These are adults who paid for a ticket to a film talk, so even older adults. This is just how dumb/inarticulate average people are, even serious cinephiles lol.

This was really inspirational, even if you're not a film maker.

I find it so bizarre that there are not more views on this. Great stuff.

Very good. He is so right about documentary. It has to be subjective not objective.

Yes on the note of coverage. If you shoot a scene from multiple angles just for "safety" then it is proof that you are uncertain of the purpose of your shot. You are just shooting for the sake of shooting something displaying your uncertainty in your decisions. Your lack of artistry is prevalent through the screen into the audiences subconscious. If you're going to point the camera then know WHY you're pointing it there. Know WHY you're emphasizing an emotion. Don't just shoot like you're firing blanks. I've done so before and my lack of knowledge in my coverage or b roll was an embarrassment upon my own work. Don't make that same mistake.

if i may try, He means going in with direction , purposefully. knowing what you want before you shoot it, having the composition in mind, i.e. WHY is the camera pointed at her face and at the back of his in a conversation, Her emotion is the one that matters in the scene, but his emotional cues is saved till the next sequence. stuff like that.

i get that but most times these movies can change into something u didnt even plan on like in american beauty...sam mendes found out he had made a completely different movie when he went to the cutting room, he ended up cutting off like 40 minutes of what he'd shot for what he thought was d movie he was making.

im about to shoot my first short film. written and directed by myself. i should sit and visualize every single scene before i go out shooting? i had thought about going with a basic outline and then do sort of guerilla shooting and see how the shots turn out. like once scene, i want to turn a normal hotel room into a blacklight room and have the couple do face painting with glow in the dark paint. paint on the walls etc. but i don't know what i want on camera. i just have the idea. so should i really map out the scene in my head before i got to shoot? thanks

thank you for the upload. Werner Herzog rules.

Uploaded on my 21st birthday!

Wow, a microphone comedy within the first 5 minutes.

w herzog one of first antecedents I have with german films... congrats from instituto ruso-mexicano de cinematografia

Grazie per aver condiviso Werner Herzog. Ps: hai creato un canale KZread ricco di contenuti :-)

I love his glasses!

The main message I'm getting from Mr Herzog so far is "Do not f' about with b.s."

Wow. this was great

I traveled on foot for 4 months and he is right it changed me forever, but it is dwarfed by raising children.

No excuses. Save up $10,000 and make a movie. You don't even need that much. Look up the film "Who Killed Captain Alex?" It is made by a guy in Uganda with one digital video camera and a desktop computer. He has made a dozen or so movies. I don't think the village has electricity, I think he uses a generator. He makes movie after movie. His hard drive is so small, once the movie is finished and he has made a bunch of DVDs to sell, he has to delete the movie from his hard drive before he can make the next movie. Also he has to burn 1 DVD at a time. He enjoys it and makes a living doing it. Most of his village volunteers to be in his films. They can't afford any props. If they need AK-47s, they carve them out of wood and paint them black. They do a good job and the guns look real enough. He digitally makes muzzle flashes later. In Who Killed Captain Alex, they built a helicopter out of bamboo, boards, paper mache and things. He then filmed all the helicopter scenes. Then digitally put the helicopter in the sky. It is one of the funniest parts of the movie, but for a guy with no training to edit video of people in a homemade helicopter and make it like they are in the sky blowing up buildings he does a pretty good job. Other than the helicopter moving unnaturally, making turns, changing directions and such in ways a helicopter can't was really the bad part, but the guy has probably never seen a helicopter maneuvering turning and attacking. So that is his lack of helicopter flying knowledge, not anything he did wrong editing. I think they have clips on KZread. They probably have the entire movie, but f**k that, buy a copy from the guy in Uganda. The average rural (where he lives) Ugandan is the equivalent of $81 US dollars. In urban cities the average Ugandan income is the equivalent to about $163. So buy the DVD for $20. If he sells 5 DVDs a month, he will have above average annual rural income in his area.

Thank you so much for sharing. I would have loved to have asked about trust----between the director and the subject he is filming. Do you compromise the prospect of a good story by sharing information with your subject/actor.

Seems like there were multiple audio issues at this event, beginning with the microphone / PA levels. There are preference settings in Mac OS that allow you to disable that noise you hear when some one adjusts the volume.

Werner Herzog or Little Bill Daggett? (Gene Hackman's character in 'Unforgiven')

literally so frustrating how they can't seem to make a mic work and play a video on the computer correctly, yet are running a "masterclass"??

Herzog makes the claim that a ship has never been dragged across a mountain. Actually this is not true. The Turks when they conquered Constantinople in 1454 had to tow several ships over a hill opposite Constantinople to get around a chain the Byzantines had strung across the mouth of the Golden Horn.

He’s talking about doing it for film, for his movie. Also he’s doing it in an ENTIRELY different context, in the middle of the Amazonian fucking jungle over a mountain and its a STEAMBOAT.

Wow, too bad about this sound.
