Werner Herzog offers online filmmaking courses

If you want to become a filmmaker, but don't know how to get started, and lack either the time or money for film school, take Werner Herzog's online filmmaking course. MasterClass has selected the eccentric German director to commit on video his thoughts about the craft, and taking lessons from one of the best filmmakers of all-time is a rare opportunity.

For an enrollment fee of $90, Herzog's class offers twenty video lessons on every aspect of filmmaking, from "pre-production to distribution." Kevin Spacey and Dustin Hoffman both did MasterClasses on acting, and Usher did one where he teaches you how to become a better performer.

Herzog is responsible for movies like Invincible, Grizzly Man, Rescue Dawn and Bad Lieutenant: Port Of Call New Orleans. He has produced, written, and directed over 70 feature and documentary films, and is regarded as one of the most influential directors alive. The trailer below offers a little taste of what you'll be getting.

The Chameleon

Damon Albarn is a genius. He constantly reinvents himself, pushes his boundaries, and challenges his listeners. From the raw energy of Blur to the diverse soundscapes of Gorillaz, his solo work, and his collaborations with other artists, Damon has proven himself to be one of the most talented and unpredictable musicians alive.

It's Beautiful, But Also Could Explode

Ah, Taal Lake. Admirable, breathtaking, a perfect postcard of tranquility. And then you remember. Oh right, there's a volcano inside the lake, inside an island, inside another body of water. It's like an Inception movie directed by mother nature, and frankly, I'm pretty sure she's just messing with us at this point.

Acorn-shaped meditation pod

Created by LFZ Studio , this giant acorn in France is a cool space to escape the digital deluge. For some, the wooden pod is a temporary escape from reality. For others, it’s a nice place to take a nap. And for a select few, it’s a nerve-wracking dive into claustrophobia. The pod blends perfectly with the forest and the gentle rustling of leaves and the distant chirping of birds create a natural soundtrack for meditation. In this sanctuary, time seems to slow down, allowing for a deeper connection with oneself and nature. |h/t: Design Boom |
