What...? You thought I was gone?
Listen, just because I'm annoyed with college and working doesn't mean I don't spin any more. I miss these forums, and I miss the friends I've made. It's been a good few months since I've posted, so let's get this show rolling.

I promised bi-annual, so you'll get bi-annual.

For anyone that needs filled in, I'll once again quote the lovely Lira:
"Hybrid generally refers to routines that integrate both stringing & freehanding."
-Lira

Everyone that submitted to the last video, I expect you all to do it again. (IMG:http://www.glowsticking.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

You all have plenty of time (nearly 2 months) so get working on your freehand/stringing, and send me your clips. Don't worry about editing them down unless you know which part(s) you want to see in the video.

Please also remember to test your lighting before you film. *cough* Zodiac *cough*

How to submit
Email - phil.nalbone@gmail.com
Upload to megaupload, rapidshare, or anything similar and PM me!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rules to submit
(IMG:http://www.glowsticking.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/arrow.gif) Deadline is 11:59:59 May 13 so try your hardest to have the clip to me by then.
I WILL ALLOW A DAY'S GRACE IF ANYONE HAS PROBLEMS AT THE LAST MINUTE.
(IMG:http://www.glowsticking.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/arrow.gif) Submitted clips together must be no longer than 1 minute (I suggest shorter, but that's the max), and I will use approximately 20-30 seconds of footage, give or take, showcasing both your freehand and stringing ability
(IMG:http://www.glowsticking.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/arrow.gif) Handles do count as your stringing clip, and if you know how, may count in your freehand clip also.
(IMG:http://www.glowsticking.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/arrow.gif) Do not release your video publicly until after the collaboration is released
(IMG:http://www.glowsticking.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/arrow.gif) Sticks must be cracked, but there is no color or type of stick required. I suggest ColorBrite for regular 8 hour sticks, any Ultras will work. (Extremeglow.com)
(IMG:http://www.glowsticking.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/arrow.gif) Adequate lighting is required! Please shoot a test video before actually recording if this is your first video! I will ask for resubmission if the lighting is inadequate! (I will also take several measures of brightening the video myself before asking.)

Hybrid was ment to mean anyone who freehands and strings. Not stringers who just use freehand transitions but you know, w/e.

I'm a maybe, depending on the turnout.

Lets just settle it by saying HYBRID STRINGING is doing freehand transitions with stringing...

That's what we called a hybrid for like 3 years, so that one thread was just kinda a wtf o.O moment for me.

And I'm a possible for this, not depending on the turnout =P.

Thanks for taking the time to do this!!! =D hella excited.

Brian, I hella hate you.

I love you too buddy XD.

Wow, already that time again? Geez, where does the time go? I'll definitely submit again, I've been working on a bunch of stuff and there are several meetups coming up to get filmed at. Woot for hybrid handles (IMG:http://www.glowsticking.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

For anyone that needs filled in, I'll once again quote the lovely Lira:
"Hybrid generally refers to routines that integrate both stringing & freehanding."
-Lira

I don't really understand what kind of point you're trying to make, because in order to showcase your ability to string and freehand in one session, you would have to have strings attached to you throughout the routine, unless you freehand first, then pulled strings out of somewhere magical and started spinning. Either way, I didn't disallow the second part, so what's the logic?

And to say that I only say that hybrid stringers are "stringers who just use freehand transitions" is a strong accusation, because I don't recall stating that anywhere. I do, however, recall stating Lira's quote for my definition of Hybrid.


That being said:
The turnout depends on you Mindless, so I'd love to see what you come up with for the collab.




Yessirrr! I'm particularly excited about your clip Opacus, how've you been by the way?
I wanted to post this a good bit earlier this time, and give people alot more room to work on a routine, as well as any newcomers to the forums practice for it, and anyone who may have missed it last time.

But, May 13th is 6 months and 1 day past the last deadline, Nov. 12.
Time really has flown, hasn't it?

lol i agree with brian.
also.. there was a hybrid video????

well. im about stick dead at the moment so it will either be this one or gsu4. imleaning more towards this one just because the GSus are huge and dont need extra from me

in fact im switching my submision to this one... aslong as it doesnt have "REEEMMIXXXX" in the title anywhere.

(IMG:http://www.glowsticking.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) there is a nice little bit of manipulation in it too to even it out

Lol don't worry, remix won't be in the title.
However, my girlfriend bought me about 70 pairs of good 8 hour colorbrite and lightstick glowsticks for my birthday and I still have most of them left. If you didn't want to use ultras and don't mind 8 hour sticks then I'll mail you a couple pairs. I won't charge haha, shipping will only be like 3 bucks.

Just pm me and let me know. It's the least I could do for helping and supporting

since i just started exploring freehanding, and pretty much suck at it.
i think this will be a nice motivation to push myself harder.

just got one question. as far as i understood the intro, it is allowed to send in 2 different clips, 1 stringing and 1 freehanding. it's also good if you have freehand transitions dureing stringing and making 1 vid this way.

am i correct??

Well, from the last collab, most people just sent me one clip with freehand and stringing together, both combined with some sort of transition, but it won't count against you to send me 2 different clips. I'll just edit them accordingly.

It's all at your discretion.

I could say that you should have the strings attached when you freehand, as it sometimes provides limitations (tosses, flips, etc.), but that would defeat the purpose of you being a hybrid sticker lol.
I'll just put your clips right next to each other if I get 2 separate ones, that's all.

i do like it better to leave my strings on and make 1 clip. (IMG:http://www.glowsticking.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
it was just for clarification.

im off reading up on hand stalls cause they are a pain in the ass (only can do them in string manips with a link)

(IMG:http://www.glowsticking.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Just putting in my opinion: I personally really dislike it when inside of a collab there is a transition to the same glowsticker. I understand it's going from stringing to freehand, but it just looks very out of place to me =X.

Yeah, I agree.


I'm gonna start working on my freehand transitions like a mofo so I can submit to this too!

i'll submit for this =]

Whooo, kfR, you live! I'm a maaaybeee. ...aka if someone finds a camera. hurrrrrr.

Between November and now, only one clip has come out with me in it, and almost no one's ever seen it. (IMG:http://www.glowsticking.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) So I kinda ought to. And what better collab to do it in? (IMG:http://www.glowsticking.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

ahhh maybeeee idk yet =/

Wicked, I updated the first post and we have 10 possible people so far.
That's more than the last video already!

+1

I would start a rant but this thread probably isnt the right place to do that..

Ill try to send something in.. I have left over footage from that gsc united comp thing but its really not all that great.
