Not Poi or Staff, Not even Contact juggling. Well ok, theres about 5 sec of CJ
Just a couple of minute film of my baby robot arm with some acrylics and some video feedback.
Steve (approving ninja) and I made it in December.

Heres the technical on my shiny-metallic-futuristic-looking package:
Foundation 720
Video codec: DIVX4 AVI (if you get no picture go to divx.com)
Audio codec: microsoft adpcm
Size: 640x480, 45mb

http://www.ContactJuggling.com/xmasvid/Drew-Foundation720.avi

There really were no editing effects used in this, not even fades and no post production,
Just straight chop edits. this is how we saw it in real life.
If you like it please post

Storyline was shite

Lovely use of video feedback fractality

Was hoping for some crazy "lots of arm segments are moving but the ball's staying put" kind of mechanical isolationism

Very very pretty, though

I like the mixture of the effect and the iso's. I did want to see more of a person doing the isolating rather than a robot arm.

I see what you were trying to do, and the effects in the background really look amazing and work well, but I would definately like to have seen more of the hand iso's. A whole person was definately not needed at all.. that was a nice touch, Or maybe I'm looking into this too much... I probably am, oh, well...

VERY trippy though How was it done?
