John Rose: Storyboard Artist to Stanley Kubrick

 

My friend Matt Jones has unearthed a short video interview with John Rose, an illustrator who also worked on films for Kubirck and David Lean. 

From a 2010 BBC profile:

"John began his career illustrating books, but also worked on some blockbuster movies, including Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey.

"John said of working on the 1968 film: 'Stanley wanted some illustrations of what it might look like in outer space.

"'He wanted professional imaginations, or as they subsequently came to be known, conceptualists.'"

Here's the video, along with glimpses of some of John Rose's amazing storyboard skills.
