awesome video, if i could give a little tip, i noticed on your anti spins you keep your left arm straight and bend your right arm at the elbow .

@pabtsblue

oh yes, I've noticed that...amongst other things. I have of course fixed it by now (that video is 8 months old). I really should have filmed everything over again...I was just learning triquetra's at that point! oye!

I filmed using a still camera with a high FPS rate, created the particle trails in Motion, and then did motion tracking in Motion to attach the particle trails to the video footage.

Great editing, but the geometry if a bit off...it's not to clean! But I love the concept of this video! great job!!!

Hopefully form watching footage of your own spinning it's made you aware of where to focus for bettering yourself! I love seeing long exposures and film of my spinning! Tells me what I need to work on! =]
