'Expeditions' Garners Three Emmy Nominations

The Southeast chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences nominated the Clemson nature series “Expeditions with Patrick McMillan” for three Emmy Awards for outstanding achievement in television programming. The Emmy competition  is the most prestigious in television and video production.

The 30-minute weekly TV show  began in 2007 and has been nominated for 10 Emmy awards. The series is produced by Clemson University Video Production Services and airs on SC-ETV as well as on Public Broadcasting System (PBS) affiliates across the United States.

“Belize, Central America’s Last Best Chance” was nominated for outstanding magazine program. This episode explores the lowland tropical forest and its connections with man in both the ancient Mayan and modern times, and connections this exotic forest has with our own backyards. Sharing the honor are producer/host/editor Patrick McMillan, videographer/director/editor David White and sound engineer Scott Smith.

McMillan also received two nominations for on-camera talent performance: one for “The Mayan Forest” and one for a compilation video showcasing McMillan’s hosting skills.
