Hey guys today I'm going to give you tips on how to vlog like Casey Neistat
If you don't know who Casey Neistat is
Where have you been?
Now I would say that he is one of my most favorite vloggers ever
This video isn't meant for you to exactly copy his style and steal and plagiarize
What it is, is for you to maybe analyze his style
and maybe improve your own vlogs
Now there are already a couple of videos that do this, so I'll leave those in the description below as well
But I'm going to go over some stuff that other videos maybe haven't yet
So let's go
One is camera
So, Casey uses the 70d
He occasionally uses his Iphone
I've seen it through his glasses
He uses a point and shoot
to use on the go. It's called the G7x
from cannon
Number 2. Frame Rates per second
A video is a bunch of still images captured
and when put together side by side, it creates a video
To me, it looks like Casey shoots at 24 frame rates per second
and that's a setting you can change on your dslr
I think most cameras have their settings pre-setted at 30 frame rates per second
and the standard for American film is 24
So number 3 is capturing attention
The first few seconds of your video is vital
for capturing attention
Casey usually places a short clip of something happening before his intro
Number 4 are time lapses
Now when you do this, don't put a random time lapse in your video just because you think it's cool
Make sure your time lapse actually sets the story
He was actually going on about this in a video where he
films multiple time lapses in a day
in New York because most of his vlogs are set in New York
So from what I've gathered of how he does this
He usually sets his camera on a tripod
and he records 5 to 10 minutes of video
and he places that video in editing software and fastforwards the video
to make the time lapse
there's also another method of doing this
and it's using this thing
and this is an
beauty guru
This is called an intervalometer
and what you can do with this
is you can
take pictures
at certain intervals
and you can put those pictures together to make a time lapse
Now the last tip is camera angles
Your camera angles always have to
help tell your story
So for example, whenever Casey has something important to tell you
He always goes like this
and that makes you zoom into what he's saying
He also does a lot of set up shots
where the vlog sort of feels documentary styled
and sometimes instead of regular transitions
like other vloggers do
He makes a transitional montage
and he's like okay we're here in K-mart now doing blah blah blah blah
So while a regular youtuber might do jumpcuts like this
Where while they're talking and they mess up
they cut so it looks like their speech
is flowing off perfectly
it actually isn't
Casey actually does jump cuts like this
So his jump cuts typically have a different background while he's talking
and while I'm doing jump cuts, I'm going to tell you about
other angles he uses
So there's obviously his skateboard scenes
but I'm not going to show you that because I don't know how to skateboard
and I don't have a skateboard
but I'm going to link other videos in the description below
on how to do that
Have your own style of vlogging
Don't try to copy Casey Neistat's vlogging
you can definitely try to use his style and make it your own
but don't exactly copy it
I think the reason why he got so popular and so big
is because he took
film and he took vlogging and he put it together
People saw value in that and how he almost has 2 million subscribers
During the filming of this video anyway. Don't try to be like anyone else
Find your own voice and add that to youtube
That's the end of the video, I hope you liked it
and I'll see you next time
