Spielberg on STORYBOARDING

I've found some more footage of Spielberg discussing his 'pre-visualization' phase of storyboarding on 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' for British TV. Plus an old Q&A from the Cinema Dome in 2013 where he discusses the footage that follows- Harrison Ford dismissing his storyboards on the set!
Following that is some 'Jurassic Park' boards then some good footage of Spielberg evolving his process from boarding to CG pre-viz on 'War of the Worlds'.

when I saw that ad from werner herzog masterclass saying storyboards takes away the creativity, that filmmaking isn't accounting and it's for cowards. I disagree, this is a great example on how storyboard/previs importance to a film's time, budget and even allows room for creativity. Storyboards are not set in stone, they're a road map, and a foundation to visualize the script. It makes sense since Herzog is a great documentary filmmaker, that type of film making allows spontaneous and natural progression of it's subject. It still surprises me to find that some big budget films were shot without using storyboarding, and films still goes over time and budget and countless amounts of reshoots without a proper preparation at the start, rather than relying on the editors to work their way out at the end. nice channel by the way.

I took the class. Herzog also railed against shooting excessive coverage in the hopes that the editor will make the scene work, so his thinking is more in line with this approach than may at first be apparent.

Harrison: I'm gonna get some mustard

12:24 Those pre-viz claymation animations for Jurassic park are awesome! Must have been somewhat normal before CGI pre-vis was practical
