Rick Sebak. The Ultimate Explorer.
Rick Sebak is the ultimate explorer of the unusual. He's traveled
across America to discover the greatest secrets and unravel a few of the
mysteries of many regional eccentricities. His TV programs have explored
everything from flea markets and sandwich shops to ice cream parlors and
missing buildings. His latest project is a documentary titled A
Program About Unusual Buildings & Other Roadside Attractions.
Rick has teamed up once again with PMI's Shawn Jackson to let the world
experience unusual structures from a Giant Shoe House in nearby York, Pennsylvania
to a Wigwam Village in Kentucky and a five-story tall building in the shape
of a Muskie in Wisconsin, plus many more between the coasts. Rick's
job is to provide the unusual details that make his documentaries as entertaining
as they are while PMI's Shawn Jackson provides audio post production for
the programs.
As far as Shawn's concerned, the audio must be perfect. "The
dialogue is what really drives this show, the on-camera and narrative,"
said Jackson. The show is delivered to Shawn with the audio in place
and it's his job to mix it and make it flow. The blending of all
these audio pieces into the smoothest transitions possible is what supports
the show before it makes it back to WQED for its final conform.
The program premiered on PBS this past Sunday. Check
