How Does Philip Bloom Make The Wonder List?

03 29 2016

The Wonder List with Bill Weir is a stand-out of CNN’s original programming and returned for its second season last week.

The travelogue is a collaboration between host Bill Weir and filmmaker Philip Bloom, with each episode highlighting a new destination across the planet. Season 2 premiered in Cuba and continues to Iceland, Machu Picchu, the Grand Canyon, southern Africa, and Bhutan.

STALKR represents some of Philip’s most iconic footage for clip licensing and we’ve incorporated his dynamic vision into commercial projects ranging from Merrill Lynch to CenturyLink to Maui Jim to Verizon.

In an ongoing series of “Behind the Shot” videos for the Wonder List, Philip goes into detail about the creative and technical processes he uses to nail some of the most mind-blowing shots of the series.

From the equipment used to the filmmaking approach itself to the unexpected challenges of shooting an unscripted travel show, Philip narrates it all.
