I got paired up with tommy. He is nice. The song he gave me was Giant - "Badness."

I've been working on combining digitz and robot and also some storytelling/style transitions. And so, I tried to combine all of that into one neat little package. I had a framework in my head of how I would do this, but lo and behold I got nervous, so not everything went as planned. In addition, my camera sucks, so pretty much none of the nuances that come with digitz and robot came through very well. Oh well, c'est la vie. Enough with the excuses, here's the clip:

Any critiques/comments welcome.

Soooo much nicer than your last clip. You need to stick with this path imo. You didn't look awkward at all even that leg lift you do that usually looks awkward fit well. And those were some nice beat freaks at the end. You didn't overuse the idea just gave a taste. I swear if you stick with this robot style for a few months your dancing will be really nice and you'll have more body control to play with different ideas. Simple to complex.

My only tip would be to really work those micro isolations to give subtle texture to fill out your dance. Other than that it's just some old fashioned hard work to get to the other side. I'm really happy that your dance came together for you. You can progress from this point without having to start from scratch.

def was feeling at 1:13ish and 2:40. I thought you represented this track real well. The botting is coming along real nice and it seems like your figuring out the best way to represent that style for you. GREAT JOB!!!!!!!!

niiice cleep, full of complex paths. some sweet diagonal lines too, i've been starting to play around with those myself.

i thought track representation was so-so. ur stops could've been cleaner but more importantly harder/had more emphasis put on them. i found it to be a bit on the soft side(compared to say scott or tiny), which lends itself better to liquid perhaps but the reason i picked dubstep was to bring out a more aggressive joon. i was half expecting you to turn green and foam at the mouth(especially since ur barefoot already).. :(. other than that everything was great overall.

Yes, definitely going to pursue this. From what I've seen, it's those microisolations that really make something look inhuman as opposed to just trippy.

Hah, I think a big reason that it didn't come out more aggressive is that I haven't really seen dubstep in its proper environment. To me, it just sounds chill and laid back. I tried to be a little 'harder' in a few of my practice sessions, but the aggression looked misdirected and incongruent. I really have no idea how to make liquid look aggressive to dubstep. If you're willing to make a clip to this track that would give me a better idea of what you meant, I'll take a stab at it, sort of like a call and response type thing. My liquid could use some more energy, so that might help get me into that.

i've definitely got a dubstep clip(s) in the working, personally its one of my fav genres to dance to. like i stated before it usually has harder drums to be aggressive with yet the tempo is slow enough that you can take ur time and setup more intricate movements/big-blowups/animation. check this out for now, u may have seen this one already but this waving clip is one of the first clips i saw that got me interested in dancing and listening to dubstep:

Whoa, that clip is awesome. Hmm, I'll need a couple of weeks, heh.

Excellent clip!! I watched this right before bed last night and was a little too tired to make a comment.

Last couple clips you looked akward/uncomfortable. This one was a full 180, you looked so relaxed. I might be using the wrong terminology here, but your 'paths' were so amazing. I had a lot of moments where I was like "I never thought about doing it like that." The botting does need some work but overall, excellent job!
