I watched the Werner Herzog course on Masterclass.com and it was fascinating.  He's not short of an opinion, that's for sure!

I'm not sure how many things I agree with him about, but two of them are definitely the importance of perseverance, and also the concept that you have to do something different to what you normally do.  He does things differently to what most other people do (making up quotes, forging paperwork, etc) but he is remarkable because of his uniqueness, and we all have this potential for uniqueness, but it requires experimentation and persistence to find it.

Well said Kye. Thanks.
And on the subject of seeing things the way he does, I've sometimes been left scratching my head as well, but there is also plenty of things that line up, and that makes me smile. I guess, at the of the day, he can say whatever he likes (making up quotes etc) because he's stood the test of time and is as prolific as ever... and that in a business that is so difficult to stay relevant and keep one's head above water. That says quite a bit. The thing I like the most about his masterclass talks (and there are quite a few out there) is his steadfast and dogged nature to the point at which it become comedic... this is one of my favourite  "... There will be no talk of shamans, of yoga classes, nutritional values, herbal teas, discovering your Boundaries, and Inner Growth." ;)

And I like your Soviet lens challenge... imposed limitations for the sake of breaking new ground. If I wasn't drowning in this long haul doc I'd be happy to jump on that train.

Keep it up amigo.
