I agree with cdwonderist. It did not seem different moves-wise but the background and cam quality was really nice. Alot of people don't like it when I dismiss their video based on the moves, when they have obviously put considerable time and effort into filming and editing it. I'm not discounting that time spent as much as I'm wishing that you put your talents into making some new moves that just blow us away. This is why I think alot of the people that advance in the artform end up with HL-style background of just cards and floating hands on black background. Nothing else in the universe but the new card moves.
Granted , if you're doing same old stuff many of us had seen , then in order to make it interesting a bunch of trains and stuff will help. You could get the same effect from doing your moves in front of a poster of Megan Fox though.
Cool shots of these were like lighting the s on fire, or when the train zoomed by, its visually interesting. but for gods sake please don't make your next video, the first 40 seconds of it are just like a theory11 commercial filming random stuff. 10 seconds worth great, 40 seconds, -1 star.
Also, its annoying to see a single card move (for example your five packet line display, or really ANY of your moves) are all chopped up into 4 or 5 edits just to make it though. Is this because it doesn't look that cool in one continous shot? See if you can make a video for 30 SECONDS continous and I will be impressed, and you will learn a lot about how good you maybe thought you were ;-)
anyways since you're taking requests... 1 year from now, show me a video that's got some originality in concepts! 3 stars dogg!
Hey thanks! I realize most of my videos end up more about the location then the flourishes, but I guess that's just how I roll. lol :) I'm still a bit of a noob in the cardistry world,(only about a year and a half) so I'm not as good as others, I just try to bring a new style to the table. I am currently working on some original flourishes, but I want to give some time to practice and perfect them.
I should have a video out in about 2 months from now, won't really be what you are looking for, but in time, (about a year or so), I WILL have you are looking for. New moves AND style. It's only a matter of time...
P.S. I wish I had the skills of the virts, then I could make one heck of a cardistry video!
So what was so different? You have skills! But different would be jumping off the train while doing a sybil in the rain cut. It was Another video for split spades contest. Don't be offended...please. It kicked ass...but didn't differ much to me. Good job.
Hey thanks man, I actually did want to hop on the train and ride it across the bridge, but the train was going too fast.O.o. This video wasn't for any contest, I just really like split spades. :)
The "differentness" of the video was meant to be in the style, not moves themselves. I was tired of seeing those "laid back" and "smooth" cardistry videos that were filmed in their living room with easy-going music playing in the background. Although the moves themselves were great, the style sent a message of nothing above mediocre. So, I decided to do something completely opposite than that, and it worked out better than I expected. Thanks for your comment, there is still more to come...
As was already sayd, thas what I call a cardistry video.
Thats originality in way of video. Flourishes went great and all the editing was fenomenal.
5/5
I never like flourishing, let alone flourishing videos, but this was so well made, and I really liked the music to go along with it.
Your editing is really amazing, and the camera work is great too ^^
Sorry for the double, but i just read the comment i gave you on Train.
Man, i should slap myself silly, that Practise, Practise, Practise advice was magic for you(im not shure pun or no pun). Mad Skillz(i actually hate talking like this, but im so stocked im shaking).
The flourishes were a wide variety, although you reapeated some stuff it didnt seem like it. This is a fine example of what a mad flourish video should be.
Nice, dont hold a grunge on me for being so strict the last time. Lets be friends :)
