1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,200
Alright Andy, what's going on? How are you doing? I'm doing great.

2
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:08,240
So for the people on Floatplane, what does the average day of a production supervisor at LMG look like?

3
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:15,680
Okay, so right now I'm doing like sort of like scheduling and also a lot of shooting and a lot of like

4
00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:23,680
going around between sets. Just make sure that we have the best flow and efficiency I guess.

5
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:28,480
Yeah. Does it get really busy a lot of the times? I mean there's so many videos we got to work on.

6
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:34,640
Yeah, so usually like Thursday and Friday it's like the most the busiest like

7
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:42,640
date for Shooterside. But because this week we're doing the April Fools video that takes like

8
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:48,720
eight set or eight setups so like it's kind of crazy like already even though it's like only

9
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:52,960
Wednesday. Right and that's eight sets just for one video right?

10
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:57,600
So how did you get your start at LMG? What did you do before you worked here actually?

11
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:04,560
So before here I worked at a tech company and which like they do like VR stuff so I was like

12
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:10,000
they're shooting like video and photo but in VR so I do a lot of like stitching and you know

13
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:15,520
yeah that kind of stuff but because I don't really have a lot of workload because they're still like

14
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:23,600
tech company like there are a lot of downtime for me because I've rendered a video and now like

15
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:30,480
the the pc or the mac that I had it was like i5 it was like super slow rendering a seven minute ak

16
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:36,960
footage that's like half a day. So I have a lot of downtime watching like youtube and really

17
00:01:36,960 --> 00:01:42,640
learn stuff from youtube but then I was like yeah I want to shoot some youtube video then I ended up here.

18
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:46,640
Did you watch LMG or LTT before? Yeah yeah for sure.

19
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:54,400
Not a super super long term long time like you were but like it was I started watching LTT around

20
00:01:54,400 --> 00:02:00,320
like 2017-ish. Did you ever build a pc before? No definitely. What was your first pc like?

21
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:09,120
So back in the day I was in China right? Yeah and my dad worked for um he had a job like that he

22
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:18,560
got like two PCs it was like in the 486 and maybe 586 error right and then one of the pc

23
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:25,040
have a better graphic card and one of the pc has a better CPU and that was like in grade one or two

24
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:29,840
so I swamped them. Oh wow so you're tinkering around with pc parts at a young age already? Yeah

25
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:36,560
pretty early yeah so like and my family got like 46 when I was like a kid so yeah. Oh that's pretty

26
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:44,160
when did you end up moving to Canada actually? It was like 2013 back in the day I was like I

27
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:51,440
was doing car review stuff like it's like a car website editor type of position right and that

28
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:58,000
involved a lot of like reading in English and back in the day I was like sub on English I was like

29
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:03,600
zero but I have to go on like English website to check this back and you know article and stuff

30
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:09,840
like that then I was like hmm maybe I should go learn English and so that's why I ended up here

31
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:15,520
yeah I still speak like both in English. Family wise like sometimes I have like still have like

32
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:20,800
the plural and stuff like that next up. Fair enough I mean it's still pretty impressive considering

33
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:26,800
you learned it pretty recently I mean 2013. No really because like it's kind of like you know

34
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:32,560
French for like English speaking Canadian right yeah it's like if you pay attention yeah you

35
00:03:32,640 --> 00:03:38,240
learn pretty quick but like I like the the education system in China like they start

36
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:43,280
pretty young like for you to learn English is around like grade one they start teaching you

37
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:49,600
English. That's it you mentioned you worked for a car a car review website yes what was your

38
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:55,200
favorite car when you were working there did you get to review anything? Yeah so um a lot of

39
00:03:56,160 --> 00:04:01,040
a lot of stuff it's like writing news and stuff kind of like tackling for like cars and stuff like

40
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:06,960
that. I see. And then we go out and shoot like picture for cars and you know put down the spec and

41
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:16,000
stuff but like we were doing a roundup around like 20 or like 30 cars in like in like 2012 I think

42
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:22,720

43
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:28,880

45
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:41,440
moment at LMG so far? I feel like CES is like the moment that I really enjoy because like I like

46
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:49,040
traveling and uh CES we're like having a lot of fun seeing like different like type of stuff

47
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:56,320
right it's just in general like the vibe of CES feels great um hopefully we can go back there

48
00:04:56,320 --> 00:05:02,080
again after like COVID yeah of course. Did you ever end up getting that bed fixed by the way?

49
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:11,760
Oh uh funny sorry uh I was gonna sew that away because it's like really broken but like my

50
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:17,680
father-in-law like just used some metal bracket and fixed that so it's fixed but like I wouldn't

51
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:22,800
really trust to jump on it again especially for Linus you know. It's good to know that it's not going

52
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:28,640
away yeah it's not going away and currently it's still in that room and you know I'm doing like

53
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:33,040
bed things. Did you all just kind of like walk it off and be like oh well that happened? I was like

54
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:37,760
grabbing stuff like I was grabbing like extension cord or like stuff like that I kind of kind of

55
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:45,280
remember but like when I was like when I was like when I was like at my desk and Linus jumped on me

56
00:05:45,280 --> 00:05:54,880
and it claps I didn't really expect that at all because like who know like Linus could clap my

57
00:05:54,880 --> 00:06:01,040
bed it's like okay I know it's IKEA but IKEA usually you know have like decent quality not like

58
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:07,040
shitty quality right right not I feel you I was surprised too like I mean it doesn't seem like

59
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:14,800
a huge jump at all no no yeah it was like it's broken like it's like so broken that it's like

60
00:06:15,280 --> 00:06:24,400
that basically. How long have you been into photography? Oh okay my first back in the day

61
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:29,520
when I was like you know in China my major was photography yeah that was like 2009

62
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:36,880
so I started photography around like 2009 yeah until now that's like 13 or 14 years

63
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:41,440
13 years that's really cool yeah by the way if you haven't checked out Andy's Instagram you

64
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:47,040
gotta check that out it's popped up right there random kid photo and you know family stuff yeah

65
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:52,640
sometimes I do snack like a little bit like street photography what's your inspiration getting into

66
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:59,200
it inspiration for like photography yeah yeah so inspiration for photography it was like back in

67
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:03,760
the day I really enjoyed like street photography I see a lot like YouTube video about like street

68
00:07:03,840 --> 00:07:09,600
photography and then I started like getting those like getting into like photo books

69
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:17,280
like a lot of those um masterpiece you can really learn stuff from them like either a

70
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:24,080
composition or exposure or how they how they you know like sees the moment that's something

71
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:28,560
really interesting to me so you would kind of go through a photo book just see like you know some

72
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:33,360
really well composed photos and kind of break them down yourself yeah and also like shoot a lot of

73
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:41,520
photos and also let the photos sit so a lot of time you take a photo and you see it oh my god this

74
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:48,480
is like a masterpiece right but after like 10 or 20 days then you review the photo again then you

75
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:54,560
will find like the little detail that you messed up or you know not so good at yeah right so let it

76
00:07:55,120 --> 00:08:00,880
right that's awesome I mean that leads into my next question I was gonna ask if you have any

77
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:05,280
advice for any like budding photographers out there what do you think they should

78
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:12,480
do when they're getting into it or what gear they should try and get okay um I would say

79
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:19,120
start with the prime or like the best camera is the camera that's always with you so it just

80
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:26,400
allocates your phone and like most of the phone has like a wide angle um non zoom lens right

81
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:32,560
but like digital zoom is not considering zoom for me so yeah just don't don't zoom in and use

82
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:42,480
whatever lens on your phone or on the on the camera you have just use that and use your feet

83
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:50,640
as the zoom ring and then you know play with like composition and make sure the contrast

84
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:59,680
and the color really helps you pop the you know have the make sure the contrast and the color

85
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:07,200
helps you have your subject pop in the frame or right you know have the like the story that you

86
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:13,040
trying to tell pop yeah so I mean how has fatherhood been you're a new father is that

87
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:21,200
correct so if you want to see a kid photo there on instagram um fatherhood it's something something

88
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:28,240
really in like enjoyable and sometimes can be a little bit like tired you know yeah a lot of

89
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:34,320
tiredness there because like it's pretty heavy for sure how old is your kid now it's like two

90
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:40,480
officially a toddler oh wow two one mom you know they call them the terrible twos right yeah it's

91
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:49,280
okay he just he's also a car guy oh yeah why but like he he sees like a car even without a badge

92
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:55,920
he sees the shape yeah and he knows what that brand is that's crazy but like a lot of the case he's like

93
00:09:56,880 --> 00:10:03,520
yodda da i was like what the heck is yodda da and then like i figure out that's toyota oh and you

94
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:10,000
have to agree to him like my kid is like if you don't agree to him he'll be mad and throwing this around

95
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:17,280
so that's a terrible terrible too but like when you see that he knows stuff you know that's really

96
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:21,840
really rewarding oh yeah it's gonna be gonna be a smart kid for sure yeah what's his favorite car

97
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:28,800
right now the toyota right now toyota and i introduced like g g r supra and oh it's like a lot of

98
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:34,880
the car we do together and he like g i and supra yeah so the g r supra so the new one not the old

99
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:40,400
one um yeah he doesn't really know the need the old one yet because we were watching we do the new

100
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:47,680
one it's always fun to have like you know your own hobbit and you know pass it like to your next

101
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:52,640
of course of course you think he'll get into photography at any point yeah yeah i mean he'll

102
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:58,960
have somebody to learn from right yeah because like compared to other kids um he's now super shy

103
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:04,960
to camera because i shoot him all the time i see yeah i guess that could help oh maybe he'll be a

104
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:11,520
youtuber who knows i don't know maybe i mean if he wants to get into that we have plenty of camera
