I finally got ahold of a computer that supports WMM so here it is folks.
My one year video recorded on new years eve.
Hope you enjoy it!

I just want to say this first, that this video is one of my favorite videos as of late. Out of the few that I've watched lately, this is the one that I'd have to point everyone to. It's a good traditional video. The lighting was good, music was good, everything in it was good. I really liked it.

With that said, you asked for some critiques and in all honesty in my mind it's hard to come by with this video. A lot of my critiques are simply things that you already know, or really small things that hardly matter.

Before I even put in a single critique let me get out the things that I thought were amazing. First you moved around! It's nice to see a person move around. I fall victim to this way too often that I just stand in one place, it was nice to see you move around. Also, it was really nice to see you spin slower than most of the crowd. It's something that's been getting on my nerves lately how that everyone seems to be spinning at super speed, it was nice to see some normal speeds for once. Also, you get some bonus points for getting into and out of an obital cleanly without stopping the flow of your spinning, it makes me angry when people do an orbital and then there just happens to be an edit right after it, which you didn't do, good job on that one.

Now for the tiny nit-picky critiques that I know that you're aware of, are fixing, or have already fixed. The flowers at 1:11 were okay, and the anti spin flowers were sloppy at best. Really try working on getting the anti spin to meet in the middle when you're spinning them and that will look even more amazing than what it already does. Also with those, remember to bring your left arm all the way back for the fourth petal. It might be what you want to do, but your right arm is doing a four petal antispin flower while your left arm is only doing three, and I think that could possibly be the point of confusion with that move.

The string manip at 2:20 ish took a little too long to get into and messed up the flow of your stringing. Up to that point your stringing is very connected and very smooth, but then with this move things seem to just stop and then move on. It's something small, but if you could figgure out a way to keep this moving while you get into it, it'd make that combo even more amazing than what it already is. The same goes for the manip around 3:30

The stalls right after that (2:40) look a little slopy but with a little bit of work, they'll look clean, just watch the one that stalls going up because it seems to fall out of the stall instead of you pulling it out of the stall. Also at around 3:50.

That's all that I've got for critiques. I really liked this video. Thank you for putting it out.

Thank you much =]
My left arm does definitely lag a bit in my antispin flowers
With bowtie at 2:20 i usually get into them a bit quicker but i caught the one in my right hand kind of funny.
I find air stalls alot harder with glowsticks than with my sock poi but i think i've almost got them down. if this were with poi they'd be much cleaner.
Thanks for the critique!

I like the way you dance with your glowstringing, makes it interesting.

Nice!

was that a behind the back buzzsaw? if so that was good shit bro

yessir it was,
i first saw that on a video from firegroove.com

the music was very funny, it set the mood quite well. i did like your speed man, i agree with adrillf that you made a very good video and he knows quite a few things about videos so good job! if anything i would say chop the video down to 4 minutes but i watched it all the way through to give it full repsect, great stuff for your first year, keep it goin!!

I originally had about eight minutes of footage,
and there was alot of other stuff i wasn't able to include like all my btb stuff.
Thanks for the positive feedback =]

this video was very original, you know alot of moves and i really enjoyed them... Deffinantly a classic video that I will watch many times.

critique... Yeah this is like beyond being picky, but that orbital at 55 seconds... It was so beautiful, you should have held it for longer! Ha Ha

considering that I have watched this link way too many times, could you possibly give me a permilink for this so I can DL it and have it on my computer or even just hunt me down on AIM and send it to me through that?

EDIT: Never mind sending me a link, give this video what it deserves, a place in the media center!

Could someone host the file for me?
After i get ahold of the computer that the file is actually on again i'll get it to someone if possible.

I was trying to bring it over to my other side and it accidentally came undone =P

Click.

coolness.

Hehe, that was recorded in my living room. Good stuff as always man, too bad my ceilings are kinda low and limit the vertical arm extension of taller people like you and myself. Anyways, props on an excellent vid and keep up the good work. Almost every time we hang out you have at least one new move you've been working out since the last time I saw you. I need to pick up my sticks again...recently I've been filling my practice time with various empty-handed dances.

^^ good to see you finally post on here again man!
We need a string session soon.
Nate said he wants to throw a meetup/get-together for his 19th birthday in a week or two

Ah i freakin loved the bowtie gumbie =D!!! Gumbies are a major bonus in my book =P! Your regular flower was okay, but maybe if you were outside with more room it might help... I thought you were going to hit the ceiling xD. Anti spin flowers, sloppy =/. And as a general critque maybe smooth things out from wraps to poi, and work on creating more combos... ya you probably know all that (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) .

nice job. only 1 year of stringing? looks like you've been at it for longer than that. nice BTB buzzsaw, and not to mention your poi and wraps have great flow in how you put them all together. i wish i was this good, i really do.
