Less authentic but more engaging. I aspire to make videos as engaging, but I'm not willing to go to these lengths. I value being present with the people in my life more than the videos I create to capture those memories
@@q4shortthis is why i'm trying to find a balance of making a video authentic while also not keeping it feel too out of place to where it's no longer candid.
As a videographer, it's great to see someone explaining the effort that goes into what appears to be a simple sequence of shots: "swap places, land drone, back in car, handheld shot....". Another amazing video, thanks Sam!
I know you talked about case's work put into that sequence but goddamn did you work hard for this video! as a fellow creator, i can tell the amount of work you had to put in to this seemingly simple video. Good job my man
I've been watching Casey's videos for a couple of years now and am trying to make my own content. I feel like your video shows a real appreciation for what he (and all of us) are trying to do as well as underscoring the passion for storytelling we all share. Nice video :-)
Okay, so Casey's sequence is phenomenal, as usual. But...so is yours. I mean, Casey could turn around and analyze you analyzing him and he would be equally blown away. Well done, sir!
As a reminder, Casey has been making videos for nearly 30 years now. A lot of those videos are vlogs of his family and daily life. He built these skills naturally over decades by just doing. While studying him is great and this video helps give tons of perspective for new filmmakers, just remember that Casey has had more years of practice than most people watching this video are old, myself included.
Can I just say that I REALLY appreciate you breaking down these videos? I think most people don’t realize what goes into filming a sequence. By laying it out shot for shot you are helping out so many new creators! Awesome +1 sub
Such a great breakdown, and honestly the powerful truth about the situational reality vs. viewer's reality and it's relationship to authenticity hit me hard. Appreciate the time you took to make this. Great vid!
Dang this is so good... I have done almost exclusively more music tutorial type content and am shifting towards more storytelling around how im creating and releasing 50+ songs this year - and making it into a weekly series, and I've wrestled with how much should I do "naturally" vs how much should I work to truly communicate a story thru medium of FILM MAKING. And I realized after doing three episodes so far more "raw" - that the truth is more like... audiences want the story. And the story is often not really truly FELT through just the single angle, single cam, single thing ... it's almost necessary to create the illusion to properly tell that story in a way that audiences feel. Really cool, and it's gotten my mind racing on how to do this myself better. Watched a few of your videos - looks like you're gonna be crushing it in a short time. Keep it up.
What a great breakdown. Its not easy to tell a story, but knowing the shots you have to break down, and then shooting them all, will most certainly make the experience feel inauthentic, and that you are just an actor playing a part. But the end result is astounding.
I just shared this with my wife, thanks for making it. It is so hard to make movies with your SO and though I don’t do half what Casey did for this one sequence, I have experienced the difference between living in the moment and sharing the moment with others. And he did this every day…
This was so awesome Sam. You don't realize how good the guy is at coverage - takes a seemingly boring lunch trip and hooks us. Thanks for taking the time to put together!
well done, Bru - you are the first person analyzing Casey videos and what an effort - always awed at his video making style - but the way you broke it down and explained the nuances - BRILLIANT !!
Big thumbs up for your breakdown of Casey's video. Your eye for detail and your own production value is outstanding my friend. I did some breakdowns (shot for shot) on paper for some Casey-videos, but the way you turned it in a video yourself is like an artform in itself. Thanks for sharing your insights!!
This videos amazing so glad it popped up on the TL! Now I understand why our vlogs can never look like Casey’s 😂 Id love to pick your brain on creating content!
It is quite astounding to me how few subscribers this channel has. Another fantastic video, and even how you tell the story, of how someone else tells a story is brilliantly done!
At 5:37 he starts with focus on the distant buildings, asks the question, and then snaps to tight focus on her eye. Here on TH-cam I would have considered that an amateur mistake, but when focus snaps in it punctuates her response. There are layers to his videos, hidden behind the scenes, that I never even considered.
I just discovered you randomly after watching one of Casey's videos. I'm not a filmmaker, I'm just a dude who likes Casey's videos. But I, too, appreciated that sequence when I saw it a while back, so I clicked on your video. I wanted to tell you, good sir, that your video was really great. I learned stuff; but more importantly, it was a beautiful movie. Really well done. I watched it multiple times, it was hilarious and heart felt. I'm now a subscriber and am excited to watch more of your channel.
This is awesome. I love all of Casey's content, but never took the time to dive this deep into it. Now I have a whole new appreciation for how much goes into his "simple little" vlogs.
Amazing breakdown Sam. Every time I watch his vlogs I’m like that had to be such a pain switching the shots like that. For a talking head video you did a great job keeping the viewer engaged.
Thank you for digging up the way Casey made his simple story of 'Having Meal with His Wife' become so interesting. Behind the scenes, there are various of hard work in making lots of footage from drone camera, hand-held, back-and-forth deeds......
I saw your max fosh video a while back and really enjoyed it. Haven’t seen anything of yours come up since. This came up on my homepage and I really enjoyed it. I’d watch this type of video from you every upload. Keep up the great work pal👍🏼🎸
I love this breakdown as I see his videos and always ponder the amount of back and forward, setting up and pickin gup of cameras. What a lot of work but what amazing results.
This video should have gone viral. Congrats. Ur video and ur performance and ur editing skill is gooood like as channels with over 1 million subs. I'm lucky I saw ur channel. Immediately subscribed.
Somewhere out there, there'll be a filmmaker discussing just where the cameras were of you creating this video. I know you're talking about Casey's effort he puts into his videos, but man, the effort gone into THIS video talking about the effort going into Casey's video, is insane. Mad props to you! N x
This was on my recommended, great job on it. I remember seeing Casey's video as soon as it was dropped and I immediately noticed the intricacies of the shot sequence as well. It's what makes him so masterful
Looks like this is your breakthrough video. I can’t wait to come back in a week and see how many views you have. As I’m typing this you’re at 9500 views in just 6 days. This is great work. Well done.
I remember seeing this video from Casey and being blown away by all the work he put into it! Especially the drone shots. Great job of breaking it down!
Man you got a subscriber. The best part is the ending that you explained about us filmmaker. The viewers perspective is so different sometimes i feel very sad.
You did such a great job laying this video out! Explaining the depth that goes into his videos with the depth that went into this one. All the b-roll parody skits were top notch! Another sub for you 👏
2 Important takeaways... 1) Get plenty of B-Roll but only if it helps move the story forward - or just shoot a lot of stuff and decide later. 2) Don't worry about a few technical mistakes (most people will never see it) like the driver switch, as long as the story is served. It's all about the story.
ok i haven't seen your other videos... but this is the kind of video that gets me, makes me smile and say "holy shit what a fucking good video man", kudos to you sam, what an amazing job.
I watched this a few days ago and had to back because I could not understand why some of the shots had a different vehicle. 3:54 and 4:30 I didn't realize that was your recreation. I was so confused!
I feel this too when I create my videos. In the effort to tell an authentic story in a video, I have to create it in an unauthentic way. But it doesn’t change the fact that this story best describes how it typically happens in an authentic way in my life.
Dude, I love these videos! It really helps you to see how the shots were planned and what the thought process was. It's really helped me to think more about how to set up my own shots. Thanks!
Your effort making this video was the kind of effort Casey put into his video and ultimately the reason why, consciously or not, everyone loves him. Great video, great analysis, keep going
First off, really enjoyed your breakdown, about to watch the Life of Riza one now. I was a slave to the Casey vlogs but I'm starting to realise he was ACTUALLY making 'films', not just a vlog. From the outside, I can't imagine being Candice and having to do all these steps, just to grab food
Turns out the best way to tell a story that feels authentic is to actually make the experience a little less authentic
And now you know why candace looks so over it, in the vlog during the daily days.
Less authentic but more engaging. I aspire to make videos as engaging, but I'm not willing to go to these lengths. I value being present with the people in my life more than the videos I create to capture those memories
@@q4shortthis is why i'm trying to find a balance of making a video authentic while also not keeping it feel too out of place to where it's no longer candid.
well said bro, its all about balance...casey is casey, we can learn from him buy always adapt it to your own style@@paytonsample
Can you IMAGINE convincing your wife to do all that for the sequene??? Candice is a saint
no wonder she always looked tired of his shit everytime.. 😭
My husband would 💯 not participate in that set up. He would be hangry and say,” I just want to get my sandwich.”
She also enjoys the money!
This is the biz.
My wife hates it if I just show up with a camera, let alone turn it on and point it in her direction.
As a videographer, it's great to see someone explaining the effort that goes into what appears to be a simple sequence of shots: "swap places, land drone, back in car, handheld shot....". Another amazing video, thanks Sam!
I know you talked about case's work put into that sequence but goddamn did you work hard for this video! as a fellow creator, i can tell the amount of work you had to put in to this seemingly simple video. Good job my man
Excellent point. My thoughts exactly. Thanks Sam.
This video was amazing! Thanks for making it!
brilliant in deed. Thank you!!
Like seeing The 🧙♂️ of Oz for the first time.
Nicely done. I need my wife to watch this so she can get a little taste of what is required for great storytelling/videos.
I've been watching Casey's videos for a couple of years now and am trying to make my own content. I feel like your video shows a real appreciation for what he (and all of us) are trying to do as well as underscoring the passion for storytelling we all share. Nice video :-)
Thanks Luc - that's great, keep at it!
Okay, so Casey's sequence is phenomenal, as usual. But...so is yours. I mean, Casey could turn around and analyze you analyzing him and he would be equally blown away. Well done, sir!
So good Sam
Woww 🔥this guys know

Watched a few of your videos - looks like you're gonna be crushing it in a short time. Keep it up.
The quaility of this video is what you expect from a large channel! Keep up the great work!!!
Wow you're a good storyteller. Hope to hear more from you! It's only a matter of time until you blow up with this level of quality
What a great breakdown. Its not easy to tell a story, but knowing the shots you have to break down, and then shooting them all, will most certainly make the experience feel inauthentic, and that you are just an actor playing a part. But the end result is astounding.
I've tried to explain this mindset to people bc i vlogged for like 100 days straight. glad im not the only one that feels this way! GREAT video man!
And was vlogging for 100 days worth it, in terms of your subscriber count and interaction on your channel?
I just shared this with my wife, thanks for making it. It is so hard to make movies with your SO and though I don’t do half what Casey did for this one sequence, I have experienced the difference between living in the moment and sharing the moment with others. And he did this every day…
I feel like your recreation and attention to detail of those shots are the genius
This was so awesome Sam. You don't realize how good the guy is at coverage - takes a seemingly boring lunch trip and hooks us. Thanks for taking the time to put together!
One of the best videos I’ve seen on TH-cam. Keep it up man, your channel is about to EXPLODE
well done, Bru - you are the first person analyzing Casey videos and what an effort - always awed at his video making style - but the way you broke it down and explained the nuances - BRILLIANT !!
Big thumbs up for your breakdown of Casey's video. Your eye for detail and your own production value is outstanding my friend. I did some breakdowns (shot for shot) on paper for some Casey-videos, but the way you turned it in a video yourself is like an artform in itself. Thanks for sharing your insights!!
your breakdown is amazing. Subscribed!
this breakdown is just too good .. the way you actually enacted it .. keep up the good work .. looking forward to more of it
Sam this is the great job to showing us how something that looks so simple can actually be so complex. THX a lot
i personally think casey is the king of storytelling (on youtube) as far as i'm concerned. great breakdown, love to see what the future brings :)
This videos amazing so glad it popped up on the TL!
Now I understand why our vlogs can never look like Casey’s 😂 Id love to pick your brain on creating content!
this is so huge. im so beyond proud of yall. so glad i got to be a part of this
Holy cow, I don't know who you are but thank you for showing up in my feed, this is an amazing breakdown video. I'm here for more of this!
Man it was great! I like it so much. It's a wonderful breakdown. Thank you!
Really enjoy these! Telling stories about storytelling, that's 2nd order meta genius. Keep it up dude, your hard work shows too!
Amazing breakdown, and a very well produced video. Well done 💪💪
Brilliant. It was a real pleasure watching all your hard work .
Thanks 😮😊
I need to rewatch his 🧡
Holy cow, how do you only have 1.9k subscribers? This video was amazing.
It is quite astounding to me how few subscribers this channel has. Another fantastic video, and even how you tell the story, of how someone else tells a story is brilliantly done!
Thanks Nick - hopefully you're super early!
Exactly my thought. This video was brilliant

Amazing, Thank you so much for sharing mojoro!
So impressive how you dissected each shot. Thank you!!
WOW.. What an incredible video. Your breakdown gave me chills. You created a story about creating a story and it was very meaningful. Thank you.
Right? I felt the same way. Fantastic video.
This is awesome. I love all of Casey's content, but never took the time to dive this deep into it. Now I have a whole new appreciation for how much goes into his "simple little" vlogs.
so much effort put into this, just like a csey vlog! legend!
Amazing breakdown Sam. Every time I watch his vlogs I’m like that had to be such a pain switching the shots like that. For a talking head video you did a great job keeping the viewer engaged.

I love this breakdown as I see his videos and always ponder the amount of back and forward, setting up and pickin gup of cameras. What a lot of work but what amazing results.
Man! this breakdown is good! I can't imagine asking candice to do this on a lot of his videos. thanks for this
man i do breakdown as well but none of them is good as this one. great job brother
This video should have gone viral.
Congrats. Ur video and ur performance and ur editing skill is gooood like as channels with over 1 million subs.

This is incredible. I mean, the work that went into this video is actually unfathomable. Well done friend 👏
Watch many Casey 's vlog, but this is first time I know how much effort to make a vlog.
Amazing video. Just subbed 👍
That bit at 2:21 got a good chuckle out of me! Subscribed!
Wow, that was really good man! Gripping, funny, informative, just all around entertaining! Happy to sub 😄

Just found your video - loved your breakdown, energy and your studio filming - I felt like I was there with you! Great stuff- subscribed!
Bro you literally changed my perception of making videos !!
Hats off to you amazing video !!
Fantastic video! As a small youtuber it’s great to see things like this broken down, I also think Casey is a genius when it comes to story
This was awesome and will probably try this formula , especially the move in and out of the camera.
Great job man!
well done on the breakdown ! What an amazing job you've done yourself making this breakdown entertaining to watch !
Bruh, just amazing! Editing, pacing, music. Phenomenal job! Thanks!
This is Amazing! Beautifully explained :)
I've watched this video several times Sam. You do such a great job explaining it. Very entertaining. Thanks.
Brilliant breakdown, Rarely does anyone truly appreciate what goes into a 5 minute video especially with this level of detail and thought.
What a great 'Case' study on his video making process, probably one of the best I've seen. Thank you!
PS: You're great at this.
I remember seeing this video from Casey and being blown away by all the work he put into it! Especially the drone shots. Great job of breaking it down!

Dude... this was sick. Would love more of these! 🙌🏼

How are you still below 10k subscribers man? With this kinda videos you should blow up already.
Excellent breakdown, it really starts to show how hard vlogging really is!
This deserve so much more views! Awesome job man, really good work!
Your editing breakdown is nuts and made me subscribe 😍🤯
I find myself analyzing every scene of videos as well now for inspiration. This was an awesome breakdown with great reenactments!
I watched this a few days ago and had to back because I could not understand why some of the shots had a different vehicle. 3:54 and 4:30 I didn't realize that was your recreation. I was so confused!
this is good feedback, need to make more clear !
I feel this too when I create my videos. In the effort to tell an authentic story in a video, I have to create it in an unauthentic way. But it doesn’t change the fact that this story best describes how it typically happens in an authentic way in my life.
This is everything I want in a TH-cam video! YES!! I’ve always wanted to see his videos slowed down/analyzed like this! -Cody
Great video, it really makes you appreciate all the work that goes behind the scenes and often goes unnoticed.
Great video explaining Casey’s storytelling while flexing your storytelling skills
Amazing video breakdown. I need this for all of his videos. Would watch every single one.
Wow!!! crazy video analysis!!
This was AWESOME, please we need more videos like this 🧡
Dude, I love these videos! It really helps you to see how the shots were planned and what the thought process was. It's really helped me to think more about how to set up my own shots. Thanks!
This video was so well done, Sam! You just earned a new subscriber.
such an underrated video. Great insight you have!
Amazing analysis! I always look for these things in Casey's videos.. This detailed version was so good!
this was the best casey`s sequence breakdown i`ve ever seen... kudos from brazil my friend
Your effort making this video was the kind of effort Casey put into his video and ultimately the reason why, consciously or not, everyone loves him. Great video, great analysis, keep going
Thanks Chris!
This breakdown is amazing, you've earned yourself a new subscriber!
I just discovered your channel, this was an amazing video analysis, congrats man!👍🏽
Bravo! Really entertaining video.
This was such a great video - I think about these things constantly when creating content! Appreciate the breakdown
Great breakdown! Your shots, delivery, and music are quite engaging.
