  • Steven Spielberg came to the AFI Conservatory in 1978 for a seminar with AFI Fellows. In this clip he talks about how he approaches storyboarding.
    Interestingly enough, the young man asking the question is Bob Mandel, former Dean of the AFI Conservatory.

    This proves a point that i make to my students (I teach drawing and storyboarding too) that a great director is a communicator. He will even hand some of his expression to someone else in his talent pool (to an artist, in this example) for the end goal of getting what he imagines on the screen.

    He's my favorite film director because he makes "fairy tales", I'm always gonna be a kid at heart.

    it was one of these videos that REALLY set it in stone for me to become a filmmaker, when Speilberg said, "i want every director to be an animator first".....well currently in college for animation :)

    He kinda remembers me of young Steve Jobs the way he communicates very complex ideas in a simple way as if they prepared their whole life for the answer

    I can't do storyboarding. I usually find the shot on scene since the visuals come so easy to me, but it does help a lot of people.

    sure he looks a bit nerdy here, but damnit he is as great with words then as he is now.. a great communicator, lots of respect for him, he's one of my personal heroes

    @Asta1240 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    Ya you have to determine the character's appearance as the first step. First in your head, and after on paper. And you gonna change some of them and make more detail, untill its all makes sence and are perfect. It's all worth it!
    Ps. I Wanna Be A Director When I Grow Ups. Steven Spielberg is my role model!

  • @agfagaevart
    @agfagaevart 14 ปีที่แล้ว

    I am just having a conversation with you, that is all. What I meant was, his too big hits, up to the point when the video was made. The first point I made was this, (without calling you any names) sometimes a director can have a vision of what they want to portray onscreen. But, sometimes once it has been filmed, they realise that it doesn't work, so the scene is removed. As we've seen with the new Star wars films. Being able to do anything because of CGI, isn't great.

  • @agfagaevart
    @agfagaevart 14 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    "...CGI lowers those costs...." This is not always true, and It can depend on which effects house you use. ILM would cost a fortune obviously. And if you go somewhere cheaper, the effects may not be convincing. Sometimes it IS cost effective to do things for real, that depends upon the budget.
    BTW: Speilberg went OVER BUDGET on his two big hits JAWS and CE3K. That's probably why he couldn't afford to do certain things in the movie.

    Spielberg answered the question off-the-cuff as a professional as a young turk --six months storyboarding on thousands of drawings that are just thrown away...

    Is it me, or does young Speilberg sound like a J.J. Abrams whom doesn't stutter?

  • @agfagaevart
    @agfagaevart 14 ปีที่แล้ว

    Not really. Just because you are able to create something for a film, doesn't mean that it will work in the film. CE3K Is great as it was made.
    Speilberg didn't even want to do the Special Edition in 1980.

    Anyone else feel like Steven Spielberg has looked the same for the past twenty years? Like if it weren't for his voice you'd almost think this is a different guy. I dunno its just wierd- the transition between this Spielberg and, well, Spielberg just seems nonexistent

  • @Angryconsumernerd
    @Angryconsumernerd 10 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Man I would love to see close encounters shot again with modern CGI and high res filming ...if there was ever a film that needs a remake it's Close Encounters

    • @c.duncansutherland8347
      @c.duncansutherland8347 10 ปีที่แล้ว +15

      I respectfully disagree. All of the "in camera" special effects that were shot would have lost their warmth and originality filtered through the mechanism of CGI.

    • @Angryconsumernerd
      @Angryconsumernerd 9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It just looks really aged now . When I mean remade I mean exact same movie only high res ..better special effects and done by Speilberg

    • @CINAMASTER1
      @CINAMASTER1 9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That would ruin the movie. You never touch a great film. Just because the effects aren't like they are today doesn't mean there not great. The fact that their out dated makes the movie more magical
