"It's All The Same" Choreography - Take One
Added 2016-08-30 23:10:49 +0000 UTCI'm working on a new project, and Patrons may be the only ones who ever see it. In one of his vlogs, Skitzo mentioned that he always flies with music. I've seen FGA's performances to music at Dubai and New York, and I would guess he goes so far as to choreograph.
Normally, when I fly freestyle, I just do whatever and sync it to music later. But this time I'm doing something different. I've picked a track--"It's All The Same" by Signal Path--and I'm flying pack after pack to the same music, trying to actually develop choreography. It doesn't mean that each flight will be identical, but hopefully the resulting performance will be more in tune with the music, and show more coherence and flow than if I was just making it up as I go.
The reason this project may never be seen is that I can't upload copyrighted music to my YouTube channel without risking a copyright strike. Most music will simply result in the video being claimed by the copyright owner so that they get all ad revenue, but I don't want to take even the chance of getting a strike. But I'm happy to share the video with my Patrons via this OneDrive link. Please keep it to yourself.
The above video is approximately my 15th repetition of this song, over the course of about a week. It's the first one where I felt a little bit good about it at the end. It's the first one where I felt that it was starting to come together. I'm sharing it with you even though it's not perfect, because I thought you would enjoy watching the process of (hopefully) improvement.

Awesome... history in the making I reckon.

2016-08-31 08:44:02 +0000 UTCIn regards to Skitzo's tuning technique.... I agree if you have a smooth non-aggressive flying style like he does, and that pinch claw stick technique he has I'm sure doesn't allow much for slapping the stick hard center very easily. I don't think I would be happy tuning using his method since I still like really like the way hard stops look. I mix in hard stops with smooth rolls and flips and such. He rarely has as hard a stop as many other pilots have.

2016-08-31 03:36:07 +0000 UTCI've wanted to fly with music for a while now, but I can't fly for fun until I'm satisfied with a tune, and my Epic 235 has taken longer than my retunes on my QAVR which I'm very familiar with. The frame being new to me and it being all KISS, how different things manifest themselves on KISS is a bit different that it has added to my tune time as well. In any case, Joshua.... the flight looks good....it flying is similar as the person flying is the same, but the pacing of the moves seemed different than your uses pacing. Looked good.
