alucard 0 Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 ok so basically the idea here is just for everyone and anyone to spit out the most out there ideas to create new move/style inspiration for themselves and others all things are welcomed from visualization exercises for example picturing waves that the glowsticks ride on, etc, to watching martial arts, or sports for movement inspiration, for example i was watching this krav maga video the other day and they were doing this crazy Equilibrium style blocking/punching that i want to try and turn into something (can't find the video anymore). the more outside the box the idea the better Link to post Share on other sites
Merlin 3 Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 Actually my daughter got me inspired the other day while watching Sesame Street. She was watching an episode about shapes and they always show the lines of the shapes as they draw them so i grabbed my sticks and started at it. Then i noticed something.... most shapes i see made while sticking are either squares or circles, what i never see are Triangles, Octagons, Hexagons, Diamonds etc... So I've been trying to work on those shapes while sticking. btw EXCELLENT idea for this topic Alucard! Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 Reflections in geometry is something I've been picturing sometimes when fooling around. So say you make a sort of "corner" with two glowsticks on your upper-right. To reflect it over the "y" axis you'd take the horizontal stick and turn it perpendicular to the vertical stick while moving your hands left in formation. Link to post Share on other sites
Flecherd 0 Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 Well, I'm sort of new, but I've always thought of filming freehanding from directly above a freehander. I think that just this new camera angle could open up a whole new world for freehanding. Involving moving around more, with more behind the back moves. I'll see if I can film an example, it would have to be this weekend, and due to computer problems it would have to be unedited. Link to post Share on other sites
sawdust 0 Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 is it may just be me but the other day i was watching deadlest warrior on spike. (the show is awesome by the way.) and i got motivated to freehand. has anybdy else been motivated to frrehanf by fighting? Link to post Share on other sites
Neon 1 Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 Does anyone have access to a motion capture studio? I always wanted to see if we could do some interesting stuff with a computer model of someone with glowsticks. Would be great to get an indie game developed around glowsticking. Now to reel it back into reality, One of the concepts that I wanted to experiment with is the illusion of magnetism, this would entail using dance and shadow-moves to generate the appearance of the sticks either attracting or repelling each other. Would work well with different color sticks if you treated one color as positive and another as negative using three sticks with one always being hidden in a pocket or something.

DreiHarteZero 0 Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 For freehanding, D86 gave me the idea of using my rubik's cube as a third stick and solving it. It's a tough routine, but I love it. I was also thinking if people had more fun with it, I see freehanders dead serious facially, but when I watch wuxanXan, he does some pretty funny stuff. Same with RG. Making intentional mistakes and building a combo out of it would be cool. Link to post Share on other sites
alucard 0 Posted April 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 ok this one is way out there. give the sticks a character and try and make them embody the characteristics of it. for example make one stick a humming bird and the other a flower the humming bird hovers near the flower super fast helis and tiny tosses maybe. or make one a dog and the other a cat, and they chase each other the cat stick runs up your arm and the dog stick runs around the base because it can't climb. it doesn't have to be animals either you could have one stick be a car and the other a stop light every time car stick comes up to stop light stick it pauses to wait for a green lol. one stick is made of lead and the other is a feather so one stick is super heavy and the other just floats away. i told you it was out there...

DreiHarteZero 0 Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 That's really interesting, but I only think you would understand that. It's hard to meow and woof over the throbbing bass, I suspect. Link to post Share on other sites
hYdr0 0 Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 pretend like you're knitting lol. i can't knit myself but i can crochet and i thought it'd be somethin weird to try and re-enact in freehand. just spittin out ideas lol Link to post Share on other sites
Flecherd 0 Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 this is somewhat inside the box but its definitly a new move. Stall the glowstick with one hand, then push lightly upward on it to make it bounce, then cradle it down, and push it back up. But your doing all of this super quick, idk what kind of effect you would get, probably something like a rocky road or an earthquake. Expescially if you can do this with both hands at the same time.

Flecherd 0 Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 Probably a more difficult one that would require a lot of practice. A stomach trace except behind your back so your tracing a circle on your back. I dont think I could ever pull this one off. Link to post Share on other sites
epic soup 5 Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 instead of 3 string go right to 4 string? lol idk if 4 string has ever been done but i wanna try it 1 day Link to post Share on other sites

Flecherd 0 Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 How about when you drop a glowstick and still have one in your hand you forget about the one you lost. Continue on sticking with just that one stick. Stall from one hand to the other quickly, back and forth. Grab the stick at both ends and move it step by step. Maybe while your doing these one stick moves you can move closer to your lost stick so that you can pick it up while tracing your legs. Link to post Share on other sites

Aden 3 Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 I think that freehand ground traces should be explored further. Depending on the angle the stick is held while performing them I can think of some impressive combos. Link to post Share on other sites

A stomach trace except behind your back so your tracing a circle on your back. I dont think I could ever pull this one off. It's definitely possible. I've seen my friend do it clean. I can back trace with my right hand only, the left hand is still dumb. But I'm hoping to get that one down soon. In fact, a lot of the finger isos and helicopters can be done behind the back as well. This is where learning how to string comes in handy. *Sigh* Link to post Share on other sites
sawdust 0 Posted May 2, 2009 Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 this would require alot of arm strenth and learning how to break dance, but when you drop a stick you do some crazy breakdancing spins on the ground, then do a handstand on top of the dropped glowstick and while you get back up onto your feet you also pick up the glowstick.

DreiHarteZero 0 Posted May 2, 2009 Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 I challenged Wushu to try this: Heli toss, but catching the glowsticks on the sole of your feet when you do a handstand, then tossing them up and standing up and catching them. Link to post Share on other sites
Parker 0 Posted May 3, 2009 Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 I have this random ass toss, lol. I sortof call it the "elevator toss". Cuz you chuck a glowstick up, and drop quickly to your knees before catching it. Or when you're on your knees, you chuck the stick up and catch it when you stand back up. What do ya think?

Holix 0 Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 Probably someone already thought/done this, but anyways for freehanding, i get tired of bending over to pick up sticks when i drop them, so instead i just make a trace off the floor with the other glowstick and pick up the one on the floor while im making a trace off the floor ;p Link to post Share on other sites
