I’ve been fortunate to shoot with Dan Councilor, Associate Creative Director at Leo Burnett, a few times now for Buick and it’s always a blast. Just as important, maybe more so, is the quality of the spots we make. Dan shares his journey to the Super Bowl LIV for Hummer’s EV with the king, LeBron James. Take a look:

Dan’s Super Bowl spot for the all-new Hummer EV w the GOAT.

We also chat about making ads just for fun, collaboration and how Dan hires Directors for his spots. Check out the work we chat about here.

Both my Commercial Directing Masterclass and Bootcamp are now at one easy-to-use link: Commercial Directing Film School. Bootcamp is 10.10.20 in LA. Join us if you can.

Thanks,

I wanted this 100th episode to be extra special, and by golly is it. Billy Jones is one of the most sought-after 1st AD’s in commercials because of his excellent leadership, communication and knowledge of filmmaking. Billy, and those he’s mentored, lead with a sense of serenity and control.

The 1st Assistant Director schedules & executes the day in a way that helps the Director accomplish her vision, while simultaneously helping the Producer stay on budget. The manner in which the 1st AD communicates to the crew is vital for a cohesive team effort.

Here’s a spot with Flo from Progressive that we chat about. Billy’s lead the charge for 4 years on the popular insurance campaign.

This episode is about an hour and 10 minutes of rich information.

Please celebrate this 100th episode by rating us on iTunes or at jordanbrady.com.

thanks,
