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 here

I mentioned a few post back how there are a lot of "Tutorials" out there on Casey's style and technique. This video  zeroes in on how he goes about telling his story. What's funny is that when I got into Casey's backlog of videos, I did the same thing without really thinking about it. I took mental notes of what Casey was doing, seeing certain patterns he was following, how he edits and how he manipulates music, etc.... Everything that is discussed here, I already knew, but it's kind of fun to watch someone else "teach" something I already figured out. This video and the guy doing it, does a great job of pinpointing Casey's crucial steps and why they work so well.

This is insane! I know that Private Jets have sh*t like this, I just never knew that commercial Jet Liners pimped out their planes to this extent. FYI, I'm a plane noob. I've only been on two flights in my life, the last being in 1995. So I have very little knowledge of what is actually out there with regards to planes. As for Casey, with the amount of air travel he does, he likes to show off the planes he is on and what they offer. Up till now, the winner was definitely Virgin Atlantic....until this video. Sheesh!
