The Making of a Viral Video

[@Seven7eh]

Casey's mind is incredible, his simple ideas that he turns into masterpieces just blows me away

[@jadenkendall795]

*blow Sorry. I'm sorry. Really sorry. Please don't kill me Internet :(

[@asheepeatinggrass]

thatbrenkid it would be blow because of ideas if it was idea then it would be blows

[@jdmedia2784]

Casey just oozes energy, amazing what he comes up with, love these vlogs and inspirational ideas.

[@sn0wb0ard1ng]

***** maybe it's just telling that the most amazing things ARE the little things

[@AdamStevens91]

***** Agreed :)

[@RNColgan]

Your videos are not only extremely entertaining but they always feel educational with the amazing advice you always give!

[@dalby5555]

***** spot on

[@AdamStevens91]

***** Yeah Casey is hipping people around the world with amazing information/advice in every video. That's part of how he tells his story it seems.

[@notsaro]

Now that you mention it...you do kinda look like Sean Penn.

[@nikexforce]

Actually though

[@vsidaugaite]

***** i had to google who that was lol

[@vmno6300]

***** i thought, with the classic looking cop car, he was making a reference of the movie "colors" starring Sean Penn.

[@drstampfli]

***** Check his video from last week. You will see he looked like Sean Penn before he mentioned it!

[@EJP668]

FunnyVsTV Me too!

[@LayneWatts]

These videos have an energy that is unlike anything I've ever watched.

[@RashaadRahh]

The crazy part is that I seen the Movie before I seen this VLOG and when I was watching the movie I knew it was the idea of a Mad Genius.

[@bartoszkaliciak6391]

Exactly the same

[@Streetorvintage]

your time lapses are always amazing but the one at 00:25 was just incredible, that pink sky though

[@811cloud]

I genuinely love your vlogs, they aren't just random boring updates that most KZbinrs define as vlogging. You really inspire and motivate, I admire your will to work hard and to keep hustling. I'm motivated to run and to work hard and spend my time working. Thank you, you really changed the life of a lazy teenager. I could never thank you enough.

[@KNOTNATION]

Sam has really got into shape since this vlog! Keep it up Sam!

[@AitchC]

Some thief will be really disappointed when he finds out its not real gold...

[@AitchC]

TheHumanBeing Karim but disappointed compared to the gold watch worth...

[@MehdiNPartDeux]

Halil C It should not be big deal because who ever bought the gold watch in the first place already got robbed...by APPLE!!!! #BOOM #MONEYSHOT

[@EMEMESSSS]

+TheHumanBeing Karim I know this is an old comment, but that watch is around 6000 dollars new.

[@EMEMESSSS]

+TheHumanBeing Karim Oh never mind, you meant the apple watch and not the Rolex. My bad :D

[@AitchC]

MMS yup haha

[@ConnorMcGill98]

behind the scenes are always my favourite types of videos, helps alot to see how other people go about creating something excellent!

[@mchase4]

Brilliant idea! Hope it gets 10 million views!!!

[@Pg-ch5nb]

5 years later it almost has 10 million views

[@KESTRAL23]

@@Pg-ch5nb lol yeah

[@AndrewKleinWW]

Perhaps my favorite of all your vlogs, thanks for all the inspiration!

[@lamofonguera7807]

After being a fan for less than 2 years, I’m finally watching the vlog from day 1. His vids are so binge-able!

[@marcusnordgren8453]

I think that all of us Casey Neistat fans should help Casey make his video viral. Tell everybody you know to watch it, and recommend it to your local news sites and whatever. Lets support Casey!!!!

[@vieltinio]

Love this video! Covers your awesome thought process to production to final result! You are one awesome person, Casey!

[@Mikeyishere]

seeing casey on a bike instead of a boosted board is soo surreal even though I've seen the transition, so use to the iconic duo

[@TomRichOld]

Legit, best vlogs on the web.

[@ChannelEmpire]

That's gold, Casey! Gold!

[@lucascarroll5138]

I love your content so much, thank you for brightening even the worst days! 👍🏽

[@WeGottaSituation]

Always a great feeling to finish something the day you started on it.

[@MarkRamsay87]

I think this was one of my favourite vlogs so far. It was fun to watch you work while I am supposed to be working.

[@hurricanejeffries4606]

HAPPY ONE MONTH-A-VERSARY VLOGGING CASEY!!! LOVE what you are doing. It is motivating and inspiring.

[@beatsbythegenesis3879]

ever been so badass you said you could make a viral video, then u do

[@utleychase7]

The video is about making a viral video, but this is the least viewed video by Casey

[@beatsbythegenesis3879]

talking about his Gold Apple watch vid, not this video.

[@raekarkoc928]

+Spectrum yeah but the video he's talking about got 5 or 6 million views

[@Chukijay]

He’s just doing his job. He came from a large marketing background

[@okramando]

@@utleychase7 Over 9 mil now

It went viral!! Congratulations Casey

[@MrGuineapig22]

Looks like you're proud of your skidding Mister Casey ;) We are proud of YOU, keep it up this is getting better and better !

[@paulhuggett3420]

Casey you looked so much happier throughout this vlog than recent ones. I think it shows you enjoy what you do, especially videos for KZbin!! Great 'behind the scenes' video!!

[@bornarab4448]

I swear every day I look forward to these videos they are just well shot and full of content

[@nawasaka]

I really really really appreciate how much work goes into all of this.

[@IrishFists]

There is just something so compelling about this guys videos. I watched one a while ago and had no idea who he was, just liked how he filmed. Now I'm subscribed and love all his videos, so cool to see how his mind works.

[@dannysavage8218]

I'm here 4 years later. Rewatching from the first vlog. Seen it all before, but its so weird going back in time and seeing the daily vlog. I miss it so much. It actually made me go to New York.

[@MrBishop590]

You always make my lunch so so so much nicer than when you didn't do this new gen vlogs! There is always sthg that makes it almost like a "normal" video of yours! :) Thx Casey! You're such an inspiration for me!

[@camrws]

curse whoever dislikes these pixels from the heavens

[@thatbadasspenguin9466]

+oggo loggo Yes, your good at that

[@davismears8442]

Uploaded on my birthday. Always great to know casey can make my day with just a single video. (:

[@aylin5904]

starting to vlog was probably the best decision casey ever made. love watching them!

[@FluxEdits0]

Love all of these vlogs casey

[@terexagames]

I loved in the editing you synched the music with different shots, so cool

[@pbkszzug]

Vlog #031 that means exactly one month ago. This month has been incredible. THANK YOU CASEY!!! Keep on hustling. Your biggest swiss fan

[@TomJoeSHOW]

Casey so cool to see you making stuff again, I hope this video goes viral

[@gattuso1980]

Watching Casey work is so inspiring!

[@elcesaraparicio]

Casey, always!! but always!! the last thing you say to your love ones no matter how you fell is "I LOVE YOU!"

[@Nomeaus]

I always get happy when I see Casey get happy

[@iantaylor6351]

Ive been watching casey since he had roughly 100,000 subscribers and oh boy, i cant wait until he hits 1 million cause he 100% deserves it. His hard work making movies and the quality of his movies are incredible.

[@-comment]

It's funny when you uploaded that movie yesterday I was just thinking about it going viral.

[@KentGeiner]

One month of Casey Neistat and I watched and enjoyed every single Day/Vlog/Movie! Well done! Keep it up! Greetings from Germany!

[@CommonSwense]

Every time I watch a Casey Neistat video I try to figure out what's going on with his sunglasses.

[@MichaelRpdx]

Common Swense You mean the white artifacts in the dark glasses. There´s a Neistat video that talks about it. Right here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fqCqkmx-hMmWsLM

[@foamie]

Common Swense Watch his movie about it

[@PushpakSirsat]

Check this kzbin.info/www/bejne/fqCqkmx-hMmWsLM

[@fer557]

[@EdWalzak]

[@michellez4397]

I absolutely loveee these BTS (sort of) videos. You are nuts. Well done!

[@Shefatul10]

Dude Your my favorite vlogger, you upload a video before I wake up!

[@AskSLindstrom]

Awesome custom job... keep rocking Casey!

[@Mannymakesvibes]

I'm so happy I haven't watched you Vlogs in a while, it means lots more episode for me to catch up on :)

[@lisak397]

Great movie as always Casey! Never a dull moment with your vlogs. Also, Sam looks like John Travolta.

[@Leftyloveshuskies]

And it goes viral, over 1 million views within a day

[@ryeconproductions2265]

Another fantastic vblog Casey! Your films inspired me to start making my own films and now I want to vblog aswell

[@janebell6278]

Ryecon Productions Now i want a gold apple watch! Really good job on your films Ryecon you should have a go at doing a vblog

[@tombroc7676]

Ryecon Productions Casey's vblogs are another level

[@jackandjulia4133]

Vlog. Vlog. Vlog.

[@kamzdartiste6827]

Friends who help friends at their own expense are the best type of people

[@ronniemcauley8270]

Luv these Casey, much love from Ireland...

[@HelloHiccups]

Love how excited Casey is during his whole movie making process.

[@GetOutOfHereStalkan]

Thanks Sean Penn, the videos are always great!

[@tiffanybrash]

Was silently praying for that watch during the Unboxing, hahaha not sure how/why anyone would agree to let casey unbox something of theirs 😂

[@snesaw]

I really liked this "making of the gold apple watch" video! It got me started following your vlog in the first place.

[@Updato]

I'm so happy for you dude! Casey you are awesome!

[@EverlastingEclipses]

Casey and Sam my two favorite youtubers Man I love this

[@robonot2]

You have gone viral. The gold watch video is now being shown on news websites like mashable. Good job! You showed me how to develop my ideas thank you

[@aidancallahan6209]

casey i love the way you look at life

[@PenIncTone]

Love your work and willingness to share things.

[@heb4488]

Yes!! Perfect way to start a break after work

[@priyapulikkal3749]

I love how you have the ability and confidence to make something your own (or save money) like the apple watch or your glasses... GOOD JOB.. THE WATCH LOOKS SICK!

[@KevinVerstegen]

Wow casey, amazing. Good words, you can not make a viral video, but you can get close.

[@samsheffer]

What a fun day :)

[@onepiecebarca]

You used to be chubby

[@Kylefassbinderful]

Lol you’re sitting in your future shop

[@fanaticentertainment4270]

"I think today might be the day of making a viral video." -Says goodbye to cute baby -Says goodbye to cute dog -Says goodbye to wife in shower Thats viral material right there

[@1vxx]

will you please do a vlog or something to do with supreme new york? such an awesome brand history and really matches your whole aesthetic. cool to see you and your friends wearing some pieces by them. how you dress/ fashion in general would be a good topic for one of these

[@alecdelben]

You can just tell how passionate/happy he is making that video

[@showstopas]

i wanna see more of that precious bundle of joy so cuteee

[@johnpellessier4099]

It pisses me off that you don't have more subscribers Casey, you deserve 10x the amount you have

[@elizaheathen]

Casey's work ethic is very motivational... but Francine lives a pretty sweet life

[@loremipsum720]

As usual Casey delivers. Things we've learn about How to Make A Viral Video: 1. Choose a relevant theme. What's the buzz on the street. iWatch, perfect timing 2. Make it fun. Fun and cute sells better. Puppy with gold iWatch. 3. Flawless editing and storytelling. Two thumbs up. 4. Have millions of subscribers. Pretty much you know they will check out your new video. Casey, you had an advantage here :)

[@Xhoose]

That is beautiful. Well done, sir.

[@Bubziiees]

You know you're early when it says the video was posted 1 second ago! :)

[@casonleopold9783]

Darude- Sandstorm

[@davebirney]

Cason Leopold great to see some new jokes being used for a change

[@dvorapat]

Cason Leopold The Prodigy - Firestarter

[@casonleopold9783]

Great to see someone takes jokes literal

[@aaronarauj]

What's impressive is that you actually filmed and edited two videos yesterday. Well done

[@beeeyonder]

Superrrr clean and well done on the 1 day production time!

[@bosna737]

Favorite episode so far!

[@milesmcauliffe7001]

Casey , can you do more videos like this !! I loved it !

[@dhaneshbhor]

am I the only one guy who is addicted to CaseyNeistat's daily Vlog? :)

[@Axelsypkenssmit]

casey I know you hate learning new software, but I really want you to try premiere pro. I used final cut before and premiere is so much better, learning it isn't that hard.

[@Axelsypkenssmit]

Workfow, its less demanding and therefore faster. It's also easier to have full control over what you're doing

[@Axelsypkenssmit]

Skillty you could do the same in iMovie or windows movie maker, but I really think Premiere is a more efficient way to do so

[@drpepper234]

Axel sypkens smit Final Cut all the way.

[@Axelsypkenssmit]

*****​ ofcourse it is, but casey did point out that he didn't endorce fcpx so I think he should try this

[@casey]

Axel sypkens smit i need to switch. i just hate the learning curve. lost short term productivity.

[@thecrazychikz3]

Every morning before i get out of bed i watch your daily vlog😀 you've become my daily routine ❤

[@Liiiinhaaa]

That first timelapse is awesome!

[@chbrosz]

you always have such interesting music -- i would love to hear you comment on one of your vlogs about your process for finding, selecting, etc. the music you use. e.g. do your employees help you search? do artists send you their stuff? composer friends that write stuff for you? etc. thanks!

[@MaksimmmTheGreat]

If you don't reach atleast a million by the end of this year, then how does anyone else deserve more subscribers than Casey.

[@Megaflubbie]

I had the same feeling this morning, the video is going to go viral!

[@darkgift06]

Just under 2 million views today April 30th, I'd say you succeeded in making a viral video.... almost 2 million views in less than a week. Nice work.

[@maritnmetal]

Casey your watch video is bound to go viral!!

[@Legitlyyy]

Looks like it's gettin' some good views Casey!

[@ThFortuneCookie]

Loved the vlog and the gold apple watch vid!

[@AwesomenessHippopotamus]

Sam's first mistake - allowing Casey to open the box

[@michaelbictache9551]

Soo trrruee!!

[@jo.clemente]

Casey, you film the best sunrises and sunsets. Btw I love your vlog :)

[@lolotgv]

Amazing shots of NYC !!!

[@patricktallman4859]

The little slides he does on his bike are so underrated in these vids

[@tomwebb10]

If anyone is interested in his clothing style, his white pull over hoodie is 'Cashmere Pull Over Hoodie - Everyone' and I believe his zip up hoodie is the 'Classic Full Zip Hoodie in Navy', his shoes are Louis Vuitton, he's rocking a Rolex with an Explorer strap,

[@adrienknight1181]

Thanks for being awesome Casey

[@b_nnett]

I watched the movie 7 times over its so good

[@EdBentley]

Everyone of Casey's videos should be viral

[@bdndmsxnxnxnx2099]

I love how he can make a movie about making a movie and its still just as awesome to watch
