2025 Showreelβ€οΈβ‘
My debut year as a director!
2025 was filled with a lot of risk, courage and learning moments.
I want to sincerely appreciate every brand, client, filmmaker, creative I've worked with this yearβ€οΈ.
We created beautiful stories together, you trusted me to also tell your brand's story and I do not take it for granted.
To the people I learnt from this year and gave me an opportunity to express my creativity...Thank youuuu.
Looking forward to making a great impact with my skills in 2026 and beyond β¨

Spiroβs Commercial brought out a whole new side of me β‘(1/3)
In just 2 days, I had the opportunity to direct 3 incredible commercials for Spiro, and it was one of the most fulfilling experiences Iβve had.
Huge thanks to @officialsuo for trusting me with this project β€οΈ
From ideation to execution, the process was both hectic and beautiful. Every moment taught me something new especially about emotional intelligence and teamwork. Iβm genuinely grateful to my amazing team for their sacrifices and commitment in making this project a success.
My biggest takeaway: Communication is everything. No matter the stage of a project before or during execution always communicate clearly and intentionally with everyone involved.

Ohh yesss I created a director's treatment and script in less than 48 hours...I've never done this before and I really did learn a lot on this journey honestly.

Firstly I was doubting myself because of the time frame between pre production and Post production. But guess what, God really helped me.

If You Knew Me reminds you that at our core, we all want to be loved without editing ourselves. Not the polished version, not the one we performβbut the messy, complicated, flawed truth. The parts we hide, soften or apologise for.
Because real love isnβt about perfection. Itβs about being seen fullyβ¦ and not being turned away. π

Nobody tells you how hard it is to make something feel eternal on a tight schedule, in freezing weather, with locations changing beneath your feet.
I didn't get assigned this project. I pitched for it.
The brief?
"Make Yorkshire feel like transcendence." No product. No logo. No dialogue. Just make people feel something profound.
The recce nearly broke us. Hands numb, phones out, scouting locations in the middle of winter.
Then locations changed last minute and we had to rebuild the entire shot list under time pressure with a performance deadline that wasn't moving.
The real challenge wasn't the camera. It was getting five people from different parts of the world, with different visual languages, to see the same film in their heads before we'd shot a single frame.
Our editor Emma, from Leeds, brought something I couldn't have given the film myself, what this city actually feels like from the inside.
Fused with my direction as someone experiencing it for the first time. That tension lives in every frame.
Three things I'm taking into every production from here:
1. Communication is the job
2. Always have a backup plan
3. Share your vision in the simplest way possible; your crew can't execute what they can't understand

Then locations changed last minute and we had to rebuild the entire shot list under time pressure with a performance deadline that wasn't moving.
The real challenge wasn't the camera. It was getting five people from different parts of the world, with different visual languages, to see the same film in their heads before we'd shot a single frame.
Our editor Emma, from Leeds, brought something I couldn't have given the film myself, what this city actually feels like from the inside.
Fused with my direction as someone experiencing it for the first time. That tension lives in every frame.
Three things I'm taking into every production from here:
1. Communication is the job
2. Always have a backup plan
3. Share your vision in the simplest way possible; your crew can't execute what they can't understand

Nobody tells you how hard it is to make something feel eternal on a tight schedule, in freezing weather, with locations changing beneath your feet.
I didn't get assigned this project. I pitched for it.
The brief?
"Make Yorkshire feel like transcendence." No product. No logo. No dialogue. Just make people feel something profound.
The recce nearly broke us. Hands numb, phones out, scouting locations in the middle of winter.
Then locations changed last minute and we had to rebuild the entire shot list under time pressure with a performance deadline that wasn't moving.

New Work!β€οΈ
I didnβt plan for this to be a solo shoot.
Halfway through production day, I couldn't shoot with the team I intended to shoot with; I had no crew, no backup plan, just a chair, a deadline, and a choice to make.
So I handled production, performance, and post, directing, filming, acting, editing, and rebuilt the concept around one idea: if a product is designed to support focus, the film should feel just as intentional.
Rather than listing features, I told a simple story about comfort, posture, and clarity. The mesh breathes. The form supports. The rhythm stays sharp.
Thereβs no voice-over and no hard sell. Just movement, balance, and a call to action that feels earned.
I made this spec commercial for @sihoo__official, which was part of a competition organized by @ocontest.official (Wes Anderson style).
More importantly, it reminds me why I direct the way I do: solve the problem, respect the brand, and let the visuals speak for themselves.
Sit well. Stay sharpβ€οΈ.
A lot of people have been wondering what Isaiah has been up to?
Well π I was gaining knowledge in a new space.
I started exploring virtual production in Filmmaking and Augmented reality in Live productions.
I think I should make this a series π.
Crazy right??? π My Lecturer said calm down I no gree
This project started as a course assignment but quickly became an exploration into how real-time environments, Unreal Engine, and live compositing can expand storytelling beyond physical sets.
I didnβt fully complete the commercial I envisioned and thatβs the point. The process exposed the realities of VP: camera tracking, lens calibration, environment build-outs, and the gap between concept and execution.
You see that lens calibration weaked me π ...I nearly cried because 75% of my time went into this project.
What I did achieve was hands-on experience building and compositing a virtual environment while connecting new technology back to my foundation in filmmaking.
This is a project Iβll be returning to and pushing further this year β€οΈ
Progress > polish.

Crazy right??? π My Lecturer said calm down I no gree
This project started as a course assignment but quickly became an exploration into how real-time environments, Unreal Engine, and live compositing can expand storytelling beyond physical sets.
I didnβt fully complete the commercial I envisioned and thatβs the point. The process exposed the realities of VP: camera tracking, lens calibration, environment build-outs, and the gap between concept and execution.
You see that lens calibration weaked me π ...I nearly cried because 75% of my time went into this project.
What I did achieve was hands-on experience building and compositing a virtual environment while connecting new technology back to my foundation in filmmaking.
This is a project Iβll be returning to and pushing further this year β€οΈ
Progress > polish.

Well π I was gaining knowledge in a new space.
I started exploring virtual production in Filmmaking and Augmented reality in Live productions.
I think I should make this a series π.

This year was huge for me, I officially started directing! After taking the Shoot edit Repeat class in January, I locked in on developing myself as a director.
I've always been about bringing wild ideas to life and executing plans that help brands reach their goals.
Fun fact: I didn't even know film directing existed until 2022 when I stumbled upon Ibidunni's YouTube video with Dabest. Their content was a game-changer! πβ€οΈ
I loved Dabest's style and Ibidunni's insights felt like striking gold. Both being commercial directors, I was inspired. I binge-watched their behind-the-scenes content like it was my job π. Then I told myself, 'I need to direct something.
So, during my final year, I created a spec ad for an energy drink I love. People liked it, and I was stoked! Sometimes I still look back and go 'wow.'
My takeaway: chase your dreams, even if it's scary - it's better than doing nothing. β€οΈβ‘
Next post, expect that spec ad π

Spiroβs Commercial 2/3 β‘
Every project teaches you something new, and this one reminded me why I love storytelling through visuals.
From concept to final cut, this commercial pushed me creatively, and Iβm proud of how far weβve come as a team.
Massive shoutout to the crew for showing up with dedication and passion once again. π€
