Hacker News Stories and Comments

All the comments and stories posted to Hacker News that reference this video.
It seems like they are not just famous but experts. Some of the names are giant in their fields, but not household names. For music for example: "Danny Elfman", "Hans Zimmer", "Herbie Hancock", "Deadmau5" are all huge.

I haven't watched a master class, but they seem well produced and "aspirational" at least.

I have a friend who swears by the teaching company. I did a udemy into to Unreal engine that was oddly decent. But I like to do extension school classes that force me to show up with the threat of a grade.

The Deadmau5 intro video is entertaining (35,000,000 views!) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dtj6dDARgfQ

"If you are not naturally comfortable on stage, from my experience, you should try putting on a F#$!!$ helmet that covers your face.."

I've watched a few MasterClass ads whole way though. They have some funny bits and are well produced. My favorite was the DJ who has the mouse helmet(Deadmau5): noting from personal experience, if you are uncomfortable on stage it helps to wear a giant helmet.

Here's a link if you want to watch a 2 minute ad (if youtube is to be believed 31 million people have watched it.)

I've skipped a fair number too.. They are long.

I have no idea how they get experts in certain fields to do these classes.
