This is where I will be posting links to all of my videos from now on. Right click and save as on the links below to download the file. Most if not all my files are encoded with DivX so if you dont have the DivX codec, please visit www.divx.com/divx for a free download.



MikeSpin.avi

This is just a short video I took to show my cousin. I originally wasnt going to post it but figured why not. Nothing fancy here, no special graphics, neato scene transitions, or even a music track. Just a few demo moves... And it was about 20 degrees out so they dont even look that great rolleyes

--13.8MB--DivX Encoded--



spinfinal.avi

My first ever poi video. Its really dark as it was my first time using the camera and such. Kinda short also but should still be a fun watch once or twice.

--3MB--DivX Encoded--



buzzweave.avi

Just a short tutorial on how to do a buzzsaw weave.

--2.5MB--DivX Encoded--



DynamikDysfunktion.avi

So the weather round here has been beginning to warm up. That means my poi and I are too. Tonight I brought out my poi for my first burn of the new year and this is the footage. My best vid to date but thats not really saying much. Im a bit rusty but its a small taste of things to come. Also, making his debut is my friend Stan who shows off his hair singing skills starting at 3:34 smile Enjoy.

--21MB--DivX Encoded--



OneOfThoseBurns.avi

Its starting to get hotter out and the poi arent helpin. Its about time I made a new video. Been wanting to for the past week or two now but managed to forget repeatedly. I finally was able to catch myself on film last night and got it edited in time for work smile Nothing too spectacular, but a few nice moves in there. Hope yall enjoy.

--11.6MB--DivX Encoded--



FireTastesGood.avi

Today I learnt to eat fire and here are the results of about a half hours practice.

-- 4.2MB -- DivX Encoded --



paintedbride.avi

Some older footage that I finally got around to editing. Some members from the Philadelphia Fire Arts Association met at the Painted Bride Art festival to display their work. This is a short summary of the fun we had that day.

-- 24.4MB -- DivX Encoded --



Decomhilights.wmv

This is some footage I took at the Burning Man '04 decompression party in New York featuring the death defying fire plate spinning of Mr. NYC. Please, dont ask about the music... I didnt edit this one ubblol

-- 9.76MB -- WMV Encoded --



gwbhilitez.avi

More footage from NY in '04. This one took place under the George Washington Bridge during some illegal psy party heh. The footage itself was taken by Skunk and its *very* shaky (note to self: do not use Skunks as tripods), but, I really like some of the stuff that can almost be seen in this vid. I was having a blast that night and decided to share my hilights!

-- 10.2MB -- DivX Encoded --



fireskate.mpg

My first attempt at spinning fire on roller skates taken at NY Decompression '05. Also some footage of Reagan fire hooping.

::BREATHING IN BOSTON::



At the end of March I taught a poi workshop at Brandeis college in Massachusetts. Later, after the workshop, Chad Bennett had a little fire gathering at his new house in Salem. Blue Haired Sarah and I decided to try some fire breathing passes and I put on a little show for the folks as well. I had someone use my camera to film it and I'm finally getting it out on the net. Its not much of a performance, but there are a few decent tricks in here. Enjoy!








Thanks to fNi for hooking me up with the workshop gig, to Chad for hosting the jam, to Sarah for breathing with me, and to the dude (whoever you are) that worked my camera.

Interesting... I can imagine some movement magic with skates and fire (I'm figuring a forward glide with a low forward buzzsaw would look pretty interesting). Definitely show more smile

Definition of poi- A Hawaiian food made from the tuber of the taro that is cooked, pounded to a paste, and fermented.

Ahnold discussing poi - "It is naht a toober!"

Yeah, there are a lot of neat effects I can get out of the skates vs fire. I did a moonwalking version of the move you describe... Although, it was poorly done because the surface I was skating on was horrible (was a roof with very gritty shingley surface).

Hey all...

Well, I recently bought a new computer since my old one was falling apart (quite literally). Once again I have the capability to edit digital video... That is to say, I could if I had Premiere.

Anyway, while I don't have Premiere, I do have Windows Movie Maker which blows... And while I'm not going to go using it to try and make a quality video, I figured Id at least use it to compile some of the old practice clips I have and post em up. And so, I give you, The Lost Practice Sessions. For now, only part 1. More when I have time. Enjoy!

PS - If there be any pirates about, send me a message wink
