Nov 04, 2015 Aladdin Went Viral
This past Halloween Jesse Wellens of PrankvsPrank and Casey Neistat put out a video that was an instant viral video. A simple video that had Jesse dressed as Aladdin flying around the city on what looked like a magic carpet. Days later it has over 8 million views. If you haven’t seen it watch it below.
What made this viral video so interesting is also the support from Casey’s side. If you follow his vlog, you basically went along for the ride. All the way back to him prepping the whole thing. Seen on his vlog on October 16th…
And at the same time as the Aladdin video release, the behind the scene also came out…
Finally the follow-up to the madness with a Q&A…
I loved witnessing the process and following the path to the surprise. Behind the scenes footage can be a great way to promote the final product, just put in the extra effort. Casey Neistat documents his daily doings so it wasn’t any extra work for him.
