compass and old maps (and I guess a camera crew following them but let’s not go there…ha ha).
The trailer is playing in most cinemas nationwide, before movies like Star Trek and a lot of the other big summer movies. So if you go out and watch a movie, you might see it in surround sound!! Many of the other commercials are airing on various networks, so if you see some of them, they were from me!! Enjoy!

on a bad note but that’s exactly what Expedition
Africa is a big Bored Fest . Ask yourself this how can four rather dull lumps turn such an Exciting time in History into a nothingness ! Easy their there ! The best part
is the first day they start their “Expedition” with
no water ! Then they can’t find their way out of the mangrove swamp ( I can’t believe I’m saying this but where Bear Grylis when you need him ?)
The show should be about the Masi Warriors –
Lov it when one says that he can’t get lost in the bush – Ahh Masi Warriors don’t leave home without them ! Do us all a favor and put the spear to good use Lol…..

June 2, 2009 at 4:47 pmWelcome, Humbolt! No apologies needed if you found the show boring. I welcome all opinions here as long as they’re respectfully and intelligently articulated.
I must admit I didn’t watch the show since my brother only edited and produced the trailers and didn’t have anything to do with the actual program. I didn’t know who the Masi Warriors were so I looked them up and think a show about them would be interesting!
