I made a video for the brylcreem "effortless" competition (win money and be in their next ad by doing something effortless and cool, different from my COL entry) so i thought id stick it up here as well. Its only short but i like it, see what you think.

If you like it please can you rate it, i think that it helps my chance of winning, and i could really do with the money

Nice one Sandy. I think it was a lot more effortless than your earlier vids. Good stuff. Hope you're lucky in the competition.

Thanks Antti, it was actually watching the video of your routine at the EJC that made me think i should try to tidy up my spinning a bit, thanks for the inspiration.

Nice one Sandy! Short and sweet! Like the video...
Definitely come a long way since Leeds 2! Liking the not-quite-overhead shots!
(I need more practice...)
UCOF, that would've been acceptable had that guy remembered the lyrics (maybe not), not even good enough to watch on mute!

it's been a few weeks since you put that up, and i just tried using google to search for 'brylcreem effortless'
the T&C's for the comp are first, and then there's your vid in 2nd, 3rd and 6th across different sites
1st, 3rd and 5th for 'brylcreem effortless competition' too, I'd be pretty pissed if you didn't do well
(wish 2bag's had more exposure too though, they're ace vids, you both totally creem (sic) anything else out there)

yeah, I've seen tons of fairly good tries where they really should gone back and reshot to remove lots of drops and/or other screw ups that totally ruin the effect.
hehe, that's a real nice vid btw

drops shouldn't even be an issue.
Concentrating on what your doing: not effortless.
Looking at what your doing: probably cos your concentrating: not effortless. Concentration face: not effortless.
Moving your body fast (or at all) in order to complete a trick: not effortless.
Trying to look good while doing a trick: check the word 'trying' in that sentence: not effortless.
standing in one spot doing a trick: why are you just standing there? If it was effortless, why aren't you doing something else are the same time?
manu laude should really know better... Le sigh.

Sounds like the most effortless thing I could do is have a car smash whilst ermm.. changing the Cd with my eyes shut...

yeah cool, maybe we should all enter competitions and ignore what the judges are looking for. Obviously, that requires less effort.

Normal day? How many times do those guys go back and forth from your house in a normal day without actually going anywhere? Actually I don't think Thomas actually leaves the house...!

Sweet, id actually nearly forgotten about this competition what with all the festivals we have been practicing for (not the least of which being Play in ohh 24 hours!)
Meg that video rocks, if it had been entered, i dont think i would stand a chance, as is i still dont recon i'll get anywhere, they seem to be more bothered about a few of the animation videos that got submitted. Not exactly effortless skills since i know (from experience) how long it takes to put together an animation. Still, the advertising world will go with whatever is most popularat the time, i'm not expecting to win but its nice people liked my video and there's still a chance.
