Wondering. How much of this is staged?
When they droped himm out in the jungle and the helicopter just leaves I must admit I thought this looked very staged.
Is this "up there" with Goldrush in Alaska and stuff?
what's you definition of "staged"? I'm sure meetings and transportation were pre-arranged (as was the security), the local expert who was with Josh (the older man who spoke the language) probably knew that they were landing in the safe area, and what the local greeting would be like, but perhaps kept it to himself for effect; the helicopter probably had to leave like that for the weather coming in
if you mean do I think the engine parts they examined in the jungle or the bones under the house were planted, no, I don't think so, but this is a television production, and I'm sure there are hours of boring footage, where nothing happens, that we're not seeing
Well I think Todd Hoffmann is actually digging for gold but the entire how and when and "things" are just scripted and staged.
Thats the impression I get when I watch EU. I am sure the guy is out there doing the research. But I find myself wondering about most of the things beyond that and wouldnt put money on the question that he realy is the "first" to see some of these things. +Also looking into the case he was exploring I wonder why they left out some critical information here and there. Probably to create suspense, but why not deliver these informations later then?
All smells scripted and staged to me.
It's a TV show with producers, directors, camera men, etc, so of course some of it is set up. Some of it is probably re-shot too. They do not go out all 'willy nilly' hoping for so thing interesting to happen. Plus keep in mind, we only see the parts they put together for us to see. Trying to keep it interesting for the viewer. Otherwise it would all be National Geographic type shows, with no personally, only film & a narrator.
