Replicate a video
Remake a video the person admires, as close as they want it: the same film frame for frame, or its form (the parts, the rhythm, the look, the way things move) carrying their own content. When their words do not say which, ask. Either way it is made again in OpenFilm, so every part of it can be changed.
What has to be true
- The same moments. Where the reference cuts, a word appears, something moves or a sound hits, the film does too,
scaled when the lengths differ; for an exact copy, each frame matches the reference's frame at the same time. Compare
the two at the same times with
npx openfilm look, and report honestly, in numbers, how close it is. - Made again. The reference stays in
references/and is never a clip of the film: what the film shows is made anew, and the reference's own music, footage or voice go in only when the person asks for them. - Their version is theirs: when they want their own content, every part carries their topic, product, words and material, and a part they have nothing for takes a job that fits their film. A template with new words in it is not done.
- It holds up next to the reference, as well made at every moment. Watch the whole film as a viewer would, and keep refining until it does.
