Cuts & Flourishes

Postby Slyszer » Jun 22nd, '06, 15:32



Hi all.

Another one of my vids. I did a few cuts in front of my camera so I could test my editing software. After a lot of work I came up with this compilation. I hope you guys like it.
Let me know what you think!

I think...

If I had half the amount of time spare that people have for learning XCM and such pap, I'd be using it far more wisely.

Nice, but pointless, imho.

Sorry!

Nice. Well done.

Just clean up the one handed fans and speed things up a little.

Question:

Did you do Crispy Bacon? Because it looks like it...I like that flourish a lot.

EDIT: Nice Hot Shot Cut. I find it kind of hard to with such small hands...

Thanks,
Dominick

Nice work! For me personally I do not think it was a problem that you chose to do things a little slower. I actually enjoyed the fact that you did not rush your movements but concentrated on making them appear as smooth as possible.

Keep up the good work!

I'm with Seige on this one. Big debate on another forum about XCM and magic.

Cheers,

Generally quite good! Just work on the smoothness and speed now.

What I really found annoying is that you don't learn the Mantis completely.

Crispy Bacon? Never heard of it :oops:
Which one do you mean?
I kinda came up with 1 cut by myself, but it might as well be someone else's idea a long time ago.

Is it the cut where the 1 handed fan is used?

lol. Just watch the tutorial a few times and you should be able to get it. Otherwise, your display wouldn't really be called the mantis as the Mantis is actually a great name for the complete cut becuase it looks like a mantis striking at it's prey or something :D.
