First Video - The Pivot

The webcam I had to use is no good (a friend is borrowing my good camera) but I just wanted to see if anybody had any tips. Thanks.

Very nice.

The turning of your hand looked smooth and as natural as it can whilst executing that move but you did flash briefly on the second time round.

Very good though

That looked really nice.

My web cam has to work a lot harder in low light conditions, so it may be that you can increase the frame rate by shooting in sunlight.

That's a good idea - i'll try recording in a different room sometime. That one doesn't have any windows. Thanks for the tip.

That looked really good, but i see what you mean about the webcam! You might get better footage if you are able to change the FPS (Frames Per Second) settings.

Yea - I usually use a regular video camera when I record stuff to my computer, but I don't have it right now. I think a big part of the problem is that the room my computer is in is so dark. Maybe if I bring in some more light it'll allow me to boost the frame rate.
