ReduX Sequence

Pretty cool.

it was ok. i just feel like all the videos you put have the same stuff on it. you've done the x cut to death. i still liked the editing

That's some pretty cool stuff man. As always, you make the simplest of material look so stylish. This is something everyone needs to learn. That it's not just about What you do, it's How you do it. -Daren

You've overdone this cut a lot. IMO it's getting kinda boring watching you do it again and again in almost every single video. but well executed i must give you that. -Eugene

I agree with Eugene. While this is one of the coolest one-handed cuts out their, is there really a reason for milking it? Its kind of ruining it. Its like if you watch a movie, and you love it. If you watch it ten more times your not going to like it anymore. And at about 13 seconds, you looked kind of robotic. Great editing skills though.

I'm also with Eugene on this one - good editing, but the motions in the flourish seemed a bit monotonous. It's an exciting cut with a lot going on, for sure, but the basic motions of the flourish seemed to be an almost-too-predictable 'deck in front of camera, pull back, do stuff, deck in front of camera again' pattern. Maybe that's what you were going for (after all, the title of the song 'Recurring' seems to hint it), but I guess my main problem with the look of the routine is that, as opposed to your previous video 'VorteX Sequence', the two hands seemed to be together too much, instead of operating separately in a non-symmetrical manner. All in all, the video does show your skills with timing, routining, and the (literal) in-your-face style, but if not for the awesome editing I'm not so sure if this would hold up on its own. -Kev, The Virts

though i think this is one of the best one handed cut sequences out there, there is a such thing as overkill. if you don't do this cut for like a year, then make another video with it, that may be a sufficient break to make it great, even better. However, for now, I think you've truly milked it for all it's worth, the only way to go is down from here.

PS you can find the less-schizo, clean version of the sequence at http://tinyurl.com/3uhj7k (trust it's not a kev/richroll) -- I think you'll find it might hold up as much as the edited one :)

actually I liked the video (and the description made me rollerskate while laughing out loud), the addition of the interlocked fingers was good, however near the end you may have done just one or two extra "spinning hands around" in a row... perhaps a move like a quick aerial to back of the hand for closer, or dragging a packet on the arm, or your triangle display out from the centurions teaser, would have gone a long way torwards breaking this up. I liked the spastic editing because it was still continuous, meaning it had flow... and it was good to see you post a video anyways so I gave it 5/5. can you do L-X quad cuts, I think that would be a nice phase to add...

I love you!

Definitely a good video. The "schizo" edtiting was pretty nice. I like how he screen glowed when the heavy beats came in, same with the motions and adding the fingerlocking, and the finger "displays" around the deck. It's good to see someone taking the full potential of a cut and to completely butcher it to find all its possibilities. Most people need to do that rather than just doing the cut the exact same way as the creator, BUT it does get boring watching the same things over and over again but if new things come in (finger displays) it gets entertaining. Good job, keep the "milking" coming.....Ok that didn't sound right.

Good job dude, the editing blew me away and the motions were smooth and nicely done. ^^ -Vince

As always! Video editing and flourishing are awesome! REALY nice X cut!! 5\5

Well, I understand what ya'll are talking about. How Richard performs this move WAY to much. But, to someone like me who looks at each video independantly, I thought this video was great. I love all the displays and the blueist tone. I also love how your fingers look at the beginning and end of the video (Like a Venus Fly Trap). Amazing editting there man. 5/5* from me. =)

I personally hated the editing.

Damn. I could watch those X-Cuts 100 times and I still like them. Loved the vid, loved the flourish, loved the editing! 5/5

One of something beautiful outweighs One-hundred somethings of ugly. This is artistic, and developed, unlike a lot of the crap out there. Who cares what the cut is? I think everyone is over-reacting. I was watching the style.

Editing was great, the timing with the music combined with the effects made it flow and added to the style. The motions were very artistic and stylish and it seems you've practiced them a lot. It was good except for the spinning motions from about 14 - 16 seconds, it looked like it was very unnecessary, and like you were just spinning your hands and wrists around. Still, great use and range of the motions with not just the cards.

I really like the choice of music. This asian style electronica track make a nice ambiance to your flourish. It is clear that you get, when you flourish you need to take consideration of other things than just the flourish itself. It even proves that with a very simple cut, you can make a good piece by choosing the editing style and music right. To be honest I'm getting pretty tired of all those videos with stereotypical punk bands playing only electric guitar and drums, and not even being good at it.

i Enjoyed it. End of story. =]
