Studio Visits: Sam Smith 

Hausu poster hijacked my eyes years ago. That effective simplicity. So there is the man itself! Fine artist.

I thought it was going to be about the singer but it turns out it was someone much much better. Thanks Criterion! and don't forget. Please have your service be available in the middle east.

Feels like he's created all my favourite covers. Great work Sam!

This is so great. Fun mini doc and Sam's work is lovely. Cheers, Steve aka the talking fly

I did a serious Maltese Falcon poster, after bring completely dismayed over all the U.S. posters. A couple foreign jobs are ok. I projected the film and then selected frame areas to photograph, then built a 27x41 poster, also including all the national screen service text and blue cross guides that you can see on othet posters from the era. I bought a Maltese repro bird, and gave it dramatic lighting with beams coming off it leading to the various images I chose to surround it. But faces above this central motif looked down to it, and faces below looked up to it. I added an author graphic with a typewriter in the bird's shadow. Fortunately I worked at a photo lab, so printing this 300 d.p.i poster cost me nothing. Except the damn framing.

That Hausu poster is iconic in and of itself

reading the title and for 1 sec i thought its sam smith the singer. LOL

Nice one, enjoyed this - thanks for sharing

We need the Criterion Collection in Germany!

Love exploring posters !

Great to see who's responsible for these beautiful covers. Is it possible to buy some of them as prints or posters?

This is such a good interview with incredible works. I hope film posters, book and album covers remain important as digital media rises.

I just bought that Revolucion Cuban Poster Art book based on the few images I saw of it in this video.

hi i love your song "stay with me"!!

love this series and Sam Smith's work - I do wish they had a mini-doc on the legendary mondo AD Jay Shaw

this series is so deeply inspirational to me. thank you.

This was honestly quite beautiful. The Japon cover was really great! Any place to buy the prints?

Film posters is mainly for illustrators

Love this series!

Why does this dude remind me of Chuck Close circa early 1970s?

Great video. Very informative.

Hmm, any tips on where to pick up Sam's posters? Can't really find anything on Ebay...

So many good nuggets in here. Thank you for spreading the good.

I seriously love your work

This was great - Sam, love your work! Fellow Nashvillian here (and an artist!)

Does anyone know what program he is using to draw with towards the end of the video? Thank you.

poster designing is definetly fun.

Are these scribbles a hint that Criterion will release an "OZU" box set?

See it's seeing things like this that make life that little bit sweeter

Thanks that was fascinating

So you don’t have to be able to draw to be a good artist! Sweet

This 'threadless' aesthetic is getting old, throw all of this to 2006 where it belongs.

This man is uncomfortable to look at

Jmho dude is not a good artist

I see crappy art everywhere in this video.
