It’s the story of King Arthur and how the boy would become king. But the more I spoke to his friends, who are still his friends, and his coaches, and the community, and the guy at the diner down the street who knew him, and his teachers, I started to really understand how this kid became this man. At the beginning of the process, I really wanted to meet him. He’s got many TV shows and other movies at Spring Hill to focus on. LeBron has been very involved in it, but here’s a little secret., I have yet to meet him, personally. ROBINSON: This movie has been 13 years in the making. What do you think it is that makes LeBron James so special, and what was it like to have him involved with this and to have him give this his blessing? To become one of these athletes that is known by just one name, whether it’s Jordan or Kobe or LeBron, they have to be so much more than just a great one-of-a-kind player. What I always wanted to do was bring some authenticity to it, and as a filmmaker, I think the same way. Working with Jay-Z is a totally different thing. Working with Alicia Keys, she’s got a certain personality and a way she does her music. That’s what I learned, over the years doing music videos. They have something that they’ve conveyed, and you have to come together with a story or a visual that they dig and that they feel is right, and then a music video can inform what that is and how people receive it. With a music video, your script is the song, and you’re dealing with artists who are huge international stars. I think music videos are probably one of the most amazing art forms, in my opinion. What were the most important filmmaking tricks or lessons you learned from directing music videos that have really helped shape you into the director you are today?ĬHRIS ROBINSON: That’s an interesting question. Collider: You’ve directed a ton of music videos with so many different types of artists, and the thing that I find so interesting about music videos, as a medium, is that you have to really convey a clear vision and feeling in five minutes or less.
