Ken Russell was a guest lecturer when I did my film degree. Total and utter waste of time. Literally just sat there, gassed to have an audience, and told tired anecdotes about Oliver Reed that taught us nothing and made the fawning film department heads look ridiculous.

Lousy lecturer, amazing film maker...

Yeah, it's hard to see how anyone expected anything else from him at that stage of his career/life.

Interestingly a friend in Sweden told me exactly the same thing many years ago.

Music and production tutorials, more than anything else by far. Gear/app tutorials/insight would be a distant second.

And whatever else, a third some galaxies yonder.

For me at the moment it's mostly learning vids aimed squarely at improving my Ableton skills and drum and bass/jungle music production and my favourite channel at the moment is Stranjahs, I do hip hop too but that's a lot easier imho to produce as there a fewer dynamics at play in the course of getting a final beat together...

I really like Adam Hardyman's videos - just the right combination of visualised music (making) for me.

In general, I still abide by my number-one pre-filter for watching videos: if the still image of the clip is a person looking like an astonished idiot, then it's a reject, no exceptions. This simple policy excludes quite a lot of videos, but as a self-respecting person I have to draw the line somewhere.

Adam Hardyman vids are really nice. When people ask me: "what's up with making music on Ipads, does that work well?"
I put on Andy and show off

I also like The House of Kush, it's more about EQ and compression, but the guy really explains things in a way as if he was referring to life in general.

Ned Rush is my absolute favourite. They're geared towards Ableton Live though. I'd love a GR16 dedicated channel with things you could follow along with. Even though I know it really well, it's still good to follow along with other people. Also, a Drambo channel would be cool.

Good film makers do equal good teachers.

He said he also had an almost exact experience with Michael Winner delivering a 'lecture', with the only difference being that Ken Russell had actually produced some good movies.

hehe that does not surprise me in the slightest!
