Third collective video: Part I and Part II !!!!!!!!
« on: May 30, 2010, 04:45:05 PM »

Here is the first half of the 3rd (and probably final) collective video. I had difficulty fitting everything in under 10 minutes so I divided it into two videos. Once I decided to do that I started including footage of other well known players so they were "represented."  It took me a little while to gather the extra footage but it was worth doing, I think. I changed the order of the tricks to better balance the videos. I included almost all the tricks submitted except for a couple of exceptions when I was sent every trick done in the standard way. It is a little different to the two previous videos in that there are more people doing the conventional trick (or related conventional tricks) and fewer "interpretations", but still lots of fun. Enjoy!

The second part is almost ready, I just need to add the music, a few titles and the long list of credits (for the two parts). If you have a preferred way in which you want to be named (e.g. full name, first name only, nickname) please email me right away. I will probably post it tomorrow morning. There will be a very special guest of honor on that one  8) !

EDIT:

Finally, here is PART II:

EDIT 2: Uploaded again to correct credits.

Yeah! I was so happy you could send me that video. Without the kids from the Academy we needed somebody to represent the new generation of players. Under-the-leg boomerang to lasso is an advanced trick: well done!
How do you want your name to appear in the credits? Send me an email.

PS: Yes, I already noticed the "collaboratory" thing. But I checked and it is really a word, with a meaning related to "collaborative," so it is not technically incorrect.  ::)

So many cool things in just the first half!  So, were you trying to stopping the logo perfectly centered after that gyro or are you magic?  That hand-pedal move you added to the Wizard’s Gyro is a great and unique element.  Great work sir, everybody, I can’t wait for the second half.

With the nats trophy top? You bet! (it took 3 tries).

The idea was to do a Vertical Mach 5.  I did not practice, I just had the idea and filmed it. I think with some practice to vary the tension just right it could be made smoother (but not perfectly continuous).

On the title at the beginning of the video I wrote collaboratory instead of collaborative. But the word had been invented already and according to Wikipedia:
"A collaboratory is more than an elaborate collection of information and communications technologies; it is a new networked organizational form that also includes social processes; collaboration techniques; formal and informal communication; and agreement on norms, principles, values, and rules” (Cogburn, 2003, p. 86)."
I would say iTopSpin.com is a Spintop Collaboratory. Perfect!  8)

Ok, I need to finish that second part .  .  .

Finally Part II is live (I added the link to the first post on this thread). It is the low-res version as I had trouble uploading the higher definition version.

Thanks to everybody who participated. Those whose footage I added without asking: I don't think you will mind considering the company ;)

Enjoy!
