nice song, remember to turn the auto focus off keep up the good work

Posted: 24th Jan 2007
Will do so. Thanks for the positive comment

Posted: 24th Jan 2007
two things that would make it better:
no autofocus, and some background light

however, i really, really like the vid. you obviously have a lot of fun spinning. and the dancing with the tangle is inspired

makes me want to shout 'vortex' and grin

Holistic Spinner (I hope)

Thanks alot my friend.

Yes, that autofocus thing ruined alot of stuff. I still havn't found out how to turn it off in my camcoder.

As for lights in the background, ill just have to find a better place to spin.

Cheers!

Dude Keep up thegood work .

What kind of wicks are u spinning .

Posted: 31st Jan 2007
I'm spinning 'em Salza tube poi. With linkchains, not bulletchains or whatever those things are called. Even with hyperloops I can't stand bulletchains...



Glad you liked the video... My next video might be a bit on the techny side.

Nice. The auto focus is a little annoying but the spinning makes up for it.
I really like the way you move with your poi, also the speed changes are really effective keep up the good work.

Really enjoyed watching that. Nice spinning.

Thank you very much, everyone!

I'll def. Try to keep up with this video and progress from it. I feel I was kinda lucky to get this one on camera =)

Updates the first post with a new sock poi video. Purely made for inspiration and practice. At least it's funky, so check it out!



EDIT: Deleted said video... I hated it.

Btw, Bluecat, what does shouting "Vortex" mean really ? I never understood that comment.

Posted: 23rd Feb 2007
Since the weaknesses have already been addressed ( with the added bonus I could watch this on full screen without getting pissed off ) I've got to say that your spinning looks great.

Have you considered visiting the HoP shop and treating yourself to a set of cathedral wicks? You''ll be impressed...I know these things.

What's a "firefly move" ??

Posted: 23rd Feb 2007
Thank you very much =)

Well, I don't know if you know the toy known as "Firefly" anyhow it's two handles and a chain they are connected... in the middle of the chain there's some kevlar.. then a "Firefly move" in this sense would be me. connecting the poi heads together and doing typical firefly movements. I just seem to get into them all the time without having a proper control of it, and it's awesome, and fun. Most of the time I can get out of it when I can, but improvising it is alot of fun! ( This came from practicing what to do when failing different moves to make failing look gracious ).

Anyhow...
I have tried cathedral wicks before. I never liked the feel of them. So, I decided to buy myself a pair of Isis Poi, they are made the same way as an Isis staff. Makes for gigantic flame, somewhat heavy 200g each, without beeing soaked in kerosene. There's an image on my blog:

It's a bit sad, my last fireshow, which had some awesome moments ( partially because of the choreographed bits ) was filmed so poorly. I will try to salvage it tho =)

Posted: 28th Feb 2007
Posted my new fire video. Comments are welcome. This video features two intended "Firefly" moments.

Posted: 28th Feb 2007
Sorry - that's barely watchable
Re-film it with a proper camera!

Burner of Toast
Spinner of poi
Slacker of enormous magnitude

Posted: 28th Feb 2007
Haha, yeah, it's truly terrible.

Except for ( again camera problems ) the angle of the camera, it's pretty solid spinning I think tho... It's such a shame, aww.

I will make up for it, I promise =)

Uploading new video now. Will update mainpost later tonight when done.

This has fire, it has some nice editing. And excellently filmed! ( good camera ).

Cheerios

quite nice video. but... autofocus..

Posted: 11th Mar 2007
The autofocus is redeemed in this new video ( Look at first post ). However i got some tiny problem with the whitebalance and lights in the "scene" instead... And here I wanted that dramatic/red effect all the way through!

Allright, updated first post to the new embedded video-style.

Posted: 20th Mar 2007
mmm, a nice, bouncy spin...


'vortex' was the shout that went up last year and the year before( i think) whenever anyone did a 'move' which involved getting tangled and pretending you meant it

Holistic Spinner (I hope)

Thanks for the explanation and the comment man.
Your all wonderful!

I hope a new video will be up in short =)

Posted: 20th Oct 2007
Added a video from my close and dear performance group Modernicum. Our dream is to live on what we do ( Not only fire ) but for now, that will have to do.



=)



Enjoy!

New vid. Tell me what you think:





That was an awesome show I had with my group, Modernicum =)

Posted: 15th Jun 2008
Diggin the choons. The flow looks nice I only got a quick view, I'll repost if my opinion develops more on a second watch when I get more time... but a tripod might be a wise investment. :P





AHA! This one has already been seen! I see, I see. Thanks for reposting, anyway, I hadn't yet spotted it.
