First of all, congrats to all who made it on the tape and had the courage to submit. That is awesome, and something I have yet to do. Everyone did a *GREAT* job! (I can not emphasize that enough)
Next, THANK ALL OF YOU WHO SPUN IN MORE THAN FIRELIGHT!!!!!!! I remember the rules distinctly stating that there needed to be a source of light beyond the fire/spinning element and many seemed to ignore this, which makes it really hard to watch those segments. Body motion is a huge part of the spinning style, and the interest of watching for many, so it was great to see so many take that into concideration.
There were a couple video's that had some real artistic presentation and that was cool to see.
Pois in the Hood...who is the one in the reddish shirt? The movement style is aboslutely intoxicating for me to watch. I have rewound and watched the beginning many times. I loved the elements they included in their video..commentary, comedy, spinning, etc. Very nice indeed.
Now to the matter that is driving me nuts....who did the song for FIRE SISTERS segment? The Flamenco sounding song. I am aboslutely in love with that song! I simply must get a copy of it to perform a dance routine to! There are two other songs I loved, the next one during the Fire Sisters and then one later. Is it possible to get a music list with titles and artists in order of appearance? I know it is making alot of extra work, but some of those songs are simply too yummy for me to pass up Malcolm! There is also the song on the Pele's Element beginning that I would love as well, oh god that one was passionate!
And if you who made the music are reading, can I use them PLEASE? *on knees begging*
In fact, all the music was really awesome and I wouldn't turn away a soundtrack either, but those songs had me...
Malcolm, you have once again outdone yourself!
And...expect an email from me in fairly short order my friend!
Love to all and again great job and congrats!

I have to say as well that the video is very inspiring. Forgot to mention that.
And I have a question for Dantana, sweetie, how is it that you do not singe your body hair off?
Hugs!

Ok. First of all thank you for everybody who spin on the video and to Malcolm for making the video. It's truly inspiring.
Second, I guess this happens with every compilation that some of the people who sent a video are dissappointed with what finally gets on the video. For example when sending a 4 minute doublestaff routine that I practised like hell for and there's only 1 minute of it in there and even the easiest tricks from the beginning of the set, it makes me wonder. I understand the process of making the compilation, i'm not mad. i know everybody only got a minute or two that's cool but i would've rather seen the real tricks from me on the video.
I had my full video on the net for a few days before i took it off due to a common concern of people putting their col4 videos on the net and nobody buying it anymore. I think i'll cut out the minute that's on col4 and put it back on.. what do you think about this...?
no hard feelings though.. i'll get over this..

and my vote goes to.. was it Electron? the guy that's almost last on col4

ok.... first off
lovely video....
got to pick one of about 6 people.... but its all old skool except nix... what gives?
i i have to agree with antti(ps do you know tulikansa? great freinds of mine)... if he had 4 minutes of footage, then more should have been on and less videos in total...
i know i did not enter and so forfeit some right to complain, and that on the whole malcolm you have done an amazing job... but there is some not so great spinning in there on what should be (and is!)the best fire spinning video to date.
sorry for negativism but lovely tho it is for some less experienced spinners to be on col4 i think they are seen in a worse light because they are next to some truly inspiring and amazing spinners.

right rob beat me to my own PC, god damnit how dare he!
well after the much aticipated arrival of the finished product, i have to admit i liked it more than i thought i would.
there were so many good performances overall and some that i thought were not as good as i hoped they would be.
pois in the hood! though i feel i have seen this sequence so many times over. i feel it worked better with the amelie track. nick your still awsome though.
Nomad rocked!
bender:
the older tempest thats a little shorter than the other, i loved your section.
pele's element: awsome set, though the most unlit stage i have ever seen with a thousand candles.
dio: nice and clean and also visable which i like.
urban fire tribe: nicest video i have ever seen put together, awsome editing.
jo: de planes.
dan: awsome as ever.
nix?: tom man, to know you is an honour, your set was truly inspiring to see what you put together and from what you were like 6 months ago, you would totally get my vote if i had one.
though just because i have named names, doesnt make every one i havn't named bad, they were all extremly good, and nice one for entering, if it wasnt for enterants there would be no video and no one would be feeling inspired any more, some people only have access to videos like COL and they most certainly serve a purpose, people like to learn from them.
i have to agree with rob, that there could have been so much more new school on there but there wasn't, oh well, its around people can see it else where.
total props to malcolm for putting time and effort into giving us another fantastic video.
be kewl....

Not that Malcolm needs defense, but as to the neg aspects of people's critiques, many video's sent in were not useable as people used things like...little to no light or autofocus. He used what he could and did a damn fine job. Many times tech moves are not flowy, and if you'll notice most, if not all, of the sequences are flowy. (It's why Nix? was awesome to see, he had the perfect combos of everything..not to hard to be choppy, not too easy to be circles, flowy, smoothe, well lit....)
Sure I have seen pretty freakin' close to everything on the tape, as have all of us I think, done by others but it was still awesome to see. It's one of the reasons I think the vids submitted by Pois and Urban Fire Tribe were so awesome...skill, fun and artfulness.
It's about style, and there is alot more of that on this COL than most others.
Still waiting to hear the music list though!

I totally agree with you, in regard to the disappointment I felt when about 1 minute of my video was used out of a 5 minute video. It's probably because I sent it in so late! I just wished that they showed some of my aerials :-)Oh well, the tape turned out alright, I haven't seen the three previous ones just yet but I will soon.

Just for clarification, the voting privilege is only given to people who purchased the tape, correct? Free copies given to the entrants (either the one for submitting, or both for making it on) do not get this privilege?

Cool!I havent looked at this thread since I started it and theres all these opinions here!
Nekobasu Im inclined to agree with you not to dis Malcome because Im very impressed with is effort but the editing in some cases was a bit of a bummer.We sent in 3 entrys that got edited into 1 which wasnt a very clear representation of what we sent in.....
Suggestion COL 4 Uncut the Directors edition.
This should satisfy everyone who feels short changed by the editing prosess.
Pele I understand that the quality of the cut footage my leave somthing to be desired but the content is what we are proud of not the camera work.Also tech moves are like any other moves they flow when you are able to make them,every move that you can do can be sliped seemlessly into a set if you know it properly.For some people style might be the be all and end all but personally I come from a juggling background so for me the tricks and the tech is where its @ the style comes with doing it!

It's like the difference between watching a piece that tells how a movie was made versus the movie itself. You don't need to know all the tech stuff to appreciate the style of the movie. You don't need the instructional video to appreciate the styles of dance in a showcase. They are both wonderful and each have their place. This how to's is where you learn the stuff, the showcase is where you show how you figured to put it together, and that's what COL is.
quote:And you should be proud but a copy of an unclear copy is worse. Be proud of your moves sure, but good camera work ensures that other people can see that as well, which is why it was deemed important enough to be in the submission guidelines.

Knowing that Malcolm is busy and realizing he prolly skipped over me begging for who did those songs....
Now that other people have seen the video, do any of you know who did them? I know they are on that relatively short list...but I am still at a loss.

yup tech videos are availiable on the net and thanks to malcolm we have a section to make them more widly availiable.
but as for COL! its an opportunity for EVERYONE to enter and show us all whats what, i live with and work with and friends with some of the most technical spinners i have met in my time, but not one of them entered except Tom [nix? / +)] why the **** not? robexcluded lazy man he is!
so yeah, one hyperloop and an airwrap from me and isolations from Tom! thats pretty all the new school stuff in col4 and flow they did too you see if every one felt the same about sending in footage we would have the most amazing video and every one would be happy, but every year i think were going to be fronted with this very same argument, seems the same as last year to me, people not happy with this and that, but unless we manage to change the way every HoPper thinks about submitting then we should all just accept what we have managed to create on our own. If it wasn't for the 50 or so of us that did submit footage we wouldn't have col4.
i thought every one who got on the video was extremely good, and those entrants that got cut short or what ever, you got on! and we all enjoy seeing even just a minute of footage from some one different.
to end this.... pele, tech flows baby! but tech comes from the more advanced hoppers. As i stated there was very little tech in col4, but its still a ****ing damn good video. nice one malcolm
At the end of the day the argument for wanting to see tech poi comes from the techy poi nerds who want to learn and see more advanced stuff, not just weaves and butterflies. Not every one has the opportunity to meet with some hoppers such as Glass! those that do; end up poi nerds. The argument is, that others need to be able to see tech stuff too, not every one can download stuff from the net, not when average techy videos are any where between 15-90MB in size. col is a canvas that neets to be used by tech poi nerds and just isnt! no changing their minds!
be kewl guys.

but as for COL! its an opportunity for EVERYONE to enter and show us all whats what, i live with and work with and friends with some of the most technical spinners i have met in my time, but not one of them entered except Tom [nix? / +)] why the **** not? robexcluded lazy man he is!
so yeah, one hyperloop and an airwrap from me and isolations from Tom! thats pretty all the new school stuff in col4 and flow they did too you see if every one felt the same about sending in footage we would have the most amazing video and every one would be happy, but every year i think were going to be fronted with this very same argument, seems the same as last year to me, people not happy with this and that, but unless we manage to change the way every HoPper thinks about submitting then we should all just accept what we have managed to create on our own. If it wasn't for the 50 or so of us that did submit footage we wouldn't have col4.
i thought every one who got on the video was extremely good, and those entrants that got cut short or what ever, you got on! and we all enjoy seeing even just a minute of footage from some one different.
to end this.... pele, tech flows baby! but tech comes from the more advanced hoppers. As i stated there was very little tech in col4, but its still a ****ing damn good video. nice one malcolm
At the end of the day the argument for wanting to see tech poi comes from the techy poi nerds who want to learn and see more advanced stuff, not just weaves and butterflies. Not every one has the opportunity to meet with some hoppers such as Glass! those that do; end up poi nerds. The argument is, that others need to be able to see tech stuff too, not every one can download stuff from the net, not when average techy videos are any where between 15-90MB in size. col is a canvas that neets to be used by tech poi nerds and just isnt! no changing their minds!
be kewl guys.

Malcolm...Thank you!
PK...that is total agreement. I think the video is wonderful, and that there is no reason to complain really.
I don't enter because of personal insecurity issues. I can not stand the way I look more often than not (still battling the whole fat and ugly perception drilled into me since I was a child) and knowing how critical people can be of video's, and I am not always confident in my spinning. Thusly, I am *really* nervous about submitting one. I constantly say maybe next time but it is more of something I have to reconcile in myself before I can put myself out there on something that will be around awhile. I need to get over my whole perfectionist thing before I can entertain the idea. Does that make sense? Not that I am an advanced spinner. I just felt I should explain.
