when i see a new trick on a video i play round till i work out ish how to do it i usually have my video running when im practising. when i saw the movie kill bill and heard the bang bang song i decided that i had to do a contact stuff ups film to it. i finally got round to doing it and the vid is now hosted at



www.poiintheparkex.net



i couldnt resist the urge to make a vid and as im still collecting footage for the next "proper" vid i figured id put this one up to share my pain with the world *shrugs* hopefully im not as bad as the star wars kid

enjoy

ive put together a new video of short snippets of stuff ive been playing with, after some advice from pk i finally now understand how ur supposed to capture and compress video properly. sadly that came to late for this video as i captured the footage with different settings to what i made the movie with. all the same its only 5 and a bit meg.



jez is kindly hosting it at

its a 15.5 meg download and is fairly compressed first i compressed the avi with divx then i compressed that again into a wmv file (sorry i couldnt work out how to divx it to a set file size) so i think so long as u have the latest version of media player it should run fine. any feedback would be great

icon my biggest problem is that when it does stall horizontal i cant seem to drag it back fast enough and it ends up hitting the ground, when its a bit (ok a lot) off horizontal it gives it a bit of momentum or something so it stays on my hand still. *shrugs* mmmm more practise i guess, i think ill have to extend my grip even further.

rob i have a feeling that if we put u on a unicycle blindfolded you then got u to juggle a fish, clock and a fish bowl that u could still steve a sandwitch

a bit of trivia, although u cant see it cos i cut the video before it happens we where burning off under the bridge to get rid of al the spiders as after the burn off a million spiders shot out everywhere to get away from the heat and smoke ..... it didnt work exactly as we planned after we had spiders dangelling all around us

Ben,
Thats why I suggest off centering your hand a bit more. If your hand was another inch or two off center, there would be more weight on the outside and you would have a better pivot point letting you spin it back faster. (ie if you had a staff nailed to a board in the dead center and it was able to rotate, it would be easier to spin it if you pushed on the end of the staff than if you pushed slightly off center) You would just have to isolate it slightly to make it look right.

Then again, Im really pulling all this outta my arse as I dont spin staff Sounds logical to me though.
