Web Of Stories Announces The Availability Of Video Stories Of Sir Ken Adam Talking Candidly About His Life And Career.

Online, November 21, 2011 (Newswire.com) - Sir Ken Adam pioneered the art of production design and created some of the world's most celebrated and iconic sets which include the war room of Stanley Kubrick's Dr. Strangelove and, in 1977, the supertanker set of The Spy Who Loved Me, which became the largest sound set the world had ever seen. Sir Ken Adam paved the way for British and international cinematic design, and has set the standard with a career spanning seven decades. His work on over 75 films has won him a Lifetime Achievement Award, two BAFTAs, two Academy Awards and in 2003 the honour of being knighted by the Queen for his services to the film industry.

Talking of his early days working on the Bond movies, Sir Ken recollects:

"When, six weeks later, the unit and everybody came, I had three large stages at Pinewood filled with sets, which nobody else had seen, not even a sketch, and I thought, either I'm going to get fired or maybe I'm going to be a hero".

Approximately six hours of footage has been divided into individual stories which viewers can watch, listen to, comment on, and share with their friends and colleagues.
