  • the guy that was asking the question was BORAT lol.

  • 1, 2, 4 ok I see 7 borats in the audience.

  • 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

  • I love that steven spielberg sounds like he does now as he did back in 1978

  • 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 :)

  • @MrSkinnynerd03 ...greetings from a fellow animation student.

  • @TomVCunningham lmao! *High 5*

  • Fab historic video Spielberg on Storyboarding. Thanks for uploading!

  • Freddie Mercury attended AFI?

  • the cuboids are now in super 8!

  • oh he is so adorable.

  • Borat 00:13

  • 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!

  • 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...

  • omg....Everyone has such epic 70's hair...

  • Thisi is the first time ever I saw Spielberg with no beard...

  • Did he say that George Jetson was his illustrator?

  • the guy who asks the question looks like ben stiller with a schnauzer

  • roman polanski is a cho mo, i dont care what he does for a living,and running off to france just proves it, his movies should be banned,i guess the french like child molesters, he is a sick man who thought because he makes movies he is intitled to have sex with kids ,ban his movies.

  • Oh what a cute baby face. Our heroes are growing up. I love the way he describes the 10,000 lights, you almost believe they did that. Real commitment to the story is how it gets made. These characters are real but need a way to come to life, which is through the making of a movie. How frustrating it is to have the characters roaming around in your head with no way out, except to become a movie. LOL

  • He looks so beautiful in this video >:D

  • I'v been into filmmaking my whole life and this guy is my hero. Whenever he starts talking I'm instantly inspired.

  • The scene he was describing about the cuboids. Is possible today.

    People moan about CGI. Who wouldn't want to see the scene made a reality?

  • My top 3 best directors are 1 Kubrick , 2 Polanski , 3 Spilberg , sorry Steven you just make to mutch fairy tales

  • @F1brawfa Thank You for putting Stanley Kubrick up their. He deserved an oscar. Truly a good director. :D

  • I hate storyboarding. I mean it's handy to look through on set but any director should know his/her vision without having to look at paperwork to remember what it is.

  • I'm too meticulous to storyboard. 

  • Good detail here into Spielberg's storyboarding process

  • 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.

  • 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

  • @Casarzino Andrew Yule's biography paints Spielberg as a venal, two-faced piece of worthless money-grubbing shit.

    Actually, he's worse than a typical Jew. He's like Madoff - he even fucks over fellow Jews for money. Or abandons them to their fate. As executive producer on Twilight Zone - The Movie he literally hid from director John Landis after they killed two illegally hired kids and Vic Morrow.

    Lucky for Landis Hollywood's other Jews could pull the strings and let him get away with murder.

  • made a short movie for school (2min) and I need to get as much views as possible, the more views the higher the grade and if you have any constructive critisism on how I can approve please do click my name to check it out

  • I think I see Michael Bay in the far corner trying to pop a firework

  • O tamanho do oculos do cara! uol

  • I wonder how many famous directors of today were in that audience...

  • STEVEN SPIELBERG IS SO AWESOME:)

  • Where's the beard?

  • what a nerd steven spielberg is. I just want to beat him up

  • The nerds are taking over the world!! Bill Gates, et al.

  • I think the last minute of this is the best (maybe only) justification I have ever heard for CGI. There were ideas Spielberg had in the '70s that he simply could not do because they were cost prohibitive.

  • 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.

  • @agfagaevart Wow, over here is the point I made, and then over there about 800 miles away is how far you missed it. What do you mean "not really." Spielberg said there were things he wanted to do that were cost prohibitive. CGI lowers those costs. That's a pretty straightforward syllogism. I'm a little flustered by how badly you missed my point and Spielberg's. There are things Spielberg WANTED TO DO that were cost prohibitive.

  • "...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.

  • @agfagaevart I don't mean to be insulting, and I would love to have an actual conversation about CGI vs. other special effects. But your comments are just too dumb to respond to. One can do ANYTHING with CGI, right? No, nevermind. You've demonstrated twice now that you don't understand the conversation at all (starting with the fact that you think that I'm advocating for CGI even though I said that what Spielberg said was the FIRST TIME I've heard a good reason). This just isn't productive.

  • @agfagaevart By the way what do you mean "his two big hits"? E.T. and Jurassic Park are his two biggest hits.

  • 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 I know what you're trying to say, and I'd like to have a conversation with you. What you're saying isn't wrong, it just isn't very interesting. (And what's irritating is that you are saying it as though I'm saying something different.)

    Let me say my point explicitly. This was obvious from what I said but I didn't say it outright. I HATE CGI. I think CGI has ruined movies. After 20 years of CGI ruining movies, what Spielberg said here is the first time I have ever heard . . .

  • @agfagaevart a good reason to use CGI--that it would be cost prohibitive to do it otherwise. Coming from a director like Spielberg, that has far more weight than from anyone else.

    Your point about CGI not always being good isn't wrong, I just don't see what your POINT is. ESPECIALLY when we're talking about Spielberg. I think one can safely assume that whatever Spielberg imagines doing would be good. Lucas is and always has been garbage. . . .

  • @agfagaevart Ep. V and VI were good because he left them to professionals to write and direct. The reason Ep. I, II, III sucked had nothing to do with CGI, it's because Lucas is a terrible writer and director. What you're saying isn't wrong, I just can't for the life of me figure out what you are trying to tell me that isn't already obvious.

  • Steven Spielberg is one of the most amazing directors of our time! Long live him and his composer John Williams!

  • I wonder what borat guy did with his life afterall....

  • Hitchcock was the first to be really anal retentive about storyboarding because he wanted the studio to see the boards, greenlight them, and then hold them to that when he started shooting so they would not interfere with the vision agreed upon.

  • Kinda glad that he no longer has that mullet.

  • who are all theses guys asking questions?
