My only fire video: 'The Joy of Staff'.

cus every family needs to experience the joy of staff.

dude, you don't wanna know how long i spent thinking up names worse than that!

It's moi performing several doubles sets.



details, credits and links are at the download page.



Only the 4.6Mb low resolution version & the 12.4Mb higher resolution versions are now up, due to the efforts of flid, smallboy and above all jez for storing the fat version.

credits are also due for the firey Zoltar and the loverly katey for filming this piece. i love youse!



all you need to twirl staff is a staff smile



Um this video has been lost of a few year, and now it's been reuploaded... to youtube smile








Alot has happened since August 2003!!

If you don't mind putting the video file in a zip so that people don't stream off the server (which completely cains bandwidth) and have to download it, i can mirror your high bandwidth one for a few months and donate a few gigs of transfer on a machine in London (100mbit). PM me if you're interested.

Bender, Awesome work.

Inspirational stuff - just makes me wanna grab two sticks and manipulate em.

Love the 3D graphics/animation work - what software did you use for that??

So..... when is release date for the next project?

So much fire, so little body hair...

oh cass, you do have div-x installed, but it has to be the newest version (5.0.5), and yes there's a greater chance of it working if you play it through the Div-X player, as opposed to the standard media player youse get with windows.
The small amount of vibile footage is the 'poster frames' I deliberately created little poster framing to reduce file size.
Great to hear from yoo again! videos aren't the same without your cool voice heckling..

Hiya Mr Dan! thanks for the comment, although i have to only do a 1/2 setup for the bfly kick (so as not to stop the flow of fwirlage) so i only get half the height/rotation. Chris Morant (the doubles twirler who i looketh up to the most) would kill me for such shortcuts

Jo and Dio, there's heaps more footage i is got, but they are even darker and have passers-by blocking stuff.. it's funny how hard it is to create useable footage, but the learning curve begins

Senore Zoltar,
the footage was shot by Zoltar,
the grafficx were done in Fireworks MX, 3D Studio MAX 4.0, composited in Photoshop 6.5. The video was tweaked in After Effects 5.0, composited in Premiere 6.0.

I will be definitely releasing footage of november EC, but ima not sure about before that (i have to burrow my bro's camera every time and hence don't wanna take too many trips to the well!) The cameras we used are very very similar, the rest of the footage was shot on a MV600i!

until then, ima releasing just small .gif animations for the tutorial site..

yea, um, I forgot to mention... I realy liked the double kneck wrap/passes, or whatever te heck it is, were you cross the staves all around your body..... you know what I am talking about? it looks like you are passing them simultaneousely or something and it wraps around your waste and arms and legs and kneck,,,, anyways, cool stuff.

Bender, I noticed you've got an aerial demo animation on your site, do you think you could possibly throw up a Butterfly Kick demo as well? You're my new idol until I can get those two tricks down

erm, yes mr dantana, i calls em a (wrapping) neck swaps. Each combination performed on the video is simply executing a series of different variations of the same movement as that found in the wrapping swaps tutorial.
It's a tasty way of transitioning into a double BTB palmspin.

Mr Dio, although the areobatics component of that kick looks like a butterfly kick, i do not perform the two-step launch, meaning that i don't really have the right to call it a butterfly kick.
dispensing with a two step launch halves the rotational speed and power from a bfly kick, but makes for a move that interrupts flowing movement the least. You are right though, it probably would be nice to have a lesson - perhaps it should be called 'bfly kick (short launch)' It would be more useful to teach the proper blfy kick too, becuase it's easier to pull off. aw poo now i dunno what to do!

Mr Fallout, the stress of no more Buffy has gotten too much to bear hey?

Everyone keeps asking me if I've seen Benders new video

But then I just casually mention that I get to spin with Bender nearly every week.....

ahhhh I'm so cruel!

Wicked video man, and I made a blanket offer to everyone when I got my site.

Awesome and inspiring as always, and as soon as I pick up doubles again I'll take it apart frame by frame -

Keep spinning -

Me loved the video too especially the funky jumps.

Also letting you know that the download page at the top of this thread does not link to the hi-res version, you have to follow a couple of links first until you find it.
