How does Casey Neistat make his videos? In this breakdown I try to find out what the success is behind his vlogging and filmmaking technique. We'll learn about camera angles, the three act structure and transitions. He is an editing and filmmaking genius!

People overcomplicate story so much. Casey's example of a story is literally just 1) what he did before Steve-O's podcast, 2) Steve-O's podcast, 3) what he did after Steve-O's podcast.

@MrWokyman 3 ай бұрын

I saw a great example of this when someone interviewed him. They asked multiple times why he dropped in a bit of music at a particular point, they were seemingly fixated on 'understanding' this, like there was a magic formula to it. Something like that comes down to feel, and intuition. Yes, you could delve into the technicalities of it, but Casey and many others don't work like that.

@melie3054 3 ай бұрын

@@MrWokymanlol I know exactly which interview you’re taking about. That stood out to me too how they were pushing so much into that when reviewing just the intro part of his video so far. But I thought also that the interviewer was just really overly passionate and fangirl-y. I noticed he was like that in another interview of a creator too.

I really noticed how much effort you have put into this video. Like travelling to the same places as the Casey clips you used. It takes a long time to plan and execute a video like this. Awesome Tom!

Well done video. Hard to believe it was about 7+ years ago when Casey was doing all his vlogs. I got hooked and watched them all...really wanted to start a channel. I worked on the sequences a bit, and did a couple random vlogs (no planned structure), and realized how much work it was. I recently signed up for his course, waiting for it to start in a week or so. I've started watching several of his old vlogs to be reminded of his style and how much joy they bring watching them. I'd love to bring that to people in my own videos. Anyway, I just stumbled on you with this video and subscribed....great quality and I love the details you put into this. Looking forward to seeing more of your work!

Excellent analysis and beautifully shot, guys. Thank you! I’m sure many will find this very useful, even though Casey is now running his own film-making course, as you said. I definitely hope to watch more of yours, despite this. You also got so many examples of Casey’s style in there, like even smaller details, such as his farewell to a person and the accompanying hand gesture. I started making notes to possibly apply these techniques in the near future.

Wow, fantastic breakdown. You've really put a lot of work into this. One technique I also see you copy well is when he starts a sentence, and then finishes it in a next shot. Makes it really dynamic. It's one thing to see and recognise it, but as you say, a whole different thing to actually go out and do it. Also, nice transition @ 3:08 with the person acting as a cross-over.
