Default Taking freehand/LEDS/Fingerlights to the next level! Tips+Vids - 04-21-08, 05:32 PM

Well my fellow GXGERS its time to take it to the next level.

Hopefully i can record a niffty little video in a week or so but I feel its time to give some freehanders some love.

so when i say "freehand", i am referring to people who dont use string. that includes glowsticks, LED sticks, LEDS (inova s), Fingerlights... all used for the "LIGHTSHOW" that is not involved strings.

I feel that there are only a small population of ravers that string or do poi compared to the amount of people who dance and do "freehand".

OK so.... i am going to post a series of videos from Teardrop for you Fingerlight/glove people




then a sick video...



These videos are self-explanatory. I know this guy personally and he is a great "youtube" representation of a great show. If you notice its not about the figure 8.... its about how you can connect with the music. even if you use 2 inovas try to pull some ideas from these videos.

my next example.


I understand that this video is of Spazzman, an active member of a different Online community, however It was pulled from youtube and it is fantastic! show some PLUR people!


i would also like to add

WTF!! hahaha


anyways... I want this thread to turn into a "super thread" if you find some crazy videos, or want to post anything that can help others do it!

If you want to add anything, feel free!

PLUR and RAVE SAFE!

Dude, that just upped the standards of this site to, like, level 37. Do you know where to find any lightglove tutorials? or can you get by with just liquid and digits moves?

I noticed i didn't give any tips!!

TIPS.

- PRACTICE AND PREPERATION PREVENT POOR PERFORMANCE... those are the 5 Ps from my speech 1 class. image that... something from college is useful!

- listen to the music with your eyes closed... listen to the different parts of the song, feel the beat and then start moving to the song.

-chewing gum does help me keep the rhythm when dancing... try it out!

- Practice going ALL OUT crazy then practice with minimal movements. the variation of the 2 is a fun style

- practice super fast and super slow..-mix up speeds.

- practice tosses and catching with sticks, pens, keys, ... other objects... build that muscle memory! the more you do it, the easier it seams... (riding a bike... )

-Practice to different types of music... try the radio for a change...
- something i want to add... that i feel i talk about alot but is not widely used... The idea of using a "remote control" like someone is pushing the buttons.... STOP, Rewind, Fast Forward, PAUSE, SKIP, NEXT, PREVIOUS, VOLUME UP/DOWN... does that make sense?

- practice with other peoples "gear" trying out someones LEDS might show you a new way to use your own.



-GO to EVENTS. WATCH PEOPLE. ASK QUESTIONS.

..."hey man, loved you lightshow, wanna show me a new move?" .... its that easy.... you might even make some long term friends!

fully utilize GENXGLOW.com. post videos, could be 5 min. or just 1 move you want to share, ask questions, we are all here because we love it! who knows, you might learn something!!

well there are a couple things i really want to say about this topic...

it is really easy to start and get into, it just takes time to get "good".

a great site that will basically make you a great pair of "gloves" is Liquidemotions.com. I know i talk about them alot but they are good people and they are well known.

most of "gloves", as i like to call them, are considered "digits and liquid" which is correct.

when you sit there in class or at work bored off your ass... try some




and



does that help?

thank you Kythos! horray for classes being cancelled.

teardrop's videos are inspiring and that teardrop wongton vid sends me into an arrest every time i watch it.

does anyone else agree that the level of "intimacy" in a "freehand" lightshow is what makes it special as compared to stringing? I love watching some nasty poi all day, but nothing gets my heart pumping like that new friend that sent stars streaming through my body...

haha, yeah i've watched some of there digits tutorials and practice that while at work when i have nothing to do, i still suck balls at it but i suppose it'll just take time just like stringing did =).

and not right now, i don't have any questions, but I probably will later on after i watch those vids a few more times and try to put something of my own together.

I also wanted to add, you INOVA PEOPLE!!


"but if you wanna get started... get a big key ring, decent sized... and put all 3 Invoas on it. with this key ring you can then put your index finger through the the ring and when you shake it around and do stuff the invoas will wobble around giving it a crazy look. (same effect of people with the "floppy gloves")

at the same time you and still feed them in between the fingers like you did in this video.

you can twirl them on your finger,

and if you really wanted to you can put them on a really short "yo yo" string (2-3 inches... put the string on your finger via a loop, like a yo yo..) you can then swing them around and then simply put the key on your finger to go back to "freehand"

work with that stuff.... but always start with the normal "wolverine" move. when you switch it up people will be like... wtf omg what is going on!! ... how did he do that!! like a magic trick... : ) "



this was taken from my own comment on another thread, try it out!
