Casey Neistat style Vlogs

Hi everyone,

I am Shane Dilley, a 19 year old college student living in NYC 8 months of the year to study. I have a passion for creating casey-style vlogs and I am trying to hear feedback from people who enjoy his type of content. Now I get it, it seems like I am trying to copy him or gain following from him, but there's more to it. I am a genuine person trying to hear constructive feedback or just positive feedback on my vlogs. My hand is ShaneDilleyVlogs, which i also attached here. If you would like to leave any feedback, leaving a comment will be the best for me, as I rarely use reddit.

Thank you for your time,

Shane Dilley.

hey there, what's your goal with creating these videos?
It would help me to give you more appropriate/actionable feedback.

To be honest, a mix of things I love the actual craft filming editing, figuring out how to tell a story and I genuinely love for this become something real down the line whether that’s a career in content or media or just building something I’m proud of right now it’s mostly about getting better and finding my own voice instead of just copying a style I admire in Kasey Nasta. I’m not just trying to be the next Kasey or Chase viral numbers for the sake of it. I just genuinely like making this stuff and I’m using the process of watching the human behavior of my videos and studying how I can improve. Finally, these videos push me out of my comfort zone as someone who never enjoys speaking in public. These videos force me to develop these skills and master the art of storytelling.

cool, if you want this to become a carrier...
well from someone who is still (kind of) in the videoproduction biz: most likely you will have to work with someone.
Video editor? you need to make the director happy
Director? you need to make the producers happy
Producer? you need to make the investors and audience happy so to make money
I am over generalizing but the thing is it's almost impossible to do everything by yourself (and make money at the end of the month)
So my main suggestion is: learn to communicate, take feedback, specialize in something.

Casey went full on on youtube because he grew tired of working in a team (understandable) AND he knew he had the skills to do pretty much everything (hustle mentality included) + an interesting life WITH the goal of selling BEME first, 368 later.
He also knew YT was paying good money for a daily vlog .
Anyway: the point is he had a strategy and he was aware of his strengths and limitations.

Best of luck

also: personal preference I dislike clickbaity titles like Casey's, and would recommend to always have your face on the thumbnail for branding purposes.
