    Never realized how intense Daniel's filming setup is, his videos always seem so fun and loose that I assumed it was just him and a camera, but this man has the full cameras and lighting, plus grinding away in a full production room

    When you are a creative person but also need to pay bills, salaries and you know...eat. "The show exists to sell merch" *Daniel turns head towards camera* "yeah, you heard what you heard" As someone who has lived that life I felt that. Its a hustle. Get that bread Danny boy!

    • @Corbomite_Meatballs

      It feels kinda gross that performers/entertainers can't make enough money *before* the merch so they don't live and die on it.
      Going to see Daniel in Chicago, and yes I'll probably buy some merch, but I want him to be able to tour because he wants to perform and can make a good living doing it on the road w/o having to kowtow to merch capitalism.
      I'd also like a full head of hair again (while I'm asking for things), so I'm going to have some words with you, Daniel Thrasher, about the bald shade in this here vidja when I see you perform.
      The glare from my shorn pate will blind you, as is right and just.

      @@Corbomite_Meatballs I agree! It's crazy to look at the price of even relatively cheap tickets to say a rock concert, look at how many people attended, and then to think that all the money from dozens of shows on a tour in packed venues sometimes isn't even enough to break even. So much of that money doesn't go to an artist, but goes to the venue, the label, the expensive nature of doing something like a tour, etc. It seems almost exploitative, seeing how hard artists work when doing shows live, to the point where many will perform injured or sick for example, and seeing that the money they receive in return is not nearly proportional to the amount of work they do compared to some label exec or venue owner who only had to sign some papers and hire someone to make scheduling decisions for them

    Getting a lil peeky-poo into Daniel's creative process is absolutely something I'd love to experience more of, be it a video, a book, or livestreams (like the collaborative making of "When your friend acts differently around other people" with his Twitch audience).
    Daniel is such an intelligently creative, dedicated comedian, actor, & content creator. There is so, so much involved in his work & I'm so glad Daniel has such a great team behind him to help. Between youtube, his shows, working for the past 14 months to finalize things with Rhett and Link, & all the other things in his life, I'm so happy for him. He deserves every opportunity that comes his way.

    I'm glad you showed the raw BTS stress of putting the show together alongside writing, filming and editing other sketches that you upload to your channel. That "youtube is the life" is such a careless comment to any creator, but especially to the stuff you make where there may be music writing + lyrics that needs to have a punchline...People don't realize just how much work and care goes into something like that.
    I'm happy for you that the shows went well (I wish I could've gone! :( I live just a tad too far from LA) and I absolutely love your videos. Much love from a longtime fan

  • @Beastintheomlet
    @Beastintheomlet Před 2 lety +16

    Comments like these are so short sighted. I’ve been a working musician and a stand up comedian, and people have no idea how much work happens off stage/camera. The sketches that just don’t have that angle and you spent so long trying to make work, the practice of being able to make an audience forget these characters are all one guy, the dozens of takes, the constant set up of lights and audio and no one ever realizes how much time editing takes. You think “how long could it take to edit a 5 minute video” but that’s just it, there’s way more than 5 minutes footage to cut apart and piece together.
    Sorry, long story short I feel you on this so much Dan.

    It's good to have this insight. I think it's easy to fall into the illusion, in any artform, that making a job out of it can mean a lot of hard work, but endless creativity and being able to live off of just industriously creating what you love. We don't often see the part about getting into and manipulating the audience's mind, or sometimes being at the will of the impulsive and dopamine-seeking masses, serving the will of an algorithm, company, record label, distributor, sponsor, etc. All of those things are related but separate skills that I think people don't like to address when aspiring to make their art their career. There's no escaping the fact that one has to learn to play the social games by the rules of those above you, deal with the paperwork and on-paper planning and scheduling, and be able to sell their skills to people who see you as nothing more than digital information or another naive applicant or just an npc stranger. Not to diminish pursuing art at all, just I think it's very good that you've put work into publishing this and being somewhat vulnerable about it because an accurate idea of what any job is like will doubtless help people decide on something that they can enjoy and be successful at
