19 - Joe Alves - Legendary Production Designer on Jaws and Close Encounters The Filmumentaries Podcast

For this episode, episode 19, I’ve returned to Jaws. If you don’t already know my work… from 2006 to 2014 I created some feature length documentaries, or filmumentaries as I called them on some of my favourite films. Inside Jaws is still available for FREE on vimeo.So, last weekend here in February 2021, I spoke to legendary production designer Joe Alves. He collaborated with Steven Spielberg on a number of projects going back to Steven’s years in television. I spoke to him about his origins in the industry as well as his time on Jaws and Close Encounters of the Third Kind.  Joe has a book called “Joe Alves, Production Designer” it’s written by Dennis L Prince with a foreword by effects artist Greg Nicotero.You can buy it here at Joe's site - https://joealvesmovieart.com/Inside Jaws - A Filmumentary - https://vimeo.com/68400837Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/jamiebenning)
