They walk through in-camera LED strobes, an eight-light face rig played live by the gaffer on a keyboard, a lake platform near Vienna standing in for open sea, Vaseline painted onto filters over Mamiya lenses on a RED Komodo, a milk and saltwater cloud tank, flashlights hidden in sleeves, and reshooting the entire edit through an aquarium over a MacBook. They also get into why the idea matters more than the budget, building trust with a repeat director, and the value of experimenting on set.

They walk through refracting shooting footage through a tray of water over an iPad, a teleprompter mirror rig for on-set ripples, painting the frame with a single handheld LED light and masking each subject together in post, bouncing sunlight with mirrors, a Panasonic P2 riding alongside the RED Raptor, and wire work down a spiral staircase into an old bank's gold vaults. They also get into writing the script as a love letter to the city, Royd's mining family roots, locking the music before the edit, and turning a 90 second deliverable into a director's cut.

They walk through shooting three athletes against a cyc wall with two ARRI Alexa 35s on a Fisher dolly, a rolling Xbox Kinect rig blended with Polycam scans, in camera filtration, and sourcing hospital grade monitors from a suburban Chicago medical warehouse. They also get into using a treatment and Milanote briefs to define the creative sandbox, leaving an agency job to direct full time, and why spec work is a reminder to play.
▶Find Inspiration and develop your ideas with Frame Set:https://go.frameset.app/4xYM4Kp▶About This Episode:Director Niklas Hugo joins Dylan Hahn to break down his Y2K-inspired commercial for Offhand, "Diamond Drive Country Club." They walk through building one long dolly track that they reshuffled for multiple setups, faking rain with the fire department to soak the whole cast, and shooting on film. They also get into cutting to a drummer's internal rhythm, choosing tone and heightened reality over chasing perfect images, and protecting the creative fire that got him into filmmaking in the first place.
▶ Find Inspiration and develop your ideas with Frame Set:https://go.frameset.app/4ir24A9▶ About This Episode:Director Loris Russier joins Dylan Hahn to break down his Tissot commercial, a three sport tribute to dedication built around NBA star Damian Lillard, Tour de France cycling, and MotoGP. Loris walks through the all practical approach behind the film, including a hand built infinity mirror box, a sunrise basketball shoot staged on a repurposed boat platform, macro watch inserts shot on a Phantom camera, and an interesting use of reflective spray. They also get into the department matrix that ran pre production, balancing warm and cool color across three shooting days in Georgia plus a separate studio day with Damian Lillard in Portland, and why Loris considers this his most personal work yet.
▶ Find Inspiration and develop your ideas with Frame Set:https://go.frameset.app/4ybXaeI▶ About This Episode:Director Ádám Halmos joins Dylan Hahn to the podcast to break down his music video for Brumiko's "Sör, Unicum," which features Hungarian film legend Reviczky Gábor, Ádám's own childhood cinema hero. Ádám explains shooting his first ever project on 16mm film with only 40 minutes of stock, wrangling horses and motorcycles inside an active quarry, rebuilding a prop heart in VFX after the real one looked fake on camera, and trusting DP Fabó Tóth's eye on a black and white monitor that was hard to see. He also gets into directing without the safety net of digital playback, casting for real chemistry between his actors, and what it meant to work alongside one of Hungary's most legendary performers.
▶ Find Inspiration and develop your ideas with Frame Set:https://go.frameset.app/4iru9XM▶ About This Episode:Director Damien Blue returns to the podcast to break down two spots he directed for Brick. Damien walks through shooting a reversed paper throw at 120fps on 16mm film, wiring a custom LED light fixture shipped in from Australia, and combining a zoom out with a Dana Dolly slide for the final shot. He also gets into shooting practical effects in the age of AI, casting a real life couple for on screen chemistry, and building out his own home as a recurring set.
▶ Find Inspiration and develop your ideas with Frame Set:https://go.frameset.app/4i3vgNe▶ About This Episode:Director Josh Cohen joins Dylan Hahn to break down the Doritos x Formula 1 commercial starring Gordon Ramsay. Josh explains how a snowed out Toronto shoot forced the team into 3D truck scans and CG exteriors, how a moving light on a push cart replaced a volume stage they couldn't afford, and how the camera shake, blowtorch transition, and jalapeno explosion were all built in camera. He also gets into working with VFX house Wicked Pixels, printing the final film back to 16mm, and why he chose to edit the project himself.
