Damn, I felt this. Sometimes we put such big expectations on ourselves. Especially when we see all the rad videos everyone else posts. One step at a time.
Vulnerability in our storytelling is our biggest strength. When I started documenting my authentic journey being a young filmmaker navigating my 20s, I found the more people were moved and able to relate to a feeling I thought I was completely alone in. Powerful video.
Hi, I’m the viewer who never comment but watch silently ! The fact that I’m commenting this video is a proof that there is a million reason for your video to exist ! This video is a peace of art, you’re such an inspiration… as a filmmaker for the quality of the video, as a human being for being honest and true in your work and as a content creator for mixing both ! Love you man ! 💪🏼
Sam, you're by far my favorite creator, always so raw, humble, and aspirational. And that is the key to success, I love that Dji and Canon see that in you too. You are so unbelievably talented, and I'm excited to see what you have to show us in 2023. Thank you for showing us this story, I'm sure Dji loved it too, it's soooo authentic. Thank you again Sam, and good luck with everything in 2023! Xx Camilla
I can't even explain how much I love just a simple visual video that tells an amazing story! I see so many video creators put endless hours into editing to create these un-natural transitions and effects, when in reality nothing hits the audience more than some raw shots, nice sound design and a great music track! Great message your spreading in this video Sam, well done!
As a content creator myself, you made me cry bro especially around 3:43. I used to have this kind of perfectionist mindset too and I'm trying to get rid of it. I really love how you showed everything behind the video, the struggles and setbacks, super authentic bro. You really inspire me! "Sometimes we try so hard to make the perfect video, when in reality the story we should tell was the one Infront of us the entire time."
By the end of this video I was almost in tears as this video meant a lot more to me than flying a drone. I haven't even flown mine in over 2 months and its because I haven't gotten footage that I was really proud of and this video spoke to me. The story I have is good enough and that's what counts. Thank you very much.
Bruh. Way to inspire a vast community, while you have incredible skill and vision, with genuine and much needed transparency! SUPER grateful for your story!!

Honesty is powerful and inspiring. Thank you for not making just another video in a million, it's imperfectly perfect.
LOVE ME SOME CREAMY DRONE FOOTAGE 🔥.This year will be unlike anything you've ever seen. Because you said yes to what you thought was a lost, you opened yourself to opportunities you will never forget. 👌🏽
If this isn't one of the best DJI videos they've ever seen... reality is that it was more "sick" than I even expected knowing you have proven your talent time and time again. This video made me and allowed me to experience the emotion behind it all. Honestly hit the heart, Sam. Related to it all. The storytelling and cuts, effects, music design couldn't have been better. Thank you for the epic inspiration to being more authentic in life and creativity. I will try to emulate it to the best of my ability when I create fishing videos if I can.
Sam, at the moment when I'm sitting at the editing and trying to make a perfect video, but I decide to tell everything as it was... there is a notification about your new video on the channel. Just with the message that I'm sitting at the monitors thinking about. Thank you! Now it's easier for me to create the video that I managed to shoot. 😉👍
love the realness of this video, I recently uploaded a perfect drone travel video but it doesn't include any of the issues i faced, the mountains i had to climb to return the crashed drone, the times i went to an incredible spot and forgot an SD cart, some of the uncomfortable rides to get to some of the places. this is truly inspiring, to be real is actually more fun to watch than just showing the good stuff.
Dude. This is pretty much the idea behind the 15-minute narrative film I've been working on this past year. And I think you did it better in five minutes than my film will in 15! Loved this man.
You're a freaking genius seriously. This is a million times more authentic than any other travel video with only nice images and motivational speech. I also identified so much to your mental breakdown as I had my own recently with client work. Thank you so much for this.
I really do appreciate you showing not everything can go as planned for the "perfect" video and your struggles for this opportunity working with DJI. Big props to you Sam!
I am living in a very similar place right now, with my business growing and the things I need to do piling up. Blew a tire out last Saturday on the way home from an event in Raleigh North Carolina and waited on the side of the road for three hours. I needed to see this, thank you for being authentic and awesome!
I can totally see myself in your position. I am such a perfectionist that it actually stops me in my own path. Sometimes I think this OCD is what makes my videos different from other "ordinary" videos, but nowadays I see that simple and ORDINARY is the trend.
So good and so authentic! I felt something emotional watching your video and that's rare these days with all of this stuff flashing in front of our eyes. I'm happy that I'm subscribed to your channel and best of luck to you!
The honest way is the best way and tells the right story..the story behind. With all feeling, emotions, fails, and success. This this more then a normal story, it’s the story about you and your friends to work with one of the biggest companies. And am honest. If some day come to do a project like this…damn I will be so stoked as you to make the best. But what is the best? Is the progress and process about not even more isn’t it? To see you and telling the this stories and you one…this is the goal..the journey of your life. (Hope that is right 😅, sorry for my bad English, still learning) thanks for be as you are and tell this amazing process and progress story with all of your videos 🙏🏽. Greetings from the border of France and Germany. Paul
The value here, is much appreciated! I have much to learn, and you found a way to make this inspiring, even if it wasn't the way you originally intended. Thank you🤙
This is exactly why I love your content Sam. Honesty and low key making us all feel like "we made it" for a moment. As easy as it is to sit and look at the big boys (you ofc being one of them now as well ;-) ), it's difficult to imagine the path and easy to lose hope along the way. I did for a brief moment last year and while I hope to be the one, some day, to say "yo, DJI reached out and everything went wrong but here's a video anyway", it's always refreshing to hear you say it! Cheers man! Thanks for being you!
Love the raw and realness of this man. Sometimes the best thing to do is to just be real and I think we forget about that a lot with content creation. Good work brother 🤍
Loved the video but this one line touched my heart and made me your subscriber right away. "Sometimes we try so hard to make the perfect video, when in reality the story we should tell was the one that was in front of us the entire time" I heard it somewhere that "if you feel your video has something missing, try adding truth to it". Thats exactly what you did.
This has opened my eyes a lot more. Carving out a new trail for this year filled with Awesome shots, loads of scripting, editing, planning. Trying to find and create that perfect film. In reality, nothing is perfect. And I think creating for yourself of where we are at now. The present moment. Truly an eye opener. The BEST DJI Film I've seen. It was honest, everyday life situations and not just a cool spot with some cool clips. Even though they're very cool :D STAY CREAMY Sam. Nailed it.
Man I don't comment much on youtube videos nowadays, maybe it's because of the fact that youtube creators are losing the authenticity but this video of yours has a honesty to it which I loved the most. Please keep making the videos of this sort so we could enjoy and learn from each others journeys!
Dude, I love the idea that you posted the whole story how it really was instead of pretending that you did the job great ! being honest is better than being perfect. I think new video plot became even better than the original one ! keep it up !
SAM NEWTON no matter what happen your the king i am from pakistan and i hundred percent know that people love your content and really i love you man dope content
i know i'm a bit late to this video, but... Love me some creamy drone footage... and love even more how real and straight up you are all the time... love your honesty! it makes me feel better about my ups and downs... especially the downs... love you man!
Those drone shots were better than just creamy , They were inspiring others to put milk in their extremely dry cereal.. to tell it as it is , rather than to just butter up and make it look/sound good. Being authentic these days is more difficult than it seems, which is something everyone here can take a lesson from.. Nothing is perfect, only what you perceive it to be. So thank you for showing sincerity . Looking forward to the next one! 🤙🏽
Loved the end comment phrase 😂Fantastic video. I think we have all been there and I appreciate the truth behind this. Everyone always sees the perfect end product and rarely do we see the build up to it. Thank you. And the footage was epic
Not that I enjoyed hearing about your struggles in this film but, it's so nice to hear how human you are, as big as you've gotten in this space. Thanks for showing you can still "fail" at your level, that it's not always done, set and perfect. It's really powerful. This is how you fail forward. Still here for the cream team!
Sam"s honest reflection on how the DJI video went is giving me the urge to always stay true to myslef in different situation. Thanks for been you Sam and lastly, stay creamy!
DUDE- i feel this video has it all - story, raw honesty, still got epic drone footage, showcases the night capabilities..be proud of urself brotha ;) well well done
Plans always changed and life doesen´t alway move the way we think it will. But reagrdless of what´s happening, we just have to appreciate the moments we get when we have them. No matter it was planned or not... but.... thank god, DJI has the care refresh... 🙂

I’ve always loved how real you are. Grateful to have been part of this with you bro. You have an authenticity that is so rare.
Couldn’t have done this without you dude ❤️
What a way to start out the year - Lets get after it in 2023 :)
We really appreciated your sincerity. we also find ourselves in the same situation when we make videos and sometimes it can be discouraging. 💫
I love this thank you:)

I wish every content creator had this quality of being TRUE, i really appreciate your honesty Sam..this video is your loyalty to your work ❤️🙌
Good Job in making the best out of the situation Sam! Love me some Creamy Drone Footage! I think the video still turned out great.
Thank you brother!

Authenticity trumps everything. Pair this with great storytelling and you have the perfect video. Always impressed by your work dude!
I fricking love watching these videos. I appreciate how real you keep these videos Sam.
You’re honestly my idol. Everything you do is so inspiring it’s crazy. I love this and I love you
I love how authentic and genuine this video is, amazing work! story could not be told any better

DJI couldn’t have hired anyone better, and honestly this ad is great.
i love this guy, every single video he makes inspires me, every single one
Sometimes we try so hard to make the perfect video when in reality the story we should tell was the one rhat was in front of us the entire time. ❤❤❤
My guy:)
Your honesty took my heart away .. man you are a talented, u will work tones of videos with DJI ❤ U VIDEOS are inspiring… god bless… keep creating
Sam! yes my dude. thank you for sharing this real story and being you. we love you too
This video felt authentic, you through your storytelling made this video remarkable Sam. Well done!
The reeal story behind the film is just priceless. always love your content SAM!
Love the authenticity. So many people on social media pretend their lives are perfect. Thanks for being raw. And the Mavic footage was siiiiiick!
You're a freaking genius seriously. This is a million times more authentic than any other travel video with only nice images and motivational speech. I also identified so much to your mental breakdown as I had my own recently with client work. Thank you so much for this.
I really do appreciate you showing not everything can go as planned for the "perfect" video and your struggles for this opportunity working with DJI. Big props to you Sam!
These imperfections makes the Story Perfect👌🏻
This maybe not the perfect video, but the perfect story video. ❤ we always love you.
It’s a nice video. Feels more real, how it should. It’s more fun when things go wrong
Life is not all sunshine and roses
My guy thank you
I am living in a very similar place right now, with my business growing and the things I need to do piling up. Blew a tire out last Saturday on the way home from an event in Raleigh North Carolina and waited on the side of the road for three hours.

LOVE ME SOME CREAMY DRONE FOOTAGE! Love your personal story telling. I find it really touching.
I can totally see myself in your position. I am such a perfectionist that it actually stops me in my own path. Sometimes I think this OCD is what makes my videos different from other "ordinary" videos, but nowadays I see that simple and ORDINARY is the trend.
I love how this turned out so damn much. This video was a journey for sure but the final product was even better than I hoped!!
My fucking guy!!
The creamiest drone video footage on the world wide webs...Keep'em coming brutha man!
So good and so authentic! I felt something emotional watching your video and that's rare these days with all of this stuff flashing in front of our eyes. I'm happy that I'm subscribed to your channel and best of luck to you!
Love the REALITY that is this video.
I love that you show the mental struggle that comes with creating art. As a musician I can relate to this so much!🥲
You're a freaking legend dude. Love the honesty. I've always been a proponent for honest films. Keep it up brother.
The honest way is the best way and tells the right story..the story behind. With all feeling, emotions, fails, and success.

The story made me watch the whole video and look up the product even more. Honesty is the best recipe for success.
My guy, I really appreciate that
Amazing job man, love me some creamy drone footage.
The value here, is much appreciated! I have much to learn, and you found a way to make this inspiring, even if it wasn't the way you originally intended. Thank you🤙
This is what I needed to watch…, thank you Sam. I totally admire you😊👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Well, I loved it, and exactly for that “not so perfect” reason.
Finally some honesty in this social media world. Well done Sam.
Super love this Sam. Storytelling shines when the story is real and dear.
Sam, THIS IS THE PERFECT VIDEO!! It resonated with me so deeply :) Thanks for making these real and inspiring masterpieces!
What a legend. Loved the way you turned it out around. Never stop never stopping 🎉
speachless, perfectly honest, perfectly real, perfectly innovative
Appreciate your honesty Sam! You made the video more valuable than it would have been without this story.
Happy creamy year my boy 🔥
Dude, this is dope. Love the authenticity and the sick footage. Keep killing it. 🤘🏼

THAANK UUU
You’re the only reason I still use TH-cam ❤ Another banger 🔥
Love the authenticity, DJI made a great creator choice.
I loved the honesty Sam. The cliche travel videos with sick B ROLL and voice over are over done anyways. I think this turned out way better!
My dude!! Appreciate you always
The best commercial in a very very long time. Loved it! 🙂
Ok. Because of this, I've decided it to get the Mavic 3 classic. That footage looks insane! Good job man.
Dude, my eyes got wet when I saw you cry. I rly felt for you. Great video!
"Love me some creamy drone footage"
Yeees! By far the best promotional edit I've seen in a really long time! Keep up the good work Sam!
Ayo!!! Thank you boss
love me some creamy drone footage ALSO WHAT THE F.... SO SICK
Loved the end comment phrase 😂Fantastic video. I think we have all been there and I appreciate the truth behind this. Everyone always sees the perfect end product and rarely do we see the build up to it. Thank you. And the footage was epic
This hits the spot. Always thinking of ideas for videos is cruel self-inflicted pain lol. Keep living the drea.
It's the honesty for me, Sam. Sitting here dreaming about 2023, and it was good to hear this. Best of luck this year, man.
My dude thank you!
@@SamNewton You are most welcome. Let me know if you're ever in the ATL.
Really love this man, transparency breeds trust.
