if that is a chroma key screen, then whoever did it was REALLY good at setting the lighting just right etc. And none the less this guy is bad ass at fire/stick poi
I wonder if the fire spinning on the beach, if the background is actually green screened. If it's not then that was really an insane backdrop for the fire spinning but i think it looks green screened perhaps
@Uyan Well, it could easily be green screened. if you watch the video, at no point do the waves ever come close to him nor does the background appear to be changed in any way when he moves. So it wouldn't be a bad thing to question it, either way it's a great video but it could easily be a good bit of green screening on a filmed section of beach too. The section of beach wouldnt even nessissarily be in taiwan, nothing from the video would suggest that it was filmed there.
@deduzz It originated in New Zealand created by the Maori inhabitants, poi being Maori for ball. They weren't set on fire though - the males used it as a weapon training aid and the women used it to keep their joints supple, later in waiata (story told in song dance and poi) passing teachings down to younger generations to help ensure the culture was kept alive, it's now just women who do the traditional Maori poi in waiaitas although modern poi is practiced by male and female.
@deduzz no worries, it's something I'm really interested in. They'd keep the joints supple by using the repetitive movements in spinning the poi and dancing, mainly the hands, wrists elbows and shoulders, the ones valued most for things like cooking and weaving etc, the dancing and spinning poi was and still is a great form of exercise and there are loads of awesome videos on here of traditional Maori waiatas with the women spinning poi. E Rere Taku Poi is a good example :)
i wish it wasnt freezing so i could go outside and do full moves with my arms over my head. i can't do shit in this bedroom, not even a 3bt without hitting something
DUDE NUTSS !!! 5 stars totally unbelievable and breathtaking. the music sucks tho would look better with some soft rave music to fit in with the beach theme and that
Wow. Thats about the best word. Change your name to Poi_King. Hopefuly when i get my socks from Home Of Poi. Then maybe i will flow more like you. Wow!
Hi, I also live in taiwan (Hsinchu) and spin fire. It would be nice to meet you. If you like psy trance email me and I'll give you info about the next psy party here.
Great! Makes me dreaming of another trip through Asia, including this nights on the Beaches with Poi-Artists! Greetings to the other End of the world....
jeje. a mi nunca me reconoce nadie lo que hago. que envidia me da. Yo también aprendí por mi cuenta todo lo que él muestra.
A mi no me contratan a veces porque no estoy lo suficientemente desnuda, todos los videos que grabé se me borraron, todo funciona por enchufes...pero cuando trabajo en animaciones lo disfruto ^^
Yeah dude that was sic, You are really good at the flower that is one thing that i havn't quite mastered yet - my left arm just dont wanna go that way. hats of 2 ya. were are the hyperlinks though man? I no you can do them - if you can ossolate than you are definately capable of them - make it your next mish - Teagan - Down Under
Very good spinning... have you ever noticed how when people spin they seem so much smoother with fire poi in comparison to when they use regular poi...
the poi work was amazing, but also, the video quality was great! most videos lag up a bit after poi are on fire, but in this one you could see every move! 5*'s
i searched to find this guy everywhere, but no dice. the only sonic boom i found was nowhere near good enough for cirque. (which happens to be my life ambition btw, im going to circus school in Montreal next September)
Enjoyed your film, especially the ocean in the background and the fading light. Looks like the tide is coming in. Liked the animation addition at the end as well.
Oh, I just looked back in the comments, and several folks have mentioned this, and the fact that Orbital (still) rocks, and so does Pippi Longstockings!
