(gentle music)
(alarm beeps)
- Good morning.
(alarm beeps)
Six o'clock, I'm actually doing a photo shoot.
I slept for three and a half hours.
It most definitely wasn't enough.
It felt so great I didn't want it to end
but here it is ending, for photos (chuckles).
It's raining outside so I'm not
sure if I should bring my bag.
I'd kind of like to use this 85 but I don't want
everything to get wet and I'm definitely not
walking around with this in my hands.
Maybe I will bring my bag.
(bright music)
There's like a certain stress that comes
with traveling and bringing everything with you
and making sure that everything is accounted for
and having overhead space and leaving nothing in cabs.
So when you just have a backpack on your back
and that's all you have to worry about
it just makes the whole process more enjoyable.
Okay, I'm pretty much ready to go.
I don't know why I'm doing this.
(bright music)
- I'm busy playing my first shooter (laughs).
- [Peter] Everyone loves you man.
- No, no. - [Peter] How's it going?
- Everyone loves you Peter.
- It's Alen, best Instagramer.
It's Alen.
We haven't seen Alen since, I don't even know, February.
I'm so tired.
I would only do this for you Alen.
- Aww, yeah he actually did manage to wake up
for sunrise (chuckles),
except we have. - Aww man.
Except for it's a rainy, disgusting sunrise.
Let's go, let's go do things.
- So I was in Japan and we were in a canoeing
scene and I brought (Peter chuckles)
this with me and I'd left it just on the boat
and the guy in front of me he didn't have much experience
in the canoe and he toppled us over.
- [Peter] Whoo.
- And we flipped over
and I couldn't find - [Peter] Oh no.
- the camera, the 1DX was submerged for 40 seconds.
I could not find it.
- [Peter] 40 seconds.
- Yeah, intense.
- [Peter] Wow, and it still works.
- And it still works.
- [Peter] Lens is gone though.
- Lens is, I wouldn't say it's gone,
it just needs a cleaning.
- The lens is gone.
(men laugh)
So yeah it is actually proper raining right now
which works for Alen because he's actually
doing a video on how to shoot in the rain
so I'll link that here if he actually
finishes it in the next three weeks.
(Alen laughs)
And then you can watch it and learn from it
but I'm gonna learn because we're
about to get proper wet.
It's not just spitting, it's straight up,
you need an umbrella, raining.
So this will be interesting,
vlogging and shooting in New York City.
I need coffee badly.
(bright music)
(siren blares)
Alright, we found coffee (groans).
Ooh it's nice and warm in here.
Okay, coffee stop mandatory then the photo shoot resumes.
(upbeat music)
(camera lens shutters)
How's your gear making out there bud?
- (chuckles) Honestly I always wear cotton
(men laugh) just because of this reason.
- [Peter] Not bad, how's yours?
- Yo look at this.
Not that bad 'cause we got the taxi thing going on.
- You had the taxi bag on it.
Fun fact, I actually used this bag to fake a taxi
for the shot I took of Alen.
Worked out pretty well.
Okay, so we pretty much just finished up
shooting in the rain.
It's coming down real hard but my car is here
to pick me up in 20 minutes right here
so I figured this is a good place to end the shoot
because I just can go straight upstairs and towel down.
My mic looks like a wet dog right now.
Look at it.
- Yeah.
- It actually looks like a wet dog.
- It is a wet dog (chuckles).
- [Peter] Thank you for the photos.
- Hey that was amazing man.
It's so good - [Peter] Your shots.
- to see you in New York City.
- [Peter] Excellent, boom. - New York.
- [Peter] Yeah, oh, where are we gonna see each other next?
- Dubai.
(men chuckle)
- Oh, you guys heard it here first.
We're going to Dubai.
I'm not even going with him. - Whoo.
- We're just going at the same time but we're just gonna
hang out, gonna be great. - [Man] Yeah.
- But I gotta get upstairs 'cause I have,
check my watch, I got ten minutes
to dry this thing off with a towel, get to the airport.
- [Alen] Get it.
- [Peter] Okay, good to see you.
- Good to see you bro.
- [Peter] Good to see you.
- [Alen] See you bro.
- [Peter] See you guys somewhere in the world.
- That's right now. - Bye (chuckles).
(sighs) Absolutely soaked, like ab, look outside right now.
New York is just a rainy, foggy, wet mess.
I mean that's great for taking cinematic footage
and dope photos.
It just makes for the best, the best content, in my opinion.
Like some of those photos we got will look so good
because the weather was so bad.
It's hard to get out and actually make yourself
shoot in this type of environment, it's 'cause it's all wet
and sucks and it's actually not that much fun.
It's more work than anything and it's very uncomfortable
but the results you get from shooting in this type
of (knocks head on window and chuckles),
from shooting in this type of environment
with this type of weather, it's great.
So Alen's video about shooting in the rain,
I don't know when he's gonna be finished it.
You should check it out, it'll probably be awesome.
Time to pack all my stuff and go to the airport.
I'm actually super impressed.
I was able to get both sweatshirts Casey gave me
into this camera bag.
One's in the laptop sleeve, one is here,
very impressed with that.
Don't need my sunglasses, those can go here.
Truck keys, oh this jacket.
Everything is soaked.
Everything's got that damp, gross feel to it.
So actually these North Face jackets, these puffs,
they don't repel water, they just take it in
like a sponge so that's too bad.
Phone, room key, I'll keep that.
Sometimes I like to keep those if they're cool.
Throw this back on.
Alright, overall I'd say that was a great,
fun trip to New York.
So everybody and all my friends at 368
thanks for inviting me.
Time to go home to Canada, hoo hoo.
Ugh, (zipper zips) a little wet, look at that.
That's gnarly, ugh.
You know the funny thing about traveling and shooting
is I'm always so go, go, go, go
when I'm on location 'cause it's like you're only
here for x amount of time, make the most of it.
Sleep later.
You're here to get this content.
I forget to eat and that's not a good thing
because I'm super hungry right now.
I barely had anything to eat last night,
had nothing today and I need to get better
at eating when I'm shooting.
I don't know, does that happen to any of you guys?
You ever out on a shoot or a vlog or doing something
and you get so tied and so wrapped up in it
that you forget to do basic human things?
I can't be alone in that.
Okay, I gotta go, the driver's waiting.
Alright, goodbye fancy hotel with the fun roof.
I will miss you.
Boom, that's me.
To the airport please.
- [Driver] LaGuardia.
- As fast as you can.
(upbeat music)
Okay, just arrived at the airport.
We got here a lot faster than I thought we would.
We were a little worried that we might be pressing time
given that the flight boards in an hour
and traffic and delays and classic New York
but should be good.
Gonna pack this camera down, go through security
and we'll see you on the other side
'cause that stuff's just not very fun to watch.
Okay, here we go again.
I hate this airport.
(sighs) I'm home.
What a day.
24 hours in the bag, not even 24 hours,
less than 24 hours to New York City and back
for dinner, hanging out with friends.
(sighs) Back in Toronto, it's a lot colder here.
It's snowed since I've been gone
which I'm most certainly okay with.
But yeah, thanks for coming along on the ride with me.
Had a great time.
Look at that.
Started this from the third level.
Alright, right back where we started folks.
Thanks so much for watching.
I'll see you guys in the next video.
Peace.
