The first of the series is the HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT video. Casey shares his good news and starts his journey to the Oscars. He explains how Samsung has been wanting to do something special with him but, the right project wasn’t in sight until Samsung sponsored the Oscars. The ideal event comes to light and the perfect partnership was created. Samsung now has the highly popular YouTuber Casey Neistat to show off their latest gadget, a global camera, Gear 360 to Hollywood’s heavy hitters.
The next video FEELING IT!!! showcases Casey in his hotel and playing around in Los Angeles. He meets up with the folks from Samsung and they take a limo ride together heading towards the Oscars for their credential pick-up and a walk through to figure out what Casey can and cannot shoot on Oscar night. Samsung being a sponsor allows him tons of access. Casey brings another perspective to the pre-Oscar event with interesting details and the people on the pre-red carpet. His behind the scenes footage shows how the Oscars’ prep for its big day and all of its final touches for the perfect star-studded event of the year.
The big day, at one time only imaginable, has arrived, CASEY CRASHES THE OSCARS!!! His day starts with Oscar preparations from his glam squad for his Oscar red carpet debut. The Oscar LA beauty routine for him; hair, tuxedo, and the exceptional car waiting ~ a white 1965 Cadillac DeVille convertible. An alluring way to roll down the streets of Hollywood and to make an entrance, thou, an early one. Early happens to be better. The Samsung Gear 360 captures a wide range of details and without the usual bustling presence of an overcrowded red carpet from press, publicists, and Hollywood elites creates an experience that we are along the journey with Casey viewing the finer details while he points out tidbits of information. The most interesting are Casey’s curiosity to venture outside the general expectation. He enters the prohibited areas that other press heads would never be authorized, areas that he, himself feels like an “interloper.”
Casey may be feeling uneasy being surrounded by the most prestigious individuals in Hollywood. However, his fresh approach and Samsung’s Gear 360 creates Oscar viewing to a mote compelling level of experience than the Oscar coverage that we have become so familiar.
