Just wanted to be like the glowstringers and make a thread about the tutorials for freehanding. =) (yea I'm bored... it's 5 AM and I do not feel like sleeping)

----------

Here is an .html page for the official tutorials:
GS.C Freehanding Tutorials

Tutorials (tutorial [author])

Must Reads
First off, I suggest you reading these topics first to get an understanding of freehanding and what to expect. Once you finish that, move onto the section directly after this (Basic Definitions) where cynicdave explains the fundamentals of freehanding moves. After all that, watch the videos and learn a few things... just remember that these are just moves. It is up to you to creatively put them together with your own style to set you different from everyone else. Glowsticking wouldn't and will not be as amusing as it is now if everyone performed the same way. Good Luck to you =)

Feel free to comment, add links, or make your own tutorials for the list.
If you have a request for a tutorial... post it here and maybe one of the kind gs.c freehanders will make something for you =)

Hope this helps...

NOTE: In case of a bad link, please PM me so that I can fix it...
NOTE: These are not all of the tutorials out there for freehanding... but these are the ones that i have seen myself and found very useful. If you come across a new tutorial that has not been listed above, please PM me.
NOTE: Please give thanks to the people who have submitted their videos for the public.
NOTE: The tutorials marked as DOWN, will be unavailable to the public due to my personal server being down. I should have this fixed in the near future, but no garentees here. If you are DYING for these videos, please IM me @ 'raverxsl' and ask me for them. In the meantime, enjoy the other vids.
NOTE: For files hosted on Tripod/Angelfire... I found that copy-->paste works or right click --> save as.
NOTE: Some files are packed into a .zip file. This means that (for non-XP members) you must get a file unpacker such as Winzip (www.winzip.com) or WinRAR (www.rarlabs.com). Then you open up the archive and extract the file. Enjoy
NOTE: For files ending in .mov , you will need to use Quicktime Player to view the file. www.apple.com
NOTE: If you cannot play some of the files, please download the latest .wmv codec from Microsoft.

EDITORS NOTE: Please remember that these are only moves. Freehanding is based around concepts (tracing, tossing, catching, tapping, carved-in stone moves). Use these tutorials to HELP you get used to freehanding (by learning the basics), but don't think these are the ONLY moves out there. Explore, Experiment, and Enjoy. Then put it all together. The only way to advance freehanding is to have every freehander look somewhat different than the next and not have a routine built around the tutorials you see here. Again, I remind you, use these tutorials to guide you. Once you are comfortable, move on and think of your own stuff. Be unique. ...and, don't get me wrong! You CAN use any of these moves, but freehanding won't be 'free'handing if there are move restrictions. This is why freehanding is different from stringing. Stringing is moved based and uses the stringer's creativity and combo creation skills. Freehanding, on the other hand, has no limit to moves, but still uses the creativity of the user. Yes, add these moves to your routine, but use your mind to be creative and put your own flavor into the moves. Be yourself and most of all, have fun! Hope this helps out the newbies. (Concept Exploration over Moves)

We need to move all the other threads too and link em. should take someone about 30-40 minutes.

No, 30-40 minutes is about right. Most of it is copying and pasting. I would do it, except I'm doing a lot of other stuff for the forum right now.

- Fixed broken video tuts. I put Chen/Poweruser's heli tutorial on temp storage on putfile. As far as I know theres unlimited downloads *shrug*

- Started moving old discussion threads over from the old boards. I'm only going to move about five a day so I dont flood the freehand forum and so the threads get proper exposure.

If there are any comments/suggestions on how I moved them please tell me. The way I did it seems a little messy :\

-Steph


Note: Haha I'm learning a lot doing this move and reading the old threads. Freehanding sounds like a lot of fun... maybe I'll switch xD
