I am not sure that complete technology in the hands of all artists is a good thing. I believe it makes these things, and the “art” it produces, unearned, without the filters of experience, time, diligence, perseverance, and input of those who’ve gone before, and proper competition for space in the world. This all leads to a lowered bar, and ultimately a less satisfying experience and result, while diluting the impact of good creative. I am sorry but I don’t see Final Cut in the kitchen as positive. Once in a great while someone produces something cool or important this way, but it is rarely repeated, and less lasting. That kind of success would have more to do with luck, beginners minds, and random quantity. I’ll being willing to bet that you are proudest of some of the work you did when you had to run to ten places, and the collaboration that occurs in that process contributes immeasurably.

And so what if I was high, would it have been better any other way, or more tolerable for me? Blame Kevin, he baked the cookies.
