Treasure Island Ridley Scott Hugh Jackman
Ridley Scott is preparing to film his next movie titled Treasure Island, with Hugh Jackman cast in the lead role. The director has completed approximately half of the storyboarding process for the project, creating visuals with a level of detail comparable to sophisticated comics. He mentions drawing locations he has not visited while attributing his drawing skills to training at West Hartley Art College. Scott also notes that multi-camera setups allow editors to choose cuts from simultaneous captures. He claims he prefers two or three takes over many more, arguing excessive takes indicate uncertainty. He asserts he knows where to place cameras due to his visual acumen. #RidleyScott

I want to talk about how the movie was shot. It was quite unfair of your cinematographer on Gladiator 2 to, I think he called it lazy. Multi-camera is an editor can just join all the ends of the scene, watch the whole thing, then make a choice where he cuts. So if there's ever an error, it's all captured simultaneously. It's easier for a very experienced editor. Well, actually, it's better all around. By having multi-camera, I'd maybe do two or three takes, not 15. Some people do 40 takes. If you're doing 40 takes, you don't really know what you want. stupidest thing you could possibly have said. Because I use a multi-camera, I'm lazy. You've got to know where to put them. I'm blessed with a very good eye. I'm doing Treasure Island now, and I'm casting. I'm already storyboarding. I've already halfway through Treasure Island, knowing exactly what I'm going to do, because I draw storyboards like a quite sophisticated comic. Locations I haven't seen, I just draw them. I'm filming on paper. So thanks to West Hartley, but Art College taught me everything.
