I've been M.I.A. (and Riel also) due to unexpected crazy work weeks and our focus on the dotorg collab video. Our focus is definitely going to be on that over this next week. I hope to be able to jump back in and catch up once we've had a breather after the video is complete. I'm really looking forward to that. ^_^

@Elsie - It is clocks horizontal The only difference with the clock move Ryan suggested, is that in your move you keep spinning both hands same direction (when doing half spin-spin) while in Ryan's move one hand spins clockwise and the other counter. Lovely move! I will try to come up with something later today.

Dont wait if you are ready to choose this weeks winner but if we wanted to wait till late today or tomorrow as soon as i get home from work ill film my submission. I accidentally fell asleep way earlier than I meant to last night.

*Edit*
Uploading now, Im at 60%, it should be up in the next 30 minutes.

Sorry for the delay .orgers but yesterday a few last minute things pop up and i had to be away from home... anyways, i have to chose between these 2 moves which are both good exercises. I will stick with Elsie's move for these reasons:
- it's an original suggestion at this forum
- great practice for horizontal line transfer mixed with fix point
- it has a great flow and my eyes like it a lot
- it gave me some food for thought and practice with perpendicular patterns!!! Thank you Elsie

So, the move we follow this week is Elsie's horizontal clocks - (tip: try to form a straight line, even for a few milliseconds, before changing to the other side. It gives a much better effect):

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=pl ... MDILzVfTo#!

Move 1 - Elsie's move - Both batons clockwise - Smooth movement, well isolated balls, both hands making perfect circles right next to each other.

Move 2 - Grateful's move - Use the horizontal line that the batons create at the end of move 1 as a base line, and do not let any part of the baton go below it.
Bring batons up to meet each other in the middle, then back down to base line again. Your hands draw a quarter circle each, making a semi circle.
If you are doing this correctly, on the move up to the middle you should find a ball naturally isolates itself on the left hand baton, then on the way down it will be on the right hand baton. At the same time, on the way up to the middle, on the right hand baton a ball will travel in a straight line upwards above to iso'd ball, and likewise on the way down, a ball will travel straight downwards on the left hand baton.

Move 3 - Pilolip's move - When I first saw this, after I'd stopped salivating I tried to analyse what was happening. I got all muddled when I was watching the balls, so I watched Pilolip's hands instead, and there was my answer - it was the same move as Grateful's except with the bottom part of the pattern added. If you watch his hands you'll see that they are both doing a semi-circle each, thus making a full circle.
Do the same thing making the 'base line' horizontally, and when you do the top part, don't go below it, and when you do the bottom part, don't go above it.

Move 4 - Ryan's Clocks - The easiest way I found to remeber what was going on is all in the name. The right baton goes from 12 o'clock to 6 o'clock, just as a real clock hand would. Then the left baton goes from 6 o'clock to 12 o'clock again. Aim to keep the movement of whichever baton is just travelling the straight line in as straight a line as possible, but I'm sure you knew that already
Something helpful for this move is to keep both hands totally level (on the horizontal plane) with each other the whole way through, this will help keep the timing right on the baton doing the circles.

Move 5 - Cory's box pattern - With this one you are drawing the shape of two boxes side by side. After the last 'clocks' move, when the batons come to rest in the upright position, they are already making the "inner walls" of the boxes you are about to make. Isolate the upper ball on each baton, and move the batons until they make the "upper walls" of the boxes (i.e. in a straight horizontal line), then isolate the outer balls and move the batons to make the "outer walls" of the boxes. Next, isolate the two lower balls and move the batons to make the "bottom walls", then isolate the two central balls and move the batons back to the first position, the "inner walls". Good hints to make this look clean is to try and define each 90 degree switch by almost jerking the baton at each transition.

Move 6 - Pich's big box - Very similar to the last pattern, but instead of making just two small boxes, you are making two more directly underneath the last ones (or one big box if you like) (or two tall rectangles if you also like). If anyone wants this explaining some more I'll do a slowed down video so you can see it clearly.

Move 7 - Congasious' move - From the bottom section of the big box move, just before both batons would move to the lowest horizontal section of the box, they do a half antispin upwards. The balls at the bottom travel in a straight line upwards, while the balls at the top do an horizontal straight line across the middle where they meet, before they return back to their starting point. Then you isolate those balls and spin the batons through 180 degrees back to the start of the move. "Half antispin, half spinspin". Rinse and repeat!

Move 8 - Pich's move - During the last 'half antispin' of Congasious' move, keep the upper balls travelling in the same direction they were going (towards the center) and when they meet, keep them moving right across each other. The batons go totally horizontal and your right arm wants to be ABOVE your left arm. Keep travelling across until the batons have fully passed each other, making a straight line.
From here, your goal is to keep the batons in this straight line, and make them do a complete clockwise circle, using the point where the two balls are together as the central point of rotation. Your arms will uncross, and then cross again, with your left arm ABOVE your right arm.
The important part of this move is the horizontal lines. Try to make these lines as clean and flat as you can before the spin, during the spin, and then once it has finished.

Move 9 - by Congasious - After the full double spin-spin proposed by Pich, your hands go back in the other way : they will made a perfect circle in anticlockwise during the batons are continuing to spin (with the fingers) at the same speed, still in clockwise. So for each baton, there is a double spin in opposite way with 1 small spin during 1 big spin, it's a full antispin 1-1. We can see straight lines when the batons are horizontal and when they are vertical and also, the batons stay all the time parallel. Then we repeat the full double spin-spin 1-1 and then the full double antispin 1-1

Move 10 - by Elsie - After completing a full spin-spin with both arms so that we form a straight horizontal line with crossed arms, the right hand does a half spin-spin keeping the same direction while the left arm transfers the baton horizontally until we form a straight line with arms uncrossed. Then the left hand does a half spin-spin the same direction and the right arm transfers the baton horizontally until we form a straight line with crossed arms. (note: the batons doing the half spin-spin are always moving on the upper part of the circle)

Looking much forward to seeing Sennyo, Riel and any other coming back to this FTL
Also looking much forward to watching the collaboration video you are making!!!

See you at move 11

Cory, your submission this week was really tight! Very clean angles and iso's!

Hey cool, I got chosen! I've not seen the move I did before, but the inspiration was mainly from that video you put out recently, Congasious. My whole style has changed quite a lot since that vid came out!

Ryan, great to see you've joined again, and good to see the target stuff. I've not played around with those very much. Your horizontal clocks was the wrong way around though

Sweet, nice one Yorgos! I've played around with a few moves to add this week but haven't found one that flows very well. Now I haven't got time to make a video, I'm away on a gig

Sorry, I've been a bit awol the last 24 hours!

I've decided to go with Congasious, again for flow reasons. It's a nice move that keeps good rhythm with the move before it. I love the targets and look forwards to them being part of the sequence, but they may have to wait another round!

I'll do a proper update when I can get to my computer. For the moment I'm stuck on the sofa and unable to move

Hey it's been quiet in here!

I've been either really busy or in pain this week, but have just managed to find a tiny gap to make a quick submission. I'll upload it here shortly and then hopefully get chosen by default

There's still a bit of time to get them in if you hurry!

*edit* Here's my one for the week.
