Hey, Juggalicious.
Yeah. I think there's a difference between a people's juggler and a juggler's juggler. (I happen to be a "people".)
Similarly, you wouldn't believe how often friends try to get me to watch "the making of" features on animated films, because they find it so impressive -- like, they never knew that you actually draw every frame, etc, etc, while to me it's just another day at work. those extra features were not made for me.
But I do try my best to not spoil it for them. They can't be expected to understand my craft, and to educate them against their will would only spoil the magic for them.
So, I guess it's all about the audience you're trying to reach.
I think I was a little hard on Garflied's complaints in my first comments, because I was looking at it purely from the people's view. He seemed to be looking at it purely from the jugglers'.
You make a good point. "Entertaining" and technically "impressive" aren't synonymous. But sometimes I'm impressed by how entertaining someone is.
Amy Saunders can dance around with a banana and hold an audience on the street for an hour. THAT'S impressive.
PS: Sorry for the constant animation alanolgies. It's all I've got to offer sometimes. You can usually tell what I'm doing in life by the analogies I'm making.
