the american film institute (AFI) just launched a new video portal on afi.com featuring hundreds of videos from its vast archives. the collection will be regularly augmented with videos selected from the AFI archive, which contains 10.000 hours of material produced during AFI’s 42 year history, much of which has never been seen by the general public. not to miss great clips such as “alfred hitchcock on mastering cinematic tension” or “steven spielberg: admires animators”
steven spielberg came to AFI in 1978 for a seminar with AFI fellows. in this clip he talks about how he admires the previsualization skills of animators.
“i think all directors should be animators first, because you really can take the imagination to become something tangible, something you can hold in your hand, and say:
“can you see this?
no?!
well, i can…
and then you make that, make that happen…“
