Loud alarm in the grocery store. TGIM. When Casey first moved to New York, he moved into an apartment with 2 or 3 other girls. He did experimental videos with candles. He was forced to leave because they were afraid he puts the apartment on fire. He then had his first laptop and was able to work from anywhere. In 2005 he got the studio, a space dedicated to work. The same place than today. In 2007 they got the budget from HBO for the Neistat Brothers show so they were able to remove a wall and take advantage of the other studio next tho them. It was a topic in the first episode of their HBO show. Footage of that time when they destroy the junction wall. Painting, lighting. They remodeled the whole place in 5 days working 24 hours a day. In 2008 he got a new skateboard, the first one since he was 14. The whole part of the studio in on the same level, perfect for skateboarding. Then he put a separation wall. Then a lot of iterations to make the space the most usable depending on what they had to do. To maximize the efficiency. Perfection is essential to productivity. He was thinking for a long time about redoing the whole space. He explains how the space is organized and what is wrong, and with a drawing shows what he wants to do. 30% is good, 70% is wrong. Studio redux 2016. Current vs Future. The back of the studio, which is a desk with editing stations is under used because he wants to be in natural light. Storage should go at the back. He wants a L desk under the window and where the boosted board actually are. By saying it on video it obliges him to do it. Normally he would have started right away and done it fast but he lacks the resources. Construction starts first thing tomorrow. At night back home. He explains that a friend said him: just make a decision. It will be the right decision, you will make it right. It applies both for movie apartment and remodeling the studio. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FSXw-Ed6pUA
