Uberparis *updated* Booking now open

Maelle and Dom... twas really lovely to see you guys...

Hopefully somewhere again soon

Yup...what an awesome weekend It's all pretty much been covered so I won't again.

Big up to BCC. Big up to Rob. Special shout out to Olive: you are the HOMME for letting us all into your home

Josh...great article, however there are definitely people working with propane (by the sounds of it, not to the same degree as in SF), and many people have worked with coloured flames (I think the general consensus seems to be that they're hassle for not much effect. *Please prove me wrong!!!*)

For mechanised stuff try "Atlantis SFX" from Berlin, UK's "Dreamon", Oz's "Temple State" and the *awesome* UK/Oz crew "Mutoid Waste Co." whose pyrotechnic prowess was on display this year at Glastonbury... I'm sure there will be much to find on the web about them by now. There is also the Robodock festival in Rotterdam that has lots of general mecha stuff and usually firey stuff. There's also an array of [censored] hot French and Spanish companies who create mega shows that usually can only be performed at government funded city festivals due to the size and nature of what they do. SO thery're harder to find but working on a much larger scale. Yes, definitely not as much as seems to be concentrated in SF but it is there and it's bloody good.

Well....roll on 2UberOz!

The notes from my workshops are up on my site now, if ya didn't go / didn't get a copy / want to translate them.

Rob: dunnoe where to put them on the uber site. Let me know if you know something.

Echoing the sentiment expressed here: Uber Paris was awesome!! Thanks so much to Rob, Ros, BCC and everyone else who organised it - it was wonderful! Thanks also to Das for letting us stay round yours for so long!

It was great to meet so many lovely and hugely talented people, maybe some of you can come to the UK soon? Play festival is coming up...

So Rob, when's the next one?

Nice.

Not much more to add.
Big to all

I made a video today for the next uber,

I still haven't got the energy to do the whole thing right now, but I feel like I should do it soon before i forget....

However, suffice to say it was absolutely incredible. great teachers, hosts, fire, performances, friendliness, amazing skills - easily the highest concentration of talented spinners I have ever seen in one place....

so:

Massive THANK YOUs to

Das and all of Burn Crew Concept, for such hard work, and for making it all possible
Shivan and everyone who hosted some lost spinners while they were in Paris
All the teachers - nothing but positive feedback, and some very, VERY inspired people left your workshops.
All the show performers - I think the consensus vote is that that show was the best spinning show ever seen, so be proud.
Particular thanks on my part to Dave Knox, who was there for the first Uberevent, and finally came back to be a big part of another one.
And of course, to my lovely Ros (FNF), who keeps me sane, at the same time as being talented, beautiful, and much better organised than me.

btw i heard from the people who went to the Cirque du Soleil show afterwards that some (or all?) thought Saturday's show was better! maybe someone should invite them to the next über-workshops..... but of course charge them quadruple and tack on royalties for whatever they use in their own shows

but....photos, footages???
Please share them!!!!

Acciaio :devoil:

oh yeah, I suppose it's too much to hope someone filmed the amazing show?

er - most of the filming done there will go towards one of three dvds, so will not be freely available, i'm afraid....
there will be a double UberEurope/UberParis dvd, and steve was filming for 'The hunt for the Avant Gardner....'



you might have to wait a while, but i promise it'll have been worth it

tons of photos, about 11,000 though down to about 9,500 right now (still lots of looking and deleting to be done!) plus a few nifty time-lapse movies which you may have seen on the projector before/after the show or at Olive's any number of times. Dunno if Rob wants to distribute them specially or if i should use my server (got a new one) but i'll try to put up some highlights as i find time, though i've been working a lot (coz i ditched work last week to stay in paris for Fete de la Musique so work has piled up...

*le sigh*

Hey hey hey !!

ok then, i upped my favorite 2 time-lapses to my server:
http://public.glenneroo.org/?path=timelapse/unfinished/uberparis

To get them, right-click on each one, then SAVE TARGET AS.

They are XviD encoded. If you do NOT know what that means, you should watch them with VLC - get it here: www.videolan.org


WARNING!!! THEY ARE BY NO MEANS FINISHED!!! No sound, effects, etc... that will come... eventually...

ok first bit of finished pics uploaded to my (other) server:
http://www.mediamax.com/glenneroo/Links/324BBBE8E8

you'll (unfortunately) need a login to get the files, but then you'll get free 25GB space to upload your files as well

they're not the originals, just 1024 pixels across.. originals coming soon, as with the rest...

or if you want them NOW i can skype them to you =) - skype name: glenneroo
