Syd Mead & Craig Hodgetts in Conversation

A SCI-Arc Cinema Series conversation between Craig Hodgetts and Syd Mead celebrating the publication of the book The Movie Art of Syd Mead: Visual Futurist. Craig and Syd probe the sources, processes and preoccupations that have resulted in Mead’s hand-drawn renderings, which, in this day of digital imagery, astonish with their masterful handling of light, form and atmosphere.

Brilliant designer and artist. Such an inspiration.

[@user-de7yt1mo5l]

Thank You SCI-arc, you have given me many covers about artists I love!!

[@abdulelahqutub]

This is man is massively underrated

[@metatron5199]

💯 one of the best illustrators and draftsman to ever do it!

[@dougg1075]

No he’s never been underrated

[@metatron5199]

edy Puentes hey be as closed minded as you like as the arts are a wide a far ranging discipline. If you don’t think he is one of the best that’s fine, but you most certainly have your argument cut out for you to justify such a weak position. Quite literally this guy created a style that would be emulated and copied for decades to come and still are till this day, so history would also disagree with you on that note as well....

[@metatron5199]

Doug G not by anyone who actually is in the drawing community but on a much larger scale most people haven’t a clue who he is...

[@dougg1075]

Such a smart cool guy. He was

[@diaquallo]

Like juice wrld

[@ryanfo2l]

Wow. I didn’t know much about this guy until I read a post today about his passing but listening to this interview, I’m astounded by how articulate he is and how much I’ve learned about art, filmmaking & visualisation. Phenomenal and for me very useful in my development. A little bit annoyed about my ignorance of people like this in the world hope I can discover more

[@dougg1075]

Pmbot life is always learning

[@mzoe12]

Syd Mead is a genius. Syd Mead video binging rn.

[@diaquallo]

Rip my favorite gundam artist

[@mahdiyarmozaffarjalali5352]

I wish he had a conversation with Lebbeus Woods.

[@laylowstaylow]

Knowledge plays a major role in concept design, but that's a lot of Sci-Fi movies are lacking...

[@JasonZhangS]

Showing respect for the giant. Craig invited him to UCLA's IDEAS campus to give us a lecture on his design concept for future transportation back in 2014 while we are working on prototyping the Hyperloop systems. He was a true optimist when it comes to future technology, such a shame we couldn't furfill his vision at this day.

[@kathleenbachayjenson8924]

I agree. SUPER HEROS NEVER DIE......love his stories.

[@Illumirage]

by punk he means 'steampunk'?

[@nervedown666]

FO shoe!
