He doesnt have nice eyes anyways to be honest. His eyes always tell the story of a man who gets little sleep but it looks more like he had just seen a man die in his arms as he stole his last breath from a gentle kiss.

lmao

Theres a vlog on that!

He explains it several times. It's so that he can watch the camera monitor, to check framing and composition etc, without looking distracted. It's also now become his trademark / look now. Part of the brand.

Just to make it clear, I know why he wears glasses & watch him regularly. This is just a joke in case anyone doesn't know what humour is.

You need more subs man

You and Nerdwritter should absolutely do a video together........just sayin

My three favorite KZfaqrs, Casey, exurb1a, and Nerdwriter. :)

yes

How is it that my favorite KZfaqrs are all here in this video and comments section? I must have died and gone to heaven.

Emma Goode his upper lip under his massive nose

Hahaha, awesome!

🤣🤣

micelitestudios he stopped "daily" vlogging

Yeah, he stopped daily vlogging, but continues to upload quality content. Some his super recent videos seem to be bringing back the vlog feel, but that could just be wishful thinking. His content is still great.

It's still all online, just watch.

Casey started vlogging again!

DAVID

Learn English David. Maybe Alex can teach you.

How's Rio David?

You're amazing...is this subtle?

How the hell did I find you here

Love you too!

It makes you appreciate everything he does much much more

But that's the thing about Neistat, his work is his life. That's how much he loves it. He gets bored and doesn't know what to do when he's not doing his work.

Not even joking, I just discovered your videos yesterday (through an article that featured your video on Dennis from It's Always Sunny being a serial killer) and I've been binging them ever since. Truly great work, man. Keep it up!

Gary Vaynerchuck is the same way

First comment

I actually did the same thing... 😂

I wonder has he gotten through Caseys 400- 500 other vlogs since that comment.. and don't forget The Neistat Brothers HBO series and the Snapchat stories channel oh and the Caseys classics channel. There might be more.

I couldn’t finish even one. I don’t know, not my thing.

tis the rabbit hole

This deserves more likes

Love it!

Anthony same

lol Same

@Tigress Faberge everyone's got a bad side

This is Nerdwriter... That is not his thing.

I agree 100%

hows this channel special when he dont have to leave his chair.

lol whut?

Hes just commenting over material thats already made by other people, i dont see hows thats speacial thats all.

+i grand U think this video took him a couple hours? To think up, to make and then edit u must be cray cray. He also works hard

and following that inspiration has lead me to incredible places

This video was the first, real, proper introduction to his work I can see the appeal. He really is a master since he was the first person to combine two art forms: The Vlog, with expert camera technique. A master makes what they do look simple, but there is a strong foundation of skill beneath that many miss. People want to live the highlights of his life, but not put in the time and effort to earn that success. It's why they don't get the same views.

Agree! I love when Casey does a shot/edits in a way i would have too in that situation, but to be completely authentic, i would never do what he does the way he does it. There has to be uniqueness in what you do creatively because when it comes to techniques and angles etc, nothing is new under the sun. Everybody can fly a drone, and set up a shot, but it takes your own creativity to do something that's not been done before.

I'd say that people know on some level why a thing is fascinating or unique, but can't consciously say why. Such as PokemonGo. It takes something familiar and places it in a new style (Geocaching) on an a device that is common. It also fixes problems that many free to play games have that turn people away with micropayments by removing the pay for success model, and having the items for sale an option to the user. A direct copy would be identified in an instant, and people would return to the original creator. Because the original creator has shown a level of skill, and perked your curiosity via novelty. That novelty wears off over time, and exposure due to how dopamine works. In a survival sense, this is a good thing because constant dopamine dose would stop you from doing anything and you'd die. For creative work, this forces the artist to survive by pushing their knowledge and work ahead to get noticed.

well not everybody wants to be original, he did inspire those who wanted to be m, and they knew him before he became so popular...and he did inspired me, I can remeber omit was about early in 2013 I found his movies and I watched all other until 4 am, I was trilled, if I would discover vlogs now I could watch max 3, there is acually no story to tell, no thopic, it's just his life...before you could leave him on deseted island and he would make interesting deep movie about something...nowdays it's just about him. I mean I dont need to watch it, but for selfish reason I miss those old videos that didnt have that popularity

His brother Van Neistat directed Sachs' latest movie project.

Yeah, not taking away from the fact these brothers are talented, just noticing the similar studio set-ups and gizmo's and style.

Mutualist I'd never heard of Sachs until now. Looked him up. Yep, a lot of similarities aesthetically.

I think it's Van who does those videos not Sach.

Mutualist u mean Van

Same^^

+Kyle Reynolds lol

Saaaaaame I swear that's probably most people

Yeah brother same :)))

I was hoping it was exactly that.

love your videos man. Good luck with the camera tripod

nice second bait acount, you have good content, you don't need to do this

Lol you're doing something right with that many subscribers.

ChickenLord BG he doesnt have a second account.. thats his main

You're talented enough brother. In fact on a few of your videos, you have mastered Casey's style. I know when I start in a couple of weeks my style of video will be on par with caseys. THe biggest thing like the great one himself has said, is story. You've got to build towarads something. But my problem is, even with trying to start a successful startup, how can one do this while working an 8-5. Casey has a slight advantage over most of us because he's been blessed to officially be funded and have pre-exisiting capital. But my mind is free, ive got the equipment, I want to see how far I can take my channel, AnimeBusters and build a story around it.

Interesting... and true, at least from what I saw.

This includes literally kids who are toddlers. It seems that Casey works for everyone :D

He has a cross-age appeal :D

how do you know?

yesterday i was babysitting a 5 month old who got really fussy and started crying i played one of casey's vids and i kid you not he just got instantly mesmerized by the drone shot and the music. thats how i feel every time Casey puts out a new vid and that why hes the greatest youtuber that ever lived

+

Infomercial bloopers > people on youtube who like the sound of their own voice too much and make 20 minute videos on a cell phone millions of people already own or a pillow.

I agree 100%, I couldn't stand these misleading commercials and that's why I started my reviewing channel. I believe raw reactions of a product is the best way to get the confirmation whether you should buy it or not. Great comment!

Like when AirBNB failed 3 days ago when someone rented a whole house as a hotel, used it for porn shoot. Turned on the water and left. Damage total $10,000

Point well well spoken.

The equipment I really don't think is the issue. His true genius is in the planning, most vlogs are amateurish because there is no planning. Casey has a plan, he knows the shots, he knows the basic content of each video. If people spent more time planning and less time worrying about equipment their content would be better. Casey simply has lots of skill at planning content, planning the shot, and editing. Those things come with lots of practice. Yes and sometimes life happens while you're planning and you can get awesome content too.

It's called working with a certain style. It doesn't mean you are a professional that somehow you need to look exactly like all other professional. Find your niche and exploit it....

Apologies in advance if I misunderstood something... but isn't that exactly what this video was saying? "there is nothing amateurish about" Casey, except the 'style' of the videos, which nerdwriter goes on to explain that the lack of corporate influence and polish is what makes 'daily vlogs' successful on youtube. Think your point and this video are trying to communicate the exact same things!

nah its more like they watch it to see something that inspires them day in and day out. It could be that person, it could be the style of the vlog, or it could be something they do everyday in the vlog like working out, etc. They watch it for inspiration to say "well if he can do it, so can i"

I watch Casey's vlogs because he does a lot of interesting things and I really enjoyed watching them when he was creating Beme because it was interesting to see someone run a business. Beme failed, but his vlogs took off and it amazes me how much work and detail he puts into his work every day. His vlogs aren't the typical boring watching someone's life, Casey really makes a movie everyday.

Yes. Living in India, life seems quite bland. And as an introvert, I am always curious to what this species called extroverts do in their life. Seems quite fun actually.

Prajay Basu introvert and extrovert are mentalities. Just be yourself in public and get out the comfort zone. Practice makes perfect.

+yodaddy. It isn't always that easy, but I appreciate your encouragement :)

The Crude Brothers??!? whaaat hahah Heyy!!!!!!

Oh wait ik u guys huge fan

The Crude Brothers I

Clickbait titles...

I was kind of expecting something like that. This was a nice surprise.

Nerdwriter has been very vocal about how much he appreciates Casey. If you knew about the Nerdwriter's style of video, then you would know that he doesn't make pure hate videos. Even when talks about things he dislikes, it is rational and done in a relatively respectable manner.

ASENBAISEN This was literally the first video I've ever seen by this guy. Never even heard about him until this video. But that's pretty cool, I guess. I'm glad I wasn't the only one thinking it was gonna be a hate video, haha.

me.....lol

I can't imagine casey quit doing vlogs. He would probably vlog his funeral.

me too Colin Sevier I even receive notification when he upload it

I was thinking the same thing. Pretty impressive.

yeah i can't imagine him ever stopping them either, i think his mind is too creative and he needs to keep busy

Great Vlog on Casey Neistat! You did a spectacular job explaining his way of life & style of FILM MAKING! I wake up everyday WEST COAST! To watch Casey's Episode's! My days are filled with me trying to get my hands on a real Vlogging camera! Not complains though....bought all the equipment to turn my small 200sq ft apt into my channels Studio! just being disabled with an incurable illness & have to use a motor scooter to get around now. "Health Matter's!" Coming soon! to help others like myself!🍁 💞🌐💫📷🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟✔🌄🎭🎼🎶🌼📷???? Pretty please! Most Sincerely this camera would send my new carrer into full shooting mode! PEACE LOVE & DREAM'S! Most Sincerely Crystal Elk. 🍁 💞🌐💫📷🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟✔🕊💗💭🎬

I hope so!

Ahaha an educational video that isn't cringy and is well-formedff going viral. Ahahahahahaha nice one. With the highest subscribed person here being a person screaming at games, most viewed noe being a rap 2% of the world understands and another big channel being 2 guys doing brainless comedy for 10 year olds. You sure have some really pink glasses.

I concur

Marcos!! Haha

Erik! The internet's a small place.

Love you fam

Hi!

Yo lahwf a reply would be dope

Keep it to yourself Andrew...

love you, dad

Love your channel Dan & Lincoln! Keep rockin' :)

BUT EVERYONE SADLY HATES LINCOLN! :(

Lincoln can go fuck himself

+HowToGuide I laughed way to hard, sorry

same

same at first lmaooo

same lol

Thought the same and was pretty curious about it. Because there is not much to "expose" him for. He does his videos they are pretty good he works hard on them he is not a bad person and does not try to create any drama with anyone, the only thing that you might not like about him is some of his opinions on stuff, as his political video which I completely disagreed. There is not much more to say about him, he is pretty open about stuff in his videos and all.

i knew this would be top comment

Daniel Edwards I thought so too

If you scroll down in the comments, casey has replied to this video. ;)

Really what did he say?

+SuperBmaster100 look for the comment its just 3 days old, scroll down in the comments, it's pretty long. :)

Stefan Modigh Ahh, I never ever have to load more comments, so when I scrolled down before I would of never seen it lol.

+Stefan Modigh I can't find it

he already did in parts, so shouldn't it be your objective to revolutionize the film industry with what you picked up friom him ? ;)

Agree! He really did! nah, I just want to get away from the bureaucracy of making feature length films the traditional way :) I would rather launch a film on youtube for free if I could find the funding for making it. I think many established filmmakers will follow him and leave. Atleast many independent filmmaker (which I'am a part of). The youth will definitely not accept the industry as it is today. +Ryan Champ +Shpider Man

I love your videos!! so innovative and beautifully shot!

Thanks Sarah! It makes me so happy to hear that! +Sarah Manyoki

Great work! Subbed! Looking forward to more content!

caseyception

caception

Well Casey has like 5x more subs than Evans. If anything the nerd writer will get a bump in views, not Casey

I kinda pity the kind of people who wouldn't watch Casey's videos until they were intellectually legitimised… I was watching his for about a year before the nerdwriter started and love them both.

+Nick Cooper For sure there'll be some serious audience overlap for both.

Yup, more like it. Well deserved :)

yup

This girl has an army of invisible up-voters following her every comments.

Nice catch, Ami.

+

The boosted board/Drones/DSLR's are too! :D

ohhh.. and the healthy drinks :)

yeah frank is all about layers of irony and subversion of expectation

Hahahah yes

NNNYYYYYYEEEEESS

That's a really good idea!

YES

I know right! Coolest thing ever

I'm really only familiar with his vlog work and I'm a fan. What was it about the pre-vlog work that you liked? I do enjoy some of the trips (such as the iceberg story with the jetski and helicopter) more than the daily life stuff, is that the type of thing that was more common before the vlog, or was it something else?

coma13794 Have you seen the Make It Count, Bike Lanes, Build An iPhone Dock, $13,238.86 left in a NYC taxi, My Girlfriend Candice, Bike Thief, Food Calories, etc? Those are the answer, really. It was great waiting +2 months for a new video, one with so much work and care put into it that made the wait worth it.

I think those works seem better because they were few and far between, and also developed and polished with the help of time. You can't really compare a video edited in 2-3 hours, to a video that's been edited and re-edited and color corrected and has been allowed breathing room and fresh sets of eyes to weigh in. Not all of his daily vlogs are hits, I agree, but there's a lot of awesome stuff in there, despite the rushed execution.

Laura Frances I can, and am comparing them. It's not a matter of colour correction or extremely cautious editing, if you have followed Neistat for a long enough time, you should know that the guy believes ideas and stories are what's truly important. Vlogs are vacuous and lack substance in general, his vlogs are the better of the bunch, but they are still just that, vlogs. His older movies showed clever ideas executed with a unique style that was completely his own making. But hey, if that's what he's into now, good for him. I just don't like the attitude of his fan base at the moment, and feel somewhat alienated. I just see his previous format as the superior material.

I wasn't saying you couldn't compare them if that's what you wanted to. You can obviously do whatever you want. I only meant that comparing these two things would be unfair because they're different things, undergone through different processes. It's like comparing a bird to a fish and saying the bird is better for not being able to fly, when fishes are not suppose to fly. I have followed Neistat since before the vlogs and those early videos where the hook. They're awesome and deeper and yes, better! So I agree with you there. But I guess you also do agree that his vlogs are the better of the bunch, and that's what I believe too. I'm not a huge fan of vlogs in general, but his, his i love.

+

+

The only problem would be there would be just too much of them to skim through. Don't you think?

Showing how the cavemen lived

His vlogs are strikingly beautiful, entertaining, interesting (Casey is telling his story - it's basically a documentary memoir), inspiring, masterfully edited, and philosophical.

Watching Casey's vlogs is like a TV show. Entertainment.

also they're like 8 minutes each, you won't be losing much of your day watching him

I get your point but it's the same thing with sitcoms like Friends, it's just regular people living their normal lifes and maybe something happens once in a while. However Friends do have an interesting story to follow but nonetheless it's still just a show following regular people around living their lifes.

+BeardedButtCrack Not everyone has the money to travel and the the things he does and use watching him is like being in another perspective

+

If you watch his vlogs you would know hes just a presence there, he doesn't actually do much. He answers emails, says yes or no, that sort of thing. In this day in age with smartphones and tablets, you can run a company in the comfort of your couch. What he does to make videos is another story - and his traveling is off the board too.

They honestly aren't that clickbait... They are more "fun" the titles relate to something within the video but not heavily. Personally RomanAtWoods titles are more clickbait. The amount of times his thumbnails/titles include his girlfriend being sexual, crying or anything emotional is insane. He is overrated af

Learn to spell then complain.

Actually his entire videos are clickbait. Repetitive and after a while they are all the same basic script just different location. Same style of cut. Put some trendy music and what not.

I hate actual clickbait, especially thumbnails of scenes that don't really appear in the video. That kinda crap deserves a thumbs down >:/ Casey doesn't do that though. His titles and thumbnails are relevant to the video's content.

He once said that he tries to be as cklicbaity as possible. He´s kind of making fun of it

Ha thats awesome

Examples?

I also notice this!

It's different than just jump cuts.

He'll cut BEFORE an entire word or even a phrase if it's obvious what he is going to say. I'm not sure if I like the technique in general, but it seems to work well for his personality.

also his voice is annoying AF and he is always wearing sun glasses - even inside, trying to hide his ugly mug..

well i learned something today then, but what about 3:32 for example? his sitting pretty far from the camera to be centering him self in his glasses.. and he is inside?

Maybe vlogs are not for you then, but there is a big audience which likes such kind of content. He hasn't started his vlogs much time ago and already has 4 million subscribers who look like not caring about his voice or ugliness. But if you do like vlogs, what vlog would you suggest as having a better content?

ali 112 its not because of his appearence that i dont watch his videos, i dont get anything from them but cool effects, its like watching fireworks, its cool to watch but what did i gain from watching it? i like watching cody's lab, viceland documentary, nick bare, munchies.. lots of different content.

Astrix321 So indeed vlogs definitely are not for you. They are supposed to be just entertaining as sports are for many people. The difference between Casey and others is that he puts more effort on production and puts less in revealing his familiar life than others.

I would subscribe to him a week if I were you. If you aren't into his content by seven episodes, he's not for you. I was sketchy on him at first when I noticed him on my feed. Now, when I miss episodes I actually take the time to backtrack and pick back up on his life.

Yes. This is a consequence.

+Powerbang Gaming word.

Alright, I did give it a go, watching Casey for a week, and... it's not for me. I like him, I appreciate the work that goes into his videos, some of the shots where really bordering on being extraordinarily beaufitul. I also don't feel inadequate or somesuch. I need to stop watching because it takes too much time, and is not enough intellectual stimulation. It's a bit like watching a real life soap opera. That's just my two cents, anyway.

+Craparella Smørrebrød Exactly, its like watching a tvseries about some great guy doing cool things. Yeah, thats nice to watch when you are bored but thats not the real life. And while the actor on the series is paid to do those things you are just wasting your time watching him.

+

+Mistermaarten150 yeh...no

lmao guys i was kidding hahaha but what if

They are a real slice of his life. His life just happens to be different than most.

How the hell are they not.

I think they are real, but just a "slice", just what he wants you too see. There's neve anything intimate in there or anything about his work outside of KZfaq, but the things that we actually see I believe is "real" :)

neve*

They are. You've had moments of either mundaneity/boredom or excitement, haven't you? Same shit. Only delivered through a camera (or cameras for Casey, at least).

Agreed

Casey and Louis is it for me.

If you like Casey you should check out Jon Olsson to, it's not as creative camerawork but good enough to be enjoyed!

I like a lot what Casey does, but damn if I hate his clickbait titles.

he doesn't really click bait, I mean that's what i think

With a theme of democratization of media sprinkled in, nothing you have to watch the video to get or anything

Could you explain what you mean by "theme of democratization of media"? It sounds interesting, but I'm not the sharpest blade in the knifeholder.

democratization, as in, anyone can make it, ranging from a DIY approach to a fully funded production

Maggy Frog Thank you for explaining!

I'd say his style is beyond professional. Calling it amateur doesn't sit right knowing the amount of hours he has spent perfecting his craft while going against the grain. He's iconic.

yep

Thank you ..

Art is everything.

Dan Bilzerian is practically pornography. I don't believe there should be validation in art either. it is simply subjective. it is humanity's only pure creation.

i wanted to say that.

"art is everything" lol oh my goodness, what planet is this poser from?
