The first 2 minutes can be safely skipped. Actually the whole thing would probably have been better as a short webpage rather than a video, but never mind.
Basically, the brain doesn't update every idea automatically when new information is presented.

ReplyDeleteYes, I'm not sure why there was a need to do this as a video. What really seriously ticks me off are Blender tutorials in video format.
