CJ: So, is KPT being used mostly by people at home: novices who are playing with it as a hobby and producing some really awful graphics?

Krause: My analogy is: think about when Sony made the camcorder. On one hand, they're responsible for some really horrible movies that people make of their babies and their wedding -- nobody should have to watch them, they're terrible. In the same way, I'm responsible for some very bad art that is being made out there.

On the other hand, what Sony has really done is made it possible for people who never would buy cinematography cameras to put their lives, their past, on videotape. What they are selling is the ability to do that. In the same way, I bring people the ability to do creative things that they normally don't. The idea is to be able to make things you haven't seen before. You can argue with the aesthetics of it, but ....
