Sweet!

The meteor vid didn't se tmy world on fire, though it looked really cleanly spun, but the other two were groovy- does Dee have glowsticking tendancies? Some of the wrap combos and stuff looked glostick inspired...

Thanks for sharing Sphism/gigglesmiley

Chut

thanks chut ...

the first vid is the one I'm most proud of. Mostly, at this time, we're fosucing on the making of the vid, and less on the substance - I think that's natural since we're newbies with the camera/video editing software ... I like the meteor video for the camera work ... but I'm more into the fire stuff myself.

I'm currently working on an all hoop vid ... anyone have any comments on the little hoop bits? Is it interesting at all - or does it seem more like a parlour trick?

i love the hoop Sphism/smilesmiley

more hoopage please.

and answer your emails young lady

great vids, keep it up, BTW, what was the music for the first one and dee's poi vid??

Hmmm ... re. the music, I'll have to go home and check. I know that at least for the Funky video, we used three songs and mixed them together ourselves .. .and the songs came from a compilation album I had (something I got from like a magazine free once!!) so I don't know who the artists are exactly ... I'll check for you though ....

Hooping:
and here's something I found this weekend - these guys are the "groovehoops." I adore them. Just to give you a flavor of what's possible with hoops.....

OK - found the CD ...

unknownwerks 1999
remix of 'funktastic boombastic'

and something else, too, probably

Lo,
Long time listener first time poster here. Can anyone stop me hitting myself with my poi whilst trying to work it out and tell me what the move that the dude does at about 1min20secs in is?

Cheers Sphism/gigglesmiley

Hello and welcome Sphism/smilesmiley

If you're asking about the video in the first post at the top at 1.20 the guy is just doing turns with a split time butterfly. It's not that difficult to do - start with a split time BF in front of you and then move your hands to the side while keeping the motions going.

Really dig these videos saucy ~ are you spinning the hoop in the first vid? Reminds me of burningman, that's the only other time i've ever seen fire hoop.

Do you know any of the SF spacelounge crew? There was a group of NY spaceloungers i seem to remember that spun fire.

Did you make the vids with your new camera? they're great.

I'm very close to getting a video camera, my dad's off to USA in a couple of weeks ~ camcorders are less than half the price over there compared to UK 8O

keep up the good work,

m

yeah spiralx that's the one cheers, as soon as it stops snowing I'll go and set light to myself having a play Sphism/smilesmiley
