REAL STORY A film director sitting in a canvas chair on a movie set. Around her: a cinematographer adjusting a camera, a sound engineer with a boom mic, a lighting technician on a ladder. She's pointing and coordinating. Nobody does two jobs.

A film director sitting in a canvas chair on a movie set. Around her: a cinematographer adjusting a camera, a sound engineer with a boom mic, a lighting technician on a ladder. She's pointing and coordinating. Nobody does two jobs.

Ridley Scott directs 200-person film crews. He has never once grabbed the camera himself.

He tells the cinematographer the shot he wants. He tells the lighting crew the mood. He tells the sound engineer where to place the mic. Each specialist executes. He reviews the result, adjusts, and moves to the next scene.
