My Thoughts About the Collab:
Introduction (00:00-00:14):
I feel that the introduction was quite nice. A lot of moon stills to represent the team's name, Moonlight Trust.
I like the idea that the pen was dropped from the moon into LotusWing's hands. It kind of signifies the birth of the team. She performs a simple combo:
Sonic 34-23 > Sonic 23-12 > Charge 12 > Thumbaround T1-T1> Reverse Thumbaround.
Then the screen changes to show the first spinner.
I felt that the UPSB font could have been more stylised by it was fine with me. I liked the Moonlight Trust fonts. Very round and moon-ish.
Section Rating: 9/10 (-1 for the UPSB font)
Rashingan (00:15-00:21):
I thought his combo wasnt very smooth. He had two or three pauses that caused the unsmoothness.
The ending was very satisfactory too. The hand position was awkward and looked like the combo was cut short.
The transition from the previous section was smooth.
Section Rating: 4/10 (Bad Combo)
Randomhero (00:21-00:28):
I enjoyed his combo a lot! Very sweet shadows and I loved the effect. The ending was sweet.
Section Rating: 9/10
DevilOfMe (00:28-00:43):
Very smooth combo. Although the difficulty wasnt at a very high level.
Background fitted the theme very perfectly.
Music was very well in sync with the combo.
Section Rating: 8/10 (Low Difficulty)
Dust_Kid (00:43-00:53)
Nice.
Was on a higher difficulty level than the majority of the spinners in the collab.
Albeit, the vid was too dark.
Section Rating: 9/10 (Too Dark Vid)
Domik (00:43-01:14):
Ew. ww.
Good Combo. Abit too long and spammy but good altogether. Decent Difficulty.
Camera quality....very very bad...
Was the only part of the collab i didnt like to watch.
Section Rating: 6/10 (Good Combo but bad camera)
Huroni (01:14-01:30):
Just "Holy Shit" compared to all of the other combos.
Love the angle and the speed.
Go Huroni!
Section Rating: 10/10
Moonlight Trust with Moon (01:30-01:33)
Nice ^^
Section Rating: 10/10
Andrew~ (01:33=01:45)
Wow. Just Wow.
Sweet angle. Very Smooth combo. Very nice passes.
The colour of the pen contrasts very nicely with the dark background creating a very aesthestically appealing combo.
The angle of the video was very interesting and added to the appeal of the combo.
Also one of the highlights of the collab as mentioned by one of the critics.
Section Rating: 10/10
Patte (01:45-02:00)
Another one of the highlights of the collab, Patte made an amazing entrance by tossing the pen into the spinning hand. The combo was nice and smooth although i felt that it was too long.
The contrast between the hand the the dark background also fitted the collab very well.
Well done!

Jaybles (02:00-02:15)
Meh. I was okay.
Awesome music syncing
Section Rating: -/10
LoneFang (02:15-02:32)
Had two unnecessary pauses in the combo which contributed to the unsmoothness of the combo.
One was before the infinity segment and it made the transtition really awkward.
Overall spinning was alright though. I really liked the shocker pose.
Section Rating: 7/10
Neoknux (02:32-02:54)
Awesome combo. Loved the direction changes. Very smooth.
I really liked the ending.
The music was synced really well to the combo.
Section Rating: 9/10
Tone (02:54-03:21)

Although it was abit spammy but the combo was generally smooth.
Nice aerial.
Section Rating: 8/10

Credits with the gestures (03:39-04:04):

Section Rating: 10/10
Lien's Spinning and ending (04:04-04:10):
OMG LIEN SPINNING IS LIKE AWESOME TEEEHEEE
I like the To Be Continued ^^
Section rating 10/10
Overall Assessment:
I think that the collab was pretty successful. I liked it very much and I enjoyed watching it.
I have probably watched it about 30 times already and maybe more.
I am pretty satisfied about my part in the collab and I really do hope that MT Collab 2 will come out really good too.
Song Choice: I really liked the song. It didnt seem horrible at all to me. The remix wasnt bad and I found it quite enjoyable to listen to. All in all Im pretty glad that this song was chosen.
It really fit the theme.
Conclusion:
Its EPIC!

mm thanks for your praise =D is there any constructive critism? im working on perfecting inverses and reverse of all double charges, as well as more hand transfers and investigating in assisted pen tricks.
your style of reviewing is like the judges in the olympics xD -

Nice job bro.
I do think it is a little harsh to some members, because we are all in different levels. Some has been spinning long and some are very new. Such as Rashingan, he is very new so judging him because of the smoothness or the choice of combo might be a little harsh. Comparing to me, I can't do such a combo, I would have rated him higher than that
And about Domik, he is also new and surely also some of his first video. His combo is indeed long, but thanks to his video then it fits perfect into the sync/song. I am also sure he felt bad about the cam quality, and surely he will get a better one next time... right Domik?
My conclusion has been the same since I saw everyone's video. You are all very good and I am happy to have such good members and nice members in this team! Good luck to everyone in penspinning!! ... and... I will also try to improve myself ^^;
