Tricks & Combos / [project][1.15.2] Evolution 2 Sign Ups

    This is never going to get off the ground without a seperate sign up thread. The idea of this video is basically to show new ideas to the community, weather it be new styles or new tricks, a combination of both, or something else, so long as it's something new, something that is going to push pen spinning and make it evolve (no microphone spinning though please).

    If you sign up:

    You must post in this once per week with a progress report.

    You must submit a video (tentatively) to me[1] before the 25th of August.

    Signed up:

    Levi

    [1]: Unless someone else will volunteer to edit, which would be great because I don't consider myself a good editor.

    Edit: Why is this an RD only project btw? Why can spinners outside of RD not be involved?

    I'll see if I can find my videos again. If not, Eburt has them.

    originally this project was supposed to showcase concepts/ideas put forth by the RD

    i dont really care if you want to hire ppl outside of it

    or as I calld them, "assistants"

    If I remember correctly, a requirement the first time we did that was that, in addition to submitting videos, you also had to submit breakdowns, since the point of this video was educating people about new tricks rather than showing off skills. I think that would be a good idea to require that again. Hopefully I can even remember what some of the tricks were called for my breakdown.

    imo you shouldnt have asked for public participation, better to go with invites.

    i definitely want to see the following ppl:

    pyralux
    le0n
    fratleym
    kirua

    and SEVEN if you can catch him (probably not)

    of course flip but i doubt it

    Imo we should cast our net as wide as possible.

    If you fish at the fishery you generally get good fish, however, there are still good fish to be found at other lakes that aren't fisheries. wink.gif

    Leviathan, if you have time and still know the tricks, it would awesome to see some of the spiderspin variations.

    Date: Sat, Jul 5 2008 01:54:44

    Hm, I think I'll use those some other time, or someone else can do some of them if they want.

    Mats, I just finished a new video and I'm going to send it to you.

    By the way, is there any progress from anyone else?

  14. Mats
    Date: Thu, Aug 7 2008 21:49:57

    I got progress reports from almost everyone! I think only one person didn't send...

    I'm going to have to either:

    1) Delay this collab until when I'm back..

    Unless someone else will run it?

    Just to keep it mind, you had my video Mats or not?

  16. Shadowserpant

    ill run this, unless you're back and free, mats?

    That would be great! At best I am only here regular for 4 more weeks (with a nearly week long break in that).

    I'm afraid that I do not have any of the videos that people sent to me (which is a shame because some of them were very good), because the police took my laptop away (don't ask) and seem not willing to give it back. All the videos were on there with no backups. I'm currently using a desktop PC instead. Sorry about that guys, but the police took the laptop while I was away. dry.gif

    you should still have those videos in your email account.

    I clear out my E-mails every few days. I think I only have E-mails since Monday or Tuesday in there at the moment...

    Date: Fri, Feb 27 2009 22:47:10

    nowadays email accounts give you ton of space im not sure why you would do that

    I get important E-mails and like to keep just those so I can see what's going on...

    If you keep every E-mail you get, then your inbox looks very messy! I don't want to be missing E-mails trying to book me for juggling, or from the choir I accompany etc...

  22. Shadowserpant
    Date: Sat, Feb 28 2009 02:52:02

    well do you have any idea who did send you stuff? so i can pm them and see if they still have it?

  23. Mats
    Date: Sat, Feb 28 2009 03:52:32

    grbsm did, Fratleym too. I think Zombo gave me a video of something too. Perhaps a spin transfer of somesort? My memory is not the best sorry.

  24. Awesome
    Date: Sat, Feb 28 2009 04:34:13

    spin transfer, like R neobak ~> L shadow , I could do that with a bit more practice, I can kinda do that now, but its consistency is terrible >_<

  25. Charlie
    Date: Wed, Mar 4 2009 03:51:49

    Is this still going on?

  26. Shadowserpant
    Date: Wed, Mar 4 2009 03:55:28

    well i just revived it so yeah kinda, lol
    i personally dont have anything yet though, i need to try to contact whoever already made videos for it
    and awesome, that sounds good

  27. grsbmd
    Date: Wed, Mar 4 2009 04:09:57

    My videos aren't quite as innovative now as 2 years ago when we first tried to make this. But if you're interested, I could send them to you and you could judge for yourself.

  28. Shadowserpant
    Date: Wed, Mar 4 2009 04:19:12

    yes, do you have the original file or a hosted link? if you have the file you could attach it to an email and send it to [email protected]
    if you have a download link you can pm it to me biggrin.gif

  29. Charlie
    Date: Wed, Mar 4 2009 05:11:08

    I have a lot of unreleased/released concepts. Should I pick my favorite and use that one?

  30. Shadowserpant
    Date: Wed, Mar 4 2009 05:59:10

    you arent necessarily limited to one vid, if you have a lot of concepts, let's see them

  31. Charlie
    Date: Thu, Mar 5 2009 22:45:56

    Here's a few things I filmed today in a manner of minutes. It's just actually just a sample of what I've come up with. I'll remember to film more later once I get my tripod and I have the chance.

    I apologize for the bad angle. I was also playing around with my cam features... :]

  32. Shadowserpant
    Date: Fri, Mar 6 2009 00:36:29

    i think you should submit a clip of those multiple finger arounds (that is, any of them, the shadow, baks, whatever)
    but uhm, one of those was a variation of the twisted cobra bite, and i was intending on submitting those variations myself...

    I've done that for over a year now. Not sure when the twisted cobra bite was invented, but I didn't base my trick off the twisted sonic bite. I called it a moonwalk handaround, since that's basically what it is.

    Date: Fri, Mar 6 2009 04:43:19

    no i know what you mean, i've been doing them for awhile too, i just meant that my main contribution to this was going to be those types of tricks...
    the french call them "swivel tricks", things like the dragonaround (i know, im sorry, we'll work on a naming system >>), twisted backaround, twisted cobra bite, etc
    i can do several variations based on those types of tricks

    Oh, the only ones I've heard of was the twisted backaround and twisted cobra bite. Didn't know someone else also did moonwalk handarounds.

    lets make a new showcase

    aim for 2mins-ish,
    show some of our best tricks/concepts in cooperation with FPSB lab

    editing shows trick/concept name, preferably shown in a combo, then with slow mo of the trick/concept itself.

  37. strat1227
    Date: Fri, Jan 15 2010 03:13:29

    Out of curiosity, what would be on your list of concepts to possibly be put into it?

    EDIT: It seems like most of what we do isn't coming up with new concepts, but just looking at ones that already exist. Like it'd almost seem pretentious to release a collab of lke table based tricks, and isolations and stuff, it'd come off like "Look at all of our great new ideas!" lol

  38. Frip
    Date: Fri, Jan 15 2010 03:52:19

    Are there that many new concepts out there?

    anyways.. i'm up for some 2p1h ohmy.gif

  39. Zombo
    Date: Fri, Jan 15 2010 05:34:18

    @strat: the idea is to condense and summarize information on new and rare tricks/ceoncepts.

    table tricks
    skateboard tricks (casper by romain)
    isolation
    shitload of FPSB stuff like snaking, morphing, 2p2h, etc.

    I learnt a new circus tricks I can do with a pen. Never seen anyone do it before on here. Seen two others do it at juggling conventions though (with pens).
