I was going to tell you something I just realized to help integrate your body better, but then I decided to keep it to myself. You just got robbed haha. So consider yourself on alert. I'm taking things from you and plan on making them look better.

Alright I won't totally screw you over. When you do one of those linear thing-a-majigs and stop you can continue the flow by shifting your body. You do it kind of right now. I'm using twist-o-flex type pivots at this moments.

o ya i kno exactly wha ur talkin about, i havent worked on it actively much maybe i will give it sumore thought now :). trying to get those along with the little upper-body pushes and pulls i do second nature to me.

The first one you seemed of you off,  most of the movements were hurried. I didn't see the clean movements/lines that I normally see. One hand would move somewhere else and break the illusion. Although you seemed off it was still a great clip.

Second clip absolutely blew me away. The little upper-body push and pulls were well executed. I could go on an on, can I list the whole video as my favorite part? I will say this, once or twice I saw the same issue as the first. I will have to give times and examples later.

shit, i didn't even realize they were different and i had only watched the first one.

I actually preferred some of the ideas that you presented in the first clip more than the second one, especially the tutting mixed in with the liquid and the big remotes/axis shifts or whatever those were. It just wasn't polished. I say give those ideas a fair shot and clean them up them.

For both clips, I think I sort of have the same gripe that Scott had about my clips (http://floasis.net/smf/index.php?topic=1362.msg11189#msg11189):

Quote
I think he comes to his "base position" with the feet lined up directly under shoulders, a bit to often. I told him to try to get away from that and instead of taking step, then stepping back into that base position.....  he should go somewhere else with it. Its kinda boring when you watch someone and they always end up back in the same pose in between steps, with the feet lined up under the shoulders. I know with clips people tend to dance in a direction (towards the camera) but I think even when a camera is on, projecting your dance in a 360 degree manor is always going to look better. (unless your doing digitz) 
 
 If you always end up back in that base pose, your going to end up repeating a lot. But the same exact liquid movement can be presented in a whole new way just by the position of your feet/legs and vertical level being changed. 

Other than that, I've got nothing to add. Everything else is top notch :D

yea scott has told me this also in person heh, i recognized it when i posted that 2 u.

yea the first clip came days before the 2nd which was right before i uploaded it so i felt rushed/uncreative, but my handflow was generally better from practicing the past 3 or so days alot.
