Wow, USA really representing this year. Rather lack-luster effort from the UK spinners, good to see Danny entering this time though. Come on Brits, we've got loads of talent on this little island!

Excellent, I can't wait to see this!

...i'm still figuring out a way to get this dvd cheaply to the Philippines. too bad that HOP no longer allows postal service due to missing parcels. if i use courier service, i'd have to pay more than 4 times the price of the dvd! darn!

Posted: 20th Nov 2009
So has anyone actually got a copy yet?

"Don't do it naked!"

Posted: 20th Nov 2009
I have mine, a lot of it's great, but some aren't my thing.
Your and Rob's video was bloody awesome

Posted: 22nd Nov 2009
Have been told I will get a copy for Christmas. Looking forward to it.

cheers

Posted: 30th Nov 2009
Do the people on the DVD still get a free copy? Mine still hasn't arrived

"Don't do it naked!"

Posted: 30th Nov 2009
Yeah, I got mine. Have you e-mailed HOP with your address?

Posted: 30th Nov 2009
Mine hasn't arrived either... My address went on one of those forms, but I haven't e-mailed it in since...

My 2 cents:

I loved watching this video. So many different and interesting ideas. I picked 5 favourites based on a)concept of video b) technique/flow c)costuming and background d)sticking to one prop - for some reason the videos that always resonate with me are when only one prop is used instead of jumping between differeint ones (eg staff to poi to staff etc)


Fave 5 (n no particular order):

Everyone is Happy - I'm not even a staff spinner and I loved this video. I thought the setting was great and I loved how the spinning went with the music. The whole concept of the video was fun. Really it was over to quickly for me!

Loooop - I've enjoyed watching some of your other videos aswell. You guys have a great style and flow together. The way this one was shot and with the music it was almost like I was watching a tango between 3 people.

M32.2 - Very cool video. It was very well thought out and I loved seeing two people spin in suits You guys had some moments of perfect synchronicity - awesome. I loved the drawing editing thing too.

Encyclo-Poi-dia - I liked this video alot. Less from a performance aspect and more from a learning aspect. I loved hearing your ideas and visions for poi. Shooting in such a dynamic space aswell I felt really added to what you were saying. I will definetly be watching this one again to see what else I pick up on the second time.

Will Kim Jong-un Wear a Jumpsuit? - Obviously I love partner poi I thought you guys were great. You had a nice flow and nice technique and obviously ALOT of chemistry The only thing that makes me hesitate to put you here was the lack of costuming.


Honorable mentions:

Hilltop spin: absolutely the cutest beginning to a video ever!

Hisui: that lift at the begining was beautiful and I loved the attention to symmety in many of your shots.


Videos that had something special that jumped out at me:

Witches Sabbath - The scenes with the fans were just beautiful. I wish I could've been there to watch you make this video.

MCP - the section where you mimicked what you did with the small staff with the big staffs was really cool. As was the shot from overhead of you doing that matrix type move.


Anyways that is just my opinion and really I thought everyone did a great job and I will definetly be watching a few again to dissect some trix.

Hmmm. SO my first day back in Oz will include a long swim, watching Kyle's copy of COL and going to a hardcore ninja circus show. Sounds like a good day! Will post extensive and informed opinions at my leisure

Any news on winners?

My favorites this year were:
Hisui, Greg and Margaret, Rob and Sandy, MCP, and Pyrodynamics (and myself :P)

Posted: 22nd Dec 2009
Some real' badass stuff on the video, for sure. I love all the partner poi stuff. Looks great!

Alien Jon, hands down, fried my brain. MCP was great, as always.

Lots of other great ones in there. Woo hoo!

The wispering of the wise never entertains the fools...

Really liked poiboy, Rob and Sandy, Kyle.

Lots of staff this year, which was interesting.
