The Art of Casual Vlogging | Documenting my 20s shot on iPhone 16 Pro

[@Clintus]

100% agree. I know the quality is better with an actual camera but the convenience and "stealthiness" of the iPhone is so useful. I use mine daily.

[@titid7880]

Awesome vid cuh. Vlogging and putting yourself out there is all about getting out of your comfort zone. You inspire the boys every day, keep cooking dawg.

[@JasonZhao]

🥺🥺

I've been following you for a bit but I absolutely love this concept. I've always wanted to create youtube videos consistently and simply just post because I always feel the need to edit and create this amazing content...but that never made me happy. I'm always more happy just creating something and putting it out. I will keep that mindset of "casual vlogging" in mind this next year :) thanks for sharing jason!

[@JasonZhao]

same went for me, just wanted to make stuff to make stuff

[@GoGiacomo]

I followed your journey with my other account and now that I am officially in the "American version of this platform" I can say that you inspired me to make a video. In one of your previous ones you explain why is important to document your life, and I have done that for 10 years, so I wanted to give a testimony to that. It's such a powerful thing that a lot of people undervalue!

Hi Jason, I’m a big fan of yours, and you’re my English teacher! You never knew it, haha. I really enjoyed your video. Your voice is so calm and peaceful when I hear it. Thanks!

[@ChasingPinkSkies16]

Glad I found your channel!! Your vlogs are so aesthetic! Starting my channel at 30 🙈 and watching your videos inspires me to do better! ☺️

[@canersjourney]

Your vlogs are so aesthetic 😁

[@JasonZhao]

making the most out of my life

[@meloabernathy]

Yessir Jason🙌, I could watch ur videos all day and night man! Keep it up man, I love the consistency!!

[@Waryfuls]

Really gets me thinking... the part about "what i was up to in college" and looking back in general. I keep 'skipping' the mudane things, because I forgot that thing

[@JasonZhao]

seriously, i think back to when i was in high school can hardly remember what i was stressing about back then

[@Waryfuls]

@JasonZhao Really? For me it's random moments in life but school wise I can remember mostly what I was stressing about 😂 It's the mudane days nowadays that I be forgetting

[@HAS-GmbH]

I'm a new follower since today. I like the way you work and express yourself. It's truely great! I alway wanted to make videos and wanted to upload them on youtube. But I was not sure who and even what to film. Now I can say I have a plan and will be creating my own stuff. The idea of filming and documenting my 20s is brilliant. I wish you all the best for the future and see you soon!! Best regards Bruno

[@JasonZhao]

glad to have helped, keep on creating!

[@VideographyKeiberg]

I have the most recent GoPro and I'm amazed about the little thing. You can do so much with it, even with your smartphones, I'm trying to take it everywhere outdoor and film myself randomly at home talking. Just to have some clips and those things can turn out great. Expensive gear isn't per se necesseray, Skills in editting and filming are the big key.

[@david_jad60]

I wouldn't have guessed you were shooting on an iPhone. Your colour grading is amazing

[@vutran9999]

Your endeavor has paid off.

[@KevinGannets]

When i’m alone, I can take my time and setup shots, look for cool angles, try transitions i’ve seen others make the problem is as a husband and father i’m rarely alone… that’s when it becomes intrusive because I can’t stop 5 other people just to setup a shot. Today for example me and my wife went to the mall to do some shopping. I had an idea for a video before even getting to the mall but the issue is having to stop being with her to get the shots or a-roll I needed so that video will have to be done whenever I get to the mall by myself

[@thatvideomom]

love your content! i recently startet vlogging too and i'm still kinda struggling tbh - thinking "no, that's not worth filming, nobody will care about it" 😅 but i keep practicing haha - we really need a video on how you colorgrade that iphone footage 😍

[@matthewmack1492]

love all your videos! 🔥🔥

[@renojames8]

Love the content man and I’m learning a lot from you!

[@HaoTheHeck]

Super helpful video! In the process figuring out sustainable ways to upload more often, lots of little gems here

[@JasonZhao]

yea i’ve gone through the cycle of making stuff for views/ money and it just sucks the life out of creating. gotta do it in a way that’s mentally sustainable for you

[@bobbykalaydzhiev2299]

Love the videos bro!

[@erumasglue]

phone cameras are so powerful these days, awesome vid !

[@JasonZhao]

seriously, they’re so underrated idk why everyone’s always trying to get the newest biggest camera

[@crimsonlul]

W video man thanks for the insight im currently crafting up an idea for my first KZbin video now 🙏🏾 definitely copping the case as well

[@JasonZhao]

excited to see what you cook up!

[@lakranbisaad2491]

Good work!

[@AmandaRicordiTran]

Your videos are very entertaining, and I love the aesthetic! Did you shoot in log or just regular? I'd love to know the setting you used :)

[@JasonZhao]

log!

[@AmandaRicordiTran]

@@JasonZhao Nice, thanks!

[@kexhi]

Love your content ❤

[@JasonZhao]

appreciate you!

[@JanessaLynnae]

Keep going!

[@LouisLuzuka]

This is my favourite 😮

[@ImmortalPlayz]

Pretty new to filming and vlogging and I know scripting and planning your shots is pretty big thing, but I was curious how much “run and gun” and improvising ends up happening (at least from your experience)

[@isobelledger]

I need to try using my phone more. I've always dismissed it because I have such an old phone I feel like the quality will just be shocking. But that's not what matters. I can catch all the little moments - the casual magic. You're so right, people will feel so much less conspicuous if you film on your phone and not using a camera, even if it's a small one like mine. I often try use my canon G7X mark ii, but it's often just not convenient. I'm now motivated to try use my ancient Pixel 4a and hope for the best haha 😅 thanks man, great video!

[@JasonZhao]

a video is a video and if the moments captured then that’s the best you can do!

[@MatthewAsuncion]

Garfield the 🐐

[@ANTOSZfreestyle]

The phone is so power for natural vídeos

[@JasonZhao]

agreed

[@jA.78194]

Do you film with the default camera app ?

[@GilbertMejias]

New subscriber here. Your vlog is so relaxing.

[@LouisLuzuka]

That rode mic is awesome 😮

[@JasonZhao]

def nice to have when it comes to filming on my phone, clipped it on and just forgot about it

[@jA.78194]

Do you keep a ssd with you to film in log ? What you setup because log footage is so large

[@JasonZhao]

i have about 100 gigs free on my phone, just dump it to an ssd or computer after each shoot. my clips are usually like 10 seconds long, 2 min max for talking

[@sansxverse]

I got an iphone 16 pro once i hit 10k subs to create more meaningful content and vlog more often

[@hadikhan-pm9sn]

I need to start blogging any tips

[@JasonZhao]

just hit record and start, you’ll figure it out after a few reps

[@apiranthan2]

What's your wide monitor brand and model brother?

[@JasonZhao]
