Lookin' good there nulleamai.
I've got to say...I found it that video challenging to watch due to the lighting and about half the time I' had a hard time actually seeing the poi. It's more to do with your dark clothing against a dark background with this hugely distracting light sky above than anything else.
I did note that in the beginning you looked a little stiff ( was it cold out? ) and towards the end you appeared to be more "into it" and moved around with more thought and confidence.

Watch the entry point into your isolations a bit more closely... the isos are good themselves, but its like you mistime the slip into them just VERY slightly. Theres two ways you can deal with this (That I'm aware of) one is to practice waiting til the precise second that they overlap and then go into the isolation... but I personally prefer to do it like I'm going to do a stall with one up and one down, both in the centre, overlapping, then go into the iso, it gets them slotting into one another perfectly.
Slow down a little, too... Sure.. I can't really be bothered watching HUGELY closely atm because I'm super tired, but I'm getting baffled a little by whats going on, I think I saw double cateyes in same direction and I've been loving them myself, also.
Tried cateyes in a butterfly hybrid? Like the triqueta but cateye?
Your floats could be a bit neater... they're not really horizontal enough, but I don't think thats the main issue... you need to slow those down a bit, I think... the real beauty in the float is the split second that it hangs in the air before it drops... it breaks the flow that you've built up so far... kind of like taking a deep breath.
Overall though, I like it. I'd like to see a bit more clarity in the movements, though... it kinda gets meshed in, but I think thats a combination of what Stout said above and a bit too much speed on it. I have a tendency for too much speed, also.
A lot of what you're doing here is quite similar to stuff I've been doing which is cool. Make sure to check out my next vid... I think it'll be the Chrimbo vid, but I'll try to make something else before then. If I remember I'll drop you a link, I'm not trying to say its not going to be rubbish, but since we're doing similar stuff I thought you'd find it interesting.
PS:
Sorry if I seem too critical. I have to play all on my own, so this is the kind of stuff I'd like to hear back on my vids. So thats the reason if its a bit too critical.
