I just saw a documentary about Andy and his achievements. I agree that they are controversial because anyone could have done that, but thats whats so good about them. They captured a time period. His films are very interesting especially the one of the man sleeping for six hours, or the one of portraits filmed for fifteen minutes. I could imagine doing this. What I liked so much about these films is that he just didn’t tell people what to do and in that they did improvisations. I liked that he just kept at it. But the interviews that he was in and the side that was shown and the personalty traits that I was able to see, showed a person that was very snobby and pretentious. I didn’t like him very much. If I were to pick up anything from his techniques it would be to paint on top of a silkscreen print. I like this technique and I will probably try to use it one day.
