MikeSpin.avi

This is just a short video I took to show my cousin. I originally wasnt going to post it but figured why not. Nothing fancy here, no special graphics, neato scene transitions, or even a music track. Just a few demo moves... And it was about 20 degrees out so they dont even look that great

DynamikDysfunktion.avi

So the weather round here has been beginning to warm up. That means my poi and I are too. Tonight I brought out my poi for my first burn of the new year and this is the footage. My best vid to date but thats not really saying much. Im a bit rusty but its a small taste of things to come. Also, making his debut is my friend Stan who shows off his hair singing skills starting at 3:34 Enjoy.

Its starting to get hotter out and the poi arent helpin. Its about time I made a new video. Been wanting to for the past week or two now but managed to forget repeatedly. I finally was able to catch myself on film last night and got it edited in time for work Nothing too spectacular, but a few nice moves in there. Hope yall enjoy.

gwbhilitez.avi

More footage from NY in '04. This one took place under the George Washington Bridge during some illegal psy party heh. The footage itself was taken by Skunk and its *very* shaky (note to self: do not use Skunks as tripods), but, I really like some of the stuff that can almost be seen in this vid. I was having a blast that night and decided to share my hilights!

::BREATHING IN BOSTON::



At the end of March I taught a poi workshop at Brandeis college in Massachusetts. Later, after the workshop, Chad Bennett had a little fire gathering at his new house in Salem. Blue Haired Sarah and I decided to try some fire breathing passes and I put on a little show for the folks as well. I had someone use my camera to film it and I'm finally getting it out on the net. Its not much of a performance, but there are a few decent tricks in here. Enjoy!








Thanks to fNi for hooking me up with the workshop gig, to Chad for hosting the jam, to Sarah for breathing with me, and to the dude (whoever you are) that worked my camera.

ur videos are definately becoming higher quality,the day time twirling with fire was awesome as it was really easy to see what was happening, lots of nice poi moves in there.



just a little constructive criticism (i know u want it i read ur post on poiinthepark ) as far as the editing side of things goes, firstly get a tripod, secondly its cool u have video of ur buddy twirling but putting tangles n untangles i personally wouldnt add that unless its a bloopers vid. i would have cut quite a few bits (like there are bits of just swinging circles on either side) and i would have spliced ur twirl with ur friends so that u have one set of u one of him rather than all ur sets then all his. i would also add a title n ur name on it so that ppl know whos vid it is after all uv gone to all the effort of making it u may as well let ppl know who did it.
