Transposing the model of the independent artist to large-scale collective productions challenges our vision of art, affiliation and integrity. AR researchers in film and new media can have radically different practices: from industrial creative producers to one-person camera documentarists, from VR designers to screenwriters and 3D artists. While our potential for creation and innovation is similar, our expectations and abilities are as diverse as the cost of our projects. Our contribution spans questions of affiliation, authorship, production and speculation, with the aim to bring clarification on what can be expected for and of diverse AR researchers in film and new media, and to promote the concrete establishment of appropriate support and supervisionapplication/pdfengopenAccessAUDIOVISUALPRODUÇÃO CINEMATOGRÁFICAINDÚSTRIA AUDIOVISUALCRIAÇÃO ARTÍSTICANOVOS MEDIAAUDIOVISUALFILM PRODUCTIONAUDIOVISUAL INDUSTRYARTISTIC CREATIONNEW MEDIAarticlehttps://doi.org/10.24140/ijfma.v5.n2.01
