He is basically one of those types you can throw into
any situation and something interesting will come of it. Ideas
like “davidjr.com goes to Sundance” or “davidjr.com test drives
at Daytona” etc are what get me excited. What’s unique about his
content is his somewhat unassuming first person pov that makes
the viewer feel like they, themselves, are along for the ride.

I would just like to say, that this is, without a doubt, the greatest band documentary I have ever seen. Period.

One man made this amazing video from this week's screening of 39 Steps—not for the demophobic!

On the strength of your Michael Cera interview...
I think your idiot savant approach to interviewing is Kaufman level genius. If I want bland, predictable interview regurgitation, I'll watch ACCESS Hollywood. But you, my friend, are asking the unexpected and INTELLIGENT people can adapt. All these drones challenging your way are simply afraid of change. I applaud you and your efforts to get us and keep us out of the box.

These vids are good, you just need a hook. Unfortunately, it seems the more successful youtubers use hooks like thumbnails with boobs or controversial video names. Whatever works? =D You can always stop the tricks once the views come in. heh

David, I've watched your videos for ages, but I've always felt like I didn't know what your videos were, what you did, who you were etc, you just seem to end up at events etc and film it. You should do more vlogs explaining who you are what you do etc, where you're going soon, who you might be interviewing, that's my advice anyway.

Your videos are hilarious!

I like the sensititivty shown to the subjects, our fellow New Yorkers. What a deep respect the cinematographer has for their souls, bared for all to witness on this almost sultry evening. Important!

You are so funny! I listen all the first episode and tomorrow,
I'll listen the second, and etc.etc.etc.! I'm from Canada and
I ain't got the chance to see you on MTV so I'll look at you here!

What an absolutely fascinating video, truly newsworthy. The camera angles, and unqiue use of the lighting truely transport the viewer to Bryant Park giving him a sense of what it was like to be there...Never really seen anything quite like it. Epic.
