Spielberg endeavored to intrigue his partners with extravagant camerawork, yet heads requested him to shoot it rapidly. His commitments were not generally welcomed, subsequently Spielberg enjoyed a short reprieve from the studio.[53] However, Crawford said of the chief
At the point when I started to work with Steven, I got everything. It was promptly clear to me, and likely every other person, that here was a youthful virtuoso. I thought perhaps more experience was significant, yet then I thought about those accomplished chiefs who didn't have Steven's natural motivation and who just continued rehashing the standard, worn out routine performances. That was called "insight." I knew then that Steven Spielberg had a splendid future in front of him. Hollywood doesn't generally perceive ability, however Steven's was not going to be ignored. I advised him so in a note I kept in touch with him. I kept in touch with Rod Serling, as well. I was appreciative to the point that he had endorsed Steven as the chief.
