His movies are garbage. Worst director ever

I really like the idea behind the site, but the buffering tool is just not working for me.

Is anyone else having this problem.

It works for me, it's just annoying in the way that it buffers. I hate bad flash players, although people with decent internet probably wouldn't notice.

That was really cool. Seems like a nice enough guy, shame his stuff is mediocre. Thanks Peter

yeah the buffering tool is not working that smooth for me either

Directing 201 shitty minutes per year.

yeah wow he's a huge airhead man
does he know how to make a movie?

If you've seen one of his movies you'll already know the answer to this.

Hey All - we are working on fixing the buffering problem! We are super excited to share this video with you as well as the newly released Harold Ramis video. Thanks so much!

For me this MakingOf shows an uninspired functional working guy of the hollywood business, not an creative artist or smth like that...

Wow, glancing at the comments, it's clear the internet is as harsh and cruel as ever.

Okay, fair enough, I can't stand Night at the Museum. But it made a gazillion dollars. Some people love that movie. Kids love that movie. Who among us who say no to the chance to make a movie like that...and get paid a million bucks to do it. I'm not sure what you expected the director to be doing to show his creativity during green screen shots. The creativity was pretty much completed in the months leading up to the shoot--the writing and story-boarding, casting and rehearsing. By the time you're at the green screen, it truly is nothing but technical.

It serves as a great reminder, though, when I'm asked to do a behind the scenes doc for my feature, I will refuse. You just can't win doing something like that. I did find it intriguing, if dangerously close to being some unintentionally ironic parody of a "making of" doc.

I second that...

I could care less if he's a bad director or if he does bad movies. Fun video to watch.

Sure he's movies aren't the greatest, but they are usually successful, he's still working time after time, and since his movies keep making money, he'll keep on working.

Thats more than most directors can say. The good directors are few and far between.

why, a director of his caliber? i'd just love to see a day in his life.

That might be the best special feature I've ever seen. I LOVED WATCHING THAT! Makes me so hungry to be on a movie set.

I'm a fan of Shawn Levy, I enjoyed the first Night at the Museum and while the second one was a sequel for the sake of a sequel, with most of the first movies magic missing, it had some enjoyable moments. This was a very nice look at a typical day in film making and I liked it.

What is 201?

i think it was supposed to sound like a film school class but at the same time emphasis the '2' in that he is on set of the Night at the Museum sequel.

clever. I'm dumb.

I love this making of featurette! who cares if he makes good movies or not, its still interesting!

Excellent video

He's paid to run a multi-million dollar production with about a zillion people and make about zillion decisions a day. He also has to make high paid actors happy and fulfilled. That's why he is the "director."

Seemed like a cool, funny and smart guy to me.

I think he'd be more valuable directing a hot dog factory.

Very interestingg. I liked the videoo alot

This is so cool!
I LOVE watching behind the scenes stuff.
I thought the green screen was awesome.
Its so funny when Owen and Steve are just laughing at themselves on the screen.
I just wonder how the heck are you supposed to get in/out the hourglass? xD

WTF?!?! Night At The Museum 1 & 2 were the best movies ever!!!! Cheaper by the Dozen was good, too! Shawn Levy is AWESOME! Not only that, but did you see what he did to the Jonas Brothers?! They were in Battle of the Smithsonian. He totally bossed them around, and gave one of them a time-out in the "creative corner"! LOL It's on youtube, have you seen it? Is that why you don't like Shawn Levy, because you hate him for Pwning the Jo-bros? XD lolz (sorry, couldn't help it.)
