Whats Auteurship? - "Having a distinct style" and the french term for "Author"
Whats Auter? - "suggests great film directors are artists in their own right on a par with great novelists."
In this week's COP Seminar we got on to the topic that nothing is completely original, because if we think about it, everything is inspired by something. Artists are always paving the way for other artists to follow after. There is a persistent view that "Animation" is mainly for the view of children. Which would lead to a very heated discussion.. This lead to us going on to talk about the different ways artists go about things, for example Fine artists would most likely go about their work in a totally different way in comparison with us Animators. In fact their is a habit of scrutiny amongst contrasting areas of art. We found in this seminar that a lot of us shared a similar view that some fine art can be too metaphorical and sometimes the expiration for somebody putting a brick in the middle of the floor and calling it art can be "blagging" This doesn't mean that this art work isn't appreciated, but there is certainly a difference of opinion amongst artists. However I will say, if something you see has encouraged you to interoperate it, then it has done what it wanted you to do.
