When the opportunity to work with Field Day came up I was really excited. Sought as a a chance to try out different groove than usual not the Michael looking right into the camera telling you everything that he's researched that in the last two weeks. "Hey, Vsauce, Michael here". I wanna be more conversational and I want to be more explorational "What do you think draws such a diverse group of people to Whittier?" you to live a life that you want to live. Showing rather than telling. it's pretty mind-blowing to be inside of a mountain. For field day I went to a little town in alaska called Whittier. Whittier is not a big city it's not accessible by international airport, it is not even accessible by car except by a two-and-a-half mile long tunnel that only goes one way.
Its about as remote in sealed off as you can get but its beautiful the 200 so people who live there permanently all live in one building. What Whittier can tell us about how we define home, how we define being remote and how we can define humans are all things I want to explore in Whittier. your the whole town was in one building that weird to you? I've learned a lot about myself, am I an interviewer?
Am I explorer, am I the eyes and ears of the audience? And Field Day gave me a chance to feel out what it is that I'm good at, and what kinda things I'd like to be better. I hope that when people watch this video that I made in Whittier, they get scared at first and then they get existential about their own lives their own homes, their own habitats. And then they just feel really proud to be a human.
