A spirited man Tries to explain it: maybe because we never saw anything Like that on UA-cam and therefore WE are amazed by the new way this particular spirited man Produces His Videos and sorts His thoughts Into Videos, that dont Display one short time period. I Know this is only one Part of the explanation, but in my opinion the Most important one.
@@dubesinhower yeah exactly you got it right. With van, you understand some of the principles and values Casey added during his daily vlog but we all see a different kind of editing
I'm a Graphic Designer and spiritual voyager and your channel is growing on me. It's very inspirational for me to be able to have these few minutes of quiet reflection during your videos. You are very talented, but I'm sure that you already know that! Thank you so much for coming to UA-cam.
I found this channel from Caseys video. I was tentative at first, but then soon relized the raw creativity in every video. These calm me and bring me joy. Thank you Van
And this ladies and gentleman is why filming so much of your life is so FUN and how it can be repurposed and republished at a later date. It doesn't matter if one chooses to share it or not, but those fortunate enough to have footage like this, thousands of hours of RAW real-life footage stock pilled can create stunning films of times passed. And what I personally love is seeing the different stages of camera quality, 720p - 1080p, old cell phone, handy cam's. So so nostalgic. I've been filming and documenting a lot of my life now since around 2013 and I can only imagine what gold I'll be sitting on in 20 years time. If for no other reason then to make an edit of it and take a trip down memory lane :) Great work Van - Always loved your work from what I've seen over the years! :)
Watching and listening to these videos makes me feel as if I'm listening to the wisest man in a village that I've been lucky enough to stumble upon. I feel more intelligent just by watching and thinking about them. Thank you Van.
You are great Van. Everyone shows us success in NYC. You show us something different. As normal people, we have felt miserable many times (even some of us, our whole life). Your spirited videos inspire us. Keep going!
The voice whispered, "WEST" to me four years ago. It took me from New Jersey to Los Angeles. The Spirited Man has inspired me on my ongoing path. Best series on UA-cam. Thanks Van.
There are few UA-camrs who truly inspire me, who create a spark within me that makes me want to create, to compose, to be creative. There are none however who do it as well you do Van, thank you for your content, you're a huge inspiration and I'm so glad I stumbled upon your channel a week ago! Looking forward to everything you're still to share with us all
I found this channel completely organically. I saw Casey's videos years ago but had forgotten about them. I just wanted to mention it now that I saw Casey's video too. My interest in this page is solely on the content. I am perhaps a "spirited man" myself and a new Yorker once upon a time and even owned a diesel land cruiser, from 2001 and on. And I just rode motorcycles to Baja - road trips are fun. I've done 5k miles in the past month. I built the first website all about diesel land cruisers and conversions. In a lot of ways Van's approach speaks to me. Here I am in salt lake city now, 20 years later with 7 vintage BMWs among other cars and a gorgeous 107 year old house and too many tools and a bit of insanity - I struggle to maintain it all. But I live. And I also like (or love) his UA-cam channel. So smart and creative and a mirror in many ways of my life. Other than way more car, metal, and heavy duty (including welding and refurbishment) focused. Thank you Van. Best of luck to you. Keep on keeping on. And reach out if you need ideas and inspiration. I have tons. I've been called "an idea man" (a backhanded complement) a few too many times, but it explains all the brilliant ideas and too many projects.
These videos make me crave moving to a little house in a rural area....away from traffic, noise, strangers. This particular spirited man has some creative work I need to unleash upon the world.
Interesting that Van writes poetry in the snowstorm in New York, Casey grabs his snowboard. Just interesting how different individuals experience of the same event is. 🦍🙂
i do not by any means consider myself a "spirited man" but these videos do speak to me in away no other youtube channel has. well done Van if your goal was to make ppl think. you have succeeded.
did I miss something, or did Casey pretty much never mention that "his studio" was also heavily influenced and co-created by his brother? seems like he conveniently left that information out when he gave studio tours.
Hi Van, I'm Juan from Bogotá, Colombia and I wanted to say that I love your videos so much, always waiting for the next video, they're really cool, keep going, you are amazing.
Out of all the videos I watch these are the only I ever comment on. I am blow away by them and look forward to them. This spirited man hopes that the other keeps creating amazing videos.
I find myself binge-watching your films at the moment. Not doing much filming and editing myself, but the steady cadence of your work inspires me. Much love from Cape Town - South Africa. Regards Tony Nelson
The call to go West is the American Dream. It's Manifest Destiny -- with all it's idealism, successes, and unfortunate realities. But that's just the symbolism. I'm glad your reality of going west and manifesting your destiny has been a literal success.
Casey brought me here,but knew of Van from their series on HBO. After watching the episodes here of The Spirited Man. It keeps me wanting more and more....Love the Channel!
Because of the spirited man, this spirited man is finally takin steps realising his first short film. The 35mm camera is ready. The script is almost ready. I found a spirited woman who will take this journey with me. Not a partner as a lover, not a partner for life, but a partner who shares the same spirit.
Holy crap...these videos are on a whole other level. It's like learning Santa wasn't real...I love Casey, but Van is giving such a glimpse into the Neistat formula that it's a wonder Van wasn't revealed as the Wizard of Oz sooner.
Alex Grey said that if you stop acting on the information the muse gives you, she’ll stop talking to you. I love the opportunistic and spermatic process of film photography, creating entire shows on a whim.
this spirited man watches the neistat videos as soon as he sees them on his home page of youtube on his laptop screen. top priority to watch, this spirited man feels less stressed and happier after watching neistat videos.
Exit through the gift shop. After a spirited journey, it always surprises me a bit, but that's fair. UA-cam is a totally legitimate job. Nice channel btw!
As the Spirited Woman watched the video, she realised that in the absence of chasing the dreams that had once given the journey meaning, she has become lost from her Spirited self. Adrift. ---- damn it Van now I'm all introspective!
SPIRITED MAN SWEATSHIRTS: spiritedman.com
Ah im first again but i dont know what to say sooo
Hello Van 😃
Hey Spirited Man :) thanks for taking the time to make such amazing videos
Also, where is your typewriter from/what kind of typewriter is it?
@@ellamorgan59 some corona thing lol
This spirited man can’t articulate why he enjoys these videos so much. He just watches.
This spirited man just nods

@@aaronschlenter9955 a spirited man fully agrees with you
You took the words right out of this spirited man.
It's like watching Casey, but for grownups.
It's like watching Casey's Obi Wan. Van feels like the Real Jedi Master
they are both students of Yoda (Tom Sachs)
@@MorgenLewis1990 @thepeddle well said, both of you
It’s very interesting to see the parallel universe between Casey and his older brother van
It's like the Casey-Prequels

You know about Casey too? (I'm asking as I'm curious if people found Van and not Casey)
@@bl4ck1911 just leaving that comment to wait for an answer 😋
Growing on you? It was brilliant from the first frame.
Casey has inspired a whole crop of people to pick up a camera and now Van is inspiring a whole new crop.
If Van inspired casey, then you could say he inspired them all
@@maxmacdonald4440 Yep, that's true man
Van is inspiring on a whole new level.
@@dasoulfoodbuffet yeah sure is !
Casey inspired Vloggers to pickup a camera, Van is inspiring filmmakers and artists to make stuff

It is a true art to make a video so clear and simple when the process of filming, composing and editing is so in-depth
the neistat's have such an intentional and recognizable style to their filmmaking. this spirited man loves it, thanks van
This series is like watching the guy who taught Federer how to play tennis
well said
There is a tremendous peace to be found in watching these videos. I can't describe it, I just know that it's there. Thank you, Van.
I was grasping for the right word, phrase... Here it is. Many thanks.
Rooting for you Van, keep it up.
"Intuition speaks in cardinal directions." This is so profound I feel like I'm just starting to realize the genius of it.
You are great Van. Everyone shows us success in NYC. You show us something different. As normal people, we have felt miserable many times (even some of us, our whole life). Your spirited videos inspire us. Keep going!
Your channel is the greatest thing to hit UA-cam in a very long time, creativity at its finest!!!
I applaude your work, my friend!!
The voice whispered, "WEST" to me four years ago. It took me from New Jersey to Los Angeles. The Spirited Man has inspired me on my ongoing path. Best series on UA-cam. Thanks Van.
Congrats Van, 340K subscribers. From one Spirited Man to another.
This is something I’d expect to find playing in Tate modern London.
Lot less boring than the ones I've seen at the Tate
just what I thought, but as Lashan says, better!
I've thought this of all of Van's videos. I totally agree!!
Ha! It was the opposite for me: tired of the West Coast, I heard the voice whisper "East." 25 years in NYC, now.
I truly hope that this style is the future of UA-cam...thoughtful, genuine, artful and to the point. You're inspirational.
The spirited man is monitized now!!!!!
Congrats Van!

Van and Casey, two spirited men, each on the opposite side of the spectrum
two sides of the same coin🔥

This hit on so many levels. My inner voice is currently whispering, or rather screaming west. I am miserable in New York City.
I think you are making these videos to inspire me to be a 'spirited man'. thank you. mission accepted.
I bought Shop Class as Soulcraft from a couple of episodes ago, and i'm having a fantastic time reading it!
Wow the spirited man climbing outside the NYC building @1:18. The bros are living life to the fullest.
I can't find words to describe how much I like this video. That's it, nothing I can say will be enough but thank you so much.
Interesting that Van writes poetry in the snowstorm in New York, Casey grabs his snowboard.
Just interesting how different individuals experience of the same event is. 🦍🙂
The 2001: Space Odyssey reference was brilliant.
What was the reference?
@@Gump387 2:20, when the spaceman touches the object that appeared on the moon.
I was going to post same thing.
i do not by any means consider myself a "spirited man" but these videos do speak to me in away no other youtube channel has. well done Van if your goal was to make ppl think. you have succeeded.
A spirited man thinks. Maybe you are indeed a spirited man.
This spirited man is glad Van put out another video
Hey Van. I really love your way with words and the art you are making. Keep inspiring man.
The narrative, always on point. Love the content, the storytelling, the editing - everything. You’re truly a spirited and gifted man, Van👍
I love the „2001“ Kubrick Reference at 2:19!
OH WOW, thanks for that! lol That went over my head for a min there.
I missed that too. But it's obvious when you watch it over. I want a 3 meter high blank obelisk for my next loft apartment.
The quiet voice. I dig that. I call it a the voiceless whisper
I hear that whisper too... and i've been ignoring it and procrastinating for years
did I miss something, or did Casey pretty much never mention that "his studio" was also heavily influenced and co-created by his brother? seems like he conveniently left that information out when he gave studio tours.
It's a rare occasion when I turn on all notifications for a UA-cam channel. You are one of them Van, keep going fellow citizen of the world.
Such a healing video, thank you.
this is one of the best videos on this platform. one of the best internet movies.
Hi Van, I'm Juan from Bogotá, Colombia and I wanted to say that I love your videos so much, always waiting for the next video, they're really cool, keep going, you are amazing.

This spirited woman is so thrilled to listen to the quiet whispers on her small island of Manhattan. The Spirited Life thrives here.
Spot on! That whisper that never shares the next step. Spot on dude.
Casey makes vlogs look like movies.
Van makes vlogs look like poetry.
Max Payne flashbacks throughout this one. Well done, Sir. Well done.
Van's just out here showing people it's not about the gear, but about the ideas.
that's far out man. you are channelling some real Magick there. visual, audio, psychick navigation. brilliant.
The call to go West is the American Dream. It's Manifest Destiny -- with all it's idealism, successes, and unfortunate realities. But that's just the symbolism. I'm glad your reality of going west and manifesting your destiny has been a literal success.
This spirited man will never give up on New York City... out of principle
My struggle is the same
As do captive birds engage
Collecting twigs to build a nest
Even in their cage.
- Ghalib
There is something addictive about this channel
OH man I can't stop..The content is spiritual so is the man.
I love a good 2001 space odyssey obelisk reference to evolving, or in your case, moving west
Casey brought me here,but knew of Van from their series on HBO. After watching the episodes here of The Spirited Man. It keeps me wanting more and more....Love the Channel!
I just want to know what the Spirited Man did between the end of his vimeo/Sachs videos and 2021
This particular man swiftly hits the play button as soon as another spirited man uploads a new vid!
Felt like I just watched a teaser for a huge movie 🎥 a movie that lasts for generations and generations, a spirited man blockbuster that continues....
The spirited man is my spirit animal.
I am here to stay,
Looking forward to this whole new dimension ❤️
Van speaks at such a deep level I can barely comprehend
Your videos are out of this world, yet so real
These are fantastic and have been rekindling things I haven’t felt since pre-pandemic self exploration.

NYC incessantly, nauseatingly hypes itself 24/7. I managed to last 4 years there and was euphoric when I left it.
This is by far my favorite episode yet!
Alex Grey said that if you stop acting on the information the muse gives you, she’ll stop talking to you. I love the opportunistic and spermatic process of film photography, creating entire shows on a whim.
This video comes to me at the right time. At the perfect time.
That was like an episode of Twin Peaks... I loved Twin Peaks!!! Creative and surreal genius at work!!!
Van's videos and his messages are complex yet so simple at the same time
I can't get enough of this! Keep'em coming!
Very between lines, very good msg. I myself am the way to follow the quiet voice from bigi city into more spirited place. Thank you SM.
Its great to see the old NY studio again.
I’ve been waiting for this for so long!
A guide to the connection with the spirit within 👍👍🏽👍🏿👍🏻 This vidéo is priceless 🧠❤️👌 Migwetch! Thank you!
From Québec, Canada.
This series is great!
this spirited man watches the neistat videos as soon as he sees them on his home page of youtube on his laptop screen. top priority to watch, this spirited man feels less stressed and happier after watching neistat videos.
This really hit home for me . Vans park avenue is my Boston and his west is my south . To hell with Boston and especially the snow
the last few words were chilling... great art/work
Casey: please publish more videos 🥺, missing your content but enjoying Vans at the same time.
“The American Dream,
Is to live in a Dream.”
I resonated with that line as well.
This spirited man, has the best pant game I’ve ever seen.
Beautiful stuff Van - Been looking forward to this video and you've not disappointed!
Your voice would be perfect for podcasts
I love this series!
This spirited man has discovered himself a spirited man through the spirited man video series. From one spirited man to another, thank you.
One of the few meaningful channels on YT.
Good work, wonderful style and the story telling is growing on itself, what fun!
Exit through the gift shop. After a spirited journey, it always surprises me a bit, but that's fair. UA-cam is a totally legitimate job. Nice channel btw!
OMG the message behind the words is soooo powerfull and inspireing and true i feel you!
