Ismael Vidal / A.D. / Assistant Director
AD since 2002, never wanted to be a Director. Born in Chile, started at 2004 on the set for advertising as 1st AD. Lived for almost 10 years in Uruguay (2006-2015), then back to Chile (2015-2022). Now Mexico based (2022 until hope many years); seeking for jobs. I’ve been involved in over 900 commercials as 1stAD. I ́ve shot in Chile, Uruguay, Argentina and Mexico: local, service, etc. Team player, assertive, empathic, funny (not), proactive, I’ve shot a variety of categories with great directors and DPs: grateful on them, learned a lot. I'm loud when necessary and love my job. Also love to shoot cars, storytelling, lifestyle, product and vignettes. Quote to myself: There is no AD without his crew.
