    How many do you know? I've only watched two of the movies these are from, but I guessed/knew about 10.

    Before I knew what a director was, I knew who Steven Spielberg was. I believe that this is partially due to the fact that Spielberg has crafted some of the most iconic shots in all of cinema. Many filmmakers have that one signature shot that will forever solidify them in film history-- Spielberg has dozens. This video showcases the work of Steven Spielberg in 30 memorable shots, one from each of his full-length films. From something as magical as a silhouetted bicycle streaking across the moon, to something as simple as tiny ripples in a cup of water, this is Steven Spielberg.

      thanks for this and this channel. I've been going through them in order and most of them are really great meditations on a theme. They'd be kind of cool projected on a wall for a party :)

      the close-ups are especially great and well-curated https://vimeo.com/124258143

        I need to be at your kind of party! Most of my friends would probably find it an odd curiosity, not much more.

          i used to throw house/apartment parties (80+ in a relatively small space) and i’d project fireworks, milkdrop, planet earth, etc across the ceiling all stretched out and flooding the space. it makes for a good at-home-club environment.

          for this, i’d have it taking up a wall and not distorted.

            I did this once for a party, with the film Koyaanisqatsi. Wish I was in a position to do more parties like that because it was a super fun time and the projection really made for some cool vibes.
