You might have already seen this video. It has been all over the net in different places for different reasons.
Basically this guy (Director of Armageddon, Transformers, Pearl Harbour etc) didn’t prepare at all and was going to reply using a teleprompter. He failed at even the simplest of questions so basically he didn’t even look at what he was going to be presenting. His first line had no commitment to it. The presentation was most likely written by some-one else. This is the worst and simplest mistake to make. Fortunately for most of us if this happened we wouldn’t be published all over the internet and we would probably have enough brains to be able to answer the most simplest of questions about our career. So the message here is prepare, prepare and then prepare a little more.
