[@mattih]

Guys if you want to win a free trip to Iceland for you and a friend check the link in the description! Its such an amazing place!

[@TheBeardBringer]

Entered and crossing my fingers! :)

[@HughesyTech]

Last time I been there was in 2013 so I need to go again!

[@NuggestWoW09]

Entered... You guys are so funny when you get together. Peter is just one big goof ball, A lovable and funny one, but he's funny. As always.. Great videos and thanks for all the tips. ;)

[@GavinOConnorTheFilmmaker]

Awesome Video Matty

[@Chobed]

i wanna go so baddd!!!!

[@valleyfilmsuk]

Can't drive manual haha, sorry someone had to comment that.

[@TravellingArtist]

Tip No. 4 is so so true. I have been making my own videos for more than a year and only recently I have been approached by a travel company to cover their travel events.

[@KelsVaughne]

It’s now been almost a year since we were in Iceland and you and Pete are making us miss it so much! You guys are seriously the best two for collabing together. Does that make sense ? Stoked on this Iceland series 🙌🏽🙌🏽

[@mattih]

thanks so much!

[@MarkHoltze]

Idea's as well..ideas are free and probably THE most important element of being a "filmmaker". What is the story I want to tell and why do people want to give up their precious time to watch it. Great video Matti, always love travel vlog's mixed up up with great takeaway.

[@mattih]

Yep thats alll about making up your own project 🙌

100%!!!

[@adlinaorielle9789]

I really love the music in this video. Gives such a blissed, nostalgic, 80s feel.

[@mattih]

the beeest right!

[@adlinaorielle9789]

Couldn't stop thinking about it as I watch the video. Very much on point.

[@SteveDOES]

Great tips. I’ve only had my iPhone so far but I’m investing in my first DSLR this Christmas (Canon SL2). I’d like to invest in a good lens that I can grow into. I’m looking at the 55mm and 10-18mm. What other lens would you recommend?

[@PopcornandScripture]

Love the music. Got a nice 80s feel... reminds me of Drive 😊

[@mattih]

ahh you and me are on the same page! love 80s feels and love Drive haha Glad you appreciate it tooooo

[@MarkHoltze]

Check out Epidemic Sound's "new wave" selection, they have a remixed version of one of the songs from the soundtrack. It's not as cool but has a similar melody just changed enough. Stranger Things Soundtrack? Best ever right?

[@GerardCROW]

[@mrman17]

I first heard this song in another video a couple of weeks ago and tried finding it but failed - then I stumbled across this from watching a Peter Mckinnon video.

[@CamAttreePhoto]

Agreed! Speaking of 80's soundtracks, if you haven't already checked out Atomic Blonde's soundtrack, it's pretty epic.

[@AronBagel]

Usually I'd pair that tasty synthwave music with some night driving vibes, but for some reason it works really well with the black sands of Iceland! I dig it!

[@mattih]

yea man me tooo!

[@oskarifagerstrom8638]

Tajusin vasta nyt, että olet Suomesta kotoisin. Teet todella hyvää materiaalia ja olet todella inspiroiva!

[@mattih]

🙌 thanks man

[@SilasWilloughby]

Iceland is amazing! I've been dreaming of going there for so long! Can't wait to go!

[@mattih]

incredible! 🙌

[@VictorKinny]

So nice peach travelfeels U and Peter make me want to start my KZbin channel

[@mattih]

🙌

[@AnttiKarppinen]

Always wanted to go there. And The flights from Finland aint that bad. You guys are doing amazing stuff. You and Peter are one of the reasons I started doing my own KZbin Channel finally. Im mainly Photographer / Digital artist / Educator from Finland and I will try to figure out my own thing for KZbin. First steps taken .. will do more. Thank you guys for posting stuff! Amazing!

[@mattih]

Awesome! love hearing that 🙌

[@Gumardee_coins_and_banknotes]

Finland, try Australia lol.

[@TechKidShazil]

6:57 Dope AF! Definitely my next wallpaper.

[@mattih]

thanks dude 🙌

[@FRESHsneakers]

New Subscriber, I learned a lot! Thx for the practical tips. Continue to do this kind of stuff!

[@mattih]

Welcome to the community man!

[@meletispix]

Hey Matti, awesome to see how different yours and Pete’s video of the same exact experience was. You guys are smashing it 🤘🏼

[@mattih]

thanks dude 🙌

[@thechannelitrollwith1645]

I'm always amazed when I see the footage of Peter running with the car. The footage is so smooth it's not even funny. Obviously slowing it down, especially from 120p to 24p, helps but man, awesome shot. Thanks for the content, Matti!

[@NickWichman]

Those tips are good, dude. I seriously know SO many people that get a ton of gear and NEVER EVER end up using it. Is it confidence that keeps them from getting into it? Or just laziness??? Its like... come on... all that $$$ and no drive to MAKE something? Great vid. Iceland looks dope AF.

[@mattih]

haha yep it happens to a loooot of people!

[@notrom-thesilencer7993]

this channel deserves more viewers & subscriber, keep up the good work man, always inspire me

[@mattih]

Appreciate that man 🙏

[@OliverJHughes]

You are phenomenally gifted with that drone, Matti

[@NathanVMountain]

*Dude, even if I didn't have a channel to collab with, it seems like it would be pretty sick to hang out with you guys cause what's better than taking pictures, filming and having fun whilst travelling for most of the day! Also you guys seem pretty chill haha :)*

[@mattih]

Id like to think were good people 😂

[@NathanVMountain]

Haha well you seem it from our view x'D

[@ericnshimiye]

Your tip at 6:20 might sound obvious to some but it’s amazing how true it is to me. Thanks for this post!

[@soamjena]

I like that LUT used. Looks more like a LR preset used :) is it ?

[@mattih]

Its a LUT ive created! Link in the description

[@soamjena]

TravelFeels description has LR preset. I don't see the LUT link.

[@soamjena]

TravelFeels ok got it.

[@Jonnyvonwallstrom]

We were there last year, such an amazing place Iceland is.

[@ishbanyadav]

The perfect Travel Feels title

[@mattih]

🙌

[@TECHDRONEMEDIA]

Mattie, what microphone are you using to get that good clear audio? Shotgun?

[@JakeGleim]

I have found with my own projects and channel each video gets better and better. So amazing what happens when I just focus on the craft. Thanks for all your guidance :)

[@mattih]

yea man just keep working on it

[@TheBeardBringer]

*OMG, Iceland looks fantastic - wish I had some friends to travel with and have a great time like you guys seemed to have* Amazing work as always :)

[@mattih]

just go man! youll love it

[@daleb194]

Amazing. Got here from Peter's page but this is one of the best videos on KZbin. Excellent!

[@PicturePulse]

Super epic video, thanks for sharing! Did you film it on the 1DX?

[@mattih]

thanks! links in the description

[@TausifHussain]

haha your tip at 9:40 spoke to me lol. I guess I would love to work with filmmakers that are better than me as there is so much to learn and you are so inspired by them. But i see your point. If we dont have anything to offer, then it may not make sense for them. Great video brother. Awesome Footage.

[@mattih]

yep! 🙌

[@AmericanbyBlood]

WOW Iceland looks awesome!! Always enjoy your advice and your taste in music for your vids are on point. My favorite channel.

Great content as always! Thanks for sharing this amazing trip. Oh, and that song that you used was very 80's and I love it!

[@mattih]

gotta love the 80s feels

[@CruzntheWorld]

The first gear I would recommend that you will always have a use for is any camera, sigma 18-35 and a handheld gimbal like zhiyun crane

[@jwardell]

What an incredible place! Iceland photo trip -> bucket list. Where do you suggest people look to find creatives at their same level?

[@mattih]

Definitely worth! Anywhere, youtube, local film communities, instagram

[@MarkDenneyPhoto]

Good stuff, Brother!

[@LiveTravelExplore]

Incredible shots, Iceland looks awesome!

[@mattih]

[@PeterDiBussolo]

digging the old school track feel!

[@mattih]

🙌

[@hsolo67]

I started watching your vids just before I bought my gopro hero 6 a couple of weeks ago to try and find out somethings about it and then went on to try and learn as much as I can about making films I like your channel a lot and its got great down to earth tips without all the fluff and BS so that we know it takes work a lot of it to become good so I subscribed I'm very new to film and started making little vlogs for fun but I do love watching fantastic videos from talented people I plan to step my game way up and improve with time thank you for sharing!

[@mattmaca]

Sweet vid as usual. Look forward to both yours and Pete's footage of Iceland. Cheers mate.

[@mattih]

yep moreee to come! 🙌

[@mattmaca]

TravelFeels You should do a vid on your amazingly beautiful country Canada. Congrats on becoming a father, nothing better. Enjoy!

[@lvdfilms6890]

great insight! Will definitely apply this to my work!

[@user-wm3uy7fj9y]

Trying to learn as much as I can through your KZbin channel and Peters. Getting better! Keep posting those video! Thx :)

[@mattih]

yea sooo much content online to learn from. Ive learned everything I know from the internet and making stuff 🙌

[@JonathanThompsonStoryteller]

Awesome film Matti, and the footage of the Defender is sooooo cool. Although you have some expensive gear, in the film making world it’s seems pretty run and gun. It’s amazing to see what can be achieved. And the tips, yep, bob on, as we say here. Cheers JT

[@mattih]

yep for sure theres some expensive gear but pretty minimal in the end!

[@chrisroach8385]

Heading to Iceland soon and looking forward to grabbing some epic shots !!

[@hassan2435819]

That song just got me chill's. Amazing work

Another awesome video Matti! Thanks for the tips and gorgeous visuals as usual. I ran one of my workshops in Iceland in Sept last year. I soooo want to go back (fingers crossed for winning the Rhino comp!) but it's such a long way to go from Australia :( Let me know if you are heading down under to visit your brother in the future, I'd love to share some spots around South East Queensland with you.

[@mattih]

[@BeTheEnergySteve]

Great video man and i know it’s gotta be tough to stay on topic while out there in such an incredible place like Iceland

[@mattih]

haha yep 🙌

[@Weird_Quests]

You mention learning to be one of the core principles in becoming successful - and I totally agree! (With everything in this crazy life) - What tutorials would you recommend in relation to video editing and photography/cinematography/film-making?

[@MariuszGajdzik]

Matti as always you're hitting all the spots! Also Iceland looks unreal.. hopefully I can win this trip haha :)

[@FerasAwadFilms]
