It's a very nice day.

Hello and welcome back to another episode of Daniel at the River.

So today I want to talk about how and why I secretly film people using my GoPro 7. So it mainly began when I noticed that some people enjoy watching me interact with other people. It also helps me get the video to 10 minutes. So you might be wondering, why do I do it secretly? Why don't I just

walk up to people with a camera in my hand and make it obvious that I'm filming them? Well, there's several problems with that. Number one, I just don't really feel comfortable walking up to people and then filming them. I think most people would not like it if a stranger just came up to them and then started filming

without telling them why. For me personally, I would find it very irritating if someone just came up to me and started filming me. And I also just don't really feel very confident filming in front of people. That's why I keep coming to this river to make videos. It's because there's no one else around here and I feel

comfortable talking to myself like a crazy person. So in order to avoid feeling embarrassed and to avoid angering people and getting told off for trying to film them, the best solution that I could come up with was to secretly film them using a GoPro attached to my bag strap. And this is my GoPro. I have it right

here attached to the clamp which clamps onto my bag strap like so.

As you can see, it's upside down. Okay, so I have the GoPro attached to where I normally attach it.

As you can see, it's not very obvious that I have a GoPro attached to my chest, and my top tip is to wear dark colors so the GoPro blends into whatever you're wearing. If you wear a white shirt, for example, obviously the GoPro is going to stand out more and people are going to notice it. And to

make the GoPro less noticeable, you may have realized that I have black tape taped to the front of the GoPro. That's because the GoPro has a front-facing screen that shows you numbers when you start recording, and this will just give it away that you're filming. So the best thing that I managed to do is, well, you just

cover up the screen using black tape. It's not It's not rocket science. I also turned off all of the sounds the GoPro makes when you start recording, and I also turned off the LED lights. Usually there's a red light that flashes and blinks when you're recording. That can be very annoying, so I switched all of those things

off, covered the front screen, covered the logos, and what you have is a stealth mode GoPro. Very hard to notice, especially when you're wearing a black t-shirt. And you may be wondering, don't people ever notice that you're filming them? And the answer is no, not really. Yes, sometimes when I'm playing back the video, I do notice that

they're looking directly into the lens of the GoPro, but that just means they've noticed the GoPro. They still don't know if I'm filming them. There's no way they can actually tell if you're filming or not unless they touch the GoPro, and most people won't touch your stuff unless you let them. Now, there's a very nifty trick that

the GoPro can do, and that is to turn off the display after 1 minute of filming. So just imagine the scenario that you're filming and then they ask you to stop filming. You just say, I'm not filming, and then you do this.

Look, the screen is turned off. I'm not filming. And the only way the screen will turn itself back on is if you tap it. So the only way they'll find out that you're filming is if they ask you to touch the screen to reactivate it, and no one's going to ask you to do that. No one's asked

me to do that, so you'll be fine. Look, this guy's copying me. He has a tent

by the river. And you might be thinking, oh, it's not very nice of you, Daniel, to secretly film people. And yeah, it's not very nice, but I don't think it's very nice when people leave rude comments about me on my comment section calling me a dickhead and telling me to fuck off. I don't think that's very nice

either, but do you see me complaining about it? No. And if you think about it, we're all being filmed without our permission all of the time. You walk into a shop, and the security camera's filming you, you don't know what they're going to do with that video footage. When I worked in a petrol station, we had hundreds

and hundreds of terabytes of footage from the security cameras of customers. Who knows if the manager downloaded it all and then took it home and uploaded it somewhere. You know those television programs where they show you funny clips from CCTV cameras of people trying to rob shops. They just upload that to TV without asking for anyone's permission.

I just don't think it's a very big deal. Everyone's filming everyone, and why do they complain anyway? It's not like their face is secret. They go outside and thousands of people see their faces anyway. Why would you complain about thousands of people seeing your face on a video online? When you don't really care if thousands of people

outside in public see your face when they walk past you. I wonder what they're doing.

Maybe they're fixing the bridge.

Maybe they're hiding a secret prize and the first person to climb up there and retrieve it wins the prize. Maybe not. Okay, so I've run out of things to talk about when it comes to secretly filming people, so for the last 2 minutes of the video, I would like to tell you about my— I would like to

tell you— I would like to tell you about my upcoming meeting with a famous YouTuber who goes by the name of Elvis. You may know who he is. It's pretty bizarre, but he is indeed flying all the way to Japan to come and see me and to make videos with me. I'm still kind of surprised that he's

going to spend so much money to fly all the way to Japan from America just to make a video with me where he's going to ask me a bunch of questions, and all I have to do is answer his questions

and then we'll hang out and make some vlogs, I guess. And yeah, I'm feeling pretty nervous about it. If the wind would stop blowing, that would be great.

I'm mainly feeling nervous about it because if you've ever seen me do an interview with someone, I'm not very good at doing interviews. The stupid people over there keep banging. It's very hard to make a video here. Especially with the wind blowing as well. I'm just not very good at doing interviews. I've done a few in the

past. George Trombley from Japanese from Zero did one interview with me. I also did an interview with Nobita from Japan, and they asked me these fairly in-depth questions, complicated questions that I just didn't really know the answer to, or I didn't really have a very good answer to. And if you've seen me do an interview with anyone

before, It's usually them asking me questions and then me just going, um, maybe, um, yeah, I guess, I don't know. I'm just not very good at doing interviews and I get nervous and I freeze up. And even if I have a good answer to one of the questions, because I feel nervous, it makes me— it makes it

difficult for me to give out the answer. I'm also feeling a bit nervous about my skin. Some of you may know that I don't have very good skin, and sometimes I use beauty filters and I use low-quality video to hide it. And Elvis is going to use a good camera, isn't he? He's a professional, professional YouTuber, so

he's going to have good gear. He's going to have probably a DSLR or a mirrorless camera at least, and everyone's going to find out how bad my skin is. All the freckles, the blemishes, the

the pimples,

and I'm not looking forward to people making fun of me for that. I've always felt pretty insecure about my skin. If I get a big pimple, it just ruins my mood for the entire week, and it will take about a week for it to, to heal and go away, and then there's a scar afterwards. And then he's

going to rely on me to show him around and take him to fun places. And since I know Japanese, I'm guessing he's going to rely on me to do all the talking with Japanese people.

So yeah, there's lots of things I'm worried about. He asked me where we could go to that would be fun to make a video in. Or at? I don't really know many fun places in Osaka. Yeah, I live here. I've lived here for nearly 2 years, but I don't go out much. I don't socialize. My favorite place

is here at the river. I don't think he would find it very interesting. And it's my favorite place because there's not many people. All the people are on the other side. Everyone else, they're all on that side of the river, and that's— that's how I like things. I like it when everyone is

far away from me. I am looking forward to meeting him, and I like him. I think he's a cool person, and it'll be interesting to meet him, but there's— yeah, there's a few things I'm worried about. I guess to most people they sound like stupid things.
