Hans Zimmer, a conductor from Germany and world-renowned producer, is a master of film and music who does not hesitate to challenge himself with close analysis and various styles, based on his musical philosophy of "Complex music can't win the hearts of audiences." That might be why every movie he participated in attracted the public's attention.
As a child, Hans Zimmer took two weeks of piano lessons. That’s it. Since then, the Academy Award winner has scored over 150 films, from Sherlock Holmes to The Lion King. A master of creating character themes, Hans knows how to collaborate with directors, musicians and editors; develop a tempo to provide rhythm to a film of any genre; and compose the score before even seeing the film.
In his MasterClass, Hans Zimmer sheds light on how he found his voice, to help you find yours. He’ll teach you the rules of film scoring – and how to break them. How to collaborate with filmmakers and musicians. How to refine themes and score full-length films or shorts. By the end, you’ll have the tools he uses on his projects, to use on your own.
