Poi Head Orbit - 3-petal antispin

The 'Center of Rotation' (CoR) of one of the poi stays in time with the head of the other poi. This means that one poi is effectively orbiting the other like a satellite. This example has 3-petal antispin orbiting a standard spin.

Using poi no longer than hand-to-shoulder length, you can execute it in front wall plane. For the standard spin hand, find a sweet-spot somewhere between the solar plexus and chest, placed on your body's center line. You may even need to move it off center towards the opposite shoulder a bit. The anti-spine poi plane should be a little farther forward. This allows your standard spin poi to pass in between your opposite poi and the arm spinning it. This is the same type of spacing Nick Woolsey describes for an antispin-weave in his video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k85esuPfIM0

If Your poi are less than half the length of your arm, then you can turn from the above mentioned wall plane method, into a wheel plane version where the standard spin is done in a buzzsaw (inverted) plane.

Ohhhh man I love your animations, told you many times before but I will tell you that many more times :P

I got a wish though, can you do this animation?.

Hand to wick hybrid where the blue do a three pedal antispin as above but the green should be isolated, please, please, please :P)

Keep the videos coming, great inspirationsource !!!!!

Hehe, gotta re-install 3ds max to render new animations...

[fortyfourcaliber]

It that possible with poi?

[AlienJon]

Yes, very possible!

[insphyredotcom]

what code did you use for this particular video?

i was contemplating how to incorporate polyrythyms into your program but couldn't process it with the info i found on tribe.

[AlienJon]

Hrmm, I though I responded to this a wile back, but see that I didn't. The system that I was using for unit circle stuff, doesn't include polytimings, just the basic 1:1 timings (not even quarter-time). The hand path of the antispin poi has a diameter of 2 poi, so it's not unit circle. The timing of green poi to blue poi is 1:2 rotations. Antispinning 2 rotations of the poi yields a trifoil (3 petals).

uuuuuhhh,... got to try that one out... it s an easy- to-do but still fascinating-to-watch- move

[nevisoul]

DO IT, DO IT NOW ;)

Well I look forward to see more animations in the future....

You are a poigeek as me so maybe you like the new thread on HoP, please upload some if you try/tried these 3D things out! I would LOVE to se more patterns like these!

Circular patterns!

All the videos I've watched of yours so far are insane. I've never seen tricks like these. And this is probably the only one I can do.
