The art of composing a stirring film score | Hans Zimmer | TEDxBoston

- You've heard Hans Zimmer's iconic musical works in blockbuster movies and sold out concert halls. Over his long, successful career, a project close to his heart is his collaboration with BBC Natural History Unit and his long friendship with environmentalist filmmaker Sir David Attenborough.
His swelling music pairs with dramatic, stunning images in documentary series like Planet Earth and Frozen Planet to invoke the grandeur of nature. Zimmer's method of conservation is to inspire the viewer to connect on an emotional level. The musical scores invite hope, awe, beauty--reveling at the natural world while encouraging the audience to "feel the necessity" of protecting our precious planet.
By partnering across genres, with pop stars like Camila Cabello and rock legends Radiohead, Zimmer is bringing nature documentaries into the mainstream, even producing chart-topping hits. All of this in service of making people fall in love with nature. Hans Zimmer is a brilliant German film score composer and music producer. He has won two Oscars and four Grammys, and has been nominated for three Emmys and a Tony. Zimmer was also named on the list of Top 100 Living Geniuses, published by The Daily Telegraph in 2007. His work spans decades and underpins some of the most influential cinema of our time. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
The reason I started composing (after watching Backdraft at 20 years old) and the reason I continue to compose in my 50s. Inspirational, supremely talented and humble above all else.
I would like to see him speak together to other composers. And let the interviewer present a problem that you can solve together. It would be interesting ❤
"If you can write a tune, you're in!" absolutely inspiring!
Beautiful human, amazing musician, a true humanitarian who mannaged to remain so humble, despite the world fame he enjoys.
Omg it's HANS!!!
You say you are not a philosopher and yet your presentation is so philosphically exquisite in its numinosity!
Best inspiration speech for life😊
The *Maestro* Himself.
Hans Zimmer is the GOAT
Despise your trendy acronyms
No he isn't.
@@ibanezman04 Yeah he is
@@themuffinloverphysicist He’s not even Top Ten.
Best motivation for life....❤
Idk why I'm not surprised that Hans Zimmer is an environmentalist
He’s not an environmentalist
Well said Hans my friend!
Insightful and eloquent as always!
Wow
Beautiful
I love you Hans
Hello everyone, good viewing🐼
Hello
Haiiiii
Hooooonk!!!
This man is brilliant.
The GOAT.
I enjoy how simple minded he comes across as. A simple mind is the only method to ‘stay ahead of the curve.’ It gives me hope that I can be great to.
It’s the mark of a genius to be able to convey their thoughts with simplicity. He knows how to cut through the noise & go straight into the meaning behind it.
Wish the audio was a bit more standard
Can you update the tags on this video? I just watched Woman at War and I searched youtube for "Fix climate change with a score" "save the planet with a musical score" because I remembered seeing this video in my feed earlier. This video did not come up.
The word "Genius" is bandied about so much these days, but this guy truly is a genius. He hears, thinks and creates things others simply cannot.
You're spot on.
Hmmm Post some music here you think others can’t imitate:
@@LearnCompositionOnline Is your angle that his music is simple therefore it can be emulated? To that I'd say check the concept of "The other side of complexity".
There's a reason a lot of composers in Hollywood try to sound like Hans, but no one does it as good as him. He is the most innovative modern composer and has proven it repeatedly from The Thin Red Line to his collaborations with Nolan and now Villeneuve. And that's just to name a few.
Great composer of ambient music. Mostly.
My favorite is Danny Elfman! 😊
Next one : Midi is better for the environment 😂
Well come to kurdistan travel with VIKurdistan go to the halgurd Mountain and skiing camping and hiking and moor Viest kurdistan travel with me
Ok, if you want weird - I just totally demolished my entire music catalog ..
LOL, Hollywood thinks it still has our trust.
😂😂😂
I am a lover of music just about any kind of music really but when the music is louder than words being spoken… It sucks big time. And not everything in life needs to have music. I know it puts a lot of musicians to work and they get a paycheck which is nice but please do you know enough is enough.
Thank you. There’s is intelligent life out there. I thought I was alone.
That’s what subtitles are for.
You do not understand art. Intelligence is creativity and you lack creativity
Waiting for Alan Walker to comment here 😅
He doesn't even write the music for BBC Planet Earth, so how can he possibly give this TED talk on it?!
He’s composed the main themes for Planet Earth II and III and Frozen Planet II. The composers for those shows are part of the collective Bleeding Fingers Music where Zimmer was one of the founders, so he most likely helped produce the albums and some of the music.
@@nickavenoso7851 As someone who knows the composers working at bleeding fingers. I can tell you he doesn’t produce those albums at all. Yes he wrote the themes but the way he goes around acting like he’s behind all the music is wrong.
@@ibanezman04 it’s nauseating. And then they talk about him like he’s a great composer.
@@ibanezman04 He isn’t acting like he’s behind the music. He could be a representative of the process.
@@thegoodgeneral There’s something called an opinion.
Make sure the score is appropriate for tge total collapse of human edificacy
💪🙏We are not the only ones living here.
Puff piece orrible
Only Jesus Christ can save this planet. No human can save it.
Jesus is just a prophet i invite u to read quran
Only the humans are REAL.
Don't need gods in my life.
@@docskate4312 so u want devils in ur life go ahead and see where that will take u
Are you kidding me? God is not going to help us if we sit around and do nothing. Come on.
Terrible composer.
...in your opinion
@@NRG_Studios yep, along with many others including great musicians and music critics.
Plus he’s a manchild. You’d know that if ever you talked with the man.
@@thegoodgeneral critics are supposed to hate everything. Christian Clemmonson is his top critic, and HE is the real manchild. And also, who cares if he's a manchild? His personality doesn't have anything to do with his music. Mozart was a bit off but that doesn't make his music less great.
@@NRG_Studios Filmtracks is great.
You’re comparing Mozart to Hans? lmfao
@@thegoodgeneral Hans doesn't compare to Mozart, I'll admit that. I was just trying to make a point.
Honestly, Hans Zimmer is far from my favorite composer, but his music just has a special place in my heart. I hate that other composers try to imitate him though.
I hate the attempts to manipulate my feelings through film scores. Just let me watch the darn movie.
That’s the whole point of a film and its score, but ok.
Manipulating your feelings is the entire point of a movie.
Go study 📚
This is only true for documentaries. Even though there is always an aesthetic manipulation
Sure, but, next time, if you want a composer, get a real composer, not a producer. Why wasn't his merry band of arrangers, orchestrators, (real) composers, instrumentalists and programmers on the stage with him?! And, for the love of music, STOP talking about Zimmer as the 21st century Beethoven - unless you call bombastic, overblown, plagiarized, shallow music "great".
🫵🤡
You know nothing about Zimmer’s music, but alright. Zimmer’s process is collaborative. Film composers rarely work alone despite what you seem to think.
Also. Have you ever heard of an opinion? Let people have their own opinions.
The best composers ARE producers....geezus 🙄🙄🙄
Not sure what you mean by “real composer”. All the big musicians are teams, not just individuals.
Agreed. Hans is a hack.
