Edit is Everything - Casey Neistat

Wow been following him for ages and this only got recommended to me in 2020

2021 for me

[@praveenkumar-cw9sd]

For me its 2021 bruh

[@niteshpradhan5828]

This works for vlogs, not for films... The more organized you are in your pre-production the more you can do with it in post... Some of the best and most creative edits have come from extensive planning and pre-production! Also, I've tried making films without scripts... shit-shows they were!

[@StonedAlone]

haha for real, great way to learn but the pre-production is def mad important

[@mylesdlm]

When he said that he writes the edit then i guess that's a part of pre-prod already.

[@kiribundi]

Tbh, oftentimes a film can change drastically in the edit (for the better). Nothing stops you from shooting more footage btw. However, feature films have so many moving parts that you can't really redefine them after they've been shot... Although Star Wars is a textbook example of a film made in the edit.

[@mg6945]

Yeah. Casey really doesn't do much narrative, story-driven, filmmaking. HIs work is more documentary. But also, at the same time, he is right that an edit can save a narrative film. Look at Star Wars for the one of the most famous examples of this. A lot of that film was fixed in the edit. But, it wasn't entirely written in the edit either.

[@cybernetichorizon8602]

@@mg6945 Casey is still building narrative though, docs are still bound by narrative structure - they have peaks, valleys and crescendos. The thing is though that he has a film education and has probably internalized story structure to an subconscious level.

[@dietcoke9536]

One person’s perspective, may or may not be relevant, go out there, film, make mistakes, and find your own lane. Your artistic identity will come to light after hours upon hours of practice. Be kind to yourself, enjoy the learning curve and most importantly; don’t give up!

[@darkcashyz]

Thanks

[@RenzoWesterbeek]

+CaseyNeistat explaning that the edit is everything for him. Big inspiration for aspiring filmmakers!

[@yeungeddie]

YOOOOOO

[@LFPAnimations]

In animation it is almost the complete opposite. I often form the edit as I shoot since any extra footage is time wasted animating. Editing is simply a place to refine, add audio and fx, and fix any pacing issues.

[@deliciouspops]

yo, this is even better than 'masterclass' not to mention all awful ads on youtube its answer i was searching whole day

[@HALKVLOGS]

Who is here in 2021????? I’ve been watching Casey forever now. He’s the best. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@Kimchi_Studios]

Everyone and every genre is different. It's interesting to hear his method. Editing does make or break videos especially now that our attention spans are that of a goldfish.

[@benneywenney]

I needed to hear this, thanks!

[@AmyandAlex]

We recently shot a video and we HATED it. What we had planned just didn't work out but we managed to edit it in a completely different way and bring it to life. We also shot a vlog with zero planning and the edit turned out great! Better than we even imagined. So, in short, we totally get what you're saying here! Although, my brain doesn't usually work well with zero planning, but great things seem to be happening with less planning right now!

[@kartikeyaphale7553]

why tf is this vid popping now in 2020? great vid btw

[@teugene5850]

when Casey speaks about these things you are forced to pay attention... he knows his craft....

[@TheCuuupcakes]

I agree even if I do not have as much experience .

[@piusgyagenda]

That is on a certain extent my videos only got better when I decided to start planning them and write

[@yeungeddie]

How did I only just discover this in 2021

[@WaliFootball]

This is such a great video!

[@rokitmix7345]

...but dont forget that the edit starts in the script and you're still editing when you're shoting ;) and you give the last hand on your pc!

[@Demaxy83]

Edit is important but pre production is more important. I think that editing is everything when you’re not organized or you have to edit a video taken by a hobbyist

[@mylesdlm]

Casey said that he "writes" the edits. I think that's a psrt of pre-prod already. I think he meant that he plans first what the edit becomes before he shoots. So it's like story boarding and script writing altogether

[@matka5130]

or if you produce shit for youtube

[@dallasburns7806]

Of course it’s in the edit when you don’t have a purpose for making the video other than to make a vlog

[@joshmoxeyarchives]

"You can take sh*t and edit it into a great thing."

[@hedonist8773]

Word!!!! :)

[@WayneTheBoatGuy]

I get it. The video I edit is usually quite different than the idea I had when I got out my cameras!

[@RichardLalonde]

It really depends of what type of movie you are making. Sometimes I edit in my head while I’m shooting.

[@HugoandGoya]

You are my inspiration

Nice. Can you provide the link to the entire talk?

[@tlacelovesnature9393]

Best advice I have received so far

[@dannygitmo]

Hitchcock would argue that it is a key step, but must have Story in mind to hit your budget prior to edit stage.

[@ammarreda39]

anyone elce got it got recommended in 2021?!

[@AustinSchrock]

That’s really cool man. Thanks for sharing this

[@thinkwhatsyourlife5908]

He said another time when talking about his vlogging time that every shot was planned... Is this contradictive?

[@MarlonKingShow]

You can't polish a turd... thats the music industry. Story telling for a vlog... yes, but professionally, prep is key.

[@korneliusoderso]

[@bfoz]

Is this like the medium is the message?

[@sanskarsrivastava5991]

Anyone 2021??

[@davidcaskie6680]

Ok, we know he shoots documentary style for KZbin and other platforms. But one thing I would add... is, if you do more planning in pre-production, even for a doc, you won’t have to shoot 30 hours of footage to get 3.5 minutes of runtime. Think about how much time you’ll save in post. Just a thought...

[@anonymouswhite352]

Planning your filming goes along away. A classic example is drones loads of people say just record the whole time well maybe when battery's lasted 10 minutes bit high end drones ar nearing an an hour of flight time that's to much crap to sort through although thoosebthat don't edit probably disagree

[@andnowhearthis]

This gives me hope.

[@JamesBreitenstein]

so true

[@yeungeddie]

HI CASEY

[@aboodabulaban2867]

he is obviously talking about the type of videos that HE does, all you "feature films directors" can chill out in the comments. i bet no one there is sitting down wanting to know how to make a feature from casey, they wanna know how he shoot his stuff.

[@joshmoxeyarchives]

This, lol. I think people are missing his point

[@kaneda7368]

It's just weird that he calls videos movies thats all.

[@paulgreengod]

​@@kaneda7368 maybe if you actually knew the definition of movie you wouldn't find it weird.

[@kaneda7368]

@@paulgreengod no, still weird. The definition of a word isn't as important as how the masses use them. Language is fluid like that, and dictionary definitions are not set in stone.

[@DrewWillson]

"I like shooting but I don't like editing, I just want to have someone else to do it" = stay away from this person Anyone worth their salt in the content creation/video production industry knows that the story is what's most important- editing is where the story is brought together.

[@LUCHTHANS4]

Don't stay away from this person, just choose wisely when to work with that person. Many of the great Directors of Photography in Hollywood at one point said "I like shooting, but I dont like editing"

[@DrewWillson]

[@demitrisalloum5131]

1. Stop saying movies unless it was actually a movie. Not surprise he would talk like this though. 2. Sure editing is where it all comes together and lots of unplanned magic can happen, so you could say it’s all in the editing. BUT the way he’s describing it makes it sound like he goes in with no plan and makes it all up after - might get away with it in vlogs, but it’s for damn sure he ain’t ever made a real movie.

[@RudydeGroot]

Ik denk niet dat je de Vimeo video goed bekeken hebt. Volgens Casey gaat het niet om de 'tools and the resources' maar om het idee. Ik ben het met hem eens.

[@RenzoWesterbeek]

Z'n hele presentatie gaat inderdaad over dat het niet om de gereedschappen gaat, maar dit stukje gaat duidelijk over het editten.

Let me say this as simply as possible. Do not be like Casey. Do not write in the edit. That is bad. Create a story board and shot list before you begin creating your film... Or it will not be good. If you follow Casey's strategy in 2021, you will fail and nobody will care about your mediocre content.

[@thatoneuser8600]

Circular reasoning.
