Montante Video: redux
IT'S DONE! I redid the whole thing and made it half as long.
Jesus fucking Christ video editing is hard lol.
But yes, please give it a gander and let me know what y'all think. My goal on making this was to give more of a survey-level exploration of movement as a concept. Something I struggled with last time as I was trying to talk a bit too exacting in the way I think the feet should be placed, all the while ignoring the discussion on how the sword influences everything I do. And, while I stand by a lot of what I said, reviewing my own footage and going back to the sources made it clear that I needed to reexamine how I look at this stuff. Nobody's done learning the basics, even as far into this art as I am.
I also think I needed to be more descriptive as opposed to prescriptive in how I talk about things, and trying to give more context on why I move the way I do, without telling people down to individual degrees how to place their feet. This is all up to interpretation, after all, and I think I made a good enough case here on why I do things the way I do while still leaving room to let other people look at it in their own way.
So, yeah, let me know what y'all think. I'm keeping this one unlisted for now to get some feedback from the community before I make anything available for the general public.
