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 Adorable Sculptures of Yen Yen Lo

These images are from a series of wall sculptures created by Yen Yen Lo . Here you can see her intricately textured ceramic pieces, looking downright adorable. Yen Yen Lo's eye for the unique and whimsical is delightful. Apparently they are not intended for kids under 16. Fifteen-year-olds cannot be trusted with fragile stuff. Get them a Funko Pop instead.

Bats, Cats, and Dancing Skeletons

It’s now been fifty-eight years since Walt Disney died of lung cancer, and as a great way to remember his legacy is watch this short film he did in 1929. It’s truly impressive, and you can still see the impact he made on animation today.

Brandon Semenuk is a Canadian freeride mountain biker and rally racer who does crazy tricks that make me anxious. In the Know , his latest video partnership with SRAM, is a knockout. The clip is filled with wild riding, magnificent terrain, cool music, and breathtaking shots.
