We all struggle sometimes... + FREE TRIP TO ICELAND

[@mattih]

Iceland was by far one of the hardest places to give justice through video but I hope you guys are enjoying these!!!

[@JohnsGuineaPigs]

TravelFeels I am

[@Kjntl]

Yes we are✌️✌️✌️

[@KippThomas]

Awesome Video Matti. Love your " talk / b roll " switch! :)

[@TheBeardBringer]

TravelFeels So amazingly stunning videos, you are a magician with the camera.

[@jeffsavilleproductions]

TravelFeels I just recently shot a video about the Autumn Colors on my KZbin channel and I found it was super hard to give justice to as well. Thanks for the tip!!

[@LexElls]

Inspiring to see you out there with a crew all sharing the same passion and values

[@mattih]

🙏

[@edwardleefilms]

Such a sick edit Matti! Thanks for shooting that dope sequence of me at the church 🙌🏼 Can’t wait to see more Iceland content!

[@mattih]

Such a good trip! Thanks for organizing it man 🙏

[@RyanKao]

Wooooo let's go!

[@chrisbrockhurst]

That drone shot of Peter on top of the defender with the mist is pure buttery goodness

[@thechrishau]

I get there all the time but it's true. Always push through. Life goes in waves :)

[@TeppoHaapoja]

Matti, come back from MARS! Moms calling you 😂

[@mattih]

home safe and sound 😁

[@PabloContrerasFotoviajante]

You guys look like twins!

[@sugercoatit]

Lol.

[@MarkHoltze]

PS: I have nothing but the most respect for DP's videographers, photographers who travel and shoot. It's not easy, especially in harsh conditions. As an editor i'm jealous half the time watching footage shot and thankful the other half I wasn't there. The physical endurance to capture some of these images is PRESSING! It's funny cause you watch these images and you have to think "how could you ever have doubted yourselves?" ;) Footage was dope!

[@mattih]

haha the doubt was before the sweet footage 😂

[@MarkHoltze]

What was it about the landscape? Was it the ever changing lighting? The lack of foreground elements? The WIND?!

[@JakeGleim]

I love your video topics as of lately. Well, I love all of them, but focusing on the mental side of filming. The constant encouragement and reminder that you provide us with to keep focusing on the craft. Always appreciate your work! Helps me continue hustling :)

[@mattih]

thanks man 🙌

[@RiseHigh]

Nice Man, i love when you post *two days in a raw* ! And thanks for sharing your passion, it really helps beginers like me !

[@mattih]

Thanks for watching man!

[@omeirooo5195]

Rise you r right. Peter and mattih never fail to inspire us

[@RiseHigh]

I know right ! They are like mentors for me !

[@Matttchew5]

Peter running on the beach is my favorite shot. Much epic! So Feels.

[@GriffinConway]

Thanks for sharing Matti! Yours and Peter's adventure looked awesome! Gonna have to plan a trip to Iceland myself now!

[@mattih]

🙌

[@hiabiy]

My aspiration and dream to film videos like this has only grown since I found you and Peter. The constant encouragement to LEARN MAKE REPEAT is really engraved in my mind now and can't wait to learn more film making wisdom from you legends. Thank you so much for all that you do for us.

[@mattih]

Thats the best wayy! Time to get gooood

[@Atte000]

Glad to hear you talk about struggles and not just success in this video! Good stuff there! I'm personally getting tired of seeing Iceland on social media, because it feels like everyone especially Instagram is going to capture the exact same locations... I guess it's such an unique place that it's hard to do in a personal way and add something extra to it.

[@clemn7821]

Thanks for exposing this vulnerability Matti! I've been struggling (a lot!) with my master's thesis in ecology for the past months/year, and a lot of what you're going through as a creator and freelancer is surprisingly similar to the struggles of science and scientific writing. I just watched your video to take a small break from the thesis, and now I'm all pumped and motivated again, so thanks a lot!! :D

[@barnesstudios]

Awesome vlog man- I can tell y'all were cold and just generally not comfortable, and then you even talked about not being comfortable from a filmmaking perspective. That made the message more authentic I hope everyone can appreciate the grapes it takes to make these kinda vlogs with even the slightest transparency

[@JanneH]

ICELAND IS SO BEAUTIFUL!

[@mattih]

so true!

[@jontelcher2165]

Thanks for sharing a video that covers the occasional struggle - watching a lot of You and Peter's video's make it look so easy! and for a developing film maker that has loads of creative struggle it's comforting to see that those more established still go through the same ups and downs. You two are my favourite 'go to' film makers btw! Very inspirational - I can do this!🙃

[@callumtaylor8538]

Love the passion you guys have and how you spur each other on, cant wait to get along side some other film makers from my area and do the same thing. Thanks for all the inspiration Matti!

[@jonathanacuna]

Awesome to take a moment in the trip to reflect and turn a downpoint in to a life lesson. Plus blown away at the shots you took. Learning a lot by being observant to the angles you choose. As always thanks for sharing Matti!!

[@AronBagel]

More synthesizer goodness! Yes! You're killing it Matti!

[@mattih]

we alllll need more synth 🙌

[@nerdnoffcamber5743]

I truly get excited when either you or Peter puts up a video! Thanks Matti!

[@mattih]

so goooood! 🙌

[@mitzyfan]

I love that this video showed Pete vlogging some too, it's cool to see my favorite youtubers in the same video

[@mattih]

hes a beast!

[@luckyp6592]

Awesome video again.I LOVE the shots.Fantastic work

[@marylouartist]

Thanks Matt and Peter. Been wanting to visit Iceland. Looks cold and windy and beautiful landscapes. Thanks for sharing the real part of photography in challenging landscapes.

[@HankChenTennis]

Hi Matti, your vlogs and your montages are becoming more and more attractive to me because of your personality. Keep up the good work and stay real. Hope to see you a lot more on KZbin!

[@mattih]

oh theres loooots more to come. This is only the beginning

[@okzitscool]

these guys are awesome, peter and matt. i have been watching peter's video from last 3 months. and i found travel feels about a month ago. now these guys are head to head. both guys been my inspiration. following their's techniques i made a very short film in a cheap camera and kit lens without any stablizers. Its not awesome but my friends having no idea about filmmaking are loving it and appreciating my work.

[@5KyH]

The struggle is real. Thanks for the does of inspo, here's hoping my "off days" turn out this incredible.

[@JonathanThompsonStoryteller]

You can't appreciate the mountains without the valleys. You wouldn't know a good pay cheque without a getting a bad pay cheque. It's all contrast. Awesome message and I'm glad I'm not the only one who can go into a shoot and feel like I'm really not that good, sometimes. Great film and cool to see you guys hanging out in Iceland. Surprisingly good footage from the iPhones too. Loved coming along with you all. Cheers JT

[@mattih]

wisdom right there. I was talking about that with my dad the other day. Yea super surprising with the iphone!

[@africanizingafrica230]

I totally didn't expect this, was awesome. The video was long but didn't stop watching... Great!

[@jamesdavis3141]

Having one of those days today. Planning a shoot for a fitness coaching group and I'm struggling to come up with original ideas. I needed this today. Thanks Matty & Peter!

[@mattih]

so glad you got something out of this

[@srusty05]

I think one reason Iceland is challenging to photograph is in most other locations you are trying to find the best photo in a smaller area of beauty. When I was in Iceland you could look in any direction and walk any distance and you could find dozens of possible compositions. It is stimulus overload. When I look back on my photos they pail in comparison to what I saw.

[@mattih]

totally agree! that happens a lot on my travels but especially in Iceland

[@marcusdalton9480]

Yo Matti! That drone zoom shot of peter walking up the plane is one of the coolest shots I’ve ever seen!!!!!!!! Great work!

[@23Pioro]

Amazing stuff, Matti! I love your collaboration and friendship with Pete. Keep it up!

[@MarkHoltze]

Photography in Iceland? Challenge ACCEPTED!

[@mattih]

do it!

[@Sinkinson_]

_so cool seeing all this content come out of your trip!_ 💪

[@mattih]

[@mattih]

[@jeffsavilleproductions]

I just recently shot a video about the Autumn Colors on my KZbin channel and I found it was super hard to give justice to as well. Thanks for the tip!!

[@mattih]

🙌

[@Kevoin_]

Maaan, that shot with the drone flying against Peter on the car and the sun in the background looked soooo sick man!

[@GuillaumeTANNEUX]

I enjoyed the cinematic sequences in here. Thank you.

[@blakewilliams3857]

Thanks For the Inspiration man! I needed to hear what you had to say today! Oh, and by the way.. I totally just ordered the Beanie you were wearing just now. haha

[@ukaszwojtowicz8511]

Matti... the sequence between 1:50 to 2:05 is unreal. What a sick shots !

[@Elieay1]

you and peter are just amazing

[@mattih]

thanks man 🙌

[@Elieay1]

TravelFeels enjoy your time to the max

[@filmyheads7418]

[@LexElls]

Hey Matti another killer video brother. Did you literally carry the 1dx on gimbal for half the trip lol!? Those are some smoooooth shots dude. Also great advice brother. Applies to every aspect in life.

[@marcregan2]

[@derekwillson2538]

[@kengichuhi2640]

Thanks Mattih for always been inspiring to us

[@RajawatOfficial]

Thanks for one more amazing video. You and other youtubers are the reason to keep me making videos.

[@miguelfcervantes]

Matti, thank you for this video. It is so timely. Lately I've been thinking about quitting because I'm going through an artistic desert right now. Thank you for the advise. I think I may stick it out after all. Thanks again.

[@nappstartv9626]

Great video mattih very informative and inspiring

[@mattih]

[@ron30865]

Dude!! that shot at 8:20 KUDOS man! amazing scenery!!

[@anyelovalencia7985]

Dude!! Love the new intro!!! Amazing footage and great tips as always 👍🏽👍🏽

[@malcolmyoung7866]

Iceland is my place......even though I have never been there...Geology and Volcanology....incredible....would love to go there one day...

[@mattih]

its awesome!

[@JacekAdamczyk]

Matt - google the "IT band problem" that could be the issue with your knees, it's especially acting up when walking on unstable surfaces... like gravel.

[@lisacmillward]

[@tetelestai1]

thanks for your complete honesty, bro... appreciate it....

[@Chobed]

hahahahhahhahaah it was so funny when Peter say "... and go get some of those travel feels!!" hahahahahahahhaa

[@AnttiKarppinen]

Would love to hear how you ended up to Canada from Finland :D Amazing work bud!

[@mattih]

Parents moved here when I was younger

[@cleverandroid]

I was just thinking what would a travel feels & creative north collaboration look like, ( crossing fingers) could be really epic.

[@sugercoatit]

It’s gorgeous. Great work.

[@sonnybrown4758]

I love your videos. You're very inspirational. Please keep it up. I've always wondered since you started shooting with the 1dx if you're shooting 4k for the vlogs?

[@samuelaseolas]

Man that footage is stunning!

[@TheJayxart]

Great job you guys you inspire me a great deal... I wanna be a drone pilot too... Your shots are driving me insane!!! I screamed today seeing one of the footage and my girl was like "what's wrong baby" and I said in an over excited low voice "travel feels" so dope. 💪💪💪💪

[@teocrawford]

well..you say you struggled gettin' good footage but I'm telling you this footage is insane :P

[@TurboLife]

Good stuff as usual, I know I always struggle with the videos I make!

[@mattih]

🙌

[@samvanrest]

Yay! Love it! It’s like another planet with the black sand, will for sure visit it one day. From Holland Not that big of an trip!

[@mattih]

sooo true!

[@Beyondthegrid]

😍😉😆 DUDE !!!! You literally just made me book my trip to ICELAND!!!

[@CruzntheWorld]

Hey Matti can you do a tutorial on the best camera settings for shooting the sunrise/ sunset for and include the settings for the drone as well

[@RobertAlexanderHunter]

Iceland looks amazing

[@mattih]

it sure is

[@micahkitchens2480]

This video really spoke to me, been working on a video the past couple days but the footage I️ captured just wasn’t what I️ was really going for. But like Mattih said, you have to keep going.

[@Matttchew5]

Totally get it on the "I don't know what to do" vibes. I think those are called growing pains.

[@abderahimmaali270]

so much love for you guys

[@MikeSantis]

Canadians with super cool, super rainy etc etc. Funny guys :-)

[@nerdize7592]

The shot at 8:20 is the best one of this entire trip!

[@erikdez4399]

your style is very similar to Pete's but also it's absolutely different. Very good job, well done!

[@sids_studio]

so so so inspirational man...loved this video content

[@mimoreque1805]

Awesome video. Thanks!

[@mattih]

🙌

[@TheDarkKnight03]

LOVED this episode! ❤️ your interview with Kyle was inspiring💕.. I feel you guys, I was in Iceland 2 weeks ago .the weather was very challenging for me as a photographer and filmmaker. Specially for drone shots, you need to constantly battle with the wind. I almost lost my drone when the wind carry it 3km away. Luckily we found it not damaged after half day searching in the mountains near seljalandsfoss!. Hopefully i can come back with rhino team and rhino gear to take the shots that i was not lucky to get for my epic Iceland project 😁

[@davidhuval]

Am I the only one that hears Matti say process like "pr-OH-cess"? LOL Keep crushing it Matti!

[@danielnicholson4871]

This video is awesome! I love your talks man

[@AdventuRojas]

I cant decide whether the free gear or the video's color grading in ICELAND is the best part.

[@elwiraspychalska4611]

Hilarious video! You are such an amazing cinematographer! You inspire for sure many people, including me, so keep on doing! 😊📷🍂

[@haukkumo]

When you're struggling with something, it helps when you shout "PERKELE", right Matti? :D

[@mattih]

hahaha maybe for some people

[@okamimemos1716]

My dreams are literally going to Iceland and meeting you and Peter if I get to do both at once I'd die

[@mattih]
