Sometimes all he does is film his day and turn it into a sort of story. Watch how he turns his date with his wife into more of a story by naming the video “Date Night,” then building up to it through the video.
3. His videos have a high production quality.
If you watch any of Neistat’s videos, you’re instantly struck by the production value. They look more like studio-produced videos than an average YouTube upload does.
He also features a variety of shots, often setting up his camera in a random part of New York City so that he can run or skate into the shot, rather than starting in front of the camera. Think about how you can use shot variety and creativity to spice up your videos.
