Pole

another experimental foray into td, using the pole as the axis of symmetry, limbs extending out. inspo: intro from “dark”, the tv series, as well as twigs’ video “striptease”. i’m also time-shifting a bit here and layering another delayed version of myself with a mult filter. need to figure out background-subtraction, but the version of td i have doesn’t have the nvidia chop that i need that most tutorials are referencing. ...

This move is deceptively hard due to the requirement of side-bending (and I have a lot of mass on my lats so there isn’t a ton of room to manuever) and the very intense feeling of skin shearing that happens when you extend the front leg. It’s not a move I can get very frequently but here’s my closest attempt done a few weeks after training. I think I have the flexibility to do this with both legs straight but currently just need to build up the pain tolerance for it. ...

slit scan capture #slitscan using #hydra.js on a half-time video of my best split-grip #pdayesha. would love to realtime-project this onto the dancer going out one side of the pole like this. right now speed of the trail is dictated by the amplitude of one of the fft bins for a bit of a dynamic effect — subtle in this more ambient track. ...
