Would love more content like this on commercial filmmaking! You’re So good at delivering this kind of content so that it’s easy to understand. Thank you!

Hi, I'm watching your video two years later and I confess that I found it incredible, thank you very much for sharing your experiences. A big hug from Brazil. He won another writing.

Defintely would love to see more about these pitch decks.

This was super insightful and appreciated. This is how REAL commercials get made. He only got past shooting. There’s a whole 2nd half in post that’s just as involved a journey.

As an actor, the last minute BS was exhausting. Hold this date. Don't book anything else but they may not want you. They tell you yes or no day or two before. They also ask you to bring backup clothing you may not have and will never use. I hated bringing a suitcase to use NOTHING. It's like Mission Impossible, you find out location and time 10 hours before so you have to navigate how to get there in last minute. So annoying but once I got to set, I was happy lol. I never got the last minute location. Like don't you know?

How do you get an agent to represent you? So that you can focus on the creative side while they focus on the business side. Especially when someone is starting out.

Feel like these are deeper dive into professional KZread. This platform has turned me into a one-person adventure filmmaking team and now learning the other aspects. Thank you so much for making these!! Years of experience in 10 minutes truly is valuable.

Great video as usual Mark. The amount of information and attention to detail is always above and beyond. It's crazy to me just how much goes into this type of work when a lot of people will go out of their way to avoid watching a commercial.

Mark, I really enjoyed the inserts and cutaways shots, it helped to break up the sections and made it more fun to watch!

Love this kind of videos, Mark! There are really helpful. I just came from a meeting where the client asked for those crazy impossible things only Christopher Nolan can do and the agency guy who was afraid of losing his job said we can do anything they want 😩 One of those days when you just want to go home and be an artist 😃

Yooo you did the German o2 spot, that's amazing, I have my internet plan there haha💯

Man !! We need more of this videos !!

Great breakdown on the process !

Absolutely amazing content!

Yes! This is the content I needed! I have worked on a handful of smaller commercials and have been struggling to figure out how the professionals really get it done. Love your doc content but would be amazing to get more commercial content because it is clear you have so many valuable insights that’s would make a huge difference to people like me. Thanks so much!

👏👏 this super helpful context. Thanks for sharing.

Any job involving flying to greece and having 40 people on a zoom call and just as many on set should be in the hundreds of thousands of dollars range, or it's simply not financially worth doing.

thank you for generously sharing your hard-won knowledge! Blessings on you and yours!

Mark I am now completely exhausted but thank you so much for reminding me why I only made one big TV commercial and with that I didn't have to do a third of what you described and that was 90% too much for me. I have since then worked for major clients in the construction world produced 60 programmes for TV and even though at times that can be a little bit stressful I am left to get on with the projects without any input until I show them the edit. Thanks again.

I confess that I watch many videos on 1.25 so I can gather good information more efficiently. Thanks for sharing the process. Writing, performing, recording a song has more to it than most people realize. What's cool about creating is that sometimes small details that come together by mistake or accident, can actually turn out better than what was planned.

Hi Mark thanks for the awesome video.... I would definitely like to know more on commercial filmmaking.

Definitely the best KZread video uploaded today🙌🏾🙌🏾

Yes, please do a breakdown series. Much appreciated Mark, great video!

Definitely interested to hear more. Thanks for the great vids

Great content, thanks !!

I went through this entire process for the commercial I’m making for my senior project in film school. It’s insane how much goes into the pre-production process! After production is completed, then I breathe just a little bit, until I am up against the deadlines to actually run the ads! We had a small cast and crew of about 10. I ended up being the Writer, producer, director, and gaffer for the project. It’s been a ride, but I’m almost done. And going through this whole process has helped me almost land a job at a company! I’m currently still in the interview process, but they want to pay me to edit an ad for them, and they want me to start meeting the crew! I can’t stress how much the producing portion of the work has made my production so much better! A minute of prep really saves you an hour in the day.

Hey Mark. This is good. I like commercials because people like you have been an inspiration. Id like to see you turning this into a series going over every step in great detail. I have to say the ignorance I have makes me scared of getting into them. Thanks again

wow this was super insightful never knew there were this many steps/processes in order to create one commercial

Woooow this was super insightful, I wanted to make commercials one day, but didn't know what the process would look like. Didn't know there were loooooots of steps from beginning to end

Get a job at a small production company. Then a bigger production company. Move around, work with different crews. Learn by watching and doing, from people with more experience than you. Nothing can beat that. No tutorial or even college course can come close.

Loved this video mark, can you go into details about the treatment process and how to stand out

Hey, thanks so much for the video, loved it! Looks like a huge and complicated process, where do production/marketing companies usually manage all those assets, photos, briefs, presentations, storyboards and schedules. Would love to find out a little bit more about that, thanks!

Great content... as usual.

Thanks, this was a super helpful high level overview. I’d love to hear more about how you come up with concepts and the “creative planning” side of things. For example: if you are shooting “new lens promo, can’t have flares” with no other requirements, how do you pick a story/location/shot list from that?

Thanks Mark! This episode was super insightful! Would love to see the breakdown of what actually happens in a shoot. You're an inspiration to many, excuse me if this is out of line, but if you are over commercial, just go and do something else you love bro :) Peace out!

Definitely interested in learning more! I’m a new filmmaker and sometimes it seems like I have no idea what Im doing or If I’m even moving forward. 😅

Great video again, thanks for sharing. I was wondering, do you carefully select the commercial briefs you're going to write a pitch for, or rely on your producer/agency's opinion to target the ones worth working on ? And roughly how many times a year would you say is relevant to sit down and go through the whole process ? I was directing adds and the time spent on writing pitches that I'd win one out of 7 or 8 times, without getting paid for of course, felt so counter productive. So if commercials are a way to make a living as a documentary director, given the unpaid time + ideas pitching takes from you, what percentage you'd say it should take out of your schedule ? Thanks in advance.

I never knew that creating a commercial was such a long process! This was very insightful, would love to see some breakdowns of the process of other commercials you’ve created.
