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!

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.
--------------------
I see GSC "culture" as a group of wise, kind, and fun individuals who are bent out of shape to preserve the "culture". In preserving the "culture" these individuals will go out of their way to act arrogant, rude, egotistical, and pompous. I guess they think the ends justify the means. So really they themselves seem to be ruining the "culture" because they are not acting the way that they should in order to maintain peace. For a culture of love to occur one cannot act rashly, when slapped one must simply turn the other cheek. Its a crusade, fighting to end the fighting...
This is my opinion. I won't argue it.
