Commercial Directing Film School

It's difficult to find resources specifically for commercial directing, and Jordan has, time and time again, proven himself to be one of the best sources of education in the industry. His Masterclass is certainly no exception. It’s filled with knowledge that is easily applicable to various levels of directing, and that can help set you on the path towards mastery. Best of all, it’s topped off with Jordan’s signature witty flourish. Thanks Jordan!

As far as masterclasses go, this is about as niched down as I've seen. And that's an incredible thing because as much as I love some 'other' masterclasses from non-commercial directors, they're mainly high-level conceptual speak with little to no actionable insights. In this course Jordan brings the goods, the magic, dare I say, the voodoo.

This course is solid gold. Jordan tells you exactly how he does it. He simply and practically takes you through his craft. (Which is really what aspiring Directors need to know, whether they know it or not.) And he doesn't shy away from exploring the more elusive aspect of Directing, taste. Then he tells you how to get work, how to make yourself marketable, and how those things add up to building a career. What you get here is THE practical program for how to approach and execute your material, lead, work with people, solve problems, tell a story, and more... and HOW Jordan has applied it 1,200 times, and counting. If you want those kinds of numbers one day, then listen to what Jordan has to say. Watch this course. Get his book. Go to Commercial Directing Bootcamp. Say thank you, because he sure didn't get what he's giving here in such a distilled form, and then get out there and do likewise.

Jordan's ability to be concise yet connect all the dots in theses videos of the commercial directing process I really believe is invaluable. It's one thing to explain one or two jobs, but this course really dives into the norms and some of the curve balls you might get thrown throughout. It's clear that Jordan has been doing this for a long time, is thoughtful about how he does it, and It's all the stuff you wished a seasoned professional could tell you if you had a chance to hang out with them.

This masterclass was fantastic. I have 10 years of directing experience, but am newer to the world of commercial directing. This masterclass (and most of Jordan's work) gives me priceless insight into the process of the advertising world so that I can, in fact, respect that process. If you're familiar with Jordan's podcast and book, you get an even deeper dive into some of his best practices and experiences. His BTS footage and case study is worth the price alone.

Jordan Brady's Directing Master Class is the best online course for the filmmaking business by far. In it you will go step by step in the whole process of directing a commercial with a hands on approach and point that only someone with years of experience can have. If you desire to work as a commercial director, this is the course for you. If you read Brady's book "Commercial Directing Vodoo", this course is a deep dive into the elements found in the book. There are severall PDF's with examples of treatments and storyboards that cannot be found anywhere else on the internet - Rare Golden Nuggets for any commercial Director in the making. You will also see spots that went on air and the whole process in making them into being, which is fantastic. Jordan Brady lays out and explain the entire process dor you to learn and respect. Amazing!

Jordan is not only a wonderful human being, but he's very knowledgable, creative, and strategic in directing commercials.

This is exactly the class on commercial directing I was looking for. Thank you Jordan for putting this together - very valuable advices. Love the humor, laughed out loud quite a few times :) Appreciated your honesty and the clever tricks - fantastic content!

Jordan brings a wealth of knowledge in every area of this course; it's digestible and to the point.

As a former ad agency copywriter, I'm familiar with the process of fretting that the production team is bringing your precious script to life the way you envisioned it as you munch snacks in video village. Now that I'm in the director's chair, I know how to honor the vision, work with the crew, and finesse the talent in order to produce a reel-worthy spot. Jordan's wisdom has shown me the full side of directing commercials and given me tools to up my game. This Masterclass will do the same for any filmmaker, no matter if they have worked in the advertising/client world. The director's treatments and storyboards included are pure gold, showing you ways in which to pitch your vision. Thank you, Jordan, for this insanely valuable course. And on behalf of all copywriters, I do apologize for asking a set dresser to move a prop. Which I have done. Many times.

We see end products, we see bts but what about practical things you don't document. That's my take on the class, X factor items. Think about it, take a lap and decided what lane you want to be in.

Found this course to hold a lot of value!
