    I met Casey by accident on Monday last week while running on the Brooklyn Bridge (first day in NYC after 4 years) and passed by 368 on Friday of the same week (last day in NYC for who knows how long), this is sooo on time. He is the reason why I’m on YT.

    Absolutely fantastic video. Watching this, I saw a pile of loose threads bound together into a tightly-wound rope - several people and places I vaguely knew were associated, but didn’t quite know how, until now. In nine minutes, you gave unifying context to media, content, and creators I’ve enjoyed for more than a decade, and then extended that story back to century-old origins. Incredible work.

    @alexalexis7899 Рік тому +5

    It is important to keep in mind how much luck factors into this equation. Looking back at these and other people’s careers, it can appear it was all achieved by design and it can become easy and convenient to believe that “If I do stuff, people will notice how interesting my sensibilities are and will gravitate towards my work, which will propel me further”, but that’s just not true. Now more than ever before, there are hordes of people shooting and uploading stuff, hoping to emulate these creators’ paths. But the truth is that the more people going after this, the more luck you’ll need to get noticed. It has never been this easy to make movies, but it has never been this hard to have a career doing it.
