Steven Spielberg On Storyboarding (1978)

Ойын-сауық

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.

    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!

    "...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.

    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.

    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.
