(Relaxing Guitar Riff)
- What's up guys?
I am at my best friends wood shop.
You guys, I need to pick up some
materials for photography.
And I thought while I was here,
I would maybe give you guys a tour,
give myself a tour.
Hopefully he has some coffee and
I brought the MO V 'cause I wanna
shoot some dope B-Roll.
The second fact is...
Why does the audio always sound weird
in the back of this truck?
(grunts)
Okay, the second thing is
two days ago, it felt like a summer day.
It was sunny, it was beautiful,
it was like plus 16,
now it's like negative one,
and it's been snowing again.
Ugh what is happening with this weather?
(relaxing music)
I forgot my camera bag.
I forgot my camera.
I should probably give you guys
a little bit of a backstory on Mike.
Mike actually taught me
everything I know about photography,
at the very beginning.
Aperture, shutter speed, all of that.
I used to call him on the phone and be like,
"What does AV mode mean?"
Just sitting there
double tapping IG's in the corner.
- What's up?
- [Peter] Can you grab the big box
'cause I'm so cold and I don't feel like
going outside.
Thanks Mike!
(laughs)
Bring in my things!
- It's the size of our dumpster out back.
- Dude, I brought that to Iceland,
like all the way to the black-sand beach.
Did not enjoy that.
I enjoyed Iceland, not this case.
I need photo boards, are you still making photo boards?
- Yeah, of course.
- Okay, what's the wood from...
Do you guys remember how Mike
made me that desk,
it must have been like six months
to like almost a year ago I did a vlog.
I'll insert some clips here.
Legs, desk legs, desk legs, desk legs.
Say that fast, it's hard.
(laughs)
- Heavy.
(calming music)
Ooh, ah!
So a couple days ago I did a video
on product photography.
I told you guys go to antique shops,
find different crates and surfaces and stuff like that
to take great product photos,
Instagram photos, coffee, food, whatever.
However, Mike's been making photo boards
for photographers for ages now,
which is great because you can flip them over,
you can use either side,
you don't have to go to an antique shop
if you don't have one near your house
or you don't, assuming not everybody has
an antique shop within like two minutes
from their house so...
That's a lot of wood.
That's what she--
Give me the super fast, 90 second tour.
- Okay, we got SawStop here.
Fingers won't get cut.
- Safety first.
- We got some routers.
- Safety first.
- We have a jointer, we have a shaper.
We have a dust collector, other planer.
- Yo, dust is so crappy.
Like I cut one thing in my garage
two weeks ago, like one piece,
I was sweeping for hours.
And now I'm gonna film you making it for me so,
let's go.
(upbeat techno music)
The best thing about this shop
and what Mike does and like, this specific wood:
You don't find this at Home Depot,
this isn't sitting in your local trainyard in
like the corner and some scrap and some skids.
Mike goes out and finds and sources all these
exotic woods and stuff like that
and then has the ability to distress them,
paint them, make them look incredible.
Which is why I'm amped on this.
And you guys know on this channel,
like this isn't unfamiliar to you guys
that I love to showcase my friends that do
anything artistic or super awesome
when it comes to being an entrepreneur
or business at all.
So, this is no exception.
What is with all this stuff, man?
- That's not mine.
- [Peter] What's going on here?
I thought you were like, Mr. Pour-Over.
- Ugh, our Chemex is at home,
I'm not cooking on this Heisenberg meth lab.
Little hot burner plate.
- [Peter] Your Heisenberg meth, is that what you call it?
The Heisenberg hot plate.
- Yeah.
- These are going to be awesome.
Now I am going to drive all the way to Canon
because I have a bunch of prints to pick up.
And then I'm gonna go home, make coffee,
and test out my new photo boards
'cause, super pumped.
If you guys wanna check them out yourself,
I left the link in the bio,
you guys can check out Mike's shop, his Instagram,
give him some love, get some photo boards.
You guys know what to do.
Okay, time to pack up and
get the MO V in the truck and, yeah.
It's so heavy.
Okay, headed to Canon, see you when I get there.
I made it, it took like an hour to get here.
You can see the Canon logo.
Where is it?
There it is.
Alright, so I gotta do a couple things while I'm here.
I gotta drop off a camera,
and pick up all the prints from that
gallery event that I did back in October.
I didn't feel like picking them up downtown
'cause it's really hard to find parking there.
So I had them shipped here
'cause I knew I had to come back
and return this camera.
Which by the way, I haven't show you guys yet for
a very specific reason, but I think it's time that you see
the camera that I'm returning.
I never used it because...
Let me go get it.
One, two, three, four, five.
So, the reason I didn't bother using
this camera, as you probably saw from the label there
is sometimes you just look at a camera
that has so many buttons and options and accessories
that I just, no.
Just not interested.
This is one of those cameras.
So what I did is I opened it up
and saw all these papers.
Big, thick, like look at that.
It's like actual blueprints in here.
Look at this guys, look at this.
Are you ready for this?
(groans)
What in good heavens
am I supposed to do with this.
I can't even hold it,
I literally gotta put it down it's so heavy.
Would make a good thumbnail though.
I'm sure it's incredible.
I know it does like, 4K 120 slow motion,
ooh with probably the best dynamic range
but, I feel like I'm pulling my truck inside the building.
(upbeat pop music)
This camera is so heavy.
Yeah,
I can fit those in the back seat.
Hang on.
Ugh,
doesn't fit.
I'm gonna have to put these all in the back
and it's gonna rain.
(upbeat pop music)
We cut apart a printer box
and then we used it as kind of like a little house
we made little walls.
We've got walls in the side, across
and on both sides it's covered.
We're gonna go one more right here
to cover this part,
then the tailgates gonna go up,
then I'm gonna strap it down so that it
kind of keeps this house intact.
Should be fine if it starts raining I would think.
What do you think?
- Yeah, I think it would work.
You know, boxes.
- [Peter] I like your dress shirt, man.
- Thanks man, you know I just,
I got it from the dry cleaners yesterday.
It's nice press, not too much starch, nice and soft.
(laughs)
- [Peter] Better than nothing.
- Better than nothing.
- [Peter] Thank you.
- No problem buddy - [Peter] Thanks for the help.
Alright and lets whip all the way home.
(whoosh noise)
Look how big there prints are.
These are absolutely huge.
I'm pumped, I'm gonna put them
all over my house.
I cannot wait.
