Re: After a year has perception of FCPX changed?

[Richard Herd] "Our nature is such that we can't actually turn off the meaning making part of our brains. We call that catatonia, somnambulance."

It is because our brains will always make these kind of connections that our art does not have to. Dreams are often a series of totally unconnected visual and auditory memories - it is in our waking interpretation of them that drama or story becomes manifest. Art can be like a Rorschach blot - the story only exists in the mind of the viewer. Such art does not have to be made with the 5 steps you outlined - the perceiving mind will create them for itself. Or as Godard once said - movies should have a begging, middle, and end, just not necessarily in that order.
