Day in the Life of a Design Supervisor/Art Director at Nickelodeon

[@jozdrawsinprada]

Thank you for showing so much love to this vlog! I'm truly blown away by the reception. I wanted to jump on and clarify one thing. A lot of people have brought up how it looks so laid back, and they want a job like that-keep in mind you are seeing only the fun parts of the day, 1-10% at best. There's A LOT I can't film due to NDA's so that really only leaves the stuff we do not around proprietary things. I also purposely filmed this on a chill day with less meetings because on regular days it's impossible to film. Enjoy the behind the scenes look and the silliness, but remember this is a highly curated version of reality! ☺

[@DQ_ArtGroupie]

There's a famous story told by "MASH" star Harry Morgan, from when he starred on "Dragnet" with Jack Webb, who was also the executive producer. Mr. Morgan had a wry sense of humor, but Mr. Webb was super-serious just like his character Joe Friday. One day during filming, Mr. Morgan told a joke at around 9:30am, then they worked a bunch. Later, at around 4:00pm, Mr. Morgan told another joke, to which Mr. Webb responded, "If you're going to keep fooling around like this,..."

I like how the algorithm supports a lot of small creators recently, like I frequently have videos with 50-500 views on my homepage since a few months. Interesting video, thanks so much for the insight!

[@jozdrawsinprada]

@@JannesDragon Yes, I've been noticing more small channels too! Glad it's giving everyone a chance. Thank you for stopping by!

[@diofigg3D]

same here, YT promoted this video and is simply really good and cosy.

[@Zarzar22]

Same! Been loving it

[@KellysShrimp]

back in the days before google bought youtube it was always like this and you could always stumble upon people living a completely different life than you, new music, etc.. it was the best

[@Retr0ReeF]

It so cool to me how even when there’s no one around, the doodles everyone makes keeps the place somewhat lively

[@jozdrawsinprada]

Definitely see a lot of random, silly doodles just walking to the kitchen 😂.

[@jiasolia]

Being an art director is my dream position!! I'm grateful for this video because its not something I see often, even at art school!

[@erenyaeger2320]

I love, love, LOVE the ressurgence of old style Vlogs on youtube so much!

[@Etivla]

leadership positions feel so alien to me as a student, I've always been so curious what they really are like!!! How cool.

[@tepigfan7169]

as someone who is trying to break into the industry as a story artist I find it so nice to get to see these vlog style day in the life videos from people actually in the industry xD

[@meloowl2]

I absolutely loved the aesthetic of your vlog, you're also gorgeous, being a designer now and watching someone working in a company I've wanted to work before feels so amazing, keep up with the good work!

[@jozdrawsinprada]

Thanks for the kind words! Glad you enjoyed the vlog 🙂.

[@dbod4248]

The lizard was so funny cause in Spanish, push-ups translates to “lagartijas” and “lagartijas” literally means LIZARDS

[@jozdrawsinprada]

@@dbod4248 Haha no way! Can't believe the Spanish speakers never pulled that joke out at work.

[@JiroHarker]

Loved this vlog! I've always wondered what the people I'd see in the credits of every show I watched were doing, so this was a nice piece of the puzzle to have :) Thank you!

[@UniflixmediaChannel]

Cool video! Love seeing what it's like behind the scenes of one of my favorite shows as a kid.

[@SubtleProvisions]

Great stuff and love seeing what other creatives are up with their daily routine. I'm also surprised Nickelodeon allows vlogging in their studio. I work for ILM here in Vancouver and they're very strict about these things.

[@jozdrawsinprada]

Every studio has different policies! Nick films inside the studio for their social media as well.

[@emiliospinazzola3617]

Super informative !! I can't wait to see more vlogs ! I like the vibe

[@1024tahsin]

2:57 his line of work is insane. rugrats was part of my childhood growing up 😭

[@gavingranado2146]

I saw someone make a silly joke about an art director being a "professional vibe checker". Oh god I laughed so hard at it. It even got that Gala Winnie the Pooh in a suit meme on it.

[@luishoc]

Dave reminds me of the realistic version of homer simpson. It must be great to have so fun coworkers to be around :3

[@goatpepperherbaltea7895]

Lol he does kind of look like normal realistic homer

idk why the algorimth brought me here my mom told me if i watched nickelodeon i was going to hell

[@jozdrawsinprada]

Bow down to the almighty algorithm.

[@NoisesofArchitecture]

Haha what ? 😂

[@sEaSoNaLMiLk]

LMAO. My best friend across the street’s mom was like that. She didn’t get to do Halloween either. NO Harry Potter. Our teacher read the first book to us when it came out and she sat out in the hall. My parents didn’t feel that way even though we grew up in the same church. Thankfully. But what I did have to deal with was DAVE RAMSEY. So we didn’t have cable for most of my childhood. Not a lot of Nickelodeon for me either.

[@JohnDaleski]

This video was so inspiring, thank you!

[@Quesadillius]

I gotta say, Rugrats was fun when I left at season 2 and it was even better when I came back and you were there!!! I really hope we work together again gurl!

[@DQ_ArtGroupie]

If I would change anything about you guys' office, I'd make the elevator voice saying "going down" sound more cheerful. It almost sounds like she's saying she's FEELING down, or like people should be sad to be leaving the office for the day. I'll bet the "going UP" is recorded with an optimistic-sounding rising inflexion, like people should be excited to be arriving at the office to start their workday.

[@jozdrawsinprada]

I think the voice comes with the elevator. Another comment said their office also has the same voice. The things you learn about elevators!
