you did really good dude. the moves were better than the editing though, you spent too much time with the "black screen" in between moves. and it cut to a black screen in between EVERY MOVE. would've loved to see you develop some flow and do a couple moves in a routine in one shot. anyways not bad 'tall for a first video. keep on kuttin'

3/5 from me dogg.

I gotta say that doesn't look like a first flourishing video. How long have you been flourishing before you made that? If I were to judge I'd say no less than a year, 8 months min.

If you continue like this, I may have to watch out for you in the future.
The move at 1:05, was great.
4/5

1 year exactly =) The video was filmed using a camera phone using adobe premier elements(which came free with the phone) to edit. I hope to get a decent cam if money allows and probably a better editing software. Thanks so much for the comments guys, much appreciated =).

Work on the tornado, rest is fine. But don't have too much madonna-style moves in your arsenal. I would like to see more variety. Nice performance.

I liked it, I only really saw 1 or 2 "madonna-style" moves, though it did get a little same old towards the end. This problem could easily be solved with some nice editing to change up the video, the problem with most videos that showcase similar moves is that they just drag on. With some nice editing you don't really need that much content to make an amazing video. I just hope my first video when it comes time to make one is as good as this one.

Yeah after watching it a few more times the first black screen transition is kinda long, and yea could do with some editing at the back. Maybe i'm just to excited and decided to cram more moves than is necessary into this vid. =) should have held out and waited for more opinions =( Well i guess thats how you improve ;)

Your video is great, just when it comes to flourishing, we all do it, so technical ability is rarely what impresses us. Laymen love seeing a million cuts, but when you don't really present original material, presentation is what keeps people interested. This is why people like Jordan Lapping, who doesn't do a lot of his own material, focus' on the presentation of his videos which is what makes them entertaining regardless if I've seen the cuts 1000 times. The video was great, I just thought some constructive criticism would be more useful that "IT'S AWESOME" because that doesn't help you get better now does it?

OOPS forgot to credit lepaul, oh and one of my cuts were inspired by Allan D =)

You got some really slick moves in there. I'm not going to comment on the editing because it's already been said. But you have some serious skills. How long have you been flourishing?

The only bad thing about it was the not so good camera.
It is good, but the stuff you were doing, should have been done with a nicer camera, because it would have made it better, and the blacknees wasnt cool.

Anyways GREAT job!
