"Copying is the wellspring of all creativity. This is where it all begins. As we copy and copy and copy, our own voice and our own style emerges.... But copying alone is clearly not the answer we seek. There is obviously a lot more going in great creative works than just copying. How does the magic happen? How do innovative ideas emerge from the seemingly derivative act of copying?"
I take the comic-book world in by osmosis - Luis loves comics and there are very few days in which some discussion around this art form is not discussed... but what I had not realised was the underlying nuances of what makes a good story... of what good films are made of... and the creativity is instilled in the people I admire most.
Is creativity magic? Is what we create really creative and original? Or are we just copying? But more importantly... do we just stop at copying? Are we transforming this material to reflect our thoughts? Are we combining these transformations into a revolutionary product?
