-you have a great handle on Splits. i think this is a large barrier for beginners to overcome. good job on that, they'll be very important in the next few years of developing your style.

-concerning the finger/digitz movements. you're doing the same thing i did for the first ~2 years of trying to incorporate digitz movements into liquuid. that is--you're doing the movements simply to do them. there is no logical process behind them. you're essentially just wiggling your fingers around. it might even be good isolated wiggling, but it doesnt make logical sense to create or enhance an illusion. be MINDFUL of what your fingers are doing. move them with a purpose, like you do with your arms.

I did realise the finger wiggling thing too, i'm tryna find some way to actually make into some kind of illusion. But i'm finding it hard. Like i've seen how you guys like join your fingers together and kind of create morphing into shapes and stuff ;D. If you know what i'm talking about, is there a tutorial or something out there to teach me? They're like my favourite kind of digitz stuff :P

I like your stuff, man,especially the the sort of traces you do around your arms. But when you do a handwave or wave or any kind, or twiddle your fingers. You might want to slow it down. Don't worry about the fast tempo of the beat, your more angled traces can handle that easily, I always found that when you make the wave too fast, you can ruin a lot of the effect it gives to the viewer. People at my highschool trip out on my handflow because what I do is I make a small sharp jerk where I start, an easy smooth flow which will match however fast the song is, and then a sort of rolling like motion of the joints on the point where I end. I wish I had my camera on me so I could show you.

improvements:
-your handflow/hand relationship
-more diverse stuff goin on

things that got worse:
-ur speed man, slow it the hell down! you have no control at all when doing liquid at ur current speed, you have to build up to something like that.

you really need to start working on isolation at this point too, your leaning into almost everything you do, which takes away from the illusion. try to clean up parts like 1:12, straiten your back and arms out more for better posture.

good job tho i think you improved overall but still lots to work on so take ur pick :)

Pretty much what tommy said. A lot of improvement in the handflow and variation, you just have to slow it down and build up to the speed. I also noticed that when you break out of the normal hand flow, you start new moves before you finish the previous one, and this drops the illusion. Slowing down will help you with this. And when I say slow it down, I mean down to a crawling snail's pace, slower than what I did for my second spring cleaning clip.

Nice progression overall, you should be happy with what you accomplished in a month's time :)

Dude your arms sit in the perfect position to open up some orbital style. Just contour them around. It will open your flow up also instead of it just being locked in that one area.

Huge improvement over the first. Speed is the huge factor right now and it will be for a while. I still have issues with it, you need to slow it down. Other things to work on:

- Hand distancing
- Isolation
