CodeLess: A Narrative on Visual Development (NoCode)

Kirby Ferguson is a filmmaker, writer, and speaker. He's widely famous for his viral 2012 docuseries titled "Everything is a Remix". His Ted talk on remixing has garnered over one and a half million views. I've been following Kirby for close to a decade and getting to have this time with him was like meeting another maker that never fails to inspire you. In this jam session, Kirby explains the blueprint for creativity and provides actionable advice and encouragement for us to copy, combine and transform.
