Casey Neistat Vlog 013

I had a pretty great Saturday. Which means I didn’t get to think of a topic for today’s blog. So we are back to a Casey Vlog. He recently uploaded a vlog after 2 months I think. That was a happy day. But for now let’s go back to the past.
The vlog starts. Just as a I said, this is the cold opening of Casey’s vlog. Random shot from his day. Something interesting and we are in the episode. Why didn’t I notice this pattern in the past. So fascinating how he does things. After that it’s his usually Timelapse intro.
Then it’s the close up shot. If you have seen the previous vlogs or read my blogs of his vlogs, you would see this pattern also developing. Close up shot after the intro. He sets a tone for the vlog. He says he loves Mondays but hates Fridays which is completely opposite what people normally think.
Next up is his run for the day. He talks about how is struggling to make his runs interesting for the vlog. So this time it’s not a run sequence. He is back in his house and then going to work. He does a vlog shot while walking. It’s tough to do these shots. You have to be really comfortable with people looking at you and staring at you. I couldn’t do this in the past if there was people around me. Now I can vlog if there’s a small amount of people. But I still can’t do it while I am walking with a lot of people around me. Hope I can get comfortable too.
We are at the topic of the vlog. The chinatown zipline. I would suggest watching this part instead of reading it. Just know that he uses a wide variety of shots.
After that he is just going through his day. He has a dinner at night. Not something he usually does. He says that he likes to work, exercise and stay at home. Doesn’t usually socialize. If you see his vlogs and you are a filmmaker you know why. Daily vlog is a challenge and this guy made it harder for him. But he pulled it off, that’s why he is Casey.
