    "how much of your creativity are you willing to abandon for more views" :glasses-purple-yellow-diamond:
  • I worked for Dan as an editor for 7 months and even though it was tough and incredibly hard work and sometimes even painful- it elevated my editing and work ethic by a huge amount. Thanks Dan and well done to the team behind him. This podcast doesn't even come close to explaining how hard Dan and his team work on this stuff.

    Just so you guys know, I often watch the first few minutes of your videos as soon as I see them on YouTube, but watch the remaining part later when I have time. Don't mistake "not finishing" stats as lack of interest. In my case (and others, too, I imagine), it's an indication of the value of your content.

    I learned about Dan during his time with Casey. His talent was obvious even then. It's so neat to see this amazing update and that he is working for such a noble cause. Having such a talented filmmaker will be such a huge benefit. Funny thing, this wasn't really a how-to video, yet it was a master class in story telling, purposeful filming, editing, music, and composition. Loved it.
  • @TheSaiyan
    oh man I have not seen Dan since he was hanging out with Casey back in like 2016 or something, really great to see him succeed 🔥
  • @Chef-donkey

    MAN I love the edit breakdowns from these creators!!
  • @NathanMcMasters
    I love how every time Hayden mentions Logan, the slapping clip is always always included in the b roll. It’s got to be his favorite piece of footage of all time 😂
  • @TheCebulon
    I remember Dan from Casey. Never knew he works for Mr Beast.
  • @Copywritingcom
    I've followed Dan for years... he is an awesome human being (and a genius at making videos). This is probably my favorite episode of this podcast yet. 😀

  • @quintenclips
    Great to see Dan on the show. I think Casey and Jimmy are doing different types of things and one can learn a lot about different kinds of cinematic YouTube. Can you get the Beta-Squad or NDL-Editor some time this year? I think they are also producing some really cinematic vibes ;)
