Sometimes you can glean useful filmmaking techniques from the most unsuspecting of places\u2014even the humble vlog.<\/h3>\n

I’ll be honest here. I’ve never really been a fan of “vlogging” (which is a strange, dirty sounding word), and I likely will continue not to be. However, when my friend Sven Pape, a professional film editor\u00a0with an awesome educational YouTube channel, sent me a new video he made about one of the world’s most famous and prolific YouTube stars, I watched and immediately knew it was worth sharing on this site.<\/p>\n

As you might have guessed, the video Sven sent over is all about\u00a0Casey Neistat<\/a>, whose 4.2 million YouTube subscribers make him one of the premier figures in the vlogging genre. And while vlogs are typically boring as all hell in their style and substance, Neistat’s are not. The dude lives an interesting life, and he manages to film and edit it all together in interesting ways.<\/p>\n

And that’s what Sven’s new video is all about, the editing and storytelling techniques that Neistat has been infusing into his videos for years, many of which have come to make up his signature style. Check it out:<\/p>\n
