SpotCast

In the continuation of our Adam Lisagor interview, Adam discusses how he developed the concepts for several of his spots, production budgets, casting, and his thoughts on the 1991 film, "Mannequin: On the Move".

In our pilot episode, director/producer Adam Lisagor discusses his history with commercial production, how he co-created an iphone app that led to him becoming one of the most sought after directors of start-up product-intro spots, his job as a visual effects PA on the Joseph Kahn directed classic "Torque", and what it means to go "full retard".

Commercial director David Jellison discusses transitioning from assistant directing to directing, why brands are afraid to take chances, copyright issues in spec spots, why Nebraska loves "Two and a Half Men", the evolving styles of comedy, and how the music industry is filled with awful people.
