"The world and internet in particular is so often build on jealousy on seeing what someone else is or has done and feeling left out or less than" - Peter McKinnon
What did one mountain say to the other mountain? Mountain: “Is that Peter?” In all seriousness this is really cool and I can’t wait to see the film!!!! Such gorgeous footage dude
Peter, it's because of this video that I'm starting to love taking photos with my phone. I am also learning to use the enhancements for the photos my phone has. I am 53yr old retired & found a new interest. Thank you.
Man where are you living if you are retired at 53... My Father turns 62 this year and still no retirement in sight... Enjoy your new Hobby and retirement!
4 years since this video came out and i still love this video 😍i been watching this video every time i lost my love in photography due work and personal problems❤❤
"Just a dude, struggling with ideas, trying to make you laugh, trying to keep your attention, trying to make a difference." Man! I love that, because isn't that what we're all trying to do?
Exactly, I run my own business and I never have the energy or time to focus up on a project. But seeing this really has changed my mind stage on what I need to do and what can achieve with very little time I do have.
I see your point, but on the contrary, I think that it is supremely important that something so amazing is indeed, for free. Then everyone can get access to it, and enjoy. We have the resources, but maybe people who don't, will appreciate that. Cheers! (and thank you Peter)
It's not free... UA-cam collects your data, sells it to other third parties- who make big money by selling products, they now have the data that says this guy gets views, so they pay him for advertising their product and trafficking more people to them. Everyone gets a piece of the cake. Nothing is free son, you just have to be smart enough to understand the flow of economy
Some pieces are just timeless. This is one of those pieces. 5 years later, message still relevant, the artwork still masterful. Thanks Peter McKinnon for loving what you do and continuing to be a student of the craft, despite being a master already.
But the bucket shots are miles better than this. I felt inspired watching that. Here it's just pete hanging out with his friends. Doesn't really hit that much for me
Dude I don‘t even know how its possible to create something so humble, so genuine and so very truthful... everybody is bashing social media and influencers while to me discovering people like you just gives me so much inspiration, so much energy and even purpose so thanks for doing what you love and sharing it with us and i hope you won‘t ever stop making these vids ✌🏻
"The easiest thing to take for granted is the people and places you see everyday" thanks for another inspiration Peter, you are the reason I bought a camera in the first place, and you continue to inspire me to go out and create.
Watching this makes me feel like I’m not doing enough, it makes me sad that I’m not, but happy that I could.. in essence... I don’t know how this makes me feel.. but I’m glad I watched it because I can feel his joy..
We’re almost a year down the line and I still watch this at least once every couple of weeks. Of course the footage and images are awe inspiring but even more so is the message. I’m now finally putting wheels in motion to create something for myself inspired by this. Thank you so much Peter, you have no idea how much you inspire those who follow you.
I watched that video when it came out, and I was teenager back then. Now when I am a little bit mature - the words Peter says has much deeper meaning to me right now. It brings me so many memories honestly, but not only that fascinates me. Because of much more proper understanding of the words - I see newer things in old statements - and that's the most beautiful part for me.
I remember starting this video and moments later it was already over, I didn’t even manage to blink. Watched it breathless. Peter you are an absolute legend!
I couldn't see the whole video clearly as my eyes would tear up with joy, happiness, enthusiasm, inspiration, you name it. There's hasn't been anything on the internet that would truly inspire me from the inside. Because, most of them are pretentious storytelling, visuals without a story, story that'd matter, story that's from the inside. But, this is none of that. This is Peter's heart and mind put together in the form of film. Thanks Pete.. Let's just give this film some award or something already!
This is amazing! This line just says it all. “Reminds me of how small we are, how small your worries and problems are. I think we all need to be reminded of that.”
F$#%KING KILLER BRO!!!!!! Man your life is so full of fun. So tired of the grind and can't wait to one day just to get to half of what you have. Thank you Peter....You are a rock-star. 🤘👍💪 Travel More! Worry Less!
This video is pure magical. The music, the cinematic shots, those aerial shots, the voice over .. oh man you name it. Everything blends perfectly. I forgot to mentioned the dedication and passion about making the quality video. You and Casey, my two most favourite UA-cam and filmmaker. Love your work Peter.
Amazing video, Pete. My favorite that you've done. In all honesty, I have never seen a mountain in person. 36 years into this journey, and I've yet to see more than a mild mossy hill. I have never laid eyes on an honest to God gigantic, majestic slab of stone. And you have awakened the sleeping beast. I need to get to Banff. I need it like oxygen. And to answer your question... No. How could anyone ever get tired of shooting the raw, untamed beauty of God's artistry? Keep going Pete, keep shooting. You guys crushed this one!
Hey man. I love all your videos. I’m going through a really rough patch in my life atm and your energy and enthusiasm and the way you let all of us behind the curtain has the been one of the things that has made me feel inspired to keep going. You get to do things with people who love you and love the same things as you. One day when you know who I am I’m gunna show you this comment so you know you helped me change my life. Keep cracking on being a deadset legend Pete. Love from Aus 🇦🇺🇨🇦
Whenever I feel low i open UA-cam, search this, and have a good 15 minutes and then get back up to life. Watching it for the nth time now. Thanks Pete 💙
It's so amazing to see someone so enthousiastic about the same places I call my favorites on planet earth. And to see him do the same stuff you've done years ago..
This video inspired me to start taking pictures on my phone. I’ve been having a rough few years with depression and anxiety and this has been the only thing that has made me excited to live. Hoping to save up for a entry level camera to start this journey. Thanks Peter. You help people more than you know.
every single time i need inspiration, whether its how to be a better story teller or edit my videos.. i always find myself on your channel. this is the goal. this is the life i envision for myself. thank you for making these videos and providing value to others.
Great video, even better commentary. Just saw you tonight and subscribed. This area has always mesmerized me when I drove by or stopped in. Living in B.C., I've learned that we live on heaven's doorstep and to NEVER take it for granted.
I've been around this channel from its starting and I've to tell y'all .. this guy is soo pure hearted and dedicated to photography and stuff that he don't miss any chance to inspire people to get involved into it.. he's been my only inspiration since the beginning and even if i become something in coming future.. a big proportion of that success will be due to this guy solely :) ..
WOW. One of the best things I've ever seen on UA-cam, by far. The quality is just. Crazy. A good mix of raw emotions and stunning footage and storytelling. And now I have to visit Banff. Thanks for making this video, it's an absolute masterpiece.
In my decade plus years being on YT (as a content consumer), this is the best produced and directed video I have come across. Period. So, so, so good and your message was also so brilliant and humbling and honest!
Hey Peter, your videos are hella inspiring and so great to see you showcasing some of Canada's most beautiful natural landscapes! Since you love these places so much, have you ever thought of using your influence and talents to shed some light on environmental issues/conservation so that we can keep places like Banff as beautiful as they are now for generations to come? I would love to see you do something like that!
This has to be one of the best mini-films I have ever seen. From the color grading, to the inspiring/creative content, to the honest behind-the-scenes… and to that last crispy slow pan through the grass and the lurking mountain. Thanks Pete 📸
Watching this on vacation in colorado with my family. Tomorrow were going to Rocky Mountain National Park and this video gave me so much inspiration. I took almost 500 photos on the drive from Chicago to Granby. And I took almost 2000 on a family trip to Walt Disney World. The thought of taking photos gets me excited, and after watching this video I can’t wait to get out and take some photos. Peter, man, this video is top notch seriously.
so good. oh man soo soo good
Yea
Hi
Imagine casey commenting on Peter's video! ,, hell im going back to my 250 subscriber chanel 😑
indeed
@@TarekMagdy i feel you! lol
I feel like I owe him a subscription fee or something for watching this amazing trip in high quality
I know right? Also the sound is high level

"The world and internet in particular is so often build on jealousy on seeing what someone else is or has done and feeling left out or less than" - Peter McKinnon
"The internet is fueled by narcissism" has to be the best line because it is so true. What a great video! What an important video! Thanks.
The internet is not fuelled by narcissism. It is fuelled by porn.
Urban Monk how is porn narcissism? 🤔
Sadly it is.
Surprising coming from a narcissistic dude like Mckinnon.
@@veritechdcs9937 9:35 :)
What did one mountain say to the other mountain?
Mountain: “Is that Peter?”
In all seriousness this is really cool and I can’t wait to see the film!!!! Such gorgeous footage dude
Lizzie Peirce, LOL!
Lizzie Peirce you’re so close to 100k!!
Lizzie Peirce wait, that wasn’t the whole film?
I think this is the film. Am I wrong?😅
Other Mountain: "i dunno... can't remember."
🥁
"...there's something here that reminds me why I'm alive." - Thank you Peter. Thank you.
UA-cam doesn't deserve this quality content. But i'm so happy it's in this platform
I always come back to watch this video. Pete just makes the kind of content that makes you painfully miss a place you’ve never even been to.
Well said. I just came back to watch this myself!
My favorite part of watching Pete’s videos is that I can feel that his heart is in it and his heart seems pure.
imake images couldn’t agree more...
When you genuinely put you're heart into something, everybody can see it. That's why only who has a pure heart can do it.
Netflix needs to pick you up for a full documentary
so true!
yes!
Do it!
I agree!
but plot twist, it should be about making documentaries....
There is nothing more satisfying than watching Peter McKinnon's documentaries.
YESSSSS AGREED
100 % tru
Watch makeartnow
Peter, it's because of this video that I'm starting to love taking photos with my phone.
I am also learning to use the enhancements for the photos my phone has.
I am 53yr old retired & found a new interest.
Thank you.
have fun spending the rest of your your life doing the things you love dude. we all should be doing that no matter how old or young we are
That's amazing!! Enjoy your retirement, I wish I'll be retired at your age!
Congratulations Sir 🤗 have a good day.
Man where are you living if you are retired at 53... My Father turns 62 this year and still no retirement in sight... Enjoy your new Hobby and retirement!
@@patrikkondic83 I started in Corrections at 25.
Did over 25yrs as a career & my age & yrs of service gave me the magic numbers to get out.
So I've watched this in 4k with my new Sony Headphones and everything is so well crafted. Man, do we need to pay for this?
Gary Jahman lucky! My headphones can’t do videos. ;)
@@dangermittens haha I was too excited when I wrote this 🤣🤣
So do you want to make a short film or a vlog?

It should be a crime to put out such amazing content for free on YT.
Absolutely insane.
I see your point, but on the contrary, I think that it is supremely important that something so amazing is indeed, for free. Then everyone can get access to it, and enjoy. We have the resources, but maybe people who don't, will appreciate that. Cheers! (and thank you Peter)
@@WillyFoxx true, I just meant that people would pay good money to see such beautiful content! :)
@@vishshsh i got ya ;) this is high quality stuff. Has to be appreciated but not always is, nowadays.
Here comes the INDIANS 🕺👈👺
It's not free... UA-cam collects your data, sells it to other third parties- who make big money by selling products, they now have the data that says this guy gets views, so they pay him for advertising their product and trafficking more people to them. Everyone gets a piece of the cake. Nothing is free son, you just have to be smart enough to understand the flow of economy
Dude , you just adding an enormous value to UA-cam.
No he isnt hes adding more dollars to his pockets
Evan Butler exactly
@@evanbutler9813 i can even pay him for such an amazing content
More importantly, Peter is inspiring millions. Myself included. Stunning work!
Some pieces are just timeless. This is one of those pieces. 5 years later, message still relevant, the artwork still masterful. Thanks Peter McKinnon for loving what you do and continuing to be a student of the craft, despite being a master already.
"The Bucket Shot video will be tough to beat"
Peter, "Hold my beer"
Very inspirational.
John N it should be “hold my coffee”
💯
Arif Farhan i was just about to say that lol
But the bucket shots are miles better than this. I felt inspired watching that. Here it's just pete hanging out with his friends. Doesn't really hit that much for me
Dude I don‘t even know how its possible to create something so humble, so genuine and so very truthful... everybody is bashing social media and influencers while to me discovering people like you just gives me so much inspiration, so much energy and even purpose so thanks for doing what you love and sharing it with us and i hope you won‘t ever stop making these vids ✌🏻
You're right dude, I absolutly agree with you.
Watching Peter Mckinnon is more useful and joyful than the Instagram influencers or the Kardashians.
My parents: "What do you want to be when you grow up?"
Me: "Peter McKinnon"
Drew Ramboer me too and I’m 52 🤣
sameeeee
ME
Why is it so true tho?😂
For real lol
"The internet is fueled by narcissism, but the mountain... won't remember me."
EVERY! TIME! Like a punch to the gut! It's so clarifying every time.
You know this channel will give you doses of truth that always give a good gut punch!
gives me chills everytime
that's because the mountain *knows* who you *truly* are.
paranormal activity : make movies look like its a volg
Peter McKinnon : make vlog look like a movie
FACTS!
Love it. :D
"The easiest thing to take for granted is the people and places you see everyday" thanks for another inspiration Peter, you are the reason I bought a camera in the first place, and you continue to inspire me to go out and create.
That intro when the Banff came on the screen is literally the coolest one i have seen. gave me goosebumps.
re-watching after 7 times.... still get goosebumps. June 2021. Love your work man.
“I think you already know the answer” gave me goosebumps, dang!
Damn you're right!
This is so inspiring. More please. Seriously Incredible.
Love it. “Ran out of leaves, had to go higher.” -SH 😂
George Fernandez hahahahaha best leaf guy in the game
There's not a lot of UA-cam videos that I come back and re-watch. This is my sixth time watching this. Anyone else?!
yeahhh I've watched this like 5 or 6 times as well
I may or may not be watching this for like the 8th time.
Just rewatched for the fourth time today.
I keep coming back
This is my first. The ads are still playing. Should I bail now before it's too late? 🤣 I got shit to do today
"The internet I fueled by narcism..." This is great! My favorite part
i agree .
I love the combo of cinematic and vlog. Makes me feel like I was on the trip with y’all
i was just thinking the same thing... what a great combo...
Charlotte Gottfried yeah it was the perfect format!
Watching this makes me feel like I’m not doing enough, it makes me sad that I’m not, but happy that I could.. in essence... I don’t know how this makes me feel.. but I’m glad I watched it because I can feel his joy..

When you genuinely feel that someone is sharing not to brag but to spread happiness.

I’m now finally putting wheels in motion to create something for myself inspired by this. Thank you so much Peter, you have no idea how much you inspire those who follow you.
peter has more of a director's mindset than a cinematographer, love how he makes us feel :)
I want to do this for a living. I don’t even know where to start but watching your videos are making me cry. I need to get out of bed.
then.. DO IT! If you are just laying, lazing around rn, get up, and start. "What if"s are one of the worst things you could say.
for real
get up and light that fire inside you
Simple, dude. It's a Vlogumentary. I love these formats.
I watched that video when it came out, and I was teenager back then. Now when I am a little bit mature - the words Peter says has much deeper meaning to me right now. It brings me so many memories honestly, but not only that fascinates me.

Definition of Peter: Legend
I remember starting this video and moments later it was already over, I didn’t even manage to blink. Watched it breathless. Peter you are an absolute legend!
You said it!
I couldn't see the whole video clearly as my eyes would tear up with joy, happiness, enthusiasm, inspiration, you name it.

I think I have watched this mini-doc/vlog/film like 20 times! It brings me so much peace and inspiration! You are a legend Pete!
Absolutely a LEGEND!! 🔥
anyone: "Who inspires you?"
Me: Peter Mckinnon
Yes! I just grabbed my camera and my bag of gear. I thought I need to film something. Anything. haha cheers Pete
TBH!!!

Same!!

Periodically, I always come back to this video. It invokes so much emotion and is truly inspiring.
When the music started ramping up in the end I felt my heart in my chest. It was amazing. Can't describe it
When the video doesn't start with "what's up everybody?", it sure has something special. I was damn right!
It's ''Pwhatsup''
To be accurate.
Fantastic footage and photos!
yes it is something almost out of this world

Amazing video, Pete. My favorite that you've done.

The bucket shot was pretty epic...
Just wow, what a masterpiece! I don’t even know how I feel right now. Peter is just setting the standard really high 🙌🏼 ❤️. What an inspiration!
