Firstly, and on an unrelated note, I think Brian Tudor has incredible chops - but being good doesn't mean being intelligent, and personally, I think that, second only to De'Vo, Tudor is the biggest douchebag in manipulation history.
Secondly, to the people saying that speed = smooth... Speed up a film 4x, and watch. Do you enjoy it? Are the visuals smooth? Yes, I'm making an exaggerated point - but that's what happens when you make general statements. You get called out on it. The assumption that speed = skill is also a mistaken generalisation for much the same reasons. Go watch a play where the bad actors speak so quickly that you can't understand them properly.
If you had to choose between the two, then yes I'd choose smooth. I'd rather see a cut done smoother and slightly slower, then a choppy but faster cut.
But the point is, like tarvi brought up, you dont have to choose. Who says you cant do sybil smoothly in 2 seconds? and why would you NOT want to see that O_O?
The point is that YOU may want to see it, but your AUDIENCES do not, because they don't see anything!
...You do perform, right?
