Tom 5,142 Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Williams seems much more energetic in the last couple of little interviews we have seen. That is great to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thx99 1,874 Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Excellent Mari, thanks for sharing!! That ET recording sessions footage is a perennial favorite of mine, having captivated my 10-year old self back in 1982. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLUMENKOHL 1,081 Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 I think the E.T. experiment in the video illustrates why film music has gotten so backgroundy. With today's visual and audio technology, a lot of what the music was doing there could be achieved visually. Neat tribute though! And fantastic advice from John Williams himself about the importance of getting something, anything down on paper, and then refining and iterating. It applies to virtually every field. Creative, technical, physical. Sharkissimo and Incanus 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,431 Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 I agree.You need a course and heavy slab of stone, if you want ever to hew and chissle a statue of David. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharkissimo 1,974 Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Trees probably sponsor him every time he name drops them. Code 000. Destruct. 0. and Incanus 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incanus 5,818 Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Trees probably sponsor him every time he name drops them.Most others would find themselves confined to a comfy padded cell when they start talking about trees whispering to them. In an artist's case people just think he is his adorable eccentric artistic self.THE TREES MADE ME DO IT! Mari 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indy4 155 Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Lol is he British? Used the word "bloody"But I agree he seemed really energetic. Great video! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Mark 3,729 Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Wow, ABC is allowing me to watch it from Canada, they must have forgot to flip the region restriction switchAnd there we have it confirmed , Trees are the most inspiring things to JW, so the answer to "most genuine piece" has to be about trees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KK 3,308 Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 He seems more high-spirited and energetic in this interview than a lot of his recent ones. Nice!Thanks for sharing!And with all this talk of trees, Williams should have scored The Happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Skywalker 1,941 Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 If Williams had composed LOTR, Treebeard's theme would have been the greatest theme ever written . The Woodland realm being the highlight of his Hobbit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donna Lackluster 23 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 If it takes 82 years and 221 music credits on imdb, I doubt I ever want to be "person of the week" on ABC. Joni Wiljami 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creative, technical, physical.Yeah I do that in news writing. I jot down the crappiest article imaginable longhand and then type it and refine it before filing it to the editor, who neurotically tinkers with it until he thinks it's ready for the publish button.

nightscape94 966 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Stephen King always said the same thing about writing novels, or writing in general. Something every day. Keeps the creative juices flowing and prevents stagnation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koray Savas 2,254 Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Hemingway was similar. His method consisted of writing every day but never writing too much. Stop at your high points and pick up where you left off later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Train Station 8,775 Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 And think of your best stuff in the loo or the shower when you don't have a pen and paper around. Or a tablet or whatever kids are using these days. Reminds me of Three Men and a Baby when Tom Sellick had a phone installed in the shower.
