# What Daniel Comp's 2018 Video Teaches Asxer Owners About Meaning Beyond the Job

On 2018-09-27, Daniel Comp published "360MEN Book of INSIGHTS Video Tools" on YouTube. GB places it in Mission 4, Meaning Beyond the Job, one of five missions in the whole-library reading What 13 Years of Video Says to SI.

## What the video shows

Daniel shows a three-camera setup that costs less than 500 dollars and argues that authenticity beats gear: "for you to be able to shoot something that's transparent and authentic brings real value to it." He admits one careless decision once cost him over four hundred thousand dollars. Cheap, honest recording is the heart of what he asks men to do.
