New video compilation COL2005

Absolutely a great decision.

Nice one malcolm, i had a feeling you wouldn't can it

And it's a compliment that you have chosen such a similar format to "The Sphercular Community DVD"

I look forward to seeing some awesome videos later this year

Good choice,

m

Thank you Malcolm!!!

I'll get back to doing my production then!

Socks

whats the name of this new beast going to be?

so matt are u going to submit a video now mr lazyily releasing a meer 200 videos maybe u could feature some reverse inverted isolated buzzsaw antispin hyperloop spiders? or just wear a dress

Whhoooooo!!

nice one Malcolm

YEY!

Again to ask what it's called and also to ask when it's likely to be released? Pre christmas perhaps?

i think it should be called eclipsed elipse or dunc's amazing super fun happy joy joy poi poi

Truthfully, that is what COL has always been.

A community made video. The concept has not changed, just the prizes.

Therefore, it is not competition for anything and I think the name should stay the same, Circles of Light, but instead of calling it 6 perhaps calling it 2005.
Date it by year, that way it will be concidered more of a "photo" album rather than a continuation.

Even though it is a continuation.
Did that make sense?

*shrug*

Pele,

I agree, New name "Circles of Light 2005"

Basic changes are more legal requirements for copyright protection, no prizes, no competition, new name, and cheaper purchase price.

Still the same:
100% of all profits from previous COLs have been put towards cost of bandwidth for the site community.

Quick question - is contact juggling an elligible art form?

I would hope so!!

I think it would break things up nicely to have a bit of CJ on there too, although, certain people, or should I say Jedi, *cough Drew cough* would be almost guaranteed a place on there!! no jealousy intended!! Honest!!

That would then turn it from Circles of Light to Circus of Light.

I am curious. I had been wondering this myself after perusing the "other" forum.
Malcolm, where is the breaking point to which not as spinny based arts are allowed in the COL's?
Is it preferably to have a the main focus on spinning/twirling arts? (this would be my guess)

Or just something that can be lit up and manipulated? (which is just about anything)

For me one is definately representative of a place named Home of Poi while the other is more representative of circus.

I think by maintaining focus on the primary arts here on the site we allow a broader range of people the comfort zone and capability of being in the "year book" per se, where as if everyone enters various other circus based arts, those who are not as advanced but still want to enter may feel intimidated, or the entries will take a attention away from the spinning arts. Which is what HoP is based on.

I could keep going, as I have other suggestions but they keep circling around in my head and I am making myself confuzzled! lol

Hmmmmmm....curiouser and curiouser.

How about we call it, "arsn and the rest of the gang from Hop"... or you could choose to skip my sagestion and go for something a little more community based. I think the name Col is a good name. It coul be Col v2, or "Lock", (Light of Community Kind), or something like that... but don't forget to put arsn in there somewhere

Malcolm, on a side note, I'm sure that this had to have had alot of thought put into this. I know that you are and have always been proud of the Col seris. Desiding to stop the competition side of things and make only a community based project wouldn't have been an easy thing to do. I respect the fact that you have still chosen to continue bringing real videos of fellow hoppers to the homes of many. So put me down for buying a copy.

what no COL oh man

is there an echo in here?

HAH HAH !!! Sweetness. I knew you wouldn't really cancle it on us Malcolm

Ok, this year I swear to not break any bones... really... I'm in... yea...

MAybe since there is no competition this year, arashi will actually enter...

shake yo booty!

I think it's a great idea

~carrying from Pele~

I dont think there should be any other circus skills allowed on the new COL series, as indeed, it is Home of Poi and it is Circles of Light.

So unless you wer contacting with Globalls, there would be no circles of light.

I dont know.. call me a fool if you wish.

I do other stuff including other stuff including balls (Contact juggling, juggling, erm.. ) but I do think it should be restricted to Poi and staffs.

Where would you draw the line?

You allow Contact juggling one year, then juggling the next, then diablo after that, and before you know it, people are using yo-yos and miming.

I dont want any mimes artists on COL, so im taking my stand.

plus if you allow lots of other toys it'll end up just like the spherculism dvd

Just an idea.. if it's by the community for the community.. could we have a photo-montage? So everyone who wants to submit a pic of them/them spinning (with their name on, if they want) could.. then maybe they could all flash up at the end or something, in alphabetical order or whatever..?

I think it would be cool, and with DVD technology we could all freeze it on us and brag about being on a DVD

Just a nice thing for the people who aren't good enough to get a vid on it..

Just an idea.
