Isn't the next Para Boom scheduled for next summer, with the release of SEB200? Haha, I love how the Japanese peoples almost have their fashions and fads written on the calendar.

That would be very suitable. Let's hope it's true.

I got my copy of I Love Dance and wasn't disappointed. We already also had 1 Week in our circle and I wouldn't be surprised if it ended up among my all-time favorites at some point.

However, I can't help being bothered by the impression that the videos seem to have been shot at a slower speed. Probably not half, that would be too obvious, but maybe 0,75? That would explain why the dancers' moves are crisp to the point of looking animated.

Blood on Fire is probably the most obvious example, wherefore it's no surprise they've chosen that one for the background person, which doesn't make it any more credible but the opposite. It's clear to see she's been included in a different shot.

However, not all of the dancers manage to impress even with the help of technology. Especially the ones doing Bandido are just tragic. I'm not too convinced about the other men, either.

All in all, though, the dvd is well worth owning. It just takes some getting used to not to pay attention to irrelevant properties.

I'm really going to have to disagree with you on this here. I'm 99.9% sure they did not slow down the speed of the videos. They look as good as they do because the majority of the dancers are as close as you can get these days to professional Para dancers ^^;

I don't think Marie in the background of Blood On Fire was shot in a different shot either. I think you may be over analyzing things a bit =P

The point is that they don't look good. They look artificial and animated >< Of course, the reason might also be bad post-production but in a product of this level that prospect is possibly ever more worrying.

Well, then do explain why are there no shadows on or around her? :???:

Not really. I wouldn't have come to think about the whole issue if it didn't make me feel uneasy every time I watch it...

They probably look "artificial and animated" because its a video. Videos are made up of a series of pictures just moving quickly at a certain number of "frames per second". Due to the way they're dancing, the camera/video makes an illusion of some sort that makes them appear animated, due to the whole fps (frames per second) thing. XP

The lighting. They probably set it up to cancel out shadows, which can also give off the illusion of "pasting" in a background.

Is it really?! :!: Well, thank you for this valuable piece of information but I happen to own a lot of other similar products that strikingly differ from this one. If it doesn't bother you, all the better for you.

After watching it, I don't really see what you're going on about either ufopoli :P oh well at least the visual presentation doesn't affect the routines themselves.

Alex and I shall be filming some new routines really soon too :D

C'est pour très bientôt!!

We filmed the new batch last weekend, and they should be uploaded by the end of the week for sure! Watch, I'm sure Alex will be spreading them all over the internet by tommorow ;)

There is a romantic theme to our new medley, right in time for the season of love to come soon, and some more energetic and upfront dances from our hot and sweet Alex :D
