I assuming you sped up the video to flow better with the music, was there any other reason you did this? I would have liked it to revert to normal speed or even slow-mo for some parts to accentuate long sweeping movements for example.

Otherwise it was an enjoyable video.

Thanks for the comments. Since it's not an instructional video, my aim was to show the overall art -- in a glance -- so to speak. The form at normal pace takes more than 10 minutes, which is past YouTube's limit. Speeding up and slowing down also helped with synchronicity, since we only used 1 camera & Winser performed 3 times.

Winser's TaiJi Quan was fascinating to see sped up so quickly, but the opening where you go back and forth from the left of the screen to the left of the screen was motion sickness inducing. I have to agree with the previous commenter that I would have preferred to see Zhao WenGeng's Chen TaiJi Quan at normal speed. As for the time limit, that is why I have always used Google Video for my videos, although I hear the YouTube Producer account will allow you to have videos longer than 10 minutes.
