Closer Than We Think | Complete Syd Mead Interview | Retrofuturism

In May 2016 we recorded an hour long interview with
legendary visual futurist Syd Mead for the documentary
Closer Than We Think.
Mr. Mead covers topics as broad as his work on an aborted live action The Jetsons, his work with U.S. Steel, and his opinions on self-driving cars and current consumer electronics.
This is one of the last interviews he recorded before he died on December 30th 2019.
We miss you Syd.

83 years old and still had a lively spirit inside him. It's like talking with a person in his thirties. This man lived a good life.

Yep, didn't seem to fade as he aged cognitively/creatively.

If you guys like jets, check out Great Fighter Jets of the Galaxy 1 by Tim Gibson. Futuristic jets, military aviation, tons of neat aircraft. It's my favorite book.
