Other international projects followed including his most challenging, The Fourth Planet, directed by award winning Russian filmmaker Dimitris Astrakhan.

Daniel started The McVlog[4]a video blog in July of 2006. It quickly became well regarded and he hosted the first annual Vloggies Nov. 4, 2006.
His work in the new media has expanded to "The Late Nite Mash"[5]an online show and creative community that has featured interviews with Andy Garcia, music mashups with The Late Nite Mash musical director Joey Altruda and legendary Saxman Plas Johnson[6], integrated with community generated content from animators, vloggers and artists.
