This post is essentially an homage to director Ridley Scott. While I'm not much into being a fan, I felt it important to know more about how Mr. Scott works and what he's done after watching "Robin Hood" last night. The movie "Robin Hood" didn't do well in theaters unfortunately. But another of his pieces -- "Gladiator" -- did and is one of my all-time favorites as well.
Mr. Scott's attention to detail and his artistic vision are consistently eye-catching. And he has a talent for tying into larger, cultural themes subtly. There's also a grittiness to the movie "Robin Hood" that adds to its charm.
Below Ridley Scott talks about
...how he’s found locations, envisioned scenes within them, and used drawings to build those scenes, Scott offers an insight into the look and feel of his own work and useful advice to fellow creators, whether or not they work in a visual medium... -- Open Culture, "Ridley Scott Demystifies the Art of Storyboarding (and How to Jumpstart Your Creative Project) "

Oh, and in 1973 Mr. Scott directed a commercial for Hovis bread that you may enjoy. This version was published by The Ad Show.
