Well that actually looks similar to some of the stuff I've been messing with. Maybe I need to study more Scientology.


  i actually first saw this by a guy named Genesis from the reflective forums.  he was doing liquid without any trance of a handwave (and doing it well) in like ~04.

Does that clip still exist?

i scoured the reflective forums (where i saw it) about 2 years ago for it but couldnt find a trace.  it was put up before placed like youtube/vimoe existed.  there was a guy at one time that had some webspace and would host clips for people, elsewise it was just being passed along via slsk.  :-/

Well since this deadline is coming up pretty quick I would like to say I haven't stopped progressing this idea. Even though my other posts make it seem that way. I'm going to go ahead and make this call: This style of liquid is my breakout moment. It's my own style almost fully and it has cut strings with pretty much everything the LPC did (heck even the digits are almost completely different). I got some good footage when I shot my orbital liquid clip of me doing this style. But it wasn't the same music and I'm glad I've let it marinate longer as I've had a few new breakthroughs. Hopefully I can capture on tape what I've been accomplishing in my practice sessions. But sometime next week I'm going to try and wrap this section up. But not wrap up the style. I think this is my going to be my go to liquid style from here on out. When I started I wanted to do something original and four years later I think I've finally got it within my grasp. And the reason I post this is when I try and explain it to people I just get a really really really blank look... I've gone too deep down the rabbit hole haha. Floasis is the only thing that understands now.

I liked what you had, and I like what you did with it, but I wish you had kept what you had and used it along with what it developed into. I like the visual effect of how you made it flowy here, but the first clip had some good variations in arm position and builds. I think a lot of the stuff from the old clip would have made for great transitions. The trick would just be finding the right balance, a la primer theory. If you pursue this, maybe you can play around with alternating between stacking flow and stacking build transitions. I don't know what the right balance would be. It depends on how much flow the transition has by itself and how you use it, but I think transitions like axis shifts and some of the builds you were doing in the first clip can only hold up for a beat or two in general.

I also felt like the new clip was too hand focused. It looked cool, but I felt like I was watching the stacking version of someone limiting regular liquid to their hands.

The floor thing was cool, the stacking as a transition to change levels works really well.

Everything you do makes me feel like I'm watching an old claymation video. It's pretty cool. Do you do that for real, or is it the camera?

Stacking looks like it would make the sound a motor boat makes when you're starting the engine.

Anyways, great job! I might give this a shot to mix in with some liquid/tutting.

I always wondered if people watched close enough to notice that. I've been trying to pull it more to the forefront by keeping still to allow the effect center stage. It's improved a lot over the past few months. But yes that's me and not the camera skipping frames. I wish I had a high def camera so I could capture the little things better. The other person who's starting to do it is Kai in his clips. I think we're on the same level as far as arm tension control and stopping motions. But I feel like more liquid dancer's who employ tension, subtle quickness, and stops are going to start looking a lot more animated.

the texture you added makes  HUGE difference!!!  i also liked the parts when you stacked with your hands perpendecular to one another.
