How often have I heard students say, "If I could just watch that man work, I'm sure I could get ahead!" Getting ahead does not happen that way. The only mystery, if such it may be called, is the personal interpretation of the individual artist. He himself probably does not known his own "secret." Fundamentals you must master, but you can never do so by watching another man paint. You have to reason them out for yourself. -Andrew Loomis
This sums up a lot of DVDs/workshops/videos I've seen.

What do you suppose he puts in there?
I have yet to understand some Art Center people entirely. They come out of that school able to beam out quality environments like nothing else, yet when I ask them about how the fuck they do it I get dead-end responses like "I just do it."
That response used to really piss me off on a subconscious level. Ok, well, it still does.
It wasn't until I met my fencing teacher, Stephen Colton, that I fully realized how there's a tradeoff between being able to perform something amazingly well and being able to put it into an explanation, and that it's difficult to be able to do both. Stephen is an awesome swordsman and used to fence in competitions way back when, but has spent more of his 30+ years fencing career on learning methods and techniques as a coach than as an opponent.

Another experiment with Flash. I made a visualizer customized for Broken Note's "War In The Making". Click the image above to view it (Full screen preferrably).
Edit: If the animation is locking up for you when it's done loading, it's because there is a bug with Flash player that will break the method I'm using if you have a YouTube video open. I am not fucking kidding.
