Gav tackled the problem with a creative flare and led to the creation of The Slow Mo Guys: “I was the first foreign hire (at Rooster Teeth)… I didn’t qualify for any type of visa because I didn’t have a degree, so I looked at my situation and thought I can use these cameras, and YouTube exists, so if I can become big on YouTube, I can become well known enough to qualify for an O1 visa.” Taking the job wasn’t as easy it seemed, as navigating the bureaucracy of being a UK citizen trying to work in the US presented some issues. It’s a very community driven company, so typically, if they want to work with people they just hire straight from the community… They liked my style of making videos, and liked my personality I guess I have no idea why,” Gav chuckles. “I was a big fan of Rooster Teeth since I was 14 years old, so I’ve been following since a month after they started that company, and I became well known in that community. As his relationship with the company grew, he was offered a position creating content for them. Outside of his job, Gav was active with the online community for Rooster Teeth, known for projects including Red vs Blue and Drunk Tank. The pair, however, remained friends while pursuing very different paths. Meanwhile Dan joined the British military.

“I worked on hundreds of commercials and the occasional movie and music videos,” he says. Gav went on to pursue filmmaking, getting a job with Green Door Films, Europe’s first production house to utilize the high-speed Phantom.
SLOMO GUYS CRACK
We’re always trying to crack each other up and have some funny banter, so I think it worked out pretty well on camera.” I’d be like “go over there and trip over that thing” and he’d be like, “All right, I’m on it,” so we ended up with pretty good banter, and we also played video games together all the time, so I think that helped. Gav explains, “I’ve always been into cameras, so even before I had the slow mo cameras, I’d just make various videos with different friends just with normal video cameras stupid videos when we were teenagers… I always felt like Dan was the easiest to interact with on camera. Their friendship was cemented through gaming and making fun videos together in their backyards. Gav met Dan while they were working together at the British supermarket chain, Waitrose.
