Werner Herzog's films are characterized by obsessive men and quasi-mystical landscapes.http://www.1worldfilms.com/werner_herzog.htm Often nature marginalizes his protagonists, and Herzog's choice of exotic locales, lend to the base human truths revealed in his "visionary" work.http://web.uvic.ca/geru/439/herzog.html

Roger Ebert, in a letter to Herzog, describes him as "a man whose life and career have embodied a vision of the cinema that challenges moviegoers to ask themselves questions not only about films but about lives. About their lives, and the lives of the people in your films, and your own life."http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20071117/PEOPLE/71117002

Herzog's continuing filmography expands each year with documentaries such as Grizzly Man and White Diamond, and with narrative films such as Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call: New Orleans and My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done. "His documentaries contain fiction, his fiction films contain fact." http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20071117/PEOPLE/71117002 When asked about his conscious toying with what is real and was isn't in his work, Herzog says he searches for the "ecstatic truth" of human emotions.http://www.filminfocus.com/article/the_ecstatic_truth_of_werner_herzog

BBC film critique Mark Kermode was curious as to the truth of the tales told about Herzog, the man who dragged a boat over a mountain in Fitzcarraldo. http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20071117/PEOPLE/71117002 When he interviewed ...

How to Make a Music Video

Once you have planned every step out, you can start filming your video. Keep in mind that if you change clothing a lot during filming, you will have to do more work when editing the video. If you just stay in the same clothing less editing will be needed. Make sure to play the music in the background so you can hear the beat clearly and lip sync along with the music. While editing the video, you can take care of making sure the music sounds right. Tape the scenes several times, so that you have footage to pick from during editing. It makes the editing process easier.

To edit the video you want to load it into an editing system and turn on the music so you can edit to it. Editing software can get quite expensive, but there are also cheaper versions like iMovie or Final Cut Express. You can add special effects, like slow motion movements, or correct the color. You can insert recordings from live performances. Also make sure to add the video title and name of the performer. I you want, you can now upload your video to YouTube.http://www.howcast.com/videos/35928-How-To-Make-a-Music-Video
