The Adventure of the Girl with the Light Blue Hair is the first episode of The Game is On!, a web series produced as part of the AHRC-funded activities of CopyrightUser.org. Drawing inspiration from numerous well-known copyright and public domain works, as well as recent copyright litigation, the video provides a springboard for exploring key principles and ideas underpinning copyright law and creativity.

The Adventure of the Girl with the Light Blue Hair is available on copyrightuser.org/schools/the-game-is-on/, accompanied by supplementary educational materials.

 

 

The main characters are evolutions of their previous representation by artists like Sidney Paget, Carlo Chiostri, Walt Disney, Basil Rathbone and Benedict Cumberbatch; combined with other artworks such as Magritte's pipe in a modern hipster t-shirt!

 

in creating this short film we made use of other people’s work, on average, about once every three seconds. There are more than 80 references  from either movies, art pieces, scientific diagrams or animation softwares  :)  How many of these can you identify?

 

Supplementary educational materials aimed at suggesting points of discussion about copyright for teachers and students.
