▶ 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.

▶ 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.

▶ About This Episode:Director Megan Tan joins Dylan Hahn to break down "The Champion Recipe," a storytelling-driven spot for Lexar's Argentina-designed SSD made with the AFA. Megan walks through shooting the entire thing in one 14-hour day in Malaysia, dressing a local Airbnb to pass as an Argentinian home, casting a real footballer over a trained actor, and packing in training scenes, a dialogue-heavy centerpiece, and a rain-soaked finale. They also dive into the DP relationship, the reflective light sweep everyone asks about, and how years of cinematic YouTube vlogging prepared Megan to direct on a real set.

▶ About This Episode:Director Daniel Iglesias joins Dylan Hahn to break down The Neighbourhood’s music video for “Planet”, a surreal dance piece built around an inverted woman, practical insects, a hairless cat, and a moving El Camino. Daniel explains how he turned a seemingly simple concept into a carefully structured visual journey, balancing ambitious transitions, VFX, choreography, and an eight-hour scheduling problem. They also discuss building treatments, protecting the right creative decisions, choreographing the camera alongside the dancer, and knowing when to break the visual rules you’ve established.
