I love how you used the images to make this very cool, and the rollercoaster, very clever.

Very cool, great editing!

It looks like you were living the movie!

That's what I was thinking while watching this. I haven't seen the movie (want to) but made the correlation just by watching the trailer. Could be wrong. I see the dilemma between traveling so much and disconnecting with your family/life in favor of work. =\

Nice. Reminds me of the "Victor in Europe" sequence in Roger Avary's "Rules of Attraction", sans narration.

Is that the shuttle at MCO?

Wow, that is impressive. How come that we didn't get to interview Jason Reitman? I mean, were they really all press? Really? If so, kudos for making movies anyways. Besides, great ones that is!

Yeah couldn't help notice the high ratio of thin attractive chicks to overweight unattractive guys. Makes this video nausea-inducing on two levels.

Loved Up In the Air however!

I wish I believed in God, so I could thank God for Jason Reitman. I eagerly await your next Vimeo submission, your next feature film, and your next interview with Elvis.

Very interesting idea and very cool. Soundtrack fit well too.
Kenton Bartlett 2 years ago

That was exhausting to watch, but it's been great reading all the interviews you've been doing and following the progress on Twitter. I hope you take care and rest up after everything winds down. Thanks for documenting everything.

(P.S. - I listened to your 2 hour podcast interview on an airplane)

Pure genius! Love the use of "Janie Jones." Good luck at the award shows. You deserve it. "Up in the Air" is fantastic!

Jason, welcome to Vimeo, we're glad you're here.

Mr. Reitman, I am truly amazed that anyone can survive the gauntlet you have been through let alone remain coherent throughout. I wondered when the picture would show up that you took of Peter Sciretta and Alex Billington while they interviewed you at the Telluride film festival. May you and the cast and crew of UITA have the best of luck with BAFTA, Golden Globes, Writers Guild, Directors Guild, Producers Guild, SAG, and the Academy.

Jason, I love that you took time to record these moments, then compress them into one bite-size piece. That's the foresight of an eternal filmmaker.

Cute video. A visual version of what many boomers used to memorialize their classmates in grade school, the autograph book. :)
Henrique de Sousa 2 years ago

Nice video! Always cool to see a snippet of what it is to be living the life (no matter how tiresome it gets, it must be a total dream).
Can't wait to see Up in the Air!

Great short, shoot this on your iphone? Good luck with the Oscars..

I would be so fat after a tour like that. The Starbucks, the pizza....loved in god we trust by the way, "lets make smoothies!"

the wonderful life of a film director. saw all your films can't wait for your next project.
Jeremy Saville 2 years ago

You had fucking Giordano's Pizza! I love that stuff. (No pun intended.) So these are the perks I'm looking forward to on my press tour. Keep up the great work, Jason! Saw JK in the Baskin Robbins he said he's only in one scene from this one, keep up the great work. I look forward to working with you soon. Since you liked "Letting Go" so long ago, I thought you might dig this one... vimeo.com/5594837

What was the name of the song? Is it The Clash?
Richard Cameron White 2 years ago

hahaha this is a great idea. I saw a couple interviews with you where you were taking a picture of the interviewer. It all makes sense now Jason it all makes sense.
