I know that I should have put this through the media center, and I know that it could have been hosted, but I'm impatient and all of that jazz, so I'm going to just put it up for youtube for now. If this does well and gets a good response then I'll go about getting this through the media center.
The song of choice (thanks to DJ Sparow for this one) is Pascal Feliz- Reflection.
All I have to say is Wow. I have never really been a fan of handles, always seems to be too much. I, however loved this video. Your technique is so smooth, especially with the slow speed. You can really see the intricacy of your movements and how clean everything comes off. You truly are a master of your art. Well done.
That was just amazing man. Your color switches are amazing. I actually was inspired by one of your videos. It was way back when i didn't know about glowsticking.com. You move really well with the music, and its very smooth
I don't have much to critique because I'm still a new stringer. Although, I usually prefer some light so I can see the glowsticks movement more clearly. Overall, it was exceptional.

Good stuff man! For a second i thought i was watching the original inspirational video you made a year or two ago, but then i realized i was wrong; very wrong. Imo, this is much cleaner stuff than ive ever seen you do before.
Me likey! The song, the style, its a great vid. Please dont let it be the last one. We want to see your progression through the handles mastery!
1:44: I said, "WTF was that?!?!?!" lol 2:02: Beautiful pairing of a shotgun with head traces!!! I wish i could do that. 2:37: Sexy toss followed immediately by a sexy shotgun giving the whole thing a continous-isolation kind of look.
All in all, pretty impressive stuff. You definitely have your own handles style, one which infuses a lot of glowsticking-pride-type moves with the flare of what handles offers. Very nice!!!!!!
Thanks for all of the comments, it's nice to hear that I haven't lost it over all of this time.
As for the one confusion that has come up so far, it's a contact poi move that happens at 1:44 as well as a few other times throughout the video. You wrap from the underside of your thigh, let it hit your thigh, then when it's comming off of your thigh wrap your oposite wrist, it then bounces back to your thigh, but when it comes off of your thigh and back to your wrist you let go of the stick in your right hand, let the other stick wrap around your wrist, and with a touch of power you spin the stick around your wrist ending up with the same color that you started out with when you started the entire mess.
By the way, my roommate is suprised that even at lower speeds you guys can understand a single thing that goes on during the entire video. He is still trying to figgure out what happened.
Very nice I love watching handles videos there like so much shit going on its really hard to follow sometimes. I like the behind the back color switch toss you did that was way sick. Also the speed you where going was kinda slow which made it even more trippy to watch. (IMG:http://www.glowsticking.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/thumbsup.gif)

There were these moments where the framerate skipped a little and I really wished I knew what you did exactly, because it was pretty amazing.. these moments seemed to happen every 3 seconds from say.. 0:13 to... 3:49.. or so. Excellent.

My newest video. Myspace! Hit me up on AIM: at "APDoctor89"! Northern Nevadan? PM Me! [[Northern Nevada Rep]] Bring back the fun threads in the Automotive forum =)
I followed most of it, even though I don't do handles lol.
Since the theme was slow stuff and all, I felt like you flowed through that pretty well. The first time i saw that under the leg/wraparoundyoruarm/letgoofstrings/regripstringsoverleg thing I went WOAH.
But then you did it a couple of times. Is that your standard wrap combo for filler or...
The funny part is that the leg contact poi combo is my newest move, and it's not consitant at all, so the reason it's in there quite a bit is because I kept on trying to get a good video of it. It's my newest move so it does end up in the video a few times just from my own excitement that I finally am able to pull it off.
Thanks for all of the reviews, it's nice to hear them, I was really afraid that the reviews were going to be more along the lines of, "This is just like your old video but slower" so it's nice to hear the comments. Thanks again guys.
EDIT: Just so you know there is the high quality version on youtube, so if you're having difficulties with frame rates or anything along those lines, I would suggest trying out the high quality footage.
