Filming Commercials Remotely With Agency Creative Directors Dan Councilor and Tom Topolewski.

Leo Burnett Detroit Creative Directors Dan Councilor and Tom Topolewski discuss shooting remotely from the agency perspective. I’d shot Buick with the team (Dan is an Art Director and Tom a copywriter) in February again for the NCAA March Madness, but this time Tom watched the camera feed via zoom and facetimed with us. Dan had his boots on the ground. Now, I love having the creatives with me on set. The energy and ideas bounce around more fluidly. What practices will stick as the pandemic dies down? (Read about our collab here.) Fun fact: Dan & Tom have created some of your favorite Oso Delicious Hot Sauce ads on Instagram. Jake’s Patreon patrons get special tips from the gents on what they love in a director’s treatment. I shot their “Cucumbers” spot with Dan & Tom, and yes that is Netflix’s “Cheer” star Morgan Simianer. The “Quadruple Take” spot is theirs too. My online Commercial Directing Masterclass celebrated one year of helping filmmakers globally and has received 100% 5 star reviews. Did I mention the free filmmaker consultation call upon completion? Shout out again Zack Hosseini cuz ol’ Jake insisted on pronouncing his name correctly. That lil’ brod named integrity must have landed on his shoulder.
