Words of Wisdom: Casey Neistat 

guy knows how to tell a compelling story.

He's one of my favorites too!

he's like my favorite human being

"You know, I don't even like film making... I don't like the technicalities of it, I don't like the formalities of it. I like to tell stories." Wow. And that's coming from one of the best film maker on this platform. Goes to show that if you want to be a film maker, you have to value something more important than the aesthetics of a film. What an inspiration.

DavidParody i'd never known him before now but it really gives me an appreciation for his work now that i'm subbed

that punched me, he's hell smart.

just tear on my eyes when I hearing this message.

Love you Jack

Ashley Smith ^_^

As usual, great video Jack!

Andrew Scott His vids are always amazing ❤️

Nicole Joy Haha very true

How did he come off as being pretentious? Haha go read a dictionary. He put into words his life! Kids these days smh

+Caterina Lanfranconi Casey had a hard life growing up. HIs life literally went from rags to riches - I'm sure after all of those negative experiences he's had, he's learned to appreciate the little things. I say this because I would know.

I can definitely see why you would think it is pretentious. Its definitely an effect of the editing and the music and the calculated nature of speaking. Casey Neistat's videos are great though, I've also seen a lot of them.

i thought the same way about casey when i first watched him, then you got people saying that hes careless and they bash on him about his mailtime segments and that hes ungrateful... do yourself a favor and watch his older movies. specifically the one when he went to the phillipines and helped out those in need.

OmgI thought the same exact thing, But now I'm probably one of his biggest fans.

thank you for this :)

shoe on head or riot + door giveaway

don't*

Agreed! They are the only channel I know with content like this. The hard work and vision that goes into each video shows!

Agree with you 100% by the way checked out your channel, awesome stuff! We r truly blessed that among some of the fame hungry RU-vidrs out there, we have an inspiration like jacksgap :)

i'd agree there man, I love your channel - your videos are sooo similar to theirs!!

Casey's message is so important for all filmmakers out there.

Agree!

Raymond Nguyen Not just film makers, for everyone! Rochelle and Amanda

(y) help me too.

didn't jack film this ages ago?

Robstar yeah, he said he filmed it in the summer of 2014. :)

Watch episode 1 of the good collective, there's even more of talking Greg

lol true

ME TOO

cause you look about just old enough to get youtube with your parents permission

I've always wanted to film something like this. But JacksGap always beats me to it. Has anyone experienced that before? Exceptional film and message though.

Raymond Nguyen It doesn't matter, you can still do it you know.. it'll still be different and and i'd like to believe pretty damn cool and great so just go for it. no one is beating anyone on youtube. it should be a place where everyone shares their point of view. youtube is so big that pretty much everything you can think of is already been done, you just have to take it and make it yours..

lol bug

Kevin Munoz hahaha I didn't notice until you pointed that out... whoops

Loved it!

I agree man! - Love the videos btw :) Keep it up!

Haryy86 Thanks man!

Ryecon Productions Amazing story. I looked at your channel and your films are beautiful Ryecon

Ryecon Productions They are my two favorite youtubers!

ok lol

+Spencer FC haha

there a old saying dont worrie on what over people number gd things will come to you when you at lest looking for it :)

Quality over quantity. That's a lesson I learned the hard way.

People who actually care about your content won't actually care about how long you take to upload it but rather the quality. For example, Nigahiga - he's one of the few RU-vidrs that doesn't have a set day to upload videos yet all his subs still love him. It's because he produces such great content that you don't really care how long it takes, his BTS videos show all the effort Ryan and his team puts into producing his content as well which makes you appreciate it even more. Casey Neistat also uploads around once a month but the wait is worth it for the ideas he comes up with, he also uploads his daily adventures to his Snapchat story so you never feel as if he's just abandoned his channel or anything

Hey Hevesh5! I would just like to tell you that I personally really enjoy all your videos, even the ones that are sponsored or are done because someone wanted you to. However, I'm sure I speak for all of the domino/RGM community when I say that we would also love more of the old videos where you just set up a large domino rally that had whatever you wanted in it. Your Super Bowl video brought back such good memories, and I want to see more videos like that. I admire that you are trying to keep a consistent upload schedule, but don't feel like you have to upload every two weeks. If you need to take three or four to make a really awesome project, I'm sure it will be worth it! Just wanted to take this opportunity to tell you that you should be very grateful that you were able to turn your passion into a job. Not very many people have that luck. -jackofallspades98

Quality definitely. Having an upload schedule ,I've noticed with many RU-vidrs, causes them to stress out and put pressure on themselves for when a video is due and in turn ruins how good the videos could actually be. If they just took their time and didn't rush a video simply because there had to be one up there wouldn't be that added pressure and you would actually enjoy what you are doing more because there is no deadline. It wouldn't turn into a chore that had to be done. I don't even keep track of when videos are uploaded from the people I'm subscribed too. When they have a video up I'm happy. Doesn't matter when. I've noticed that when RU-vidrs have an upload schedule they tend to get more negative comments than RU-vidrs who don't because if their videos ever do slack or aren't up on time people start to complain because they expect something from them. You are you're own boss. If having a schedule is causing you to more upset then good then I suggest taking a different route. Emma Blackery is a good example of this. She had a very busy upload schedule. A video every other day it was and she did well with it until after about 3 months or so and then she kind of went downhill and was rushing everything, getting stressed, videos where getting uploaded later than she planned ect. She ended up scrapping the schedule and now she just uploads whenever she feels like it and her videos are much better and she seems to be much happier and more relaxed than she was before. This is a pretty long comment I've just noticed but I had a lot to say haha. Good luck on your channel :)

jackofallspades98 Hey, thank you for the reply - I really appreciate it. This helped a lot, especially hearing from someone who is part of the domino/RGM community. I'm going to focus on making my *own* videos as good as they can be... something that I will proud of. It's getting increasingly harder to find time to build because of school, but I want to post something that I am happy with even if it takes a bit longer to make. And believe me, I am beyond grateful that I am able to make domino videos as part time job :) This is the best job I could ever ask for. It's changed my life in so many ways and I can't thank you all enough. Thanks again for the nice comment.

Love your videos Doug!!

I can relate

9 years later, now I´m head director of a record label, directing Music Videos and marketing department. Everything is going well, thanks Jack and Casie ♥

+Blake Meyer Oh my god I ten THOUSAND percent agree.

+Blake Meyer I agree as well^^!!!

indeed

and best storyteller to. is all today because his story everyday right

Chiko Tembo Thats sounds awesome dude! Keep on pushing!

thanks buddy. We all gonna make it (through hard work of-course)

Ifkr idk if u know but they fell out I'm kinda surprised that this video is still up

+Magnus Garrett i dont think they fell out finn was in a vlog after this and he gave jacksgap a shout out not too long ago

+ViralDot word.

I did not get shallow at all?

My 2 favorite People

Really inspiring

thesheepthatwentmooo Same lol XD I watched your videos

U are just everywhere

Totally agree with you there

+Monica Sanchez y does this kid have 4 million subs and Casey 3 million

***** That's 'cause he's been actively posting videos since he's joined whereas Casey only did so sporadically until he started his vlogs. Since he's started that, his sub count has rapidly grown from tens of thousands to a couple million. I wouldn't stress over it too much. Casey's gonna pass him soon, you'll see.

+Monica Sanchez it seems odd that a college student has more subs than an 30 year old who had his own TV show

No it doesn't seem odd at all. In Casey's talk in Amsterdam yesterday (May 28) he says when he started posting, a 14 year old high school kid had 100 times the views he was getting, after winning awards at Cannes, Sundance and having a show on HBO, he was humbled. RU-vid is a true meritocracy and those that have it rise to the top, and those that don't fade away. Logic does not predict that a college student will have less talent than a person successful in television. George Lucas made THX1138 while attending UCLA.

+Grant McHugh Yeah, a video where Greg actually speaks and both Adrian and Greg are in the same room with Jack. I want to know more about those two guys, I think I scour the internet and know just about everything about Jack, very talented leader of RU-vid famous people, but to see Greg speak and Adrian in the same video... famousness and first time ever, probably.
