Dan I knew you were epically talented from the moment Ben first had you in the vlogs. I always find myself checking your channel for a new upload, your style is in its own genre, keep up the siiiick content bru! Ps thanks for keeping Casey alive near shark island, true bromance😂
"If I cant be honest and authentic on camera and with my audience then whats the point of doing all of this, because then I am sharing a caricature of myself and not who I honestly am" - Casey Neistat 2018 most real thing ive heard all day
I’m so sorry... I’m sorry for discovering your channel just now... I know it’s in time but... your work is so inspiring and amazing that it makes me feel sorry for my self for not having found you earlier. 🙏💪🏻 Thank you
Amazing vid as always. I think one of the things that's so great about Casey is that while I'm sure luck plays a part, he clearly works his ass off for what he has, and the joy he's produced for myself and many other people is undeniable.
This is what I love about TH-cam. The total ability to share/expose and showcase other creators or whatever, is amazing. I'm almost addicted to discovering new artists
Going back to the four years ago category to find more stories of Dan and Casey making films together. Trying to find what you love, your calling is essentially to find the right media for you to express yourself so that while you’re doing it, you can become the happiest and most fulfilling person on earth. Thank you Dan for your excellent job of bringing this insight to your audience through your self-expressive filming.
casey is so incredible. He is so humble. For me he is the definition of hard work and consitency. He says he got lucky but we all know he didnt. He worked his f* ass of and he probably will keep doing that forever. #legend
You weren’t afforded those opportunities. You went out and fought for them. Seems like no ones handed you them. Looks like you work ass off and love it. Mad respect.
This guys an amazing editor I wish I could edit like this. You can learn everything about the software but you have to be creative to be as good as this
Came here after Casey's 368 "What's Next" Intro video, and now I know what that "I've got a mission" call at 0:34 was all about! Even before the first take releases tomorrow morning 8am EST! Happy and excited and look forward to a great colab!
Beautiful. One question that I think will have different answers with every passing year. But finally comes down to one thing. Asking yourself if you've done enough, done what you love. Beautiful Dan and casey! And thank you!
Thank you !! I asked myself the same question while I was watching because I felt bad for a couple of years now. I just did not know what kind of person I was and moreover I don't get good grades at uni which caused a loss of confidence. So I asked myself do I even like me ? The answer is YES. I like the way I am kind to the other people, the fact that I always want to share, I never look down to people, I motivate people in every hardship, I just wanna help. I realized that I was not feeling bad because of myself but because of the others. A lot of people are losing their sense of humanity, they judge, they tear people down. It explains why I was not feeling at the right place. The thing is that I am in the right place and I will always be "the change I want to see in the world". I love myself.
Such a nice video, I feel like I hate myself so many times and wish that I wasn't me... I deleted 500 of my videos cause I didn't like how I talk or look on them but the truth is even that "bad" has taught me so much, going to university, social life, youtube, this that a lot of times I get lost... I don't know if what I am saying even makes sense lol, sometimes want to give up and sometimes it feels like I am able to do anything :/ Turning 20 this year makes me feel like I've wasted so much time doing things I don't even care about!
DonatIbraimi dude. You are turning 20! Not 70. Your life is only starting now. Your 20’s should be the best decade of your life. Enjoy it. Don’t regret it. :) 🤙🏽
Donat - you are turning 20 like Lindie says below - take it easy on yourself! Just enjoy what comes your way and frankly who cares what others think? I've been around on this planet for a long time and seriously, trust me on this, your life will change in so many ways from year to year - sometimes day to day that what others think or do will make no difference. And, a little secret - people care about themselves way more than others. So, go forth, video yourself, post it, learn new things and never be afraid to explore.
You had me thinking about that question. I've only asked myself if I'm happy but never if I like myself or who I am. Thanks for giving me something to think and write about tonight.
Sir, you are an amazing talent and i am subbed now. Yes, it's because Casey introduced me to you, but you are the reason I stayed. As for Casey, I draw my inspiration from him. He said he's the luckiest guy in the world. That comes from hard work and it's not something he takes for granted. Respect and admiration is what I have for the guy. Thank you for being a creator and sharing what you do. I certainly look forward to more. Have a great day!
Casey's energy is seriously next level. Back when he was putting out daily vlogs non-stop, I could feel his intensity through the screen, which would in turn propel myself into action everyday. Anyway.. awesome video, Dan. Been waiting for something new from you since your "FIRST VLOG" lolol.
your not lucky casey, you deserve the life. you worked hard my friend! I hate when people say "Oh, He's Lucky.." no no, I don't buy into that, you DESERVE everything you get and the life you live, so don't tell yourself, hey I'm lucky to live this life, because you EARNT IT!
Dan's filming and editing style are top notch. Casey's honest response is encouraging. While I hoped for more insight, I get that isn't this video's objective. We all know there is more to this video title and available from the subject that is provided, but as a piece of art/video, this was satisfying. Dan - explore depth. Casey - explore sharing how you maximize each day.
Dan cool video man. Great question. I really liked this video man, it hit some awesome notes of life with a fantastic casey neistat baseline of love the work, just love life. Again probably the perfect TH-cam video. Thanks, Rob.
Casey brought me here but your talent keeps me coming back! Your editing and filmmaking skills are obviously, but your storytelling skills are the true talent. Cheers Bru
Bro. Just wanted to take the opportunity to tell you you have inspired me to stop "dreaming" and start doing. Been sitting on a great idea for an app / business for a while now. Waiting for the right time. Waiting for the budget. Waiting for the right people to work with. The waiting is over and I'm going for it. Keep being you and smashing it bro! Love your work. #proudlySouthAfrican
I have seen a lot of movies/vlogs about people but man, this is one of the greatest. You Sir are going to be very successful. Thank you for this awesome video, I was really happy watching it
"Envy the country that has heroes, huh? I say pity the country that needs them." Be your own 'Casey Neistat'. Watching' this was awesome, but I its a reminder to me I need to get off my ass and do more, work harder and live a life worth living. Excellent work Dan, I like your style. Peace.
i couldn't ask a better question to a guy like Casey cuz it provides me with an answer that could probably motivate me in the darkest hour. THANKS MAN!!! :)
hey dan, i’ve been a fan of your videos for years. your unique style of editing, your ideas and everything you do is so inspiring to me. seeing you with casey is waaay too awesome! can’t wait to see more work from you this year, thanks for inspiring many of us x
I think that's a big reason why Casey is so special. He's managed to be himself and not let the people around him stop him from doing so. It can be incredibly hard to do. Always thinking, what will 'they' think if I do this? Even for me, who feels like I'm pretty good at not caring too much, still thinks about what people think of me, FREQUENTLY. So yeah, Casey is very inspirational that way. Like putting his glasses on over his eye mask for a fun shot. Most people would never think of that because it's kind of weird, but Casey didn't give a sh*t and now that's just one more thing people love to see in his videos. Also, Dan, you're a legend. Been a sub for a long time and stoked so see this video getting so much attention. But how did your last video about the sound guy have less than 10k views (probably until yesterday)?! Always such amazing story telling and cinematography DanTheDirector! Stoked to see more regularly from you dude!
0:47 Hey! You totally stole my shoes. A southafrican shouldn't do that to another one! Shame on you. PS: vir almal wat nie n grappie verstaan nie, I'm just kidding. Great video Dan 👌🏼 just awesome. You should get way more attention on TH-cam and I'm sure you will in future
Did he answer the question? He's happy with the success his life has bought him but does he like the person he is? Deep questions Dan but I'm not sure he gave an answer. 🤔
Casey lives such an extravagant lifestyle that is so admirable but I know he makes a lot of sacrifices and works a lot harder than it sometimes appears to his audience. I wish I had half the amount of determination and drive as he does. I want to do more with my life but just basic things can be difficult with crippling anxiety. I know it sounds like an excuse and ultimately Casey is a one of a kind. There are few ppl who can keep up with him and far fewer who could ever attempt to replicate him.
He's living the perfect life through the hard work he put into it, just wish I did the same when I was the young kid I was..... But.... If I changed my past I might not have the family I have now...... We're all living our perfect life..
The edit in the vid is beyond current, I see it as the next trend. I believe that in the 20....20's content creation will have a viewer expectation to be at this level. In traditional content I find my mind wanders and I click ahead in a video to catch up the video to my thought......In this content style my thoughts have to catch up to the video, I can't click ahead because the content is ahead of me.....I keep focused on the vid. Before I know it, 10 minutes flew by and I received the entire message. And , just to make sure I got it all, I watch it again. Awesome!
Oh man! Your style and editing is ON POINT! This gave me goosebumps! Not just for Casey's perspectives but the overall production. You got yourself a sub!
This will go viral. Your style of editing is very good, im just a small youtube creator but even though i am very small i will not stop at nothing. Casey has inspired me to never stop. Always chase your dreams. You will achieve them if you just WORK HARD.
Never heard how much would this guy be in Casey's videos but somehow I just figurd out your channel and absolutely dope, keep doing it up! U both are good at this af!
Found you from Casey's Channel and I'm loving what I'm seeing. I love your style and discovering your channel is one of the best things to happen today.
Epic feedback. Stoked you guys are digging this style! Casey and I have some more epic projects in the near future. Good to be back on the tube!!
smashed it Dan, we were doing the first half of your video about 2 months ago! Cape Town rocks!!!
Dan I knew you were epically talented from the moment Ben first had you in the vlogs. I always find myself checking your channel for a new upload, your style is in its own genre, keep up the siiiick content bru! Ps thanks for keeping Casey alive near shark island, true bromance😂
Welcome back ;-)
Just gained yourself a sub, loving your style! First vlog is awesome, keep them coming bud.

Ditto
The young filmmaking community is gonna crush 2018. :)
Same!
Yay, good to see you here Celina!
Haha hi Celina
This video should be seen millions times. It's not a question of being viral. It's the roots of who is Casey. Well done Dan. Work hard. Be brave.
"If I cant be honest and authentic on camera and with my audience then whats the point of doing all of this, because then I am sharing a caricature of myself and not who I honestly am" - Casey Neistat 2018 most real thing ive heard all day
Everything this man says is pure gold! Great job!
Dan this is why you’re one of my favorite directors. I miss your videos. Please make more.
Probably the most real response I feel like I've seen from a Casey interview -- well done!
Great video man!
Nice seeing you here. I've been digging your videos too!
Love your stuff Chris!
Chris Ramsay Chris! Love your videos!! Just starting to learn cardistry from your channel!
Oh hi there really like your work
I’m so sorry... I’m sorry for discovering your channel just now... I know it’s in time but... your work is so inspiring and amazing that it makes me feel sorry for my self for not having found you earlier. 🙏💪🏻 Thank you
Amazing vid as always. I think one of the things that's so great about Casey is that while I'm sure luck plays a part, he clearly works his ass off for what he has, and the joy he's produced for myself and many other people is undeniable.
This is what I love about TH-cam. The total ability to share/expose and showcase other creators or whatever, is amazing. I'm almost addicted to discovering new artists
The amount of effort for this 3 minute video is impressive. You do great work.

Thank you Dan for your excellent job of bringing this insight to your audience through your self-expressive filming.
Such a beautiful film. I’ve watched numerous times - always makes me overwhelmed with inspiration. Thank you, Dan.
I think that is why Casey is so good on youtube he seems so honest and genuine I think that is why he is so likeable.
casey is so incredible. He is so humble. For me he is the definition of hard work and consitency. He says he got lucky but we all know he didnt. He worked his f* ass of and he probably will keep doing that forever. #legend
You weren’t afforded those opportunities. You went out and fought for them. Seems like no ones handed you them. Looks like you work ass off and love it. Mad respect.
This guys an amazing editor I wish I could edit like this.
You can learn everything about the software but you have to be creative to be as good as this
so true
💯 true man, I just wonder how he thinks about those weired morgt
“Work hard and be brave” Words to live by
I came straight from Casey's Vlog and subbed to stay :)
mee too !!
same
yup
Me too!
The beginning of a BEAUTIFUL FRIENDSHIP!!!!!
Came here after Casey's 368 "What's Next" Intro video, and now I know what that "I've got a mission" call at 0:34 was all about! Even before the first take releases tomorrow morning 8am EST! Happy and excited and look forward to a great colab!
NICE EDIT. really liked the lighting during the interview. the coloring. EVERYTHING. very well made
0:26 to 1:05 - the way you produced that bit is amazing, if you keep making films with similar style you will become huge. keep it up Dan.
Dammmm cinematography on point ,, got a lot to learn from this
Beautiful. One question that I think will have different answers with every passing year. But finally comes down to one thing. Asking yourself if you've done enough, done what you love. Beautiful Dan and casey! And thank you!
Great to see two of my biggest inspirations working together. Every time I hear Casey talk it just makes me want to make more films!
Thank you !! I asked myself the same question while I was watching because I felt bad for a couple of years now. I just did not know what kind of person I was and moreover I don't get good grades at uni which caused a loss of confidence. So I asked myself do I even like me ? The answer is YES.

It explains why I was not feeling at the right place. The thing is that I am in the right place and I will always be "the change I want to see in the world".
I love myself.
this is beautiful, the edit the music choice the message great video bro, thank you
And that's what separates the GOOD from the GREATS. Not viewing talent such as Dan as a threat. Thank you Casey for showing us how it's done.
Such a nice video, I feel like I hate myself so many times and wish that I wasn't me... I deleted 500 of my videos cause I didn't like how I talk or look on them but the truth is even that "bad" has taught me so much, going to university, social life, youtube, this that a lot of times I get lost...

If someone out there understands what I am saying please tell me lol
DonatIbraimi
DonatIbraimi dude. You are turning 20! Not 70. Your life is only starting now. Your 20’s should be the best decade of your life. Enjoy it. Don’t regret it. :) 🤙🏽
Lindie de Swardt thank you so much, really inspiring, have a great time :)
Donat - you are turning 20 like Lindie says below - take it easy on yourself! Just enjoy what comes your way and frankly who cares what others think?

Duuuuuuuude... stop man! your editing is smooth AF! I can't handle it, it's too good. Keep on going tho! Much Love ❤
Casey revolutionised movie making in a way nobody has done. Dan has an even better style. Dan keep it up
Sir, you are an amazing talent and i am subbed now. Yes, it's because Casey introduced me to you, but you are the reason I stayed. As for Casey, I draw my inspiration from him.

Great video Dan, would've hung around for 10 more minutes of it. Great work!
It’s amazing what you can do in 5 months, so psyched to keep seeing what you share
casey repping that teddy fresh
I’m really glad this video showed up in my recommendations. This is fantastic storytelling in such a short time frame. I love it!
You are my favorite man haha too funny I don't know how you don't have a million + subs you are the most underrated youtuber!
So stoked to see Capetonians doing great work and collaborating with people from other countries! Keep up the good work Dan :)
That's a really smart question to ask. Love this video.
0:34 That montage is on point! Great film and interview. You both are an inspiration!
Great video Dan! It's also an interesting question to ask ourselves!
I love how Casey helps support & links to his friend's channels/projects/videos/etc. Nice work Dan!
*GREAT JOB DAN!!! AWESOME VIDEO* 🔥🔥
your not lucky casey, you deserve the life. you worked hard my friend! I hate when people say "Oh, He's Lucky.." no no, I don't buy into that, you DESERVE everything you get and the life you live, so don't tell yourself, hey I'm lucky to live this life, because you EARNT IT!
This was beautiful. Thank you for making it. 💕

Love that _early morning montage_
Hoady haha! Thanks yeah I had fun editing that.
Casey has build a dream! A TH-cam dream. Changed my life and I don’t even know him personally.
Dan cool video man. Great question. I really liked this video man, it hit some awesome notes of life with a fantastic casey neistat baseline of love the work, just love life. Again probably the perfect TH-cam video. Thanks, Rob.
Rob Dymott loved it too!
Casey brought me here but your talent keeps me coming back! Your editing and filmmaking skills are obviously, but your storytelling skills are the true talent. Cheers Bru
This is really cool. You are really gifted.

So rad dude, loved it!
I have seen a lot of movies/vlogs about people but man, this is one of the greatest. You Sir are going to be very successful. Thank you for this awesome video, I was really happy watching it
FIRE AS ALWAYS
He's somebody that knows how to live life to the fullest. Very open minded to trying new things. I need to get out of my comfrot zone more often.
I came here because of Casey, but, I subscribed because of you.
"Envy the country that has heroes, huh? I say pity the country that needs them." Be your own 'Casey Neistat'. Watching' this was awesome, but I its a reminder to me I need to get off my ass and do more, work harder and live a life worth living. Excellent work Dan, I like your style. Peace.
Dude this was awesome!
i couldn't ask a better question to a guy like Casey cuz it provides me with an answer that could probably motivate me in the darkest hour. THANKS MAN!!! :)
WOW *Dan Mace* WOW
Casey has worked hard for all he has! What a great inspiration!
Casey neistat reminds me of Harvey specter 😂
hey dan, i’ve been a fan of your videos for years. your unique style of editing, your ideas and everything you do is so inspiring to me. seeing you with casey is waaay too awesome! can’t wait to see more work from you this year, thanks for inspiring many of us x
Peter McKinnon would be so jealous :))
lol
Yep
of what?
Why ?
Lucians why!??

Great video Dan 👌🏼 just awesome. You should get way more attention on TH-cam and I'm sure you will in future
Dude wtf... This 3 min video hit me so hard I almost cried. Well done mate!
so all the popular vlogers commenting on this video
I remember watching his first daily vlog how many years ago from cape town, a true inspiration
Casey neistat boxing match????
0:38 to 0:52 is some of the best editing I've seen on TH-cam...
*Do you even like yourself bro?*
*bru
editing is an epitome of patience and creativity
Did he answer the question?
He's happy with the success his life has bought him but does he like the person he is?
Deep questions Dan but I'm not sure he gave an answer. 🤔
Casey lives such an extravagant lifestyle that is so admirable but I know he makes a lot of sacrifices and works a lot harder than it sometimes appears to his audience. I wish I had half the amount of determination and drive as he does. I want to do more with my life but just basic things can be difficult with crippling anxiety. I know it sounds like an excuse and ultimately Casey is a one of a kind. There are few ppl who can keep up with him and far fewer who could ever attempt to replicate him.
*I just subscribed to your channel, turned on notifications, watched and stuck a like on your video and commented. Now What?*
Hey Dan, this is a great video. I really appreciate the style. It felt like a new way of showcasing an interview that isn't boring. I'm inspired.
He's living the perfect life through the hard work he put into it, just wish I did the same when I was the young kid I was..... But.... If I changed my past I might not have the family I have now...... We're all living our perfect life..
Went to make a video about "video making" last night, ended up being all about Casey... I love this guy.
Is it even luck though? He’s worked and still working for what ever he gets out of life... he makes his own luck
This is why I love TH-cam. Videos like this. This is one of the best videos I’ve seen in a long time on here, keep it up! I’m officially a fan!
The edit in the vid is beyond current, I see it as the next trend. I believe that in the 20....20's content creation will have a viewer expectation to be at this level. In traditional content I find my mind wanders and I click ahead in a video to catch up the video to my thought......In this content style my thoughts have to catch up to the video, I can't click ahead because the content is ahead of me.....I keep focused on the vid. Before I know it, 10 minutes flew by and I received the entire message. And , just to make sure I got it all, I watch it again. Awesome!
That‘s what I would like to add to work and braveness: inspiration. In terms of this your movie was just GREAT!
Such a rad video, and amazing way of telling a story. Mad props Dan, thanks for sharing!
Oh man! Your style and editing is ON POINT! This gave me goosebumps! Not just for Casey's perspectives but the overall production.
You got yourself a sub!
This will go viral. Your style of editing is very good, im just a small youtube creator but even though i am very small i will not stop at nothing. Casey has inspired me to never stop. Always chase your dreams. You will achieve them if you just WORK HARD.
damn, watching this now knowing you're having a ball with Casey in NYC makes me so happy for you Dan. Such a dope video!
Both of you guys are such an inspiration!! Great edits, great content, just pure greatness.
Love you Casey, thanks for being here with us
One of the most authentic youtubera ive seen in a while.
Seriously tho - saffas all the way 🇿🇦
I came from Casey's channel, watched 3 videos now. Holy cow your editing/cinematic footage is absolutely incredible.
One word: amazing. Casey inspired me to start my daily vlog, he’s an incredible person.
Never heard how much would this guy be in Casey's videos but somehow I just figurd out your channel and absolutely dope, keep doing it up! U both are good at this af!
Found you from Casey's Channel and I'm loving what I'm seeing. I love your style and discovering your channel is one of the best things to happen today.
this is fucking beautiful. I would give you a standing ovation for this video if it was possible.
