Video effects


Video effects, Mostly every popular video uses effects from negative to other weird effects but honestly i enjoy this video's effects. This video has effects that i rarely see and it involves some action  based effects such as shock waves, energy risers and mist. The angling of the camera in the video is from low to high which creates this action-e sort of feel, this video is a very creative one which is why i like it.

If i were to make a video i would actually consider some of these effects, none of the video's i've seen recently have used such effects.  I think they are hard to apply but if applied correctly it may become a great video.I highly rate this video and i highly rate this b-boy.

Breaking in my life

 Right now i've been b-boying for a year and five months, honestly it's difficult but at the same time i strive to become better. As a b-boy improvement is editing your style, finding what moves sought me and practicing until im able to use those moves. I started breaking in the summer of 2011 and over the years i've had problems mainly knee injuries but in spite I kept practicing, right now it is march 20, 2013 and i am currently injured. I hope i can recover from this injury because i love breaking and wouldn't want to lose it, Breaking is now apart of my life.

Practicing is trial and error, you practice until you can do the move correctly and you aim to be one of the dopest around. Even having a mentor like i do it is difficult to learn moves perfectly and use them as you wish but that all comes with practice.  Their are many aspects and things you can do in this style of dance, acrobatics, beat hitting and of course the occasional joking around. I still have yet to figure out what my style of dance revolves around, i enjoy fundamentals and basics but i also enjoy the rhythm hitting and power moves. If i can continue my breaking career hopefully i can find out what my true style is.

TopRock

Toprock is one of the key parts of B-boying or breaking, whatever you want to call it but like I stated Toprock is a main in b-boying. Toprock is the standing part of b-boying its a bunch of steps you use to follow the music when you dance, which then corresponds to musicality. musicality or rhythm is basically the ability to listen to the music and pick up the beat, once you pickup the beat you hit most of it by using Toprock . Toprock display's your style aggressive, flow-e whatever you want to throw into your toprock can be add because it is your toprock.

Many dancers devote a lot of time on toprock, taking steps from house, using martial arts, flexibility when it comes down to it toprock is your pride. Toprock is what you do as a b-boy, You cant call yourself a b-boy or b-girl and not do toprock. Toprock is only a b-boy thing you cant get toprock anywhere this video explains the concept very well.
