It's funny looking at new comments on this 2015 video. This video was made when Casey had around 400k+ subscribers and about a month after he started daily vlogging. Bigger vloggers with a few million subscribers started stealing his style. Kids don't get it today pretty much every key elements you see in vlogs today wasn't happening in vlogs until Casey. The Time laspes, setup shots like in a film, montage shots, the music editing. Casey was really the first to use DSLR in vlogging. Vlogging before Casey was basically small cameras like Canon Powershots and the vlogs were basically shot in like selfie formats. Casey brought his film making skills into TH-cam vlogging and change the genre forever.
In a way it's stealing but I'd also like to think about it as being "development" in the vlogging scene. It took an professional movie maker (Casey Neistat) to get the ball rolling and because of him, others had to catch up. But agreed, Casey was way ahead of his time and basically a wave maker in the industry.
Full disclaimer, and I will tell everyone, I'm copying your spray painted sunglasses. I'll even write your name on mine. Those are fucking rad as fuck.
+Kevin Doherty haha, I used to have glasses as f'ed up as his when I did graffiti years and years ago.. I should have kept them. At the time I was bummed. ;)
theres something about caseys vlogs thats so interesting, that they almost feel like they are a minute long. I used to love Ben Brown videos but now i find myself fast forwarding through them often. Casey why are yours so interesting even if nothing happens..
beiko the different camera angles are part of the reason id say. its much more interesting than someones face right up in the camera for the whole video. and there actually seems to be a point to each of his videos, not just showing stuff that happened throughout the day
beiko tmay x It's happening to me too. I think it's because he always has an important message to pass through. He gives you a life lesson everyday and he's so truthful to all of his statements, you can see him applying them everyday. Also, he shows so much more of his body on different angles( I know this is weird but whenever I see Ben filmed by someone else I'm always like wow, that's refreshening ahah)
thats true what you all said. Casey actually motivated me to start running, i never ran in my life, and in 1 week i ran 5km for the first time (with stopping of course but i still did it)
beiko omggg haha i thought i was the only one. I've actually started running, every morning! I usually do 5km per day. Slow progress, but its better than nothing. :D
he was joking in the way that there's "truth to every joke" bc it obviously was really short and he should've told her so if she asked, but she can wear what she wants!
Everything that's been done, has already been done. The originals think that they are the originals but guess what...they are not originals at all. They just think they are. Loving your chipped shades and you have a nice body.
Cameron Phillips Your "Life" video is awesome man, really enjoyed that. And I agree, but it's also super difficult to have your own style like Casey said. It's a lot of work and I definitely haven't found it yet.
Basically, Jack used Casey's videos as heavy inspiration: "a film for ella" and "a surprise in south africa" are similar. Also around the period Casey started vlogging/started a new company, Jack did the same. It was basically confirmed when Casey commented on Jack's videos.
+Christopher Short but now Casey and Jacksgap are friends, as shown by Casey's comments of immense approval on a couple of Jacksgap's recent videos. Also, Casey has recommended Jacksgap's videos in the vlog a couple of times as of recently as well, and just a couple of weeks ago he went running twice with Finn of Jacksgap. I can safely say that they're on good terms now lol
Hey Casey, you've done so much in these short 36 days for the TH-cam community. Your style in both producing and editing seperate you from the rest. Well done 👌
Your thoughts on originality are interesting, Casey. Were you talking about your vlogging format? If so, is it really "theft" or "ripping you off" if someone talks to a camera, films their day and includes some gorgeous time lapses? To what degree do you feel like you should be "credited" when someone makes a video similar in style to this one, for example? I think in any artistic pursuit, one's own original style is a big manifestation of every bit of conscious or sub-conscious inspiration you've ever had. I could understand your frustration if someone had literally lifted your content, or copied one of your vlogs or videos from start to finish (which would be SUPER weird), but can you really call it theft if someone uses the same or a similar format? After all, this is TH-cam, how many possible variations can there be of what is fundamentally "talking to a camera and posting it online"? Anyway, I presume you were most probably talking about some corporate whore ripping off one of your commercials, great work as always, Casey.
***** It's more than the style, it's also the content. He's talking about Jacksgap. Who suddenly started doing a daily vlog this week covering the start of his company. He has also copied other videos, like the surprise visit girlfriend video. Or the jack knife hack video. Now I do think Jack means well, Casey is obviously a big inspiration to him. But he takes it too far with copying him. Unfortunately though this is a big issue on youtube in general.
***** He is, search the comments section on Jacksgap first vlog he did recently, Casey left a comment on there thanking some girl who said it was basically copying him.
***** I know, but he still is. He commented on Jack's first vlog this week, thanking someone who called Jack out on copying Casey. You can easily find it, if you look. The thread starts with: Casey Neistat anyone?!
Just gotta say Casey is a huge reason I went to New York last week and made as many videos as I did! I don’t ever wanna steal his concepts but he is the greatest of our generation
You've easily become my favorite youtuber. I don't usually watch daily vlogs, but yours are just so unique. There's something about them that gets me so excited to keep up with!
Well just checked out that JacksGap pretty boy's channel for first time. Rip off artist confirmed. Kid steals fonts Casey has been using for years. Copies Casey's story flow. Copies Casey's cuts. And even more, straight up copies the same exact stories Casey has told. Jack is a spoiled rich kid and the antithesis of what Casey is.
I like how everyone's saying: "Just bc one person does something first, doesn't mean someone else can't do it too". It has nothing to do with who did it first or what content is shown in the videos. It's how the content is being shown to the viewers and the story being told. You can tell instantly whether it's a Casey Neistat movie from any other videos or movies. It's like cooking, when you have the basic recipe like everyone else does. It's now up to you to add your special ingredients into it, to make it your own. You don't copy someone else's special ingredients, then say you came up with it. That's ripping someone else off bc you couldn't think of anything better.
And the glasses and the drone and...keep in mind im 1:36 seconds into the first ever video of his that I have ever watched which I went and saw because of this comment. The fact that people so openly and boldly just steal....its BS.
stfu...he's rides a fuckin boosted board too?!?!? Jesus Christ....I saw him drinking an iced coffee when I was investigating, haha, his vlogs and as a joke I left a comment about it as a half joke.....but maybe that isn't a coincidence either!!! I mean that is a joke becuz it HAS TO BE, everyone likes iced coffee right? There's no way he'd take it that far...sheesh that'd be weird. He's already taken the music, the drone style, the dates, the everything he does directing wise
+butharat I had to go check it out. I went back a few years and watched his old videos, then went up the list, then...I can across his first vlog. I felt like I was watching Caseys and he was nowhere to be found. WTAF! Exactly like Casey's vlogs, the only thing missing was casey,Candice, francine, and oscar. He even has glasses, drones,and wrote his name on his stuff like casey does. He had his own style ,then he high jacked Caseys. This video was made a year before sawyer first vlog,but that doesn't mean dude isn't using Casey for "inspiration" he even has a boosted board. It's not just that,its exactly like Caseys vlogs.
It's been addressed and i for one got introduced to his vlogs because of her but I think it sucks when people keep talking about one thing in all of someone's videos.
call me selfish, but i am so happy Jack copied Casey... other wise i wouldn't have found Casey (or at least not so soon). im not going to lie, im a HUGE JacksGap fan, HUGE. and i came to the video to defend him, but after watching this vlog, watching the sheer quality and then binge watching all of his videos i just couldn't defend Jack. Jack's learned from this, and im so glad i found Casey who's arguably the most impactful and creative vlogger of this generation. keep up all the good work Casey. :-) good honest story telling. :-)
"We are dwarfs standing on the shoulders of giants" Isaac Newton I really think that no one can truly be original, it is a goal, never a reality. Originality is what we are supposed to aim at, but because it is impossible to achieve, it never becomes a reality. We can never fully create something that hasn't been created or thought before, even if it wasn't fully created or thought the way you pictured it.
Enjoy watching Casey's vlogs .. I noticed that Casey expresses his love to almost anyone he knows ; but has reservation expressing his love to his TH-cam followers ; in one of his vloges he even said that .
When your ideas and work are stolen without credit, by those with a bigger following on this platform >:( This has happen to me a lot, I've seen it happen to others a lot , all in all it happens and those that are doing it shouldn't think that it goes unnoticed.... THANK YOU for always keeping it real and respectable Casey!
You have your own style and don't stray from being who you are. For that you should be commended. From spontaneous moments that can only been seen in New York, to the beautiful scenery, to going along on your runs or daily duties - every day of your vlog increases my interest. Much thanks, Casey!
When you've got one person and one camera there's only so many ways to show your day. If you're so easy to copy, then maybe it wasn't so original to begin with. Looking at the camera and filming style is only sizzle, the steak is the concepts and you can't copy those very easily. Heart and soul will always win out in the end anyway.
If this IS about JacksGap which most of you are already assuming, I can definitely see it! Yes, he did make a video about visiting his girlfriend and the knife jack just like casey and he did mention it was inspired by him but I don't think it's the videos that bother me. It's more like oh look casey has a 4x4, I'll get one. Casey rides a bike to a studio, maybe I'll ride a bike to a studio. Look at Casey's wavy locks, you know what I'll do that too. But at the end of the day, I'll watch both of their videos, mainly Casey's I spend far too much of my time rewatching his work!
But then again, if Jacksgap is anything like Casey, he/they should also know to give "Zero F*cks What People Think" like Casey stated in a previous video
***** I totally get where you're coming from, but I think some people are taking it a bit too far. I have curly hair and I like riding my bike, does that mean I'm ripping off Casey? Let's maybe try and stick to more profound criticism.
Momo I agree, of course some people are taking it too far, some people think that by criticising others others it makes themselves feel better because they have nothing else better to do. I even stated on Jacks second Good Collection that everyone, even myself, should stop with the negative comments because I'm sure Casey never intended to cause this, plus imagine how Jack feels!
***** twitter.com/search?q=is%20indirectly%20calling%20out%20&src=typd now how about this? Jackson favorited the tweet. :) I agreed that they were in good terms, even couple of weeks ago. But casey came to know about it just few days ago when Jack started uploading videos of his new business. Since then, things have not been same with these two (Casey & Jack) Its kind of cold war, they are having. & yes, don't forget that Casey mentioned in that video "Its get really frustrated when they stolen by people that have big followings, & lot of their following don't know that this work is stolen, certainly there's no credit, & its painful" & we all know that JacksGap have 4 million followers, so i rest my case!
there's so many youtubers that copy you nowadays and it really is just so infuriating. how can they claim it's just inspiration if they copy everything about your videos (time lapses, close ups when talking, etc)
streetorvintage Anyone can do time lapses and close ups and they don't have to be the basis of how others are copying him. What can be based on is how Casey utilizes them and pieces them all together. I think that's how other TH-camrs are copying him
We all need to vent from time to time but in regards to people ripping off ideas please keep in mind that there are only so many ideas or variables of. Just like a guitarist coming up with a supposedly new lead that is new to him but has been done before. And imitation is supposedly the greatest flattery but I do agree it is frustrating when someone blatantly steals your work. Keep up the good work.
+m0chiii I've seen a lot of the same things in his videos from BMX and Skateboarding videos I used to watch I was a teenager. The time lapse, music etc.
*Kinda ironic because Casey's vlogs are just copying well-established ones, people like Ben Brown and Fun For Louis who have been doing it for years. Sorta like the pot calling the kettle black, no?*
PHOTOTRISTAN but he daily vlogs, that is all that is similar, casey has a topic for every video and will mainly talk about that one thing throughout the video with some bits about daily life. Ben and Louis' are more about there life everyday and what exactly they are doing on that day. I hope this makes sense!
PHOTOTRISTAN Not really though, because stylistically Casey isn't doing that much different than he did before, he's just making more frequent videos. In fact, if you ask Ben Brown and funforlouis they'll say they were inspired by him. And it isn't just about daily vlogging. Jacksgap also copied the surprise his girlfriend video, and the jack knife video. And now coincidentally starting a vlog about documenting the start of his new company, when Casey is doing just that. On top of all the stylistic similarities.
Caseys been doing videos for a much longer time than those 2. Also loads of people do daily vlogs, your acting as if they are exclusive to a few people. Also Ben copies Casey wayyyyy too much + Ben is a tad boring at times.
PHOTOTRISTAN Every Vlogger has their own style. If you have seen Casey's HBO show from 6 years ago you can clearly see that he has carried over that style onto TH-cam.
PHOTOTRISTAN I think you are brain dead...Nothing Casey does is even remotely close to funforlouis or benbrown... I watch those guys but Casey is simply on another level.... Every other vloggers camera and editing style are pretty much very similar...From the hugely popular ones with the most viewers like BFvsGF, Fousey and Romanatwood to more critically acclaimed ones like ben and louis... But Casey has redefined the genre cause his style is so much different and unique to all these other channels... The one thing you cant accuse Casey of doing is copying...
Just went to Sawyer Jacksons page... Almost cried omfg its literally exactly ripped off from caseys work. Pages like his need to be removed. Its disrespectful and unfair. Plagiarism wont get anyone anywhere
Im SO GLAD You Did This Video. My Biggest Pep-eve is When People Copy Exactly What I Do. I Was an International Photographer and Retired at age 30. Everyone thinks it is So Easy, so they Try to Just Do the Same Exact Images as I have done in the Past. It Drives Me Insane!
You said it your self - He looked at current programs and thought he could do it better. That is innovation. Google definition of innovate: Make changes in something established.
Carine Kay Casey daily vlogs are about his new business, jacksgap daily vlogs are about their business. But I still think it's ok, because their content is different in my opinion. I watch both anyway.. :D Just JG dont post any new vlogs.
Euan twitter.com/search?q=is%20indirectly%20calling%20out%20&src=typd now how about this? Jackson favorited the tweet. :) I agreed that they were in good terms, even couple of weeks ago. But casey came to know about it just few days ago when Jack started uploading videos of his new business.

I'm pretty sure the reason casey talked about this, wasn't because of Jack and I'm also sure that Jacksgap discussed his idea with casey and he probably helped or at least gave him tips and stuff
There are two types of people in this world. One is the one who has the gift to do a job and the other person is the one who does not have the gift to do a job but wants to do it. I think Casey Neistat has a special gift for getting great shots of the cities he visits, but that takes effort and dedication to achieve this. I feel very bad with those who copy up the type of lyrics at the beginning of your videos on youtube and even the music. It is sad lack of creativad there today. I congratulate you Casey Neistat for being so original and I simply know that you are yourself without deceiving anyone. Your videos are the best I've seen in terms of photography and your combination of stable shots with unstable make it more interesting. I hope someday to meet you, maybe life will allow it.
I'm curious what Casey would consider to be uniquely his idea. If he considers someone filming themselves riding around on a skateboard, and doing fast cuts, and mixing in some drone footage, then I think he's lost his mind. I really, really like Casey, and I thoroughly enjoy his blogs. He is interesting, and I get 10 minutes of enjoyment seeing what he puts together. But no part of it, to me, is something uniquely styled. Everything that he does, has been done before. So for him to say that people are stealing from him, is a joke. He should watch the documentary "Everything is a remix". What Casey needs to realize is that everything he does, is a "stolen" from people before him, and everything that comes after him will be "stolen" from him (and his peers). He should be happy that he is popular enough to be "stolen" from. You're awesome Casey. You make interesting videos. And you have talent. But don't for a second think that no one before you has done what you're doing. Or that no one after you will do the same.
Peter R -- I think he is referring to the little pieces like when he runs upto the carers and tells you what time it is what's going on so little Aesthetics like that make a difference the filming that's all been done before but it's the way Casey tells stories and approaches the camera, places he outs the camera.
I logged in to my account specifically to like this comment. I know it's a little late but I've just discovered Casey's vlogs and I love them. And my approach to making videos/short films is very much like his and has been since I first made videos 20 years ago. This "controversy" seriously irks me. Casey is a titan in a genre but he does not own it.
1) Open the Alarm Wiring System Control Panel with the key left in the lock. 2) Turn off power switch located on circuit board. 3) Unplug airport power supply to disable any cameras. 4) Make long distance call to Madagascar using land line "test" phone.
i am sorry,being the biggest fan of casey fan for years, i dont see the similarities between casey and jacks vlogs.. ive seen the the 'thank you' respond.. but i dont see it... maybe 'ella' and the 'knife' thing also some early travel vids like 'new york' were completly similar, but not vlogs, i just dont see it. also wanted to point out: to start a bussiness you need quite a time, so please do not say that jacksgap copied 'the creative bussiness' idea too. also they had an office before. so just dont. great vlog casey, particulary loved the running edit!
Jane Jenny also i am sick and tired of people bulling other vloggers and other youtubers here. please be respectful to other works "even if they dont good as casey's" as casey is very nice, respectful man himself.
Jane Jenny Yep,Im a big fan on Casey's, but i dont see the similarity at all....Except for the fact that Jack is starting a new business and decided to do 5 vlogs documenting it..... But that dosent warranty getting really offended about... The style of video and editing and everything else is pretty standard and not close to the uniqueness that Casey has... I dont understand why Casey seem to be worked up about this...
Casey, I've never heard of you until the 2016 Met Gala video and now I AM ADDICTED! I'm in such awe that you have Karlie Kloss not just as an investor but a friend. That is AMAZING!!
It's Thanksgiving and today is the day I saw Casey's last vlog; I cried when the music played. He is my favorite TH-camr/Vlogger and I have been watching his vids for at least 6months. Spending my "turkey day" not eating turkey but watching old vids. This one I hadn't seen. I think it's really cool how you can see NY cityscape reflected in his RayBans at the beginning.
Another fantastic video from CaseyNeistat as usual. But he can't really claim this style of vlogging, if thats what he's referring to. I had never heard or watched Casey Neistat 6 months ago when I was making my Germany vlogs, and our use of "Title, Video with music playing, vlog, etc. then Ending titles" is the natural way you want to make a vlog and very similar. But if he's referring to JacksGap and the recent similarities in a lot of their work I guess I could understand that frustration.
You're an inspiration to myself Mr. Neistat. The only reason why I started to vlog was because of your story to overcome my fear of public speaking. I've pretty much watched all of your videos and I guess your style is a big influence on me in terms of editing but no one can touch your story telling.
The start of your movie just brought about empathy. I had no idea people would actually steal whole concepts. I AM watching your movies to learn from you though. I'm binge watching. :D
Sorry but Jacksgap made 2 videos that are kind of similar to casey. But thats it, I dont get all the hate. He was a great TH-camr, but now he quit because of all the hate
Marzbar has clarified that he started daily vlogging before casey, and if u watch a lot of his videos, it's altogether not the same vibe as Casey's vlogs, although I can see how they are very similar.
In my art class at the university that I attend, the students are taught to draw exact replicas of some of the most famous paintings in the world. We usually spend the whole semester constantly drawing, constantly replicating, until we get a feel for what we truly like. In order to be a great artist, you have to know all of the rules in order to break them.
BinaryCounter He's not hiding. He writes his phone # and address on most of his possessions seen through a lot of his videos. People respect him enough to respect boundaries.
This is the first video of yours I ever watched. I found it earlier this week when Lucy did a video response. I'm watching it again because I went back and started watching from the beginning of your vlogs. You make fantastic stuff!
tola bakare Dude are you sure? Caisey is friends with the guys from the Jacksgap crew. Jack is also only vlogging for 5 days, he has different camera shots, edits completely different and it is laid out in a different format.
In jack's first vlog someone commented that he was copying casey (with some examples) and casey replied to that person saying 'thank you'! You can look it up, it's still in that comment section.
I agree; no one likes to have an idea stolen or "ripped off." However, it's telling and lends to the concept of classic; so in this way, an imitation can be good if the idea becomes greater, right?
Ricky Stafford You're so far off base it hurts. Casey's lifestyle has nothing to do with his wife. He is worth more than a million dollars from his own work. He has taken more risks than you will probably take in your lifetime. His entire career has been one risk after another. He's been married for what, a year? You really think he depends on his wife's parents for financial support? You really have no fucking clue what the fuck what you're talking about.
"Jacksgap is a huge channel ripping off a smaller channels ideas and getting more credit" *dude has 3 million+ subs and 1 million + views* It's selfish why is this industry so greedy, can anyone not be inspired? GOD I was expecting a 100k subscriber channel the amount of fuss it caused and I'm so late which makes it worse
I find it funny how the whole atmosphere of the comment section has changed since this was first uploaded. First all the negativity was directed towards Jacksgap as at the time this was uploaded Jack had setup a company and started vlogging it.This video was released and Jack then stopped vlogging. Ever since then Jacksgap has been constantly criticised for copying Casey. Fast forward about a year and commenters seem to be attacking not just one youtube channel but a whole array of youtube channels. Sawyer Hartman, Marzbarvlogs and probably way more if I was bothered to scroll all the way down. It just shows the impact and influence Casey has had on the vlogging game as a whole and how he changed the style of the genre so much that many other you tubers feel the need to copy his style.
The Blogger With a Secret, well, Jack's Gap year got over so he stopped TH-cam. That's the only sound explanation I can come up with. And JacksGap weren't copying Casey really...
dude so many people copy your style, its insane, I keep seeing these new vlogs who copy your shit like scene for scene, as a mixing engineer for music I stand behind being original 100 percent and find the only way you find your own style is after 6-7 years of doing it every single day, eventually people notice your work, and hire you.
I understand your point of view, but there is a good quote: "If you think you are original, you are ignorant if you think no one had this idea before and lazy cause you have not done enough research". But I totally agree with you on the actual rip-off side.
Most of the people commenting on this video are so naive and stupid. Jacksgap DIDN'T "steal" or "rip off" Casey's style, because it's not even his style. Using a first-person perspective in a video isn't copying anybody's style... it's using a filming style that's been used for generations. Using fonts which are *free to the publc* is not stealing anything. For fuck sake, using similar cuts as Casey? People *really* need to take their own heads out of their arses and stop penalising people for this apparent "plagiarism".
Hey! Try to be more like Henry Ford. Did other people copy his assembly line? Yes, There is nothing original about taking video and talking to the camera. I enjoy your videos but it is not Nobel Prize stuff. Be realistic.
I have been attempting to vlog on a frequent basis but I have been doing what I call a series of "practice vlogs" that you can watch on my page. The reason I call them that is, well, because they are practice haha it helps me out by allowing me to find my own rhythm and style and once I feel that I have found those, then I will officially start vlogging daily. Since I know I am borrowing a lot from already established vloggers, I am simply calling them practice. But yeah everyone borrows ideas from others.
Sometimes I spend my time creating music. And I get told / realize that some of my work sounds a lot like music of famous musicians I listen to and that annoys the hell out of me. Exactly what Casey said in this vlog, I constantly have to be checking if my work resembles the work of others that is present in my subconscious. If it does I delete the work immediately. It just sucks to think that you've created something awesome to realize after that its a rip off >.
MarzBarVlogs -> Here is one great example of what Casey means. This kid uses eeeeverything Casey does... thank God he hasn't found a way to copy the timelapses... its so hilarious... He goes... also to a loft office... which nevermind... you will get it when you see it.... Tears apart his "mail time boxes", has a Q&A... its like a UK Casey Neistat (kid version) ... Check him out...
+Giannis Rigas actually MarzBarVlogs has been around longer (whether or not he did vlogs first i am not certain of) so i think he did do the whole vlog thing first.
Yea ok I see. But that doesn't mean he's completely copying Casey. Marzbar does have some originality to his vlogs, and sure he has a loft office, but it isn't necessarily his fault that he has one. For all we could know it was the only one available. And also the things like the drone Casey uses Marzbar had been including in his videos much much longer. And back to the loft office he is currently building and adding to it. And other than being in a similar setting the offices don't really have any similarities. But other than that I do see your point. The guy does have some similar stuff in his vlogs compared to Casey's. Whether or not they're completely being ripped off by this guy? Probably not true.
And I just wanna say before anyone gets a wrong idea. These, "debates" I guess you could call them, are just for fun. My intent is not to infuriate anyone but to either prove a point, make a statement, or (in this case) stand up for something or someone whom I feel is being wrongly accused. But you (and anyone else) are prone to their opinions. Even my side of this conversation is my own opinion. Taken to a court of law either sides could be wrong. This whole thing is just a statement of opinions and not meant to cause strife. So again not trying to pull strings and start a fight. This is all meant for fun and not harm. Finally (yes I ramble on) I would like to say I am sincerely sorry if i hurt anyone's feelings and/or caused annoyance, anger, and anything of that matter. -Samuel Molinari
+pamela vilela if you go back and looks at for example BfvsGf videos before Casey did his, you'll see theirs were just clips thrown together. After Casey started his 1st vlog in March 2015, you can see the way BFvGF started to change the way they edited and how it is very "similar" to Casey. Specifically: Casey posted his first Vlog on March 26, 2015. BFvGF posted a Vlog "Crazy In Love" on April 11, 2015. This video looks exactly like how Casey edits. If you go back to any video before than, none of them have that style of edit. The video before has a bit of sampling of that edit, but not one before March 26th has that kind of sequencing.
One of your vlogs reminded me of Wes Anderson (maybe the bts of the gold apple watch?), and lo and behold, he's one of your inspirations! Really enjoy watching your vlogs xx
thegoodmuzak He was pulling her leg, as she had allready asked him😜 and then proceeded to remark on her ass being out, when it wasnt, its just teasing (and apreciating his wifes ass and legs!)
Well, just picture your mom wearing short skirts and walking around in a busy NY street, I am pretty sure you wouldn't feel that great about it.....there is an age and time for everything and some day you have to mature up.
I am not implying that a mom should not wear that kind of clothes...its fine if they do it in the house, with family, friends etc....but once you are in public a little bit of decency is expected, there is no reason to make it such a big deal, it just shows frivolity on the part of a mom.....not that i am saying it is slutty or something.
It's funny looking at new comments on this 2015 video. This video was made when Casey had around 400k+ subscribers and about a month after he started daily vlogging. Bigger vloggers with a few million subscribers started stealing his style. Kids don't get it today pretty much every key elements you see in vlogs today wasn't happening in vlogs until Casey. The Time laspes, setup shots like in a film, montage shots, the music editing. Casey was really the first to use DSLR in vlogging. Vlogging before Casey was basically small cameras like Canon Powershots and the vlogs were basically shot in like selfie formats. Casey brought his film making skills into TH-cam vlogging and change the genre forever.
So SO true!
In a way it's stealing but I'd also like to think about it as being "development" in the vlogging scene. It took an professional movie maker (Casey Neistat) to get the ball rolling and because of him, others had to catch up. But agreed, Casey was way ahead of his time and basically a wave maker in the industry.
Facts
Full disclaimer, and I will tell everyone, I'm copying your spray painted sunglasses. I'll even write your name on mine. Those are fucking rad as fuck.
Haven't seen anyone use that word in forever
Zelaznog 16 yeah
IKR
Done it as well! Unreal
+Kevin Doherty haha, I used to have glasses as f'ed up as his when I did graffiti years and years ago.. I should have kept them. At the time I was bummed. ;)
theres something about caseys vlogs thats so interesting, that they almost feel like they are a minute long. I used to love Ben Brown videos but now i find myself fast forwarding through them often. Casey why are yours so interesting even if nothing happens..
beiko the different camera angles are part of the reason id say. its much more interesting than someones face right up in the camera for the whole video. and there actually seems to be a point to each of his videos, not just showing stuff that happened throughout the day
beiko yes me too! i used to religiously watch ben brown's vlogs. Now i hardly even watch them., i watch each and every one of casey's vlog
beiko tmay x It's happening to me too. I think it's because he always has an important message to pass through. He gives you a life lesson everyday and he's so truthful to all of his statements, you can see him applying them everyday.
Also, he shows so much more of his body on different angles( I know this is weird but whenever I see Ben filmed by someone else I'm always like wow, that's refreshening ahah)
thats true what you all said.
Casey actually motivated me to start running, i never ran in my life, and in 1 week i ran 5km for the first time (with stopping of course but i still did it)
beiko omggg haha i thought i was the only one. I've actually started running, every morning! I usually do 5km per day. Slow progress, but its better than nothing. :D
I like how the coke in the fridge is actually arranged to spell out coke. haha
it feels good to see it hahaha

"I asked you if it was too short!!!"
...be honest with your woman, guys
moiraine_damodred and it's not too short and being a mom has nothing to do with how she dresses herself.
Anonymous SB LMFAO! That's one of the best come back replies I have ever read on YT!
I get the idea he's simply messing with her because she was worried it was too short. It's something I would do anyway.
And he was quite obviously joking .
he was joking in the way that there's "truth to every joke" bc it obviously was really short and he should've told her so if she asked, but she can wear what she wants!
Everything that's been done, has already been done. The originals think that they are the originals but guess what...they are not originals at all. They just think they are. Loving your chipped shades and you have a nice body.
there is nothing more frustrating than someone blatantly ripping off your ideas
Cameron Phillips however, thanks for another flawless Casey Neistat film!
Ptown9000 LOLOLOL
Cameron Phillips Your "Life" video is awesome man, really enjoyed that. And I agree, but it's also super difficult to have your own style like Casey said. It's a lot of work and I definitely haven't found it yet.
Cameron Phillips there is nothing more frustrating than someone blatantly ripping of your ideas.
+Husna M there is nothing more frustrating than someone blatantly ripping of your ideas.
I feel like sawyer Hartman is way worse of a rip off than jackgaps
Wait.. how is JacksGap even included in this?
Basically, Jack used Casey's videos as heavy inspiration: "a film for ella" and "a surprise in south africa" are similar. Also around the period Casey started vlogging/started a new company, Jack did the same. It was basically confirmed when Casey commented on Jack's videos.
+Christopher Short but now Casey and Jacksgap are friends, as shown by Casey's comments of immense approval on a couple of Jacksgap's recent videos. Also, Casey has recommended Jacksgap's videos in the vlog a couple of times as of recently as well, and just a couple of weeks ago he went running twice with Finn of Jacksgap. I can safely say that they're on good terms now lol
sawyer is clearly copying casey. the layout, he have dogs too..
You cant really copy someones story. I mean that means you have to live their life, jack has never done that
Hey Casey, you've done so much in these short 36 days for the TH-cam community. Your style in both producing and editing seperate you from the rest. Well done 👌
True
I thought he skipped a few days hahahah
Your thoughts on originality are interesting, Casey. Were you talking about your vlogging format? If so, is it really "theft" or "ripping you off" if someone talks to a camera, films their day and includes some gorgeous time lapses? To what degree do you feel like you should be "credited" when someone makes a video similar in style to this one, for example? I think in any artistic pursuit, one's own original style is a big manifestation of every bit of conscious or sub-conscious inspiration you've ever had.
I could understand your frustration if someone had literally lifted your content, or copied one of your vlogs or videos from start to finish (which would be SUPER weird), but can you really call it theft if someone uses the same or a similar format?
After all, this is TH-cam, how many possible variations can there be of what is fundamentally "talking to a camera and posting it online"?
Anyway, I presume you were most probably talking about some corporate whore ripping off one of your commercials, great work as always, Casey.
***** It's more than the style, it's also the content. He's talking about Jacksgap. Who suddenly started doing a daily vlog this week covering the start of his company. He has also copied other videos, like the surprise visit girlfriend video. Or the jack knife hack video. Now I do think Jack means well, Casey is obviously a big inspiration to him. But he takes it too far with copying him. Unfortunately though this is a big issue on youtube in general.
inepthabit considering Finn Harries was in one of Casey's vlogs recently I highly doubt he's talking about JacksGap
***** He is, search the comments section on Jacksgap first vlog he did recently, Casey left a comment on there thanking some girl who said it was basically copying him.
***** I know, but he still is. He commented on Jack's first vlog this week, thanking someone who called Jack out on copying Casey. You can easily find it, if you look. The thread starts with: Casey Neistat anyone?!

I'm going to use the "I have a hole on the crotch of my pants" line to every hot chick I see to get them to check out my package.
Omg so good! hahahaha
***** she was checking him out anyway when he went to get his camera off the wall lol
***** cool video
btw I'm trying to reach 1000 subs subscribe to my channel
***** spoken like a future flasher....pervert
Just gotta say Casey is a huge reason I went to New York last week and made as many videos as I did! I don’t ever wanna steal his concepts but he is the greatest of our generation
but why is there cereal in the fridge?!
I looked this up... Possibly for an ant problem? NYC is not too humid, so I do not think that's the reason(usually the cause).
You've easily become my favorite youtuber. I don't usually watch daily vlogs, but yours are just so unique. There's something about them that gets me so excited to keep up with!
your titles are so good, I'm always so intrigued!
Again, another quality video Casey :)
AlexsLens Ikr he's so awesome.
AlexsLens yep u're sooooooo original
Well just checked out that JacksGap pretty boy's channel for first time. Rip off artist confirmed.
Kid steals fonts Casey has been using for years. Copies Casey's story flow. Copies Casey's cuts. And even more, straight up copies the same exact stories Casey has told.
Jack is a spoiled rich kid and the antithesis of what Casey is.
People keep bringing up the font thing and I'm not an expert on their channels but as far as I can tell they use completely different typefaces.
I like how everyone's saying: "Just bc one person does something first, doesn't mean someone else can't do it too". It has nothing to do with who did it first or what content is shown in the videos. It's how the content is being shown to the viewers and the story being told. You can tell instantly whether it's a Casey Neistat movie from any other videos or movies. It's like cooking, when you have the basic recipe like everyone else does. It's now up to you to add your special ingredients into it, to make it your own. You don't copy someone else's special ingredients, then say you came up with it. That's ripping someone else off bc you couldn't think of anything better.
I don't see what the big deal is, it's not like he's loosing money or subscribers. Jacksgap isn't doing anything illegal so who cares!
iChase Pretty sure JacksGap is edited by several different people not just Jack. He also did a video with him about a month ago, sooooo.
EXACTLY!
You know who's an exact copy? I mean even down to the boosted board... Sawyer Hartman
Yeah I noticed that too, it gets a bit cringey at one point.
I'm pretty sure boosted board sent him one too?
And the glasses and the drone and...keep in mind im 1:36 seconds into the first ever video of his that I have ever watched which I went and saw because of this comment. The fact that people so openly and boldly just steal....its BS.
stfu...he's rides a fuckin boosted board too?!?!? Jesus Christ....I saw him drinking an iced coffee when I was investigating, haha, his vlogs and as a joke I left a comment about it as a half joke.....but maybe that isn't a coincidence either!!! I mean that is a joke becuz it HAS TO BE, everyone likes iced coffee right? There's no way he'd take it that far...sheesh that'd be weird. He's already taken the music, the drone style, the dates, the everything he does directing wise
for reals
If you read this Sawyer Hartman, he's talking to you :D
I had no idea who Sawyer was but it was like watching a spoiled fratboy version of Casey
+butharat I had to go check it out. I went back a few years and watched his old videos, then went up the list, then...I can across his first vlog. I felt like I was watching Caseys and he was nowhere to be found. WTAF! Exactly like Casey's vlogs, the only thing missing was casey,Candice, francine, and oscar. He even has glasses, drones,and wrote his name on his stuff like casey does. He had his own style ,then he high jacked Caseys. This video was made a year before sawyer first vlog,but that doesn't mean dude isn't using Casey for "inspiration" he even has a boosted board. It's not just that,its exactly like Caseys vlogs.
Link please??
im finding myself doing little claps after a lot of your inspiring talks/rants. MOST CLAPPED DAILY VLOGGER. you get that award from me to you.
***** will you do more vlogs?)
Imitation is the greatest form of flattery my man. But full on rip off artists can go chase traffic, 100% agree.
Why is no one talking about the fact that he's business partners with KARLIE KLOSS!?? Am I the only one who thinks this is really cool!??
It's been addressed and i for one got introduced to his vlogs because of her but I think it sucks when people keep talking about one thing in all of someone's videos.
She's so hot
why is noone talking about the fact that the coke cans in his fridge are all sorted/turned so that the lines aline?!
call me selfish, but i am so happy Jack copied Casey... other wise i wouldn't have found Casey (or at least not so soon). im not going to lie, im a HUGE JacksGap fan, HUGE. and i came to the video to defend him, but after watching this vlog, watching the sheer quality and then binge watching all of his videos i just couldn't defend Jack. Jack's learned from this, and im so glad i found Casey who's arguably the most impactful and creative vlogger of this generation.
keep up all the good work Casey. :-) good honest story telling. :-)
+ellie story of my life hun :)
Wait how? Jack was in Casey’s studio just a couple of weeks before this vlog! There were in meeting!
Sorry if this question is too deep and personal, but - why do you keep your cereal in your fridge?
You get it Casey! I'm inspired by you every day. Its like a little dose of magic every morning.
My first Neistat vlog. Sad days. Already feeling nostalgic.
Chillerthriller -- better late than never
Episode 33 isn't late...
It's a new chapter!
has Sawyer Hartman seen this?
true
who ?
+looks-like-kristoff went on his channel and could barely watch 3 min 😵😵😵😵
Ah, yup. Seen his thing and it indeed looks like the same formula. Music, panning, bird's eyeview style, etc.
right?

I really think that no one can truly be original, it is a goal, never a reality. Originality is what we are supposed to aim at, but because it is impossible to achieve, it never becomes a reality. We can never fully create something that hasn't been created or thought before, even if it wasn't fully created or thought the way you pictured it.
Enjoy watching Casey's vlogs .. I noticed that Casey expresses his love to almost anyone he knows ; but has reservation expressing his love to his TH-cam followers ; in one of his vloges he even said that .
When your ideas and work are stolen without credit, by those with a bigger following on this platform >:( This has happen to me a lot, I've seen it happen to others a lot , all in all it happens and those that are doing it shouldn't think that it goes unnoticed.... THANK YOU for always keeping it real and respectable Casey!
You have your own style and don't stray from being who you are. For that you should be commended. From spontaneous moments that can only been seen in New York, to the beautiful scenery, to going along on your runs or daily duties - every day of your vlog increases my interest. Much thanks, Casey!
When you've got one person and one camera there's only so many ways to show your day. If you're so easy to copy, then maybe it wasn't so original to begin with. Looking at the camera and filming style is only sizzle, the steak is the concepts and you can't copy those very easily. Heart and soul will always win out in the end anyway.
If this IS about JacksGap which most of you are already assuming, I can definitely see it! Yes, he did make a video about visiting his girlfriend and the knife jack just like casey and he did mention it was inspired by him but I don't think it's the videos that bother me. It's more like oh look casey has a 4x4, I'll get one. Casey rides a bike to a studio, maybe I'll ride a bike to a studio. Look at Casey's wavy locks, you know what I'll do that too.
But at the end of the day, I'll watch both of their videos, mainly Casey's I spend far too much of my time rewatching his work!
But then again, if Jacksgap is anything like Casey, he/they should also know to give "Zero F*cks What People Think" like Casey stated in a previous video
***** I totally get where you're coming from, but I think some people are taking it a bit too far. I have curly hair and I like riding my bike, does that mean I'm ripping off Casey? Let's maybe try and stick to more profound criticism.
Momo I agree, of course some people are taking it too far, some people think that by criticising others others it makes themselves feel better because they have nothing else better to do. I even stated on Jacks second Good Collection that everyone, even myself, should stop with the negative comments because I'm sure Casey never intended to cause this, plus imagine how Jack feels!
***** twitter.com/search?q=is%20indirectly%20calling%20out%20&src=typd now how about this? Jackson favorited the tweet. :)
I agreed that they were in good terms, even couple of weeks ago. But casey came to know about it just few days ago when Jack started uploading videos of his new business. Since then, things have not been same with these two (Casey & Jack) Its kind of cold war, they are having.
& yes, don't forget that Casey mentioned in that video "Its get really frustrated when they stolen by people that have big followings, & lot of their following don't know that this work is stolen, certainly there's no credit, & its painful" & we all know that JacksGap have 4 million followers, so i rest my case!
Jacks Gap recently began a daily vlog about starting up his own business. It's funny the similarities with your vlog.
there's so many youtubers that copy you nowadays and it really is just so infuriating. how can they claim it's just inspiration if they copy everything about your videos (time lapses, close ups when talking, etc)
Time lapses are not something original to Casey's work. But j see what you mean about close ups
That is true, I shouldn't have included time lapses
of course. casey is the inventor of everything ;)
streetorvintage Anyone can do time lapses and close ups and they don't have to be the basis of how others are copying him. What can be based on is how Casey utilizes them and pieces them all together. I think that's how other TH-camrs are copying him
M Willy Could you give an example of someone who is doing it?
We all need to vent from time to time but in regards to people ripping off ideas please keep in mind that there are only so many ideas or variables of. Just like a guitarist coming up with a supposedly new lead that is new to him but has been done before. And imitation is supposedly the greatest flattery but I do agree it is frustrating when someone blatantly steals your work. Keep up the good work.
Nothing is original
I wouldn't say that, in terms of content and video production their is always new things to strive for.
+roshefrags everything is just a reshuffling of things made in the past.
That's a very unoriginal comment.
+m0chiii I've seen a lot of the same things in his videos from BMX and Skateboarding videos I used to watch I was a teenager. The time lapse, music etc.
+m0chiii and yet you cant step into the same river once, much less twice.
*Kinda ironic because Casey's vlogs are just copying well-established ones, people like Ben Brown and Fun For Louis who have been doing it for years. Sorta like the pot calling the kettle black, no?*
PHOTOTRISTAN but he daily vlogs, that is all that is similar, casey has a topic for every video and will mainly talk about that one thing throughout the video with some bits about daily life. Ben and Louis' are more about there life everyday and what exactly they are doing on that day. I hope this makes sense!
PHOTOTRISTAN Not really though, because stylistically Casey isn't doing that much different than he did before, he's just making more frequent videos. In fact, if you ask Ben Brown and funforlouis they'll say they were inspired by him. And it isn't just about daily vlogging. Jacksgap also copied the surprise his girlfriend video, and the jack knife video. And now coincidentally starting a vlog about documenting the start of his new company, when Casey is doing just that. On top of all the stylistic similarities.
Caseys been doing videos for a much longer time than those 2. Also loads of people do daily vlogs, your acting as if they are exclusive to a few people.
Also Ben copies Casey wayyyyy too much + Ben is a tad boring at times.
PHOTOTRISTAN Every Vlogger has their own style. If you have seen Casey's HBO show from 6 years ago you can clearly see that he has carried over that style onto TH-cam.
PHOTOTRISTAN I think you are brain dead...Nothing Casey does is even remotely close to funforlouis or benbrown... I watch those guys but Casey is simply on another level....
Every other vloggers camera and editing style are pretty much very similar...From the hugely popular ones with the most viewers like BFvsGF, Fousey and Romanatwood to more critically acclaimed ones like ben and louis... But Casey has redefined the genre cause his style is so much different and unique to all these other channels... The one thing you cant accuse Casey of doing is copying...
Just went to Sawyer Jacksons page... Almost cried omfg its literally exactly ripped off from caseys work. Pages like his need to be removed. Its disrespectful and unfair. Plagiarism wont get anyone anywhere
Hartman lol oops
except him. he has almost 2m subbies.
That running sequence was awesome. Wish I followed you when you first started this, watching it through now and absolutely loving it!
Im SO GLAD You Did This Video.
My Biggest Pep-eve is When People Copy Exactly What I Do.
I Was an International Photographer and Retired at age 30.
Everyone thinks it is So Easy, so they Try to Just Do the Same Exact Images as I have done in the Past.
It Drives Me Insane!
I think you mean "pet peeve"
Irsh obviously that's what I was saying. (Auto correct)
This vlog is pretty ironic because by your definition beme would be a "ripoff"...
That is unfortunately true. Sad to say, but he's at risk to overdo it.
+Carlito a ripoff of what?
+Taylor Sweeney it's pretty close to Vine, not exactly like that.
I disagree, I think what Case was going for with Beme was an unfiltered sharing app where you post real experiences from your point of view.
You said it your self - He looked at current programs and thought he could do it better. That is innovation. Google definition of innovate: Make changes in something established.
*cough* Jacksgap *cough*
Euan why?
Carine Kay Casey daily vlogs are about his new business, jacksgap daily vlogs are about their business. But I still think it's ok, because their content is different in my opinion. I watch both anyway.. :D Just JG dont post any new vlogs.
Euan twitter.com/search?q=is%20indirectly%20calling%20out%20&src=typd now how about this? Jackson favorited the tweet. :)

I'm pretty sure the reason casey talked about this, wasn't because of Jack and I'm also sure that Jacksgap discussed his idea with casey and he probably helped or at least gave him tips and stuff
Belle De Jame there are tuns of people making their own company, if casey meant them then he is not a good friend!
There are two types of people in this world. One is the one who has the gift to do a job and the other person is the one who does not have the gift to do a job but wants to do it. I think Casey Neistat has a special gift for getting great shots of the cities he visits, but that takes effort and dedication to achieve this.
I feel very bad with those who copy up the type of lyrics at the beginning of your videos on youtube and even the music. It is sad lack of creativad there today. I congratulate you Casey Neistat for being so original and I simply know that you are yourself without deceiving anyone. Your videos are the best I've seen in terms of photography and your combination of stable shots with unstable make it more interesting. I hope someday to meet you, maybe life will allow it.
You deserve a standing ovation for this from Sept. 2017!
I'm curious what Casey would consider to be uniquely his idea. If he considers someone filming themselves riding around on a skateboard, and doing fast cuts, and mixing in some drone footage, then I think he's lost his mind. I really, really like Casey, and I thoroughly enjoy his blogs. He is interesting, and I get 10 minutes of enjoyment seeing what he puts together. But no part of it, to me, is something uniquely styled. Everything that he does, has been done before. So for him to say that people are stealing from him, is a joke. He should watch the documentary "Everything is a remix". What Casey needs to realize is that everything he does, is a "stolen" from people before him, and everything that comes after him will be "stolen" from him (and his peers). He should be happy that he is popular enough to be "stolen" from. You're awesome Casey. You make interesting videos. And you have talent. But don't for a second think that no one before you has done what you're doing. Or that no one after you will do the same.
Peter R -- I think he is referring to the little pieces like when he runs upto the carers and tells you what time it is what's going on so little Aesthetics like that make a difference the filming that's all been done before but it's the way Casey tells stories and approaches the camera, places he outs the camera.
I logged in to my account specifically to like this comment. I know it's a little late but I've just discovered Casey's vlogs and I love them. And my approach to making videos/short films is very much like his and has been since I first made videos 20 years ago. This "controversy" seriously irks me. Casey is a titan in a genre but he does not own it.
1) Open the Alarm Wiring System Control Panel with the key left in the lock. 2) Turn off power switch located on circuit board. 3) Unplug airport power supply to disable any cameras. 4) Make long distance call to Madagascar using land line "test" phone.
Amen to that Casey! Drives me nuts how many people are duplicating your art. They even use the same song. UGHHH!!!
Did anyone else eat a scoop of peanut butter after the intro?
+keith santiago me right now
i am sorry,being the biggest fan of casey fan for years, i dont see the similarities between casey and jacks vlogs.. ive seen the the 'thank you' respond.. but i dont see it...
maybe 'ella' and the 'knife' thing also some early travel vids like 'new york' were completly similar, but not vlogs, i just dont see it.
also wanted to point out: to start a bussiness you need quite a time, so please do not say that jacksgap copied 'the creative bussiness' idea too. also they had an office before. so just dont.
great vlog casey, particulary loved the running edit!
Jane Jenny also i am sick and tired of people bulling other vloggers and other youtubers here. please be respectful to other works "even if they dont good as casey's" as casey is very nice, respectful man himself.
Jane Jenny Yep,Im a big fan on Casey's, but i dont see the similarity at all....Except for the fact that Jack is starting a new business and decided to do 5 vlogs documenting it.....
But that dosent warranty getting really offended about... The style of video and editing and everything else is pretty standard and not close to the uniqueness that Casey has... I dont understand why Casey seem to be worked up about this...
Casey, I've never heard of you until the 2016 Met Gala video and now I AM ADDICTED! I'm in such awe that you have Karlie Kloss not just as an investor but a friend. That is AMAZING!!
It's Thanksgiving and today is the day I saw Casey's last vlog; I cried when the music played. He is my favorite TH-camr/Vlogger and I have been watching his vids for at least 6months. Spending my "turkey day" not eating turkey but watching old vids. This one I hadn't seen. I think it's really cool how you can see NY cityscape reflected in his RayBans at the beginning.
Another fantastic video from CaseyNeistat as usual. But he can't really claim this style of vlogging, if thats what he's referring to. I had never heard or watched Casey Neistat 6 months ago when I was making my Germany vlogs, and our use of "Title, Video with music playing, vlog, etc. then Ending titles" is the natural way you want to make a vlog and very similar. But if he's referring to JacksGap and the recent similarities in a lot of their work I guess I could understand that frustration.
Can someone explain to me what caused that little rant at the beginning?
Casey replied 'thank you' to someone criticising jacksgap for copying him on their video yesterday so I imagine that!
Probably a few things, some call of duty person posted a quote as if it was his own, RipCurl copied one of his ads and Jacksgap in general..
Sorry, Quicksilver not RipCurl
Lachlan Chang Where can i find this quicksilver ad?
Charles Hook I wrote a blog about it this week. You can see it here bit.ly/1I0GyuX
You're an inspiration to myself Mr. Neistat. The only reason why I started to vlog was because of your story to overcome my fear of public speaking. I've pretty much watched all of your videos and I guess your style is a big influence on me in terms of editing but no one can touch your story telling.
The start of your movie just brought about empathy. I had no idea people would actually steal whole concepts.
I AM watching your movies to learn from you though. I'm binge watching. :D
Sawyer Hartman annoys the crap out of me. He even attempts to copy Casey's personality
if you are looking for copycats check out marzbarvlogs (way worse than Jacksgap)
Even Casey's finger and hand gestures are copied! hahahaha
How is Marzbar a copy? He has said dozens of times he is a big casey fan
its still copying
Sorry but Jacksgap made 2 videos that are kind of similar to casey. But thats it, I dont get all the hate. He was a great TH-camr, but now he quit because of all the hate
Marzbar has clarified that he started daily vlogging before casey, and if u watch a lot of his videos, it's altogether not the same vibe as Casey's vlogs, although I can see how they are very similar.
Stand-up comedians are always stealing jokes....you're so right
Inspiration in my book is incorporating a smaller idea in to "your" larger idea.
JacksGap does it the most LOL
You are a huge source of inspiration to my videos, Casey. Thanks for being such an amazing source of creativity and keep up the great work.
In my art class at the university that I attend, the students are taught to draw exact replicas of some of the most famous paintings in the world. We usually spend the whole semester constantly drawing, constantly replicating, until we get a feel for what we truly like. In order to be a great artist, you have to know all of the rules in order to break them.
Uhm, Casey? You just filmed the signs of the intersection near your apartment. People will know where you live and start stalking you at home.....
BinaryCounter He's not hiding. He writes his phone # and address on most of his possessions seen through a lot of his videos. People respect him enough to respect boundaries.
philiq18 that's his studio adress and phone not his home adress.
I see. Then you've raised a serious oversight on his part. Good eye.
BinaryCounter he's shown where he lives on a map in another one of his videos but its gated so they can't get in.
BinaryCounter philiq18 He displays it all the time!!
Being copied is probably the biggest compliment an artist can get and an admission of a copycat that he/she is not as good as you.
This is the first video of yours I ever watched. I found it earlier this week when Lucy did a video response. I'm watching it again because I went back and started watching from the beginning of your vlogs. You make fantastic stuff!
Anyone know what casey was referring to when he said that he's been having problems with "copycats"?

tola bakare Dude are you sure? Caisey is friends with the guys from the Jacksgap crew. Jack is also only vlogging for 5 days, he has different camera shots, edits completely different and it is laid out in a different format.
Rip Curl. They copied one of his advertisements. The one he surfed in a suit.
In jack's first vlog someone commented that he was copying casey (with some examples) and casey replied to that person saying 'thank you'! You can look it up, it's still in that comment section.
Isher Has to be JacksGap, yesterday (I think?) he commented someone 'thank you' who called Jack out on it.
At first I thought I was watching howtobasic
"Good artists copy, great artists steal."
-Pablo Picasso
Casey is so awesome and Karlie is absolutely GORGEOUS!!!
I'm so jealous that he knows Karlie Kloss!
thx for her name.
Idk how I stumbled upon you, but I am so glad I did. I've been binge watching since Wednesday.
I agree; no one likes to have an idea stolen or "ripped off." However, it's telling and lends to the concept of classic; so in this way, an imitation can be good if the idea becomes greater, right?
the real reason Casey can take so many risks: Candice's parents are LOADED. (only half-joking)
Ricky Stafford That is a unnecessary thing to say. He took risks long before her. Like moving out at 16.
limtd slipdf don't you mean having a kid at 16. Seems like a way more noteworthy event that happened at that age.
Also he didn't really move out by choice...so it can't be defined as a risk. Also tons of people his age moved out at an early age
Ricky Stafford You're so far off base it hurts. Casey's lifestyle has nothing to do with his wife. He is worth more than a million dollars from his own work. He has taken more risks than you will probably take in your lifetime.
His entire career has been one risk after another. He's been married for what, a year?
You really think he depends on his wife's parents for financial support? You really have no fucking clue what the fuck what you're talking about.
JacksGap fanboy alert.
"Jacksgap is a huge channel ripping off a smaller channels ideas and getting more credit"
*dude has 3 million+ subs and 1 million + views*
It's selfish why is this industry so greedy, can anyone not be inspired? GOD I was expecting a 100k subscriber channel the amount of fuss it caused and I'm so late which makes it worse
Damn Casey rocking the LV kicks when he dropped the rolex
I love you man, honestly a really great individual thanks for taking some time from your life and making it part of mine
I find it funny how the whole atmosphere of the comment section has changed since this was first uploaded. First all the negativity was directed towards Jacksgap as at the time this was uploaded Jack had setup a company and started vlogging it.This video was released and Jack then stopped vlogging. Ever since then Jacksgap has been constantly criticised for copying Casey. Fast forward about a year and commenters seem to be attacking not just one youtube channel but a whole array of youtube channels. Sawyer Hartman, Marzbarvlogs and probably way more if I was bothered to scroll all the way down. It just shows the impact and influence Casey has had on the vlogging game as a whole and how he changed the style of the genre so much that many other you tubers feel the need to copy his style.
The Blogger With a Secret, well, Jack's Gap year got over so he stopped TH-cam. That's the only sound explanation I can come up with. And JacksGap weren't copying Casey really...
Wtf why didn't he just talk to jacksgap they are mates instead of going behind his back and trying to ruin his channel. I'm just glad it didn't work.
dude so many people copy your style, its insane, I keep seeing these new vlogs who copy your shit like scene for scene, as a mixing engineer for music I stand behind being original 100 percent and find the only way you find your own style is after 6-7 years of doing it every single day, eventually people notice your work, and hire you.
I understand your point of view, but there is a good quote: "If you think you are original, you are ignorant if you think no one had this idea before and lazy cause you have not done enough research". But I totally agree with you on the actual rip-off side.
Most of the people commenting on this video are so naive and stupid.
Jacksgap DIDN'T "steal" or "rip off" Casey's style, because it's not even his style.
Using a first-person perspective in a video isn't copying anybody's style... it's using a filming style that's been used for generations.
Using fonts which are *free to the publc* is not stealing anything.
For fuck sake, using similar cuts as Casey? People *really* need to take their own heads out of their arses and stop penalising people for this apparent "plagiarism".
Hey! Try to be more like Henry Ford. Did other people copy his assembly line? Yes, There is nothing original about taking video and talking to the camera. I enjoy your videos but it is not Nobel Prize stuff. Be realistic.
+Melee Huijbens why did you say "but" ? Your point is exactly the same as +Mark Wheeler
+Mark Wheeler The original assembly line came from a meatpacking business in Chicago, way before Ford used it for his model Ts.
Ford perfected it!
BTW...having carcasses hung on hooks going around in a circle is not an assembly line it is a deconstruction line. Removing cuts at each stop.
I like the ending how they were picking up the garbage. hope in society restored!
Those clouds at the end were just insane.
When someone steals my meme
He flew to NYC to fix your watch!!!! WHAT A GUY!
I have been attempting to vlog on a frequent basis but I have been doing what I call a series of "practice vlogs" that you can watch on my page. The reason I call them that is, well, because they are practice haha it helps me out by allowing me to find my own rhythm and style and once I feel that I have found those, then I will officially start vlogging daily. Since I know I am borrowing a lot from already established vloggers, I am simply calling them practice. But yeah everyone borrows ideas from others.
Sometimes I spend my time creating music. And I get told / realize that some of my work sounds a lot like music of famous musicians I listen to and that annoys the hell out of me. Exactly what Casey said in this vlog, I constantly have to be checking if my work resembles the work of others that is present in my subconscious. If it does I delete the work immediately. It just sucks to think that you've created something awesome to realize after that its a rip off >.
MarzBarVlogs -> Here is one great example of what Casey means. This kid uses eeeeverything Casey does... thank God he hasn't found a way to copy the timelapses... its so hilarious... He goes... also to a loft office... which nevermind... you will get it when you see it.... Tears apart his "mail time boxes", has a Q&A... its like a UK Casey Neistat (kid version) ... Check him out...
+Giannis Rigas actually MarzBarVlogs has been around longer (whether or not he did vlogs first i am not certain of) so i think he did do the whole vlog thing first.
Samuel molinari I am saying the way he shoots his vlogs are copied from Casey! Just go back and see when he did this change and you will understand
Yea ok I see. But that doesn't mean he's completely copying Casey. Marzbar does have some originality to his vlogs, and sure he has a loft office, but it isn't necessarily his fault that he has one. For all we could know it was the only one available. And also the things like the drone Casey uses Marzbar had been including in his videos much much longer. And back to the loft office he is currently building and adding to it. And other than being in a similar setting the offices don't really have any similarities.
But other than that I do see your point. The guy does have some similar stuff in his vlogs compared to Casey's. Whether or not they're completely being ripped off by this guy? Probably not true.
And I just wanna say before anyone gets a wrong idea. These, "debates" I guess you could call them, are just for fun. My intent is not to infuriate anyone but to either prove a point, make a statement, or (in this case) stand up for something or someone whom I feel is being wrongly accused.
But you (and anyone else) are prone to their opinions. Even my side of this conversation is my own opinion. Taken to a court of law either sides could be wrong. This whole thing is just a statement of opinions and not meant to cause strife. So again not trying to pull strings and start a fight. This is all meant for fun and not harm.
Finally (yes I ramble on) I would like to say I am sincerely sorry if i hurt anyone's feelings and/or caused annoyance, anger, and anything of that matter.

Who copied what about him?
+pamela vilela bfvsgf and JacksGap are the Biggest Rip-off
Siidka Van Ibrahim Oh really?can I ask what did they do?
+pamela vilela if you go back and looks at for example BfvsGf videos before Casey did his, you'll see theirs were just clips thrown together. After Casey started his 1st vlog in March 2015, you can see the way BFvGF started to change the way they edited and how it is very "similar" to Casey. Specifically:
Casey posted his first Vlog on March 26, 2015.
BFvGF posted a Vlog "Crazy In Love" on April 11, 2015. This video looks exactly like how Casey edits.
If you go back to any video before than, none of them have that style of edit. The video before has a bit of sampling of that edit, but not one before March 26th has that kind of sequencing.
Oooooh man, I see, thanks for the info! what about jacksgap? I really liked those guys :(
Siidka Van Ibrahim Oooooh man, I see, thanks for the info! what about jacksgap? I really liked those guys :(
I bought a skateboard today because every time I watch one of your videos you're on a board which looks so fun can wait to learn how to ride it!
One of your vlogs reminded me of Wes Anderson (maybe the bts of the gold apple watch?), and lo and behold, he's one of your inspirations! Really enjoy watching your vlogs xx
Yeah man because you didn’t copy Tom Sachs
He didn't because Casey and his brother Van actually made those Tom Sachs videos.
Casey Neistat is my spirit animal... The first scene is so perfect.
Can't stop watching the vlogs!!😂😂
what would her being a mom have with her ability to wear a short skirt?
thegoodmuzak He was pulling her leg, as she had allready asked him😜 and then proceeded to remark on her ass being out, when it wasnt, its just teasing (and apreciating his wifes ass and legs!)
Well, just picture your mom wearing short skirts and walking around in a busy NY street, I am pretty sure you wouldn't feel that great about it.....there is an age and time for everything and some day you have to mature up.
I am not implying that a mom should not wear that kind of clothes...its fine if they do it in the house, with family, friends etc....but once you are in public a little bit of decency is expected, there is no reason to make it such a big deal, it just shows frivolity on the part of a mom.....not that i am saying it is slutty or something.
@Chad Thompson yeah right, it's the "ethnics" we women watch out for. Not white men like yourself.
this was the 1st casey video i saw and was hooked.
I realized how much i like his vlogs when i willingly just sat through a ad for almost 3 minutes
