Why YOUR IDEA'S NOT ORIGINAL (and what YOU can do about it)

Are you in danger of getting sued for plagiarism? I didn’t think I was until I learnt about cryptomnesia and got into trouble with one of my clients.
You may unknowingly be committing copyright infringement due to this cognitive misfiring that we can all experience. So you should follow the steps outlined in this video to counteract this.

Thank you

omg! you're welcome! keep posting awesome stuff! ;)

[@cxa011500]

Love this! You should have more views and subscribers!...oh wait 😳

[@Kampfbomba]

Jamie Windsor awesome video! Do you know the book ,Steal like an Artist’ from Austin Kleon?

[@savas.ugurlu]

“Those who do not want to imitate anything, produce nothing.” Salvador Dali. One of my favourite quotes.

[@JimBimBum]

What is art but an imitation of life and how we perceive reality.

[@anandhua.b4589]

[@stanleymakafui]

This name reminds me of Money Heist💛

[@monotropa_uniflora]

Summary of this video: How to not accidentally copy others? - copy them intentionally!

[@Shesvii]

土萠ほたる this needs to be pinned lol

[@ryejames00]

Funny yet correct

[@threepe0]

土萠ほたる sort of. Plagiarism is despicable, but most people are afraid to take inspiration from the things that they like for fear of being unoriginal or being accused of plagiarism. I think it’s important to be aware that all your heroes and mentors have been inspired by something somewhere along the line, and while being honest with yourself about outright copying (which can still be a great learning tool,) you shouldn’t be afraid to copy aspects of pieces that inspire you. It’s also worth noting that due to your unique perspective, you may think you’re outright copying a certain aspect of a piece of art, but your interpretation/view has made that copy unique. These are fine lines, and it’s interesting to think about. This is essentially the topic of the coffee-table book “steal like an artist”

[@marb.u.b8263]

Well it does ensure control of the situation

[@deeav6666]

That's a way of seeing things :)))

[@TommyCallaway]

The intro was SICK bro. Great work

[@jamiewindsor]

Tommy Callaway Thanks. I’m glad it was appreciated. I was wondering if it was worth the work I put into it for only a few seconds of footage.

[@TommyCallaway]

Jamie Windsor I wish I had the patience to make something like this. I’m subscribed and taking notes. Keep making stuff like this and you will get the attention you deserve.

[@almightytallestred]

No, don't wonder! It was definitely worth it! I instantly paused to comment what a great intro that was. Great editing.

[@bersK00]

So worth it! This is a high quality intro done right, mate!

[@rox3407]

the intro is why I stopped and immediately subscribed! nothing else needed

[@denis_chuzhoy]

Excellent video. So good I'm thinking of copying it. (I stole this comment)

[@asmr_reviews]

Денис Чужой Lmao I was gonna write the sam thing

[@seignee]

[@abhaymishra30]

You stole my stolen comment

[@donapizza6425]

Oucchh charliee it hurts

[@Oscar_Armstrong]

Excellent comment. So good I'm thinking of copying it. (I stole this comment)

[@robert3333]

“It’s when you start deliberately copying someone else, you are aware that you are doing it, and you are aware that that’s not an acceptable outcome, so you need to change it.” -Jamie Windsor Just wrote that down as an inspiration for later. Your videos are great man.

[@Sedifet]

Excellent video. So good I'm thinking of copying it.

[@someonewithsomename]

Lol. As usual, the stolen content gets more likes =D

[@JoannaOrtynska]

LOL

[@radicaleyemag]

"Good artists copy, great artists steal"

[@seignee]

@Coby Williams that was the best possible reply that could've ever been conceived. thank you.

[@pxzallen]

Attributed to Picasso, but he probably was quoting someone else...

[@radicaleyemag]

@Coby Williams took me 10 months to see this, but nice touch!

[@bo5ibbs]

Your videos scream quality. You should be proud of your work. I'm certain you're going to blow up in no time.

[@jamiewindsor]

bo5ibbs Thank you.

[@TokyoLens]

Loving the depth on all of these~

[@jamiewindsor]

Thanks. I'm glad the directions of my videos is going down well.

[@TokyoLens]

Jamie Windsor mate... 100% more of this The detail and depth you go into, mixed with the fun you have in the transitions makes it so that even as a fellow creator, I have notifications on and look forward to it The video on the Dunning Kruger effect really stuck and I’ve probably shared it with 20+ other creators so far. Spot on with these project man. Huge appreciation

[@nm541]

Cryptomnesia has happened to me so many times. Now I know that I'm actually not that funny, creative, or smart, I just saw it somewhere else but forgot lol

[@austinfaust3374]

You will be whatever you say you are

[@nm541]

I was not ready for that

[@sparta117corza]

that what creativity IS... all creativity is inherently re imagining of other pieces of work that came before... if that wasn't the case we would all still be drawing cave man drawings and working our way up through the renaissance period of works. instead we skip that and go strait to the current thing.

[@anhha5736]

I came looking for copper and found gold.

[@bennemann]

THANK YOU for finally naming this phenomenon! Let me explain. Years ago when I had piano classes, I fancied composing a few tunes. One of them sounded really nice, it was a sweet little melody. I eagerly played it to my teacher. She swore she'd heard it before, and pulled up a workbook of songs for piano beginners. And there it was, almost note by note, what "I" had composed. Ever since that, I never felt like composing again. To be so proud of your own imagination to discover it is actually someone else's imagination is extremely disheartening. I never got over it, but at least now I know what it is called!

[@jamiewindsor]

bennemann It’s horrible isn’t it? That is definitely the worst part for me - more than what anyone else thinks or losing income etc. To learn you can’t trust your own brain is a real knock to your self-confidence.

[@MoncoField]

Yes but you also have to remember that even if something looks or sounds the same as someone elses work it is still uniquely you creating your version. And it will look or sound a little different when the next guy does it too. Everything has already been done, its not about trying to be the most original, its about doing it better and more interesting

[@dirkwyse1609]

It never bothered Jimmy Page much LOL

[@pedro_hmg]

Everything is on point: the photography, writing, soundtrack and fx. I'll copy all of it, thanks. lol

[@ScopeofScience]

These shot transitions are Amazing! soooooo smoooooth

[@davidm.johnston8994]

"New ideas don't feel comfortable". That's a key insight for me. I do creative studies but I've always felt very blocked creatively. Maybe that's why.

[@bigfishartwire4696]

Found this video by accident... and WOW... I’m happy that I still can find something surprising in this sea of videos. The editing and the content are just amazing.

[@jamiewindsor]

BigFish Artwire Thank you.

[@monsterrr1999]

Can you add accurate subtitles, instead of automatic one? because it gives me a headache to read it and it have no a full stop in the between, it is just continuing nonstop. I am deaf and an aspiring photographer and filmmaker. It is so hard to be original and creative because everyone already did it.

[@MoncoField]

You are right, everything has already been done before. They key is doing it better and more interesting

[@MichaelSasser]

This is amazing. I can't imagine how much storyboarding a video like this takes. Looking forward to future ones!

[@antbrw321]

Dude, randomly stumbled across your video. I must say, man. It is awesome. Your storytelling is amazing! For gods sake, please keep it up!

[@jamiewindsor]

I will. Lot's more videos to come. I'm just trying to find time to make them. But the more views and subs I get, the more revenue I get and that means I can dedicate more time to making videos instead of other work.

[@Pierretlambert]

Very wise words Jamie. Well put video! It is indeed very hard to be "original" and invent something new. I'm at the point where I believe nothing is purely "new" however, everything created is Unique. Cheers!

[@virtualvirtual2362]

what are you doing here XD lol

[@AndyGoodstuff]

You're quickly becoming one of my favourite KZbin channels, man. I'm yet to see a single video from you that didn't leave me feeling educated and inspired. Do you have any background in teaching or giving guest lectures? You're really good at it!

[@jamiewindsor]

AndyGoodstuff Thank you. I don’t have any teaching or lecturing experience. I’ve given the odd talk at a university, but that was just about my work rather than any sort of teaching role. I’m glad you like my videos.

[@petergabriel8448]

Great video. Very informative. As a Danish author once said (probably copied from someone else): “We are born as originals and die as copies”.

[@AlexsaurusRex]

Isn't that depressing? Theres no way that you're going to go about life and not be influenced by someone else.

[@anonb4632]

Peter Gabriel Babies look and act similarly.

[@dirkwyse1609]

I loved your videos "Steam" and "Digging In The Dirt" from MTV back in the day ;)

[@Chazzzisawesome]

Will Smith's son Jaden touched on this as well. He said its not fair that its considered wrong to learn from someone else's work and build off of it. Blatantly copying someone is wrong but building off of someone else's idea definitely should not be illegal. I mean nothing in todays day and time is original, if it was we would not have art history or even art school...I mean what would you learn, if your not learning how to build your own style off of building blocks that Picasso etc. already created. Plus that problem is bound to happen when creatives of this day and time have to worry more about being original than ACTUALLY CREATING.

[@jamiewindsor]

Chazzzisawesome I completely agree. I think there’s way too many cases going through where people are being punished for vague similarities in some aspects of a piece. I think music has this the worst. It’s like we’ve lost sight of why those laws came about.

[@MoncoField]

@@jamiewindsor Which is completely ridiculous if you ask me cause music and films etc have been doing this since practically the beginning lol idk why people today thing this is a new problem haha

[@JooWorks]

I like how you copy vlogers and esseyist and combain them together to make something better than the originals. ;-D

[@DanBullmanPhotography]

Dude, great video! Just found your channel recently (my friend shared your Dunning-Kruger effect vid) and I'm loving your perspective. Keep up the great work! Can't believe you don't have more subs already

[@jamiewindsor]

Thank you. I'm getting a fair few comments saying that I should have more subs which is very reassuring that I'm on the right track with what I'm making. Your positive feedback is very much appreciated.

[@DanBullmanPhotography]

Yeah, anytime dude! Your videography is on point! I've been making KZbin videos for two years and I aspire to achieve the production quality you've put out here. If you keep at it, I'm sure you can reach 500K subscribers or beyond. I'll be following your progress dude. Keep up the excellent work :)

[@negasilver63x]

Thank you for making this video. I had my own case of cryptomnesia recently that thankfully didn’t stir any legal consequences, but when I realized I had plagiarized my mind shattered a little and I became unsure if I could trust myself creatively. This video re-instilled my personal faith in my originality. If that’s not a reason to subscribe, I don’t know what is. Thanks a lot Jamie

[@sheriff-scraps6003]

That intro was spectacular and I practically smacked the subscribe button the instant I saw it. The rest of the video held up just as well! I'm gonna have to go through all your content, love it all!

[@navinbalan]

I just started following you a few weeks back and I love your creativity, video ideas and editing. Keep up the great work. Greetings from Malaysia.

[@slavmetal]

I think your advice is very good -- personally I find that the most creative ideas come from more set boundaries rather than an empty canvas, as you put it, since it challenges just how far you can take an idea. Something that I find works for me as well is having a very wide range of influences and taking inspiration from many things, rather than just working from within whatever your particular style/medium/etc is.

[@tonimuller6581]

Excellent Video! I really appreciate that you not only put so much energy into researching and talking about personal experiences but also take the time to pay attention to details, like the old film look and the wig in the Paul McCartney bit!

[@hannahtherese8681]

I'm a new watcher since today and my, your videos are so well done. And the ideas you convey are absolutely astounding. I'm surprised you don't have more subscribers than you do!!!

[@wrenrogers369]

your editing is amazing!

[@jamiewindsor]

Espalemit Thank you.

[@wrenrogers369]

Jamie Windsor you’re welcome.

[@nathanjohansen7169]

Espalemit - So amazing...I might have to copy it...

[@AverageFolk]

Yeah, them intro's are spot on.

[@whoisGenny]

In a world where anybody with a camera can create a video and earn money from it im glad to see someone who really puts effort in his work and who really knows what he is talkin about!! Also I love how your videos are so interesting that they really get into my mind and make me learn useful things and most important inspire me to be better! Thank you for sharing your ideas!!

[@silencevenom]

Amazing edit, storytelling and production value. I was not expecting much while clicking play but you did hit a homerun with this video. Keep up the good work! Subscribed.

[@sophielake9519]

Hey Jamie! I just wanted to stop and tell you how much I love your videos. Your insight makes me think about photography in ways that I wouldn’t usually. I’ve wanted to take photos of strangers in the streets for years and have only done so on a few occasions but I think I’m going to just spend a day doing this soon! Thanks!

[@kjricketts]

Sometimes I'll see a photograph or an edit and I'll be "inspired," or whatever, to do something similar, because it be a fun learning process. I always try to give credit though, like I'll say, "so-and-so's photo inspired me." I'm going to take these tips into mind; I'd love to be more original, and your videos have me more conscious about my creativity.

[@RB-mj7mp]

Your channel is going to blow up. Wonderful video editing, and love your way of describing topics. I actually have never heard of cryptomnesia before. I feel like I'm back at art school! Keep on going dude, love what you're doing! ❤️

[@jamiewindsor]

Rachel B Thank you.

[@tushtush96]

It's my first video of yours that I watched. I loved it! Amazing depth and formatting. Lot's of things left to wonder and think about now...

[@betsiesbest1855]

I’ve seen one of your videos before and I clicked on this one too because it sounded like an interesting video. I really like your style of video and how much work you put in to each one. I think it turns out very cool every time and it comes across so simply but so different and I can tell how much work goes in to each video without each video being forced. I love it! New sub!

[@RS.Outdoors]

Excellent film and hats off for the amount of work that must have taken.

[@viralflow562]

You are a GREAT story teller and video editor (and videographer), thank you! Also, how did you go about learning video editing and what software do you use?

[@shakennotnerd8628]

Love the way you don't just explain your opinion, but actually show it in fun and engaging ways! SUBSCRIBED!

[@davidkmillerphotography]

Your content is amazing and I love all of your topics and how you present them but your transitions keep my eyes glued to the screen and fully engaged every second. You sir are an amazing artist as a storyteller, photographer and videographer.

[@abdulhamid9154]

Just stumbled upon this video at the right time. I was in a similar position and i didn't know how that happened but i have learnt something new today.

[@Itchban]

dope video man. you are going places

[@jamiewindsor]

Hopefully not to prison for copyright infringement…

[@NH4Ukraine2]

Hey! That's what I told him four videos ago. Plagiarizer! ;)

[@eganeggzythornycroft1084]

Funny seeing you here when I follow you on Instagram :) even shot with you before

[@Itchban]

haha I am everywhere.

[@crisishotl1ne]

I'm not a photographer, but I watch your videos because of the sheer quality in not only the presentation but also in the content. Not to mention a lot of the subjects of the videos are applicable to other things, or just interesting to listen to. Good job!

[@princecookie300]

This is an amazing video ! Thank you for articulating so well something I've been struggling with so much lately. As a wannabe creator of comics and original stories I often feel stuck in that situation where I'm simply too afraid to create anything and look at anyone else because I'm just. Super afraid of being influenced, I guess. It's a bit silly. It goes as far as affecting my interest in things I haven't even read. Not only that, but some anonymous people (ok, 2, but that's 2 too many) have accused me, without ever mentioning what they were going on about, of plagiarism, and I never understood why, and it WAS indeed one hell of a kick in the guts. I've suspected them to be messing with me, but it still terrified me to be potentially stealing someone else's ideas ... especially unintentionally, since I'd never look at something and go HEY COOL, now I'm gonna do the Exact Same Thing. It would be ... stupid. Of course people would notice. I think that incident sparked that little paranoia. Probably. So I've been walking on eggshells and trying to embrace the ways all the different things I see and experience and enjoy might inspire me and influence the stories I think about, while trying to keep a positive outlook. Thinking "when I'm done processing this, it'll be different". I examine all the ideas I have nonetheless, trying to remember "where in hell I saw that", because yes, if some idea comes right away ... It's coming from somewhere. Now what I really need is some feedback. But I digress. I really enjoyed this video. Thanks. x

[@keithgoreham1463]

When I was in art school, one of my best teachers taught us to always do at least 20 quick sketches of an idea before working on a piece of artwork. Because the first five would awful, then the next 15 or so would just be other people's crap that was in your brain. By the 20th sketch, your brain is ready to think, and you're making conscious creative decisions that really are your own. By sketch number 30, you might actually have something original and good. Most people though, even students in his class, would just draw their first idea and never iterate from that.

[@teocrawford]

I like the thought behind your theory.. very interesting video!💪

[@ZaGaijinSmash]

Mate, I love your videos. I'm just a hobbyist but they're really helping me to develop my own style and think more carefully about the images I'm making.

[@ilanrudisuhli2548]

I love the way you change angles and tell stories this is so entertaining.

[@hannah2happiness]

Damn that's a concept worth knowing about for all creative industries. I see it all the time as a makeup artist and also when I was studying photography. I think the most frustrating version of this I have personally experienced is when one of my photographer tutors produced a video piece that has a very similar look and feel to something I created whilst I was one of her students. I don't think it was intentional as it was released over a year or two later but certain elements are there.

[@jamiewindsor]

You’ve just reminded me of when one of my university tutors started producing work with more than a passing similarity to a something I had started doing several months earlier.

[@saavane]

Great video!! One time I remade the "Lil Wayne - she will" beat, same chords same melody and even the same tonality! It’s only 2 hours after making it that I realized that it sounded exactly the same (but my drums were different though)

[@jamiewindsor]

I spent a few hours coming up with this piano riff the other day. I was really proud of it and I played it to my wife. She said "That's _Isn't she lovely?_ by Stevie Wonder". Damn.

[@cinezurdo]

I really like your editing format. Great way to keep the viewer engaged.

[@arccadiaa]

i keep seeing your videos all over my recommend feed and honestly i’ve loved all of them.each one is very well edited as well as really interesting and has a lot of depth. i can tell you put a lot if effort and thought into your videos. great work!

[@jamiewindsor]

Thank you. Lots more to come.

[@FranciscoVelazquezGimenez]

Jamie this was one of your best videos, very inspirational, thank you!

[@stemfourvisual]

Really enjoyed that - some great insights, very honestly and intelligently delivered. subscribed. Ta mate.

[@bigCITY17]

Thank you so much Jamie, you really inspired me today to go out and create something. Videos and Photography are my passion and seeing how much time and effort you put into your work really drove me to create something today. So thank you so much for being the person you are. I also took a lesson from this video and tried to make some interesting scene transitions in this vlog thing I made today. Love how you do your transitions! Thanks again! Cheers

[@beepboopimarobot2841]

I always come back to this video.. imo it is downright one of the most important videos I’ve seen about this topic so far. Thank you, Jamie!

[@runninblue9415]

This is very intelligent output. So refreshing. Thanks 😁

[@LeakySpigot]

I have a background in filmmaking, and I do Step 5 from 13:00 all the time. The great directors from the 70s, 80s, and 90s (Spielberg, Lucas, etc) have all been known to say things like "This scene should go this way, just like that scene in [INSERT CLASSIC FILM NAME] ". "The character should respond this way." - "Oh, you mean like so and so did in that one film from the 40s?" - "Yes, exactly". They never copied entire films, plotlines, themes, or universes. They built up a mix match quilt of their favorite parts of their favorite films, and then painted the works we know and love today ontop, using past films as a rudimentary blueprint. For the best example of this, look to Star Wars: A New Hope.

[@jamiewindsor]

Henry Held I should really get around to watching Star Wars some day. It’s one that slipped me by.

[@LeakySpigot]

When you do get around to seeing it, you are in for a real treat. If possible, try to get your hands on the "Despecialized Edition". Its the version that is the closest you can get to the original, theater release.

[@LeakySpigot]

BillXCIII good lookin out, i didnt know there was such a thing as the silver screen editions. Where can i get these?

[@ahmedmustapha5051]

What a magnificent piece of art. The video, graphics, audio, transitions, and most of all the TALK, absolutely top-notch.

[@jakemiles999]

Love this channel - the ideas, writing and execution are really sharp (and I really enjoyed that focus transition). I also really like that idea of starting with a work you like and moving away from it. Einstein said creativity is just hiding your sources. I always found that a comforting thought.

[@Coldcman]

Sir, your videos are outstanding and your ideas very well presented. Thank you for giving me something to think about!

[@PatrikHrabovec]

wow those transitions :D and a cool video

[@sherryezhuthachan4207]

Just subscribed, I adore the work you're doing, especially this type of video. In many ways it feels like the mentoring I'm seeking. Not gear, not tips, but experienced advice. Similar to Sean Tucker as well. Thank you, I'm sure it takes a lot of work to make these - they are very much appreciated!

[@jamiewindsor]

Sherry Ezhuthachan Thank you. That’s a really nice comment.

[@DominicBallvideos]

Just binge watched a few of your videos. Thanks for these. Cheers and have a fantastic day!

[@rohansth]

These are some great ideas. I think they apply to fields of creativity beyond photography.

[@ShaneBaker]

A well-considered and important video. Thank you.

[@jamiewindsor]

Shane Baker Thanks

[@p0rt3r]

That is very clever and I love it! Reminds me of a presentation I had to conduct at the university. Knowing the professor would ask a lot of questions later on, I deliberately let some things unanswered or vaguely explained, so they would stare him in the face and be more pressing than my actual short comings. It is very helpful to know ahead of time which questions you'll be asked.

[@Motortriker]

Just stumbled on your channel a few days ago; well into a binge-watch now. Great content Jamie. Very thoughtful and thought-provoking stuff. So nice to find someone who isn't trying to be McKinnon or Neistat.

[@HelamanGile]

Plato's Cave you can't imagine more than what your environment is

[@ruthlessadmin]

I was noodling around on my bass guitar last night, and accidentally wrote somebody else's riff. I couldn't think of the name of the song, but definitely was not a false memory. However, i played around w/ the idea for a few more minutes and came up with something radically different and awesome.....Strange that youtube would put this video in my recommended feed so soon after that. I think they're hacking my brain, b/c this is the 2nd time this week they've recommended a video on a topic I had not explored on youtube, but had thought about within 48 hours. Also, you look a lot like Scott Devine lol

[@waldowagan7992]

This is such an in depth analysis I love it so much! Not to mention the crazy smooth transitions man oh man this is quality content keep it up man!!

[@RenzoCaballini]

Love your videos. Been doing the KZbin university to learn photography stuff and I save a good amount of videos under different playlist categories, lighting, technique etc but I have to save your videos under its own category. Thanks again for all you do.

[@SirMikeys]

I agree. Being more wary of cryptomnesia could help. Regarding your step #5, starting with an existing canvas is a fun little exercise, but even better, what if the canvas is one that you've made? The end product is garunteed to be unique.. right?

[@clintmifflinfilm]

Your content is amazing dude! keep up the great work! You're an inspiration.

[@jamiewindsor]

Clint Mifflin Thank you.

[@istulover]

Omg! I am so happy I find you! Incredible video! It is very interesting, informative, well referenced. Regarding the white canvas ... I do believe it is quite interesting, however I think we should not forget to capture our own way to see the world. Some sort of allow us to go beyond the limits of others ( there might be fails but also great surprises)

[@LoitsuCrafts]

I do creative work for a living, but not photography. Every now and then I find myself in trouble or in frustration, either for being accused of copying someone else's work, or for feeling someone has been copying mine. So your video was really fitting and enlightening to my relationship with several aspects of my work also, and it just came to me in such a precisely put moment. Thank you so much for sharing this. You earned a new subscriber!

[@Adobe_i_Sprzet]

Yeah, that totally happens! :) Axel Rose of Guns'n'Roses tells an almost identical story. And this also affected me when I was a musician. I once "wrote" a song, which was pretty much Keith Urban's "Stupid boy" :D :D :D

[@donnythedingo]

Reminds me of the times I'd find a video, try to like it and realize that I already liked it some time in the past. Then one time I rolled down to leave a comment somewhere and found the exact text, left by me, from less than a year prior. Yeah memory is a fickle thing.

[@jamiewindsor]

I do the same.

[@leon8678]

I needed this video man. Thank you. Now I'm stealing your awesome transition techniques.

[@tomerharuvi4139]

wow! your editing is so beautiful and sophisticated! would love to learn how you edit.... also thanks for the interesting topic. I agree with you about a lot of stuff you said. the last part of the video (your tip..) was very important and without that, I think I couldn't relate for your perception

[@IamCceeLL]

"Think of your own ideas" says the poster above the computer monitor haha

[@jamiewindsor]

Indeed. And easier said than done it turns out.

[@jamiewindsor]

Man I really like your style of presentation and editing. You put a lot of thought and effort into your video. It makes me want to use you as a source to copy from. Good advice too!

i'm not a photographer (yet), but your videos are really enlightening about the doubts that I have with my drawings and other creations, love your videos, keep doing a great work

[@Tymon0000]

Now I want to do something completely original! As original as others do! :D :D

[@jacobkiegler3628]

I subbed for two reason one being how mad I was getting trying to find this video and two because I remembered how good it was hope you are still active looking forward to seeing more 🎈

Hi Jamie! I usually comment on videos but I have to now. I just wanted to let you know that you're doing an amazing job making these videos. Your topics are fresh and interesting and I always look forward to them. I can't wait to see this channel blow up and to see other people realize the value you're providing with these amazing videos..

Vsauce vibes?

[@jamiewindsor]

Issam Hammoudi People keep mentioning this Vsauce thing. Is it a KZbin channel?

[@issamhammoudi]

Jamie Windsor yes he's a youtuber, he post informative videos about our daily wonderings in a scientific way, he also made a show names Mind-Field, a really enjoyable show yet full of knowledge.

[@wazulpoosh7187]

Issam Hammoudi OMG i was thinking just that

[@anonb4632]

Issam Hammoudi Because Vsauce is English?

[@LeoBladini]

@@jamiewindsor i'm pretty sure he intentionally copied the style of Vsauce to make his point.

This is quite possibly your best video yet, I was enthralled Allen the way through but the Paul McCartney impersonation will take some beating. When I was a chef I was told there’s only 5 ingredients, protein, fruit and veg , liquids, sugar and seasonings. After that it’s knowing what goes with what and why and even with fusion food it’s highly unlikely you will have an original idea. On your final point, isn’t that how every single university essay is written? I know with law it certainly is, but then again in law you’re pretty constrained by what the Law Lords and legal commentators say. Just make sure your lecturer isn’t one of those legal commentators you use. When I was doing my degree I had a friend whose previous occupation was as a cartographer, and she’d been sued by Ordnance Survey for one of her maps. Although I’m not at all sure how you draw an original map without moving a few towns and mountains. The Rolling Stones get every single penny The Verve make out of 'Bitter Sweet Sympathy' as it’s a carbon copy of 'The Last Time'. Great video, well presented as always, extremely well researched and wonderfully presented.
