My name is Michael Stevens, I'm the creator of the Vsauce
network of channels which is now three
channels strong
we investigate all kinds of curious cool
things about the world whether they be
scientific, "What if the
earth suddenly stop spinning" or
based on human achievement "what is the
shortest
poem in the world" I wanna find questions
that haven't really
been answered very well. "when are
we gonna run out of names."
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.
