To put this as simply as possible New York film maker Kirby Ferguson is working on a project that examines the process of creativity – he has broken this down to four short films entitled Everything is a Remix Part 1, 2, 3 and 4. The first two episodes of the series have been published and part three is just available (June 20th 2011) (see the links below) and part 4 is on the way. Because these take time and money to create, donations are much appreciated and help him devote as much time as possible to research, writing and production. When you see the work you may want to donate, if so, you can do it here HERE

Things you might learn from watching this … “Copying is how we learn – we can’t introduce anything new until we are fluent in what we have learnt. Bob Dylan’s first album had 11 cover songs and remarkably, Hunter S. Thompson retyped The Great Gatsby just to get the feel of writing a great novel. NOBODY starts out original.”

It is illegal (and unfair) to copy these so I have given you the official links. HOWEVER just in case you’re too damn lazy to click on these I was able to copy Part Three from You Tube and I have included this here. Trust me, after viewing this you will be begging for Part One and Part two. And we will all have to wait for Part Four which is due later this year – But remember by donating it will bring it quicker… and you don’t have to be an Oil Baron or the Sultan of Brunei to be a patron.
