"There is no training ground for filmmaking" Werner Herzog on Directing

[@emmanuelagudo4918]

'filmmaking... a personal delineation of borders.' this is so genius omg. Since the beginning of time, storytelling has evolved together with the medium. Yet great storytellers know, by personal experience, given the limited resources for such dimensions for the medium of their time, must know how to scope and make decisions on which to highlight and which needs to be trivialized.

[@mishtaromaniello8295]

His Masterclass is one of the greatest educations I have ever received.

[@johndeggendorf7826]

Herzog’s MasterClass was my first. Very real world, no bull, self reliance. Right on.

[@techhasan724]

Wwwwwwwwewwwwryfhhf

[@Lavandyr1]

I am taking it now, and it is better than some of the stuff we covered in film school.

[@talorrenea7735]

Mattheau Fain where is the school? Online? Or what?

[@Lavandyr1]

@@talorrenea7735 It is on Masterclass.com.

[@DelightLovesMovies]

Werner Herzog is and amazing and outstanding gentleman. I can listen to him talk about films all day.

[@panchalbhupendra1782]

Ya, metoo , also his English is better than English man

lockpicking and forging documents

[@johndeggendorf7826]

Herzog was my first master class. No bull, a model of self reliance.

[@sebastianalegria3401]

Herzog is probably one of the best filmmakers of al-time because of his movies aren't only recognized in Germany, they're also recognized around the world. Furthermore, he's known by hiring, and working constantly with Klaus Kinski, the famous actor with whom he made 5 movies however, both of them were about to kill each other. In fact, while shooting Aguirre the wrath of God, Herzog pulled Kinski a gun because he was going to leave the movie's set.

[@michaelkoech3365]

This was really great advise.

[@Filmmaker809]

Love his work and his words.

[@mesagoat]

takeaways: start wit storytellin', keep an open mind, ego in check, walk more, learn lockpicking, forge lotsa documents!

[@josephcallahan1664]

I love this man and his films and process.

[@danicoversongs]

seriously tho.... THAT ONE DISLIKE maybe does not know the documentaries and films this guy made.

[@nickpastorino5370]

It was Kinski still angry about the meals on set in the jungle.

[@AA-sn9lz]

@@nickpastorino5370 lmao just try to visualise angry kinski just repeatedly ramming the dislike button

[@willmottwillnotwait9005]

Agreed m Shannon is very underrated and has done some great (below the radar) movies!

[@iFreeThink]

I was happy that I did something with something given.

[@lizziegsack]

technical things are boring! I did a film 1 year diploma with the intention of going on to doing a degree but realised how it was all about the industry & technical aspects.. got very boring and disillusioned so didnt do that. His film school sounds great though... whats it called?

[@Lavandyr1]

The Rogue Film School. He also has a Master Class on this.

[@samaraisnt]

So how the hell do you learn it then?? You have to learn technics or else you can't technically do it.

[@lizziegsack]

@@samaraisnt yeah take it back that was 6 yrs ago lol. You have to learn it to do it I enjoy some aspects not all of it. But thats anything got to put effort/ concentration and time in to get good results

[@999titu]

Genius

[@klaus.kinsky3954]

Ich liebe Werner Herzog ❤️👍. Ich habe nie jemanden anders kennengelernt der so ist wie dieser Mensch... Bisher..... ausser mir selbst 😱 doch mit noch reichlich weniger Erfahrung als werner Herzog, der wenn er einen Film zum englischen Königshaus machen würde, er zum Sir. ernannt wären würde 👍

"lock-picking and forging documents" 🤣🤣🤣

[@alysondoyle]

I always wanted to go to his Rogue Film school, but I suspect he won't run it anymore because he teaches some mass corporate thing online now. But I finally worked on my film to submit for entry into the class. i thought I might get in just because my father looked a lot like him. LOL kzbin.info/www/bejne/lXi6q3qah7GBhcU

[@samaraisnt]

Me too but hopefully he'll run it again.

[@manurosa]

What does he mean at the end when he says if you have something important to do in your life try to do it on foot?

[@illomens2766]

I think what he means there is that there's no substitute for hands-on experience, just "going out there on foot" and experiencing and learning things firsthand.

[@Vurti0]

Jan Ringdal. Jeg savner deg.

[@mignonthon]

his mind is ok, but sadly the physical doesnt follow him. i want to heard that voice and that philosophy eternaly

[@iFreeThink]

At least I'm still okay.

[@mcmfilms]

Werner Herzog, enough said....
