An Insightful Analysis Showcasing the Unique Style of Casey Neistat’s Seemingly Effortless Daily Vlog

New York City video blogger and web producer Evan Puschak aka The Nerdwriter took a look at the unique and seemingly effortless style of vlogger Casey Neistat, noting quite accurately, that this ease in which Neistat presents himself is the result of skill, personality, energy and a lot of hard work.

…So to up his production value takes a million little things like setting the camera down framing a shot then running back out of frame to come into frame again. …like going out at sunset and waiting 30 minutes while three different cameras take three different timelapses like carrying a [Canon] 70D on a Gorillapod all day, like carrying the 70D and the Gorillapod and a Boosted Board controller all in the same hand just to look natural. …the effortlessness of Casey Neistat’s vlog is an illusion. The next time you watch one just pay more attention to his camera setups. Notice how things are framed, notice how his time lapse as always feature some sort of large move, notice how edits through action feel so smooth and then think about what actually was happening there…
