I love Casey. He's a true genius. I think the hard part is not coming up with ideas to make a video. As other people here have said, the hard part is taking that idea and filling it with a compelling story to make an 8-9 minute video and keep people wanting to know what he's going to do until the end. That's the magic of his videos.
I think coming up with ideas isn't that difficult actually. Invite your best friends to come up with some ideas and I bet you'll come up with some really good ones. Casey is different because he makes these ideas happen. Mainly talking about when he made videos every day, taking that, turning it into something and putting it on UA-cam, every single day, thats the real gold.
you cant replicate casey's mind and skills as a filmmaker no matter how you learn it - he's a unique dude with a unique persona and unique background and life :)
all of these ideas are only working with Casey's personality and the vibe he has in his videos. He adds a personal touch to it, smiles and tells a background story to his story - he is the secret sauce in all of these ideas.
The best tip in this video answers the question I had after watching “Sisyphus and the Impossible Dream” and that is: how did he have all that old footage and did he know he would need it? Answer: HIS ARCHIVE!!! Did he know he would need it? Who knows, but he has it if he does. That is one thing as new creators we can’t draw from but one thing we can start to build as our own today. Thank you Casey for that hidden tip. I’ve recently started keeping my footage in very descriptive folder names so I can pull stuff from “my archive” someday. Thanks for the inspiration and insight.
OR maybe why a person would buy a counterfeit bag in NYC. Do they have a date they need to impress? Do they have a business appointment they need to close a deal? Do they have a vain desire to fulfill? Do they need to make the right impression before being granted access to a secure location so they can commit a crime or right a wrong or save a life or stop something awful? Don’t just ask “what’s that all about?” But also ask “why?”
OR, you could go in and talk to Billy and find out why he needs help despite the fact he has the best ‘box cake’ around. What happened? Is he in deep with the wrong people? Is his place haunted? Does the plumbing not work? Does he act like a jerk to customers despite the quality of his food? We had a NYC deli lady here in Orlando with the best tasting subs but she was dislike because she had a gruff NY accent and attitude with a line out the door. “Don’t know what you want?” She would say. “then get to the back of the line. NEXT.”
yeah ! but,, the first example for example.. when he comes up with this idea of the building... grat but... how you turn that into a , lets say, 10 minutes video ? like... what happens in the middle
You can have any opinion you want but you’re discussing filmmaking and you’ve really never heard of Roberto Rosselini? Italian Neorealism? Look it up and then tell me if you don’t see parallels with Neistat. Redefining a medium always attracts haters, I suppose.

The creativity in this is just inspiring
the idea that casey walking around talking about ideas, gave me an idea to make an idea movie
I feel like what makes his videos interesting is how he relates to it all and his perspective and interest in the subject.

Wait till, you see his older brother's channel.
@@mu2thehotness yes thats great also

God I miss living in NYC.
What helps his story telling is his archive footage.
I have not watched the video yet but YES- Ideas are EVERYWHERE.! (but you have to be open to seeing them...:^)
He is walking around like Picasso
This viseo is sooooo underated

Such an awesome video. Very inspiring.
Me encantaría estar dentro de mente de Casey...❤
A true artist
04:50 - ...is that the reason for all the "Bill, Billy, Billy" shirts in past vids?
Nah, Billy! is the name of hiw wife's company.
How can this video be so unpopular lol
He's such a genius when it comes to story telling and coming up with stories out of "nothing"
That is very creative.
I don't know why you make something public that many of us had to pay for. Good for the people, bad for the Studio
You paid for this!? Sheeeesh
To plug the course and show the value of it, so they make money
I would never guess it was a course if it wasn't for your comment.
.
So, thank you? 😅
This is gold, can you post more parts
"I have a ton of ideas and they all boil down to New York is noisy"

New York noise right when I type it
Casey's got a Tarantino disease
All the stories and ideas are the same ME ME ME ..and they could all have the same title .. WTF Why did I come back to New York
yeah, he should have moved to Italy or something
@@squirrelseer he couldn't cut it here, he needs to stay in NYC
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
yeah ! but,, the first example for example.. when he comes up with this idea of the building...
grat but... how you turn that into a , lets say, 10 minutes video ? like... what happens in the middle
I think thats where creativity kicks in.
🥱
you’re a hater
How about a story of immigration invasion of New York City.
He's not a "filmmaker" and he does not make "movies". He makes youtube videos. Know the difference.
I would love to hear you debate that position with Roberto Rossellini and François Truffaut. They would tear you apart.
Sure bro whatever you say
@@halmedrano With fkn whom?? Exactly.
@@brucewayne4371 If Martin Scoresesse is a filmmaker, then this wacko is NOT a filmmaker
