curious capability
I'm definitely curious about what the new iPhone and it's video editing capabilities will lend to that.
thinking insane care
I don't really care for or that much about Chat Roulette. I think the phenomenon of it and like the first wow factor which was so absolutely insane about Chat Roulette. Certainly that's what inspired me to make that movie but I think that's true for everyone that used Chat Roulette which is why it was such an explosion. Now it's just kind of disappeared. You don't hear much about it anymore.
kind film
That for me is what intrigues me the most about feature films. It's not like the little kind of esoteric projects that you and your friends get but how do you make something that has a universal appeal. Those are the movies that intrigue me the most.
people serious
I saw 'Avatar' in the theater eight times and I got booed for it. I'm totally serious. First of all, I love that movie. I totally love that movie, but nothing intrigues me more than the fact that it made like $2.7 billion and so how many people had to see it for it to make that much money.
art trying tough
Just trying to live our lives and figuring out how to turn that into art. It's tough to say that the art was premeditated. Instead you just focused on living. 'How do I want to live? What do I want to do?' Then you figured out how to make that into art.
fun sat
The approach to that movie wasn't, 'Lets make this movie about Amsterdam and maple syrup.' The concept was, 'Lets go to Amsterdam. Amsterdam is fun.' So we flew to Amsterdam with our cameras and we saw what happened and then we got back and we sat down and we said, 'What's the movie here.' That's when we realized that the movie was 'The Maple Syrup Saga'.
ideas execution matter
It's the execution that matters, never the idea.
doing-you ifs
If you're doing what everyone else is doing, you're doing it wrong.
asked battery best bet buy explained ipod manhattan offer replace store took
I took my iPod to the Apple store here in Manhattan and asked them to replace the battery. And they explained to me that Apple does not offer a service to replace the battery in the iPod, and my best bet was to buy a new iPod.
amazingly awesome content frequently pieces precious
I'm not able to make amazingly perfect, precious pieces of content, but I get to make awesome spontaneous content that's frequently ephemeral.
iphone
I am so disappointed in Apple. I don't even use an iPhone anymore. Their marketing sucks. It's embarrassing. It's just garbage.
deal filmmaker
I don't know of a more noble, a bigger deal as a filmmaker than to be a YouTube filmmaker.
compulsion life public share
I'm not an exhibitionist; I don't have a compulsion to share the ins and outs of my daily life with a public audience.
embrace fantastic love people youtube
I love seeing the way in which young people embrace video, and the YouTube vlogger is a fantastic phenomenon.
