Patterns and recognition
The most amazing skill people have is recognizing something or someone from incomplete information. How do you recognize someone from behind at a distance? How do we read words in fonts with missing pieces?
Even more initeresting is when we see a pattern or recognize something that DOES NOT exist. Is it coincidence or conspiracy? Serendipity or by design? Different people cross the line in different places. Take for example, Nostradamus. So many people willing to see something, while others see nothing at all.
I find this affect when putting music to video. It is real easy to get lucky when you have several minutes of footage. There is bound to be some interesting alignment that occurs and that I or others see as 'by design', even when just serendipity. My own videos are prime examples, since I never try to line things up, but routinely get cool results as if I planned it. So the secret is out.
Do you patterns in this video between the music and the footage? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rfyYp79sHqM
