Say what you will about him otherwise, but George Lucas is one of the true masters of cinematic audio.

[@diegodelgado9764]

Yes dont let him touch the dialogue tho

[@hs4974]

I mean, he mixed the film, he wasn't a sound designer. Still an important and difficult job, but it involves balancing dialogue, sound effects and soundtrack. Its the same with star wars, he wasn't really responsible for the amazing sound design. That was Ben Burtt. Who no one talks about, because they are too busy praising george lucas.

What people don't realize is that Steven Spielberg George Lucas John Milius Brian Depalma And Francis Coppola Have all been best friends since they graduated together from USC film school. They've all worked on each others' movies for decades, usually uncredited, because they're just buddies making movies together.

[@mneri84]

Spielberg went to csu Long Beach and Brian DePalma went to Columbia. Lucas met Coppola through an internship. While they didn’t all attend usc together, they surely have been friends and a collective source of craftsmanship throughout the decades.

I had no idea George Lucas helped make Jurassic Park in any degree. Pretty cool!

[@RoxStar1968]

Lucas was so impressed with the final production that he was convinced he could do the prequels.

[@gagerupard7415]

Lucas had so much involvement with Cinema history, but it's all tainted with the Hate for selling out to Disney and the prequels, which imo are almost perfect for what he was gling for and that times technology. The amount of stuff that was invented or was the base or what is used today came from the OG trilogy. There is only 1 scene that has CGI in it and it's like 3 seconds. Everything else is real and can be touched physically

[@johnassal5838]

Even more surpsing that Kathleen Kennedy was Co producer and "in charge" of finishing it. She actually has mad production skills but clearly cannot be the main or sole creative force because she simply doesn't have what a Spielberg, Lucas, etc bring. unfortunately her ego seems to disagree. tbh Lucas is almost as bad when left unfettered. he more than most does his best work while struggling under constraints of time, budget or oversight. otherwise he doesn't act with discipline and over stuffs the production. look at the difference between ep 4 and Empire vs the prequels to see what I mean.

[@PhantomFilmAustralia]

Makes a huge difference when you give a producer the driving force in creative control.

[@highrpmproductions]

Poltergeist was his movie. He wrote it and helped direct it and was always on set collaborating with Tobe Hooper. Just like when George Lucas didn't direct Empire and Jedi, he was still in charge calling the shots and letting the director set up the shots that George wanted.

I notice that you didn't actually name any of these films or provide any proof that she was the deciding factor as to whether these films were made. So, which of these great films would objectively not have happened without her? Just because she contributed to some of them doesn't mean that if she wasn't there they wouldn't have happened. There are plenty of other producers around. She hasn't received an Oscar for best picture. From my perspective the only stuff that she was actually in charge of was crap.

Jurassic Park is a solid rollercoaster ride and a pretty nice technical breakthrough ... but Schindler's List is a near Masterpiece short of some typical Spielbergian over-sentimentalizing.

​@@CosmicTeapotyour favorite movie is probably produced by Kathleen Kennedy.

[@CosmicTeapot]

@@DyadintheForce Who cares? She hasn't written or directed anything. Venerating a producer for their films is like venerating a book publisher for the books they've sold. That's not where the quality comes from. The only talent a producer needs to have is the ability to successfully delegate the jobs to actually talented and creative people. But I don't expect a reaction youtuber such as yourself to be able to understand where artistic value resides, you morons are the world champions of piggybacking on other people's talent without contributing anything of real value.
