BIKE LANES
SNOWBOARDING WITH THE NYPD
You may or may not know the name
Casey Neistat, but you damn sure will recognized both
Bike Lanes and / or
Snowboarding with the NYPD. I discovered
Casey is a very unique way. I remember seeing both videos when they first dropped at their respective dates, but I A) didn't know who did it and B) didn't know they were by the same person. I never investigated. I watched the video, enjoyed it and moved on. It was maybe 3 weeks ago I was doing a search on
YouTube, looking for Wide Angel Lens for my camera that I stumbled on another
YouTuber's review of a Lens I was interested in. In that person's Recommended Feed, I saw another of his videos breaking down the 'Gear' that
Casey used. I watched his breakdown and it was interesting, but I decided that I needed to go to the actual source and see what all the fuss was about and that's how I landed on
Casey's YouTube page and realized who he was. Since then I have been checking out a few of his Vlogs on a daily basis and the guy really is good at what he does. What's really fascinating is seeing how much of a celebrity he is around the States because of what he does. Very inspiring to see him crank out high quality stuff every day.
On a technical standpoint, I am very impressed by his commitment to do a daily Vlog everyday. He releases new content every morning. There is a lot of work going into these Vlogs and he makes them so damn interesting and entertaining. I was never one to check out any
YouTubeer that did Vlogs because a lot of them are really bad and worst of all.....boring. But
Casey has it down cold. He knows how long each shot should be and when to cut away to the next. He uses music in a great way and there is always something new and different with each Vlog to keep you coming back for more. The best thing about them is that they are very short. Your in and out and able to move onto something else. Watching his Vlogs reminded me of my own that I did for a College Course in
Graphic Arts and Designs and one of the test we had to do was having to do a "
Day in the Life" short film that had to utilize certain camera moves, shots, narration, etc....As I remember it, this was back in 2007 I think. Anyway, back on point, check out some of his videos over
