Forums > Videos > onewheeldaves new videos thread

As I seem to be posting a few vids these days I thought I'd start a thread and put all the new stuff in one place.



Start ing with these two: -



www.firedanceuk.com/videos/dave/threeballdave.wmv



and



www.firedanceuk.com/videos/dave/technicalpoi.wmv



Both largish files- 12.2 Mb and 14.1 Mb, but nice quality and work well in full screen mode. I'm very happy with them both; looking at them I can see some flaws and fudged moves, but, overall, they're good.



The first is a new 3 ball movie, 3 minutes of continuous, unedited footage- there's a drop towards the start which I left in to preserve the purity of the 'one take'. Soundtrack is 'Silence' by Delerium.



Second is 3 1/2 minutes of 'tecnical poi'; all the one hand and release based stuff I've been working on recently. Soundtrack is Kruger and Dorfmeister? with a remix of a Depeche mode track.



Whilst it would be naive of me to suppose that other people haven't come up with many of these moves, I think it's fair to say that even the most hard core spinners will see some stuff in here that they've not seen before (see breakdown below for a list of the moves).



I owe IMMENSE thanks to Tempest for these vids as he not only shot the footage and gave me nine hours on his computer to edit them, but has also supplied an upload space for them- Cheers Liam



I can't say how long they're going to be up for, if I make some new vids I'll probably take the old ones down to make room.



As always, feedback is sought after; good feedback provides incentive to make more movies, negative feedback (if well put) provides info on how to improve future efforts.



Hope you enjoy these two.

'Technical Poi'



Breakdown of moves.



These are the names I've been using for the moves, I've tried to name only stuff that I've not seen anyone else do, but I expect other people have come up with similar stuff and have their own names.



1. a Sequence of one hand butterfly moves

2. turning split plane butterfly

3. from one hand butterfly, a 'tap' with the free hand to convert it to a one hand figure eight

4. under the leg release straight into a one hand figure eight

5. turn into a reverse weave with releases

6. turn back into one hand figure eight, then, facing forward 'snatch' a poi and convert to a one hand butterfly

7. various weave releases, including releases from one hand into catches with the same hand

(fade)

8. with a one handed butterfly, a 'floor start' with second set of poi into 'doubles'

9. a 'UPR' (unplanned poi release)

(fade)

10. a 'death and resurrection' i.e. both poi caught one one arm in a draped fashion, with free hand grab the tails and pull into a one hand butterfly

11. 'tap' into a one hand behind the back pass

12. camera zooms in to a sequence of wraps

(fade)

13. the 'albatross' a consequtive double release sequence I've posted about elsewhere on the video section

14. 'augmented 5 beat' a move I've been doing a while now which I've not seen anywhere else; from a weave, get the extra beat by going into a partial one hand figure eight for 180 degrees turn of the poi, then take out with the free hand, back into weave, and repeat on other side.

15. more under the leg releases

16. 'orbits' i.e. one hand maintains a circle whilst the other continually releases and catches around it. I didn't realize how nice this relatively simple move looked until seeing it on the video

16. a 'two handed one hand butterfly' where the one hand butterfly exists for only one beat then the other hand takes it for one beat etc.
