Why I Reluctantly Cut A Montage Of My Visual Effects And Filmmaking Trickery.
12 juni 2018 · 6 min
Commercial Directors are not well-served by montages of shots. Advertising agency folks and clients want to see you can tell a good story in :15, :30 or :60 seconds. So for years, I have resisted the montage reel. But friends, this weekend I succumbed to the siren of the montage. After listening to the new breed of filmmakers, like Oren Kaplan and Matt Enlow (Of Just Shoot It Podcast fame) and others, I realized it's part of the schtick of being a director. And who knows, maybe I'll get a gig from someone seeing this? (It's posted at jordanbrady.com or click here.) Lees meer
As a comedy director, my work with CG characters, trickery and even critters, must be done with deft collaboration among the entire team. Starting agency creatives come up with these concepts, and then I do a mind-meld with production and post. My wonderful friends at Arsenal Creative did the all post for the Toyota work, and House Special did the newly launched Thryv!

How Going Off The Grid Improved My Filmmaking.
27 april 2018 · 9 min
By going off the grid for just 72 hours, I returned with a fresh attitude towards my work. Look folks, I love the hustle and thrive off it, but clearly I needed a reminder that human connection is vital to a rich, fulfilling life.

They also screened "I Am Battle Comic", so that is always fun. But with no cellular service nor internet, we got to reconnect, have meaningful conversations with other filmmakers about their projects, and just chat with total strangers from all walks of life.

So Why Is Super Producer-Director Judd Apatow Doing A Netflix Stand-Up Comedy Special?
6 december 2017 · 1 uur 44 min
Writer/Producer/Director Judd Apatow is one of my favorite filmmakers, with "Knocked Up", "This is 40", "40 Year Old Virgin" and "Funny People" being my personal loves. As the ultimate Hollywood hyphenate, he's produced dozens of Brady family classics such as "Anchorman: The Legend Of Ron Burgundy", the recent "The Big Sick" and the comedic tour-de-force "Talladego Nights: the Ballad of Ricky Bobby". So why after 22 years would Judd Apatow return to his roots of stand up comedy? Find out here. Lees meer
Judd also shares his method of extracting the most from his entire filmmaking team actors, writers, directors and editors, never stopping until the film is it's funniest. I've always admired how he's encouraged his actors to write his or her own stories, and his support has brought us HBO's "Girls", "Crashing" and all things Franco.
