Casey is easily one of my favorite RUclipsrs
guy knows how to tell a compelling story.
He's one of my favorites too!
he's like my favorite human being
"You know, I don't even like film making... I don't like the technicalities of it, I don't like the formalities of it. I like to tell stories." Wow. And that's coming from one of the best film maker on this platform. Goes to show that if you want to be a film maker, you have to value something more important than the aesthetics of a film. What an inspiration.
DavidParody i'd never known him before now but it really gives me an appreciation for his work now that i'm subbed
"I always made a living so I could make movies, I never made movies to try and make a living" amazing
that punched me, he's hell smart.
just tear on my eyes when I hearing this message.
Is this going to be a regular thing?
Like ever week/ month someone else his/her words of wisdom?
Would love that!
I was wondering that too!
It would make a great idea actually!
Ashley Smith ^_^
ps Nico Potters i like your 2 different colored eyes!
Yeah a bit like DanTheDirector's humps of happiness!
That guy definitely had a lot of wisdom planted in him! Such an inspirational video please make more of these! :)
Love you Jack
im sure he will! love your videos jen!
i watch ur vids :)
sub 4 sub anyone??
love you vids jennifer!!
Casey is one of the most inspirational humans I've ever seen
As usual, great video Jack!
Andrew Scott His vids are always amazing ❤️
Nicole Joy Haha very true
THE EDITING AND THE CAMERA QUALITY IS JUST PERFECTION!
You are perfection! 🌸 🌸
At the beginning of the video I thought it was Jack's old room and got a bit too excited over the fact that it brought back so many memories! Makes me so proud to have been subscribed for so many years!
i don't know about anyone else but i love how jacksgap channel has turned out, inspiring and creative
Jacksgap doesn't make videos they make art :) Jack you're very talented and inspiration to all :) it sounds weird because you're older than me but I feel like I've watched you grow as a content creator and as a person over the years of your channel :) whatever route you go down we will support you :)
thank you for this :)
shoe on head or riot + door giveaway
don't*
Agreed! They are the only channel I know with content like this. The hard work and vision that goes into each video shows!
Agree with you 100% by the way checked out your channel, awesome stuff! We r truly blessed that among some of the fame hungry RUclipsrs out there, we have an inspiration like jacksgap :)
Casey Neistat is straight up a genius
*This has to be one of my favourites!* It was so well made guys :)
i'd agree there man, I love your channel - your videos are sooo similar to theirs!!
Casey's message is so important for all filmmakers out there.
Agree!
Raymond Nguyen
Not just film makers, for everyone! Rochelle and Amanda
(y) help me too.
"I made a living, to make movies. Not make movies to make a living."
That is what I live by every day when I turn on a camera to tell a story. A great piece of advice for other filmmakers, and anyone else creative. Awesome stuff, yet again, Jack. Keep inspiring :) xo
I'm still here , I still love every video you guys post , all your projects ! Nothing will
Change my perspective on the way I see your content ! Keep going Jacksgap ! :)
No matter what, Casey's life is a powerful, motivating success story. He was also made for youtube. He's a one-man film crew. He was born to be a vlogger. Also, I think people are mistaking his overwhelming confidence as pretentiousness.
I think this is one of my favourite mini documentaries you guys have made, partly because I already love Casey and his work but also because this really was brilliantly done. Top job!
I watched this when it first came out, and I had never heard of Casey. Now I'm a loyal viewer, but every now and then, when I have particularly bad writer's block, or I've lost purpose in what I'm doing, I watch this video and remember how I felt when I saw this stranger, an out there, confident and unapologetic guy, completely echo my own beliefs. He really knows how to inspire people that's for sure
I got a text with your video link saying "Greg speaks in this" and I am thoroughly satisfied by this video. Not gunna lie re watched Greg saying hello 3 times.
Watch episode 1 of the good collective, there's even more of talking Greg
lol true
ME TOO
"I always made a living so I could make movies. I never made movies to try and make a living"
-Casey Neistat
I feel Casey is genuinely one of the best story tellers this generation, of all the people across this earth, has to offer. A big inspiration of mine and so many overs! I have so much respect for him: especially after seeing his latest film, "Draw My Life".
Likewise with the JacksGap crew : )
"If the reason why you're doing anything creative is to make a living, then you're doing it wrong." Those words hit home hard. This came at the perfect time for me. Thank you, Jack & Casey!
I remember this being the first time I ever watched Casey in a video and I was really put off because he seemed sort of pretentious. Now after watching his videos and coming back here this seems really different
How did he come off as being pretentious? Haha go read a dictionary. He put into words his life! Kids these days smh
+Caterina Lanfranconi Casey had a hard life growing up. HIs life literally went from rags to riches - I'm sure after all of those negative experiences he's had, he's learned to appreciate the little things. I say this because I would know.
I can definitely see why you would think it is pretentious. Its definitely an effect of the editing and the music and the calculated nature of speaking. Casey Neistat's videos are great though, I've also seen a lot of them.
i thought the same way about casey when i first watched him, then you got people saying that hes careless and they bash on him about his mailtime segments and that hes ungrateful... do yourself a favor and watch his older movies. specifically the one when he went to the phillipines and helped out those in need.
OmgI thought the same exact thing, But now I'm probably one of his biggest fans.
Came back to the video that introduced me to casey after him completing 1 year of vlogging
Casey is such a RUclips genius
didn't jack film this ages ago?
Robstar yeah, he said he filmed it in the summer of 2014. :)
Love this! Also pushes a great message too!
I've always wanted to film something like this. But JacksGap always beats me to it. Has anyone experienced that before? Exceptional film and message though.
Raymond Nguyen It doesn't matter, you can still do it you know.. it'll still be different and and i'd like to believe pretty damn cool and great so just go for it. no one is beating anyone on youtube. it should be a place where everyone shares their point of view. youtube is so big that pretty much everything you can think of is already been done, you just have to take it and make it yours..
You're one of those RUclipsrs who inspires me *so* incredibly much to get out my camera's instruction manual and start learning about how it works, research editing software courses and just put my heart and soul into my videos, attempting to make each one more creative than the last. As a beginner I'm definitely not there yet, but you inspire me to 'bloom where I'm planted' and to simply get started on bettering myself and my channel. Thank you :) ♥
This was incredibly beautiful and full of wisdom - I like this visual interview style!
Jack's videos makes me happy more than anything.
how come I never knew Jacksgap talked about Casey Neistat 😂😥
cause you look about just old enough to get youtube with your parents permission
Great sentiment!
+Spencer FC haha
Casey's the most inspirational human i've ever seen.
The video has made me think so differently! Incredible video!
Loved it!
I agree man! - Love the videos btw :) Keep it up!
Haryy86 Thanks man!
This video has made me realise that I've been looking at creativity wrong. "They focus on how can my passion pay me". That's exactly it! Throughout my education I've thought "okay so I enjoy making things but I'm not good enough to get paid for it so then what's the point in even doing it". Your art is art, whether or not you make it your job. Thanks!
Such an amazing video :) Casey is a very bug inspiration
lol bug
Kevin Munoz hahaha I didn't notice until you pointed that out... whoops
Passion is one of the most important things someone can find. And when someone finds it, it's the most beautiful thing to witness.
Beautiful storytelling! One day I hope to be a filmmaker and both Jackgap and Casey Keistat continue to inspire me to make films!
Ryecon Productions Amazing story. I looked at your channel and your films are beautiful Ryecon
Ryecon Productions They are my two favorite youtubers!
I KNOW 99% WILL NOT READ THIS BUT
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING SUCH GOOD VIDEOS YOU HAVE INSPIRED ME TO MAKE VIDEOS ASWELL THANK YOU, you are a true inspiration to me and many people out there keep doing what you are doing because you are so awesome!
ok lol
*Dang* thanks for making this Jacksgap! This definitely speaks to me. Being a part of the smaller RUclips community can be hard. Watching your friends slowly make it big while you remain a nobody can be hard to watch sometimes, but that's not what it should be about. If I love doing this, I should be able to enjoy myself regardless of what numbers I or another person have. This is something I hear a lot, but having Casey say it really hits home for some reason. Great work!
there a old saying dont worrie on what over people number gd things will come to you when you at lest looking for it :)
Seriously two of my favourite filmmakers on RUclips. Just as perfect as I anticipated. /Julia
JacksGap and Casey Neistat? you know this is gonna be good!
i love what this channel has become. Going from Jack and Finn making comedic videos to their friends into making a platform where people can go for inspiration and to share their thoughts and feelings. It's one of my favorite youtube channels out there
Such a great message, I love what you guys are doing.
"If the reason why you do anything creative is to make a living, then you're doing it wrong!" That really hit the spot for me because I was made to feel stupid for believing and having the same mindset as this guy, Casey. Thanks for sharing!
Casey came across a little stiffer than he really is.... but the advice was spot on.... A gentleman that builds custom motorcycles said basically the same thing... If you are doing it for the money give up... if you are doing it because you love what you are doing oddly enough the money with follow... Money is a tool. You need lots of tools to create and money is just one of them.
This is another reason why I love and admire Casey and everything he does. (Jack too. Just for all his film making and how beautiful this video came out.) He's one of my hugest inspirations and I just get more and more inspired by him every single day.
He did it right. He didn't rely on his passion to help him survive and make money. He focused on making money and a living to be able to be passionate about something he loves. *That's how you do it*
Woah I've never been this early for a video
Back in 2012 I started my youtube channel. I only made videos for a few months because I was worried what people at school would think of me. I didnt think they would understand and I was afraid they would make fun of me.
A year later I started my channel again, but this time I wasn't doing it because I loved to make videos, I did it because I wanted to make money. Again, that didn't work out, because as Casey said, I wasn't doing it for the right reasons.
Last summer I was going through a lot. I had a lot of things I needed to get off my chest and I decided to make a youtube video. I was so inspired by your videos, along with a few other youtubers, because you always put out such high quality content and you are able to share a story. It is the best feeling in the world when you have an idea or concept in your head and you're able to actually create it! I rediscovered my passion for making videos and now I'm trying to start my channel again. I just wanted to make this comment to say thank you. Thank you so much for inspiring me and I'm sure many others as well. Have a great day! (:
"I always made a living, so I could make movies. I never made movies so I could make a living"
Best piece of advice
Casey is my favourite RUclipsr. I stumbled across him a long time ago and feel great pleasure to just sit and watch his amazingly made but still friendly, personable videos. I love how some stuff is polished and some isn't, and I love how he always manages to portay his personality in everything he does. He is a seriously cool dude. Inspirational. Thanks so much for this video! x
What a great message. Really made me think about my channel and hobby vs job. I'm in a place where I feel like my video quality is going down due projects that *businesses* want me to do, not what *I* want to do. I kept making videos just to have something uploaded every two weeks, and I am not particularly proud of them because they may seem rushed and don't have as much passion as my videos a year ago. What do you guys think? Quality or quantity? Even if someone posts just once a month?
Quality over quantity. That's a lesson I learned the hard way.
People who actually care about your content won't actually care about how long you take to upload it but rather the quality. For example, Nigahiga - he's one of the few RUclipsrs that doesn't have a set day to upload videos yet all his subs still love him. It's because he produces such great content that you don't really care how long it takes, his BTS videos show all the effort Ryan and his team puts into producing his content as well which makes you appreciate it even more.
Casey Neistat also uploads around once a month but the wait is worth it for the ideas he comes up with, he also uploads his daily adventures to his Snapchat story so you never feel as if he's just abandoned his channel or anything
Hey Hevesh5! I would just like to tell you that I personally really enjoy all your videos, even the ones that are sponsored or are done because someone wanted you to. However, I'm sure I speak for all of the domino/RGM community when I say that we would also love more of the old videos where you just set up a large domino rally that had whatever you wanted in it. Your Super Bowl video brought back such good memories, and I want to see more videos like that. I admire that you are trying to keep a consistent upload schedule, but don't feel like you have to upload every two weeks. If you need to take three or four to make a really awesome project, I'm sure it will be worth it!
Just wanted to take this opportunity to tell you that you should be very grateful that you were able to turn your passion into a job. Not very many people have that luck.
-jackofallspades98
Quality definitely. Having an upload schedule ,I've noticed with many RUclipsrs, causes them to stress out and put pressure on themselves for when a video is due and in turn ruins how good the videos could actually be. If they just took their time and didn't rush a video simply because there had to be one up there wouldn't be that added pressure and you would actually enjoy what you are doing more because there is no deadline. It wouldn't turn into a chore that had to be done.
I don't even keep track of when videos are uploaded from the people I'm subscribed too. When they have a video up I'm happy. Doesn't matter when. I've noticed that when RUclipsrs have an upload schedule they tend to get more negative comments than RUclipsrs who don't because if their videos ever do slack or aren't up on time people start to complain because they expect something from them. You are you're own boss. If having a schedule is causing you to more upset then good then I suggest taking a different route. Emma Blackery is a good example of this. She had a very busy upload schedule. A video every other day it was and she did well with it until after about 3 months or so and then she kind of went downhill and was rushing everything, getting stressed, videos where getting uploaded later than she planned ect. She ended up scrapping the schedule and now she just uploads whenever she feels like it and her videos are much better and she seems to be much happier and more relaxed than she was before.
This is a pretty long comment I've just noticed but I had a lot to say haha. Good luck on your channel :)
jackofallspades98 Hey, thank you for the reply - I really appreciate it. This helped a lot, especially hearing from someone who is part of the domino/RGM community. I'm going to focus on making my *own* videos as good as they can be... something that I will proud of. It's getting increasingly harder to find time to build because of school, but I want to post something that I am happy with even if it takes a bit longer to make. And believe me, I am beyond grateful that I am able to make domino videos as part time job :) This is the best job I could ever ask for. It's changed my life in so many ways and I can't thank you all enough. Thanks again for the nice comment.
I allays watch these kinds of videos by JacksGap more than once. The first time I watch, I feel like I can only hear the words that are being spoken, but around the 2nd or 3rd time, I start to understand, and after you can understand the words, enjoy the videos even more.
3 years since I first watched this video when I was studying Cinematography at college, now I can understand what Casey said
9 years later, now I´m head director of a record label, directing Music Videos and marketing department. Everything is going well, thanks Jack and Casie ♥
This is why I love and subscribed to Casey in the first place... I've seen more potential in him than anyone else I've ever met in life so far. His stories blow me away every time I watch one of his movies. He inspires me everyday to push forward, and look towards the future. But look towards the future differently. In a way that changes society, and changes the way we think. He's an inspiration to me and the world along with JacksGap. They all change our perspective on life in the present and future. Keep up the hard work and keep doing what you love to do.
it's sad watching this, i'm gonna miss his daily vids,, it kinda feels like a breakup lol this guy is motivation to me
Jack you have been a huge inspiration to me! Thanks to you I started my own youtube channel back in 2012 and now I have been interviewed by BBC Radio Scotland and im going to be live on it at 1:30 Tuesday talking about my channel! I love you so much Jack and I don't know where I would be without you
This video explained to me how Jacksgap is ripping off Casey.
the end, how his last words make you think. really hits you. love it.
very interesting! if you like this kind of thing, you might like Academy Originals'Creative Spark' series, it's so inspiring
Love your videos Doug!!
I can relate
Jacksgap doesn't post daily but when they do post it is so worth it. It is so well-produced and satisfying even for just 3 minutes and a few seconds.
i miss jacksgap´s old videos
Coming back to this. This video introduced me to Casey. And it changed my life.
CASEY NEISTAT HAS PASSION and PATIENCE. HAVE I SAID HE IS THE BEST EDITOR and VIDEOGRAPHER !!
indeed
and best storyteller to. is all today because his story everyday right
This changed my perspective so much. I was always sad that I couldn't choose to have the thing I'm passionate about as a career. To console myself, I always said I could still have it as a hobby.
Jack, I am so proud of what you have become. The fact that a person like you is in my country right now, making a film about it and loving it, is almost overwhelming and it makes me happy. Thank you so much, Jack. ❤
OH MY GOD GREG SPEAKS
I love the direction you have gone, some don't, but those are people who just haven't matured enough to see the quality of the videos you and your fellow workers are creating
Bruh, don't use that advice you got and straight up copy Casey. Use the ideas and advice and extrapolate from them, make them your own. I'm seeing too much Casey Neistat from this guy, it's ridiculous lol.
Ifkr idk if u know but they fell out I'm kinda surprised that this video is still up
+Magnus Garrett i dont think they fell out finn was in a vlog after this and he gave jacksgap a shout out not too long ago
+ViralDot word.
Jack, Finn, what you both are doing is honestly so, so beautiful. Whenever I'm feeling down I come to watch your videos and you inspire me. Please don't ever stop what you're doing, because I believe in the beauty and wonder that you capture in your films.
I always thought it was pronounced Casey NAYstat aha :P my bad. I love his work so much though, and I can totally relate to the "not enjoying film-making" part, at least a little.
Really inspiring
thesheepthatwentmooo Same lol XD I watched your videos
U are just everywhere
I love how your channel has grown to become what it is now. The editing, filming and everything with this video has so much quality I, as a media student, get so happy to see this. Keep up the good work!!
This was a good video, well edited and everything, but this video doesn't convey Casey well at all. He's incredibly out going and funny, and this video acts like he's super serious. He's incredibly talented and one of my favorite human beings on earth, and this video doesn't display who he is. This video shows the harships he faced, sure, but doesn't show who he is today.
I urge everyone to go watch some of Casey's videos if you haven't done so.
+Blake Meyer Oh my god I ten THOUSAND percent agree.
+Blake Meyer I agree as well^^!!!
Jacksgap are the best! Their videos are always inspirational. The camera, the editing and etc were perfect. You and your team made a great job on this one:)
Casey Neistat is so cool. iv been following him for 3 years now! he inspires me to venture into film making too. I have all these ideas i want to share with the world but i know the time isnt right now. First i gotta get the degree out the way make some good cash so i can kick start my projects. In the mean time, rather than just sitting and doing nothing about this film making passion, i keep searching and finding new inspiration,new concepts/visuals from fellow filmmakers like Gnarly bay Javi Devitt (vimeo), Chris Arnold (vimeo) etc, Im also planning on getting into a course on how to use after effects so i can learn editing skills.
At the end of the day all that is important is the action you take each and everyday. Eventually you will reach your goal.
thanks for the advice too Casey!
Chiko Tembo Thats sounds awesome dude! Keep on pushing!
thanks buddy. We all gonna make it (through hard work of-course)
This Video has actually opened my eyes to some things. I love photography more than anything else in the world, and through society, other people and general expectations of how one must live in this world I have forced the question "How can I make a living out of this upon myself?" whereas the real question should be "How can I live my life doing as much photography as possible?".
Thanks Jacksgap and Casey, you have brought me one step closer to my goal.
Greg speaks
One of my absolute favourite filmmakers, his work is so real and personalised. So glad that you guys featured him. Been loving his Snapchat stories also!
This was a start of CN.
The lone note at 2:37 made my cry at the end. My love for casey is so real. I just couldn't even.
This didn't really portray Casey as well as you could have. This makes his seem really shallow and way too serious if I hadn't known him before this
I did not get shallow at all?
My 2 favorite People
JacksGap and Casey are really the first generation of RUclips directors, enjoy their work so much, can only hope to be as inspirational as them one day. Anyone seen Casey's draw my life video?
"I always made a living so I can make movies, I never made movies to try and make a living"
Wow. Looks like I have a lot to rethink :)
I love how JacksGap use their talents to share other people's stories in a very positive, light-hearted way. I don't think a lot of RUclipsrs actually do that. This one in specific inspired me in so many levels.
Aaawn I miss Casey's bun so haaaard!!
I just saw Casey at the Design Indaba conference here in S. Africa a week or so ago. Such a rad dude. Mad inspiring.
Leave a comment down in the description.
Love coming back to this video every now and then
Recently subbed to JacksGap, love your films!!! Casey seems like the coolest guy. I'm taking a gap year right now and if anyone wants to come check out my story feel free to! *Sorry for the random plug, I swear I'm not a d-bag.
Done already? I got so into the video, all that Casey was saying, so true and being part of Jacksgap HQ is probably amazing, especially when you meet such great people.
ADRIAN
+Grant McHugh Yeah, a video where Greg actually speaks and both Adrian and Greg are in the same room with Jack. I want to know more about those two guys, I think I scour the internet and know just about everything about Jack, very talented leader of RUclips famous people, but to see Greg speak and Adrian in the same video... famousness and first time ever, probably.
so beautiful to watch. "i always made a living so i could make movies, i never made movies so i could make a living." Thats a really inspiring quote, it was great to hear this as a young aspiring artist who often thinks about how im going to make a living as an adult and am sometimes discouraged to do art.
first 50 seconds should have been cut
Totally agree with you there
+Monica Sanchez y does this kid have 4 million subs and Casey 3 million
***** That's 'cause he's been actively posting videos since he's joined whereas Casey only did so sporadically until he started his vlogs. Since he's started that, his sub count has rapidly grown from tens of thousands to a couple million.
I wouldn't stress over it too much. Casey's gonna pass him soon, you'll see.
+Monica Sanchez it seems odd that a college student has more subs than an 30 year old who had his own TV show
No it doesn't seem odd at all. In Casey's talk in Amsterdam yesterday (May 28) he says when he started posting, a 14 year old high school kid had 100 times the views he was getting, after winning awards at Cannes, Sundance and having a show on HBO, he was humbled. RUclips is a true meritocracy and those that have it rise to the top, and those that don't fade away.
Logic does not predict that a college student will have less talent than a person successful in television. George Lucas made THX1138 while attending UCLA.
That editing at 1:14 !! It's like an eyegasm. Beautiful.
Well this is awkward
I think Casey Neistat has really shed light on a real issue with monetising creativity (with specific reference to RUclips) which we see so many examples of on this platform today. Obviously RUclips has become very lucrative in the last few years, but there is an clear difference between people who make content for $$ and people who make content to break barriers, to express themselves, to send a message. JacksGap have a real passion for what they do, and it is demonstrated through their content.
Casey is a great guy, please stop copying his style videos Jack.
Was this before or after he totally started copying his style
+Sportgirl16 before i guess, at least before casey got mad
+Ayshat'sArt "a film for ella" is a big ripoff from casey's "surprise in south africa". it's not inspired by casey, it's ripped off from casey
+Haon Nesretep I love both of their work! The videos I make are similar to how some RUclipsrs have been abruptly cutting their videos. But I'm just beginner lol. Technically! People are copying one another in our daily lives constantly, that's how we learn what we like and don't like. I personally would be flattered if someone copied my style of filming, however if they copied EVERY little content of the video to a T then I have a problem lol.
+Haon Nesretep This isn't casey's style. Casey clearly often breaks the rule of thirds and a uses a much shallower depth of field with a wider lens. Jack's style is neater whereas casey's is extremely run&gun and rough, very handmade
Thank god this video exist. Without its help I would never found Casey and now I live in his channel.
Whats name of the song used in the video?
This video is the reason I started watching Casey's video back in March; it incredible to see how much his channel has taken off since then.
Watch caseys videos before you judge him please. Same goes with jack
+Andrew Billingslea not necessarily. jack has done alot of original work as well. Im not saying totally disregard jack. Im just saying before hate on casey check out his work he's a great guy who makes quality content.
+Andrew Billingslea well to each their own man. Jack is a solid entertainer but i can see how not everyone will like him
Casey is one of my favourite film makers and people in the world, this was lovely to hear him talk about passion
I really don't know how you can put in your fake channel the words of a true creative film maker like Casey. It only took me 1 video to know that you're copying Casey's entire work. Even the "a film for Ella" video that Casey made for Candace what's next? A fake kid that you'll claim as yours and you had it when you were 16? A fake movie about Adidas? wow dude you shouldn't even be a film maker
leonardo zepeda Stop. Please.
This has opened my eyes and I agree with this completely. Last week, I graduated from college studying art and multimedia design. It's hard not to think about money especially in my family's current situation but the sole reason I came to art school is that I love art and I love creating beautiful things. Money SHOULDN'T be out of the equation but If it's the only thing that drives you to make art then yeah, you're really doing it wrong. Treat work like play and the money will soon come after.
