- Wanna see something funny that's also kinda disturbing?
Luna, Luna!
Luna baby.
Let's take this kangaroo.
She really likes to play with this,
but she only likes to play with it when it hangs
so this just kinda looks a little scary.
Hi everyone.
We're just gonna shoot a vlog today,
we got a bunch of stuff in the mail
that I thought would be really fun to play with,
so we're going to unbox that
and also, two months ago
I bought these stickers for my camera
that make it look like it's an arctic camo camera.
I don't know why you would need to hide a camera
in the arctic, but it just looked really cool
so we're gonna, we're gonna put those on the camera
and see the transformation for it.
But also in the meantime,
our cat's been having some softer stools,
so we're gonna drop off a sample
to make sure that she's healthy and happy
because we're worried about you during the quarantine.
Also you're at the point where you might go into heat soon
so that's fun.
Excuse me, Lizzie Pierce.
- Mm?
- Show everybody the cool things
that you just got in the mail.
- (laughs) Let me show you.
So I got the value pack version of this
so it comes with two of each book,
so these two gray ones are the same,
these two black ones are same.
Each one,
so this is a story clock notebook
so you could plan out your storyline
of your film or video or whatever.
What I was originally looking for
is this storyboard notebook
because I really wanted something like this
for my short film,
so it just has a bunch of pages for you to storyboard
all of the different shots for your film.
- [Chris] You're working on a film, aren't you?
- I am.
Well, I'm gonna start now that I have a book.
It's all in my head, I just gotta put it in here
and then shoot it and edit it and upload it.
So I haven't started.
- Lizzie's been wanting to work on a short film
this year as one of her goals.
I'm gonna probably be helping on it a little bit,
but it's mostly her goal.
So she's been waiting for these storyboarding books
so that she can really plan out the whole narrative
for the video because that's the most important thing,
is the actual story.
Very easy to get caught up in gear,
hence why I'm shooting on the iPhone today
because rather than thinking this has to be on the DSLR,
I just wanna start making something, like this bed.
(upbeat music)
I always feel so much better after I've made the bed.
I think that's like, isn't that like a tip
from a professional productivity person?
They're like always start your day by making the bed
and then the rest of the day will be efficient.
One of the other things that we got in the mail today
which I'll unbox later is this thing here.
These are some backdrops that I think I bought
from like the Ukraine off of like a Facebook ad.
I don't know if they're any good but we shall see
but this is gonna be really good for flat lays,
so maybe once we're done putting the stickers on the camera,
maybe we'll take some flat lays
and this will be a combined way of showing you the results
of how to make your camera look cool on flat lay.
Anyways, I keep delaying wanting to go out.
I'm gonna put my pants on now and move forward.
- Wait, I have a tip for everyone at home.
So every day I have four rituals I do.
Okay, so the first one is a morning ritual
and I just list a bunch,
it doesn't have to be like big things you do every morning,
it could be like I drink a glass of water,
I wash my face, I make my bed.
And doing all those things
creates a sense of like you've gotten a few things done.
And also just looking at your made bed
makes you feel like a more complete person.
You don't wanna get back into bed,
the bed's been made, you can't go back into bed.
Setting up those rituals, it gives you a sense of stability
and accomplishment for your days in social isolation.
- No, Lizzie makes a really good point.
Having structure will make you more creative
and more productive.
So to start with a simple task like making your bed,
drinking some water, maybe having a cup of coffee,
and petting a kitty.
Bye, ugh.
Yo, is anyone else's cat kind of a bitch?
The last two days we had to do this project
for Moment, I'm sure you guys are familiar with them.
They asked us to shoot a bunch of footage
with a DJI Osmo Mobile 3.
It's a phone gimbal,
it's actually a really good phone gimbal.
And I shot some footage of Lizzie here in 4k
that actually looked pretty solid
considering it was shot on a phone,
so here's a couple clips from that.
And this is such a good reminder 'cause today
I had this thing where I was like ugh,
I don't have my camera, it's at the office
so I can't start shooting a video.
No, I have an iPhone, I can make things on my iPhone.
Remember that this camera's actually pretty good.
Not even pretty good, it's pretty dang good.
Pretty dang good.
It's still a tool where I could tell a story,
so don't forget that if you want to create something
don't make excuses.
'Cause I make excuses all the time,
I'm like ugh, I don't have this,
or this person's not available, or the quarantine,
nah, you can still create, you can do stuff,
that's what this exercise is.
So check out this footage because it's pretty solid.
I also told Lizzie that I would leave a couple times.
She's like ready.
- I'm always ready waiting for you.
I really am though.
- I'm not ready.
Luna!
(upbeat music)
So Lizzie has dropped the sample off.
How did the sample drop-off go?
- I just put it on this little chair
that's right in front of the door.
So you can't even go in, you just like drop off the poop
and then you leave.
- We are gonna go to the office, unbox these things,
and then put some stickers on my camera.
You think it's gonna look cool?
- Yeah.
- Ahh.
- Can you taste this lip balm
and tell me if it tastes good to you?
I think it does.
Tastes different.
- Taste the lip balm.
What are you doing with the lip balm?
Why are you putting it on your eye?
- Lip and eye balm.
- Lip-eye balm?
(upbeat music)
- Classic, Lizzie got the go away sign.
Let's unbox this and open this.
Switching to this guy, three, two, one, choo.
(relaxing music)
Active wear, active wear,
going to the video in the active wear.
♪ Active wear, active wear ♪
♪ Buying groceries in the active wear ♪
Very active wear because I'm workin' out now.
Trying to be a healthy person.
Okay, so we have these.
These are our protective skins for our camera.
It's gonna look like arctic camo which is pretty cool.
This way that if you're ever in Iceland
and you're trying to shoot,
let's say photos of an arctic fox
they won't think that you have a camera in your hand,
they'll be like he's not threatening!
Sweet, I'll get closer to him.
Okay, let's figure out how to put these stickers on.
This looks like that's the body.
This goes on the top part.
This looks like it's part of the grip?
This is the stickers for the top.
I really don't know how this is gonna go.
I bought a couple Lego kits recently,
and I don't know if you guys remember
when you were playing with Lego as a child,
but sometimes they were all like sticker kits
and you had to put stickers on it.
My stickers were always at like weird angles,
so on the website, this looks really good,
but I have a feeling I'm gonna do a really bad job
and it's just gonna kinda look like garbage.
We shall see.
Lifeguard stickers, water resistant,
precise cutting, no residue, camera skin and lens skin.
Please attach the skin according to the camera lens body,
blah blah blah blah,
other details that seem very unnecessary.
Let's Casey Neistat this,
throw away instructions and just try to do it ourselves
because it's stickers, how hard could this be?
- [Announcer] It was at this moment that he knew.
- I think it's gonna be pretty hard.
Start with this one.
It said to have tweezers, I don't have that.
Lizzie has tweezers!
Oo, Lizzie!
Guys, get yourself a fiance.
Best decision ever.
This is difficult.
Should not be trusted.
This is so hard.
This is stressful.
Stressful!
Got this little tool to help make it easier.
Hey, your boy didn't do the worst job.
Why do I say your boy?
I'm a man!
Sometimes.
This is stressful.
This'll be fun,
you know what would be better than watching me apply this?
Is maybe I'll do a bit of a time lapse.
(intense music)
Okay, this is our final camera and sticker job.
Eh, not bad, that looks pretty sweet.
So that is what a Sony α7R III looks like
with a camo sticker job.
I kinda love it.
Now arctic foxes around the world will be like
that's a floating lens!
I actually think it looks super sick,
Lizzie, what do you think?
- [Lizzie] I want it.
- So I shall buy a couple more of these.
If you guys also wanna pick them up,
this is not sponsored at all, just link where I got it from,
the company Alpha Gaurd below.
You could also get stickers for the lenses
which I might do at some point
because it might make this lens look a lot cooler.
That being said, I think this looks pretty sweet, you guys.
Check it out.
(intense music)
Here, I'll do a thumbnail.
(camera beeps and clicks)
It's a different look.
So why did I do this, why did I actually buy this sticker?
I thought it'd be interesting to have
a slightly different looking camera.
For me, I want something that's cool for photos
that's aesthetic, that kind of separates me
as a content creator.
Stylizing your gear and having a personal touch on things
is always a good way to stand out.
A great conversation starter, it protects your camera,
it makes it look different, it's good for photos.
So like, for me those are all wins and that's worth $50.
It might not be worth $50 for everyone.
All right, let's open some of these other packages.
(tape ripping)
Aw, that was a horrible sound.
Wow, a knife would work really, really well
in this situation.
Highqualitybackdrop.com.
The website looked a little sketchy.
I could've paid in rubles if I wanted to.
I got pulled in by those dang Facebook ads.
Does that look good?
The reason I bought these were for thumbnails
so that we could take cool flat lays.
(Lizzie sneezes)
Bless you.
This is probably one of the better ones.
This one's actually pretty decent too.
Oh, this one's nice.
What?
Oh, whew.
(upbeat music)
Well, that's all for the fun unboxings.
That's it, that's all I wanna say.
If you guys wanna check out any of the products
that we talked about in this video, links are below,
and I hope everyone's feeling happy, safe, and on that note,
battle time with Lizzie.
(upbeat music)
(beeping)
- What, 'cause it's in my planner?
- [Chris] It's nice.
- Is that why you're making fun of me?
- [Chris] No, it's good,
- Don't make fun of me!
- [Chris] No, I'm proud of you!
(beeping)
That sounded like a dying antelope.
(beeping)
Do not get me to start an ASMR channel
unless you want, just like, weird horror sounds.
(beeping)
I'm in a concrete jail cell in Latvia.
