Session two: Reviewing self-directed research

What are you making?

Where does inspiration end and where does copying start?

I want to make a film that is a copy from someone elses work. It should be research in three phases: 1.) copy the file of a film 2.) altering the film. cropping, cutting, recoloring, filtering 3.) shoot a film that should like the same as the original work OR that resembles the same content

Why are you making it?

Reason number 1 is research based:

Everyone is drawing inspiration from the works of others. At the same time one wants to stay away from outright copying those works. Sometimes without intention the line is being crossed. How can one avoid copying, while still taking something from the designs that inspires him/her?

Speaking of myself, there are a number of designers who’s work I admire and I tend to pay attention to what they do and say and seek to incorporate some of their work into my own.

Even though – when drawing inspiration – it is easy to cross over into copying. How can one stay on the right side of the line?

Copying is part of day to day life: Either one learned to play the notes of a song exactly as heard. Or – a developer copies and pastes code that was found on a website or in a book. Also designers mimic the type, grids and color of those that inspire them.

Reason number 2 is practical: I want to film more and evolve in this field.

Does it relate to other things you have done?

I was once doing a riso-printed zine that was documenting silly YouTube Videos and illustrated them in this zine. Even though I „made my own work“ out of that I was making screenshots and in this way copying the content.

How is it different to other things you have done?

It is different that Andi is making himself free of any thoughts to create something original.

What are the most significant choices have you made recently? To focus on moving images as a genre/technique.

-He wants to copy someone elses work. This project will deal with the question on where  inspiration does end and where copying does start.
-It should be a short film that is giving a mood. Either one that is hard or one that is easy to copy.
-Experiment with various ways and phases of the work. One would be the exact duplicate of a file. Then altering/cropping and recontextualising would be the second phase. The third step would be filming something that is trying to be the same.
-Story/Narrative and appearance can be seperated. The project should start by focusing on an aesthetic appearance. But the storytelling is often connected with this so it could come into play later in the project.
-The outcome will be a film.

-If something is hard to copy, it might open up possibilities of copying in another way. Interest in different ways of producing regarding equipment, budget etc.
-This project is also dealing with Andis questioning on his other projects, to what extent they are his own ideas or inspired by other projects or concepts that already exist.
-Andi is inspired by Richard Prince's work.
-Another reason is that he wants to evolve in filming and redoing something.

-In some way it is related to a zine Andi did. It was a documentary of silly youtube videos that were illustrated/drawed and also recontextulised the content.
