From what i can see it looks good, keep up the good work.

A few suggestions would be to stand closer to the camera and also have a bit more ambient lighting around (at times I can't tell what moves you're doing or if you're facing the camera or not.

)
Other than that its grand!

Cheers!

are you by a creek? sounds cool!

Ok well, one of the main things is ... I cant see what you are doing!! lol ambiant light is always good so we can see you!

from what i can tell you got a nice smooth approach to poi, which is a very good thing. now just start watching tuts on everything, see what you think you can do and practice. feel free to put up progression videos, they always help!

any questions? ask away!

Nice vid, wish i could see you though =P... those flowers were pretty sweet, i suck at doing the flowers =\... but yeah, make another vid!!! with some more light!!!.... soooo, get to it, i wanna see another vid!!!

wait till u c his submission 4 the anniversary vid.. it's sick..

**LilRaverBoi** · 04-15-08, 12:29 AM

Well, it looked pretty sweet...only problem is I couldn't see you at all

Therefore, I didn't really know what you were doing...I was able to pick out some butterflies, flowers, butterfly flowers (I think) and weaves...other than that, it's unknown to me. Like everyone said, more light next time...that's really my only critique until I can see you better. Thanks for posting, though!

I didn't enjoy the soundtrack >.>

Yeah, you need some lighting. I can't really comment on what I can't see

NaturalStix · 04-16-08, 05:23 PM

yeah haha, i dont really know what i was thinking when i went outside, i think i kinda figured the lights mounted in my trees would do it but i guess not :\

but yeah, i will soon make another one and it should be better.

a great place outside would be close to a house with the light on through the window.

experiment with different directions and stuff to see what looks good.
