In the thread "I'm Casey Neistat, co-founder of Beme and a YouTuber — AMA!".

> my filmmaking now is made up mostly of the stuff that happens in-between the action.  it's lifes little moments that i love to capture and share.  when i'm out i usually have a 70d in my right hand, camera on with my thumb over the record button.  this enables me to capture moments that are long gone by the time i wouldve had the xl1 out of it.s bag.

Replying to a redditor:

> Dear Casey, Question about RUNNING: How did you progress into running more and more miles each time? How did you make your runs longer? Thanks, huge fan!

> I always give the same advice here.  Focus on time.  Minutes spent running.  If you can run for 5 minutes without a break then start there.  Push to ten, then 20 and so on.  When running an hour feels easy buy a watch and pay attention to distance and speed.  Good luck!!!

Replying to a redditor:

> Of all the questions I can ask.. I've noticed that instead of waving, you open and close your hands. Is there some story behind this, or is it something you've always done? (Oh and side note, Your vlogs are amazing, keep doing your great work!)

> hahahaa!!  you have no idea how many peopl have asked me that.  i started doing that because when you wave quickly infront of the camera when shooting at 24fps it looks really strange so opening and closing your hand was a way to wave without so much movement.
