After practice tonight, we tried capturing some saber flourishes with a slow phone-camera shutter speed (2 seconds). We were captivated by the first couple, so we tried some form-specific motions and I love them! Below are some of my favorites.
Orbit in Soresu
Corona sphere of engagement in Makashi
Part of Shii-Cho dulon, first section
The Soresu one and Shii-Cho one are absolutely my favorites. The Soresu one because of how it looks like a damn cloak or piece of armor encompassing the guy. The Shii-Cho one because it looks like a swelling wave, growing in size and power as it moves forward. I just think these are so neat! It's like you can see the personality of the forms compressed over time. If anyone has their own, I'd love it see them! I'd be interested in seeing how it looks if you captured a short duel between styles.
EDIT: I now realize this may belong in the artistry sub-forum. 'Pologies if that is the case.
