Interview with Ridley Scott – Insights Into the Process of Storytelling
This week, I found a great resource for those who are interested in learning more about the process of creative storytelling. Fox Searchlight arranged an interview with director Ridley Scott for a few of their interns where he shared his thoughts and experiences on how he goes about creating a filmed work. For myself, I found this informal talk with the renowned director of such films as “Blade Runner” and “Alien” (can you tell I’m a sci-fi fan?) to be both a source of inspiration and knowledge for my work as a writer/director for the internet drama series I also co-produce, “Star Trek: Unity“. Of course, I think Sir Ridley Scott’s presentation would be of great interest to anyone who wishes to learn more about how he approaches directing the films he’s made, if not the creative process of bringing a story to life.
The interview is split into four parts, all of which I’ve embedded into this entry for easy viewing.
NOTE: The interview features some coarse language during the course of the conversation.
