Casey, you’re magical! Stoked you got to join the GoPro Surf Team for some Texas barrel time. Looks like it’s time to drop into your next gig - Casey Neistat, pro surfer!
Hey go pro! Do you know what go pro mounts they were using on their boards? I know you sell a suction cup version, which I’ve used with mild success, but am curious if the mounts show in the video are more secure.
Casey is hands down the best RU-vid video editor there is. His videos and the way he films and edits them are leagues above everyone else's. He puts so much thought and time into so many shots in each video. I can't imagine the time it takes to set up your camera in so many different spots and film the shot then walk back and pick it all up and then somehow go home and make it all flow together into a seamless vid. Awesome work man.
Benefit of beting the shooter AND the editor. Or at least, "shooting for the edit". It all comes together in his mind in real time. Not many people can do it. As an editor, I know when I get footage from someone as talented as Casey that the show will be awesome!
I love how Casey calls to say he’ll be late but then makes sure to stop to capture drone footage, gets in and out of buildings/cars to get the right shot and talks to the camera all whilst trying to get there on time 😂 what a legend man
@@marcuswang1 So many angles and shots in public. I'm pretty sure he handles them all himself. Especially since he travels alone a lot. I mean, look at his running shots. He runs up, places the camera, hit's timer or record. Runs up to and then out of the frame only to stop, turn the camera around, and continue shooting as he runs away from the camera. I don't think anybody else is helping him with most of his shots, so either he's carrying a gopro or two around with him or he's setting up his shots before/ after his morning run. Either way, what he does with just a go pro or two is pretty amazing. Especially how he (likely intentionally) edits all of the clips together. LIke, when he's rushing to the airport, the camera is all over and there are dozens of different shots pieced together to sew a feeling of chaos. And then when things settle down a bit, it's one continuous scene. And then to the wave pool. long shots of people talking until you get to the chaos of the pool in which you get multiple shots from multiple angles, from shore, drone, board mounted, etc... I'd bet in those last scenes he had other people helping film, though. At the very least, the guy holding the camera as he surfed up and grabbed it.
@@caodesignworks2407 yes, I'm sure he does it himself too as you said. A lot of them are set up like at 3:08 to 3:20 . He's by himself. So he had to setup the camera first, then walk back and essentially act/pretend like the camera was already there and pass frame. Then walk back to pick up the camera. When he walks out of the sliding doors, he had to place the camera there first, and leave it recording. Then walk back in and act it out. That takes SO much time and effort to do. Props to him too for not giving a fuck what people think of him b/c that probably looks so weird seeing someone film themselves like that.
He literally took a major break from vlogs and now makes even better vlogs. This had so many clever shots, edits, takes, little stories. It was like 5 2018 Casey vlogs packed into one. HE IS SO BACK AND IT MAKES ME SO HAPPY!
I would love to see a “behind the vlog” video where another person simply follows Casey throughout a day that Casey is vlogging. I wouldn’t want Casey to talk to the cameraman but have it like the camera guy is more like a fly on the wall.
Right?! This video especially looks like something he shot mostly on his own, which makes me imagine him simply going back and forth as he sets up a shot, places the camera, goes off camera, films himself in action, and then goes back to retrieve the camera. SOOO MUCH WORK! But it looks incredible!
There are 2 parts of the video I loved the most. His wave surfing and how it was cleverly cut. I loved the shots from him and other around combined together. Last sequence of him racing to the house with animals on the side just killed me... LOVED IT... awesome video
This man truly boggles my mind. His ability to have an insane amount of fun and not care what people think of him is remarkable. There is no one like Casey
Seriously. There's no way in hell I'd be able to put a camera all over the plane like that to take those kinds of awkward angles of him storing his luggage and such. Like could you imagine what that looks like out of the context of this video? "I'm sorry, ma'am? Can you wait a minute, I need your seat to take this shot. Or "hey, can you hold this for a minute?"
@@audacityx So many tubers make millions off of boring videos. Casey is just great at imbuing fun into his videos and has a better understanding of pacing than most.
I’m actually happy that Casey posts once a week to give him a little more time for himself, his hobbies and his family, work life balance is achievable and enjoyable, it shows everytime he raises the bar with every new upload 🙏🏼
The storyline in this… killing the expectations from the beggining.. no matter where I go I’m gonna be sad.. and then he as the best trip you could ever possibly imagine 😂 full day with 5 pro surfers(and a bunch of rad techs) in a closed water park 😂😭 this men is something else !
I am an old woman. Life has been not easy lately, but Casey gives me so much energy to keep going on! It is such a good experience Casey, to live at the same time you also lives in this word! I feel I am blessed! Thanks a lot! Sorry I not a english speaker! Take care and see you!
Watching your videos again like in the 'old days'...oh man its like coming home... needed this sooo much ... and this way of storytelling.. one of a kind... my winter is saved
The foreshadowing about the rental company making a mistake giving you the sports car, the way he told time, the feelings and thoughts, montages, the pace... Casey's storytelling is so gooood
Im going to be honest, I knew I missed waking up with the original vlogs that I watched almost all of them as they came out, but I didn't realise how much I had missed Casey in my life in general and the way that Casey shoots! Glad ur back Casey, keep it up!!
I live in DFW I wish I got to meet you. You're my inspiration to start doing what I love and sharing it instead of worrying about money. Totally against what I've been programmed for my whole life but I'm choosing to re-learn. MUCH LOVE CASEY!!
Casey is a shining example for all us humans. His spirit, his kindness, thoughtfulness, his drive, creativity, ability, everything about Casey, he makes the world that bit better and guides many of us. I, as a 21 year-old, look up to Casey, SO MUCH, and strive to follow his example. Thank you, Casey, for coming back to us. I grew up watching you. I am SO GLAD that you are back!!!
Setting up the camera to capture the elevator door opening on the opposite side was a great example of his passive aggressive approach to life's little frustrations. He's always been great at capturing that stuff.
I'm just impressed how much hard work you put in. Got up before 5am, ran, took a flight, surfed and managed to get all those shots. Crazy. Great job Casey!
I was a subscriber years ago then dropped off when you stopped daily uploads. Just started watching again and I have to resubscribe. Your editing is just so masterclass, so snappy, the absolute pinnacle. Every moment is worth watching. Casey is epic.
I actually didn’t realize how much I missed these mini-movie-vlogs from Casey until like two weeks ago when I noticed he’s uploading regularly again.. and now I am looking forward to a new video basically every day haha Thanks Casey and I hope it helps you as much as it surely does some of us to have these vlogs :)
I’m not sure enough people appreciate just how much work goes into these shots. So many angles so many cuts. All just him. Even a drone while driving to location. Casey is one of a kind
Hey Casey, you are inspiring me a lot, and look what did, start building electric skateboards, longboards, and mountainboards, this was about two years ago, but now when you start making again new videos.. it's really awesome!!! your videos are not videos.. they're super motivated, super enjoyable.. mate you are amazing.. keep going, and I wish you happiness and to be healthy!!!! don't stop walking!!!!!
hahahaha, what an ender... Awesome couple days with you Casey! Didn't quite know what to expect, but it ended up being one of my favorite trips of the year. Keep up the stellar work! Hopefully we'll cross paths again soon!
No one talks about how disciplined Casey is when he walks by previously setup shots - he doesn’t acknowledge the camera usually. You dont see him trying to grab it, he just walks past it - commits to the shot. Cool stuff
You're such a great film 🎥 maker! Just entertaining. You're the GOAT 🐐 of the surf 🏄♂️ vlog crew. Sooo cool 😎 to see all the legends together catching waves. You're editing, timing & style is unmatched in this Industry!
Came back twice as strong with these new vids, the music in the old vlogs were so nostalgic 😓😕 Now it’s like this new music has grown up with the rest of us, completely different and on its own wave this whole series is! 🌊❤
I can’t surf for crap…but I’ve been here a few times and it is AWESOME. So glad you got to experience it!! And I love the discreet promo ad for the charger at the end 😂 that was pretty sick! Love that you’re back Casey! We’ve missed you!!
Casey is such and interesting person because he is always processing the world from such a high angle, but is always right there lost in it as well. Feels like being him would feel like being strapped to a rocket. Speed and power to go anywhere, but you're never allowed to stop.
Love this video. I think this video really shines with how efficient and experienced Casey is as a vlogger/filmmaker. I can't describe it, but somehow I could feel the ease and comfort Casey has with filming and editing because he has so much experience and talent.
The most important reason I watch Casey's videos is the incredibly good quality of these productions. They are all masterpieces of production and editing. Just great stuff!
When Casey decided to come back I was pumped! Huge fan! But I was also afraid he would not live up to his legacy! Well, I don’t have to be afraid anymore. Casey is back and feels like he never left! The man is absolutely on his prime!
I'm so happy to have the vlogs back at a decent rate. I love the old daily vlogs, but I'm happy with one every few days on a variety of topics and seeing NYC again. Very positive vibes we all could use.
Travel tip: fill your 1L water bottle after security using one of the filter stations or a water fountain. I've never had trouble with it and it goes around needing to buy water to take on the plane ☺️
Casey’s videos are fun to watch not just for the content, but for the magical editing and special effects. I’d like to know how they create those massive waves at that place.
Been having a tough time lately and this video made me genuinely smile. Just wanted to say thank you Casey. Your video’s never fail to make me smile no matter what’s happening in life. ❤
I wasn't a subscriber back in the day when Casey posted daily (became a fan during covid lockdowns) , so these semi regular casey videos kinda gives a feel of how epic that must've been.
