I always love watching your spins - its especially amazing to me how much attention is payed to the space behind your back!! Its so hard not to neglect that area, and you use it beautifully!
last shot: couldn't critisize the shot itself. but your spinning lacks originality. it's repetitive but I'm sure you recognized already :)
so thomas, all in all this may sound very frustrating but if you start something new you start off best by getting critisized - a lot. it's good to see you are starting to go that way but you can do way better. this video is no comparison to your jff or faya video, both of them a lot better and more interesting.
8: the thing I don't like about this video is the fact that it is too random. you start off with staff spinners - stick with them and wait until it's "your time"
9: kill it! It is a pointless shot. It isn't beautiful nor does it tell anything
10: decent spinning footage
11: this clip belongs right next to the other staff footage.. it's so confusing, you're jumping around all the time in between the chronology of the performance itself
3rd shot: but there is WAY too much sand in the picture. the sand shouldn't cover more than 1/3 of the frame and I don't wanna see 2 spinners at the same time
4 & 5: kill 'em - they don't tell anything but confuse me
6: chair, nice idea, but you'd rather wanna focus on one spinner, so go for left or right and zoom in a little. the way you did it you got none of them in a good frame
7: I wanna see how the staff is bein' thrown as well, if possible also bad editing here, bad rhythm, too short
I want to do something like the one you have in your videos but I´m not shure about this one, I bet that in my next video it´s gonna be different :D
And you are totally right about the filming, I spend more time with all the geeky stuff in my backpack than with my poi,I need to start combining these two more,it´s the perfect combination :P
Depth of Field adapter, I´ve been looking at these videos since I left Japan, soooo nice, need to come back to Japan again :P
Stop being so modest ;) They are gifts, no doubt about that!
I want to get a couple of isispoi and get comfortable spinning with fire before I upload anything more! Maybe I´ll make an exception ;D
Yeah, it truly is, and what´s more amasing is that when I´m watching you spin I feel that we share the same vision of what poi-spinning is all about :D I think I´ve mentioned it before..
I´m not modest, I´m just aware of the possibilities, what to improve and therefore I would never consider my videos as gifts, however, it make´s me so happy to hear that I inspire and make people happy while I do something I´m passionate about :D
I hope for some exceptions ;)
Yes we talked about it before and I would like to sit down and talk again cos I can see/read and feel that you have a much deeper understanding now, that sounds geeky :D
Ahh.. my stomach gets a funny feeling when i see Koh Pha Ngan again! So many parties!! really amazing local staff spinners there too.
So Thomas, why the mini poi? first time I've seen you spin with anything but the Isis heads. You giving the lighter poi a run for a bit?? Or are they just easier to travel with ;-)
Lithuania is not on my list of country's that I would like to go to for visiting the spinning community's, yet. Poland, Ukraine, Cz Rep, Slovak, Russia, Hungary is some of them and I would LOVE to add Lithuania to this list. How is the community over there?
I always love watching your spins - its especially amazing to me how much attention is payed to the space behind your back!! Its so hard not to neglect that area, and you use it beautifully!

I must admit that when I wrote my crit I didn't have the possibility to listen to the music (only for the first time watching)
so I'd like to weaken my crit on editing, it makes a lot more sense with the music ;)

hey thomas,
good to see that you start working with your camera. to improve your work I will not kiss your ass but tell you what sucks the most about this video:
1st shot: nice detail but even a shot like that needs preparation. I don't wanna see people in front of that sign
2nd shot: probably the worst shot: I don't know what's happening, I see some window and silhouettes and in the very end the kid catching the staff
third shot: nice idea with the candle

Hey! I like the begining! you made nice animation logo!! and the way to edit is so cool.
of course your poi as well, but as you know we are more filming than spining :)
have you checked Depth-of-field adapter yet?
that makes your video like Max's.

Thomas, come on, to big words, really, I´m glad to inspire you and I´m glad you enjoy watching them but they are no gifts :D
Would be VERY happy to see more of your spinning and no excuses, just record some just as you did in the first one.
Looking forward to see you again whenever it is.
And I must admit that I find it amusing that we more or less look the same and got the same name, BRO! :D

Well I can´t deny that I actually like to spin with poi like these sometimes but these are in fact my friends Jo´s poi, I just had them for a spin :P
The Isis is still my favourite :P
But Yes isn´t nice to spin there, sometimes it can be tooo much but when it´s calm and not to crowded I love to go for a spin over there.....
See ya around and keep spinning, thanks for posting :)
