      Spielberg's a superb visualist, coaxes compelling performances out of actors, is great with camera movement and editing tempo. This makes his films a natural for Williams' music. The images cut together in a fluid, flowing way already have a lift and a rythm. It's a matter of filling in the right notes. Williams is the note God.

    always get a kick when John sort of downplays the Superman movie as something that's tongue in cheek, and not taking itself too seriously - and yet from the opening moment we see the Planet Krypton, John blows us away with music of such profound majesty and sublime beauty that we know we are entering a world of music and film making that is truly extraordinary

    Writing music for film is truly an outer worldly experience for both composers and film makers. I studied the former and then the latter and the 'wow' factor when both picture and music sync up is better than any orgasm.

    @MissFawlty Před 6 lety +5

    What I find so interesting about these videos is that you often see a connection among great artists. The way John Williams and Hans Zimmer score a father-son/daughter relationship, for example, is premised on the same criterion (intimacy within a broader framework), but their respective concepts of intimacy are so, so different, yet equally moving. This to me demonstrates the universal nature of music, whereby different styles can convey the same concept in light of our shared humanity. I really enjoy these videos, thank you.

  • @vinayseth1114
    @vinayseth1114 Před 7 lety +2

    Interesting to get to hear about the life and experiences of a composer. I think that when we think of musicians today, what immediately springs to mind is the image of young people playing in bands. We often forget about musicians who've had to struggle over years to reach their pinnacle of success, because that's what their work requires them to. It's really nice to get to hear of people who persevered over time to achieve their success (not saying that the young folks in bands didn't work hard!).

Turning this into a comparison pertaining to personal development if we can all strive to be the maestro in our own lives and just maybe... generate the happiness and prosperity equating to the wonders of the perfect orchestra of life! Keep up the great work Evan and team.

    He's absolutely right that there is no "eureka!" moment. There's one piano sonata I wrote in college that got one or two notes tweaked every time I listened to it for 2+ years after I had "finished" it. I've also heard composers such as Williams and Zimmer say that some of their disappointments have been the director's favorites; or people like Jay Z and Eminem who have said they're still disappointed in some of their most famous works. Music touches all of us in different ways.

    When 6 year old kis in New Zealand want me to teach them to play Hedwigs Theme, Superman Theme and Star Wars Theme on guitar, John Williams gets my attention. As far as generations of filmgoers are concerned, John Williams is the composer, orchestrator and conductor of this century. Thank you for the great video Evan. This is the first of yours I have seen. And far from the last.
    22:53
    Interesting thing about that (humming the Indiana Jones Theme) a very simple little sequence of notes, 23:01 but I spend more time on those little bits of musical grammar, to get them just right 23:08 so that they seem inevitable, seem like they've always been there, they're so simple, and 23:12
    I don't know how many permutations I will go through with six-note motif like that, one note down, one note up and 23:18 spend a lot of time on these little simplicities, which are often the hardest things to capture, I think for anybody.
    What do I like about this quote? The insight into the time he spends on motifs, melodic contour permutations and little simplicities. Genius.

    There is NOBODY like John Williams! Yes its movie soundtracks but he belongs besides the greats of all time, Bach, Beethoven, etc. Wow. I still get moved even to tears from these musical masterpieces. True Genius. That word is reserved for people like for this guy. Spielberg is right, none of his films would be nearly as powerful without the magic of Johnny Williams. We are so blessed by this man's contribution to the world.

      @jameseverett4976 Před 4 měsíci +1

      I noticed that he is almost always trying to explain that there's no magic in it, just long hard work, redoing things, adjusting them gradually, over & over, until it get's close enough to offer it to the producer, then he says it's still never perfect, and you always think you can do better.
      Most good artists respond this way when they get the 'awe and wonder' or "how do you do it" from an interviewer, because it's really an attempt to say "it must be so easy for YOU" as if to excuse everyone who doesn't want to work long hours at something with no assurance that anything will come of it. Most people cannot fathom risking sitting by a blank canvas until they work out something they never could have just imagined right off the bat.
      JW is always trying to say "I can't do magic either: that's why I have to spend so much time fussing with it, throwing away 1 idea after another, until something seems to maybe have potential, then I explore that idea, keep changing parts of it, sometimes going back & forth between 2 things I can't decide on....there's no magic, only what comes after long struggle and experimentation. Have you ever actually tried this process of wrestling with possibilities that don't look like anything good yet? And staying with it until something starts to seem viable?"
      He also noted how simple so many of the main themes are, and yet how much adjustment and fumbling went into them. But no matter how many times he tries to lay it out as something that anyone with a willingness to spend the time at it, can do, the audience still prefers to walk away with their canned "awe & wonder" response, and preserve their "only special artistic people can do it" philosophy, so they'll never have to consider their own potential.

    I've always loved Mr. Williams's scores. From Superman and Jaws to all of the Star Wars films and beyond. I also think" Born on the 4th of July" should have been included in the top ten list of his film scores. Schindler's List was by far the most touching. At 88 years young, I believe he still has some mileage left. God bless you, sir!

    Great video. John Williams is not only a composer but a super human being. For me, numbers 1,6,8 all go together. I think in reality, if you have a goal as complex as the composing of movie scores, or developing a lifelong career or profession, and you start picking out "favorite" numbers, you start putting in your mind, they are more important, than others, when in fact the whole 10 rules bind each other together in a cohesive unit. Like in a structure called a Truss, you remove one part, and the whole truss can fail. This video is a great roadmap to follow.......

    A wonderful compilation, and a great deal of fun. Thank you!
    Irrespective of creative genius, Hollywood star quality, or Whatever- I personally feel Steven Spielberg one of the most charismatic individuals I have now been seeing on CZcams videos. My first exposure to this was watching Watch the Skies! -a hour long documentary on 1950s movie Sci-fi. His descriptions of filling the bathtubs with water as a young person during The Cuban Missile Crisis while his parents went to a party was especially endearing.
    Spielberg's comments of Jaws owing a great deal to Maestro Williams' score for the success of the movie I definitely agree with. I am reminded of an interview with Bela Lugosi, Jr. in which he describes going to movies as a kid with friends. They would get uncomfortable while watching Bela's scary films, but to his son "I wasn't scared at All- it was my father up there on the screen."
    I thought of that during my research of when Jaws first came to the theaters in the mid-1970s, once the movie theater audience would hear that shark theme, frequently there would be people who would get up and leave. It was just too darn SCARY!

True greatness is seen here by John Williams, speaking humbly, wise life lessons, filled with stories of his musical creations, from interviews, events, and the movies John Williams has brought to life.
    Steven Spielberg certainly credits his career-long friend with bringing his films heart and story to a masterful musical themes that are not forgotten, that billions of viewer's hearts have been kissed.
    In your video, Steven Spielberg said,
    “Without John Williams bikes don’t really fly…
    there is no force… dinosaurs do not walk the earth...
    we do not wonder, we do not weep, we do not believe”

    "Maybe we shouldn't shoot for the stars. Maybe we should find joy in every simple task we're given." rang true with me. I thought I'd be the next Steven Spielberg, until I was given the chance to direct short scenes of children performing at a local arts academy level, and I found it a bit overwhelming. The kids were great, willing to learn, but they were not professional actors, and I was handed a script on the day, told to "go get 'em", went right into filming with no rehearsal time or time for me to grasp what the material was about, had to have the scene shot in 3-4 hours when the kids' parents would pick them up. Now I'm finding pleasure and enjoying some financial success in shooting and submitting video clips to agencies like Shutterstock and Pond 5. I can work at my own leisurely pace and capture whatever I want, how I want. I'm delighted when a clip sells.

He certainly creates greatness, without question, but I found that the most compelling and inspiring points within this video are his macro view of life and the journey of finding the joys within it, inspiring others, and by always reaching toward a higher plane. It's truly amazing to hear him, a seasoned veteran of a significant life and career, talk with such humility, sincerity, and genuinity that makes him one of my personal unmet heroes within my life.
