Darcy Monaghan: Spinning is for Grown-ups Too

One of the things that I noticed while reviewing the second video was that sometimes horizontal lines would appear when I tried to follow Darcy's motion. In the first video, which allowed me to actually put multiple clips together, I felt like I captured the atmosphere of the situation on a more emotional level. I've noticed this in the past when making highlight reels; sometimes there's a portion of the video where really nothing is happening, and people are waiting for the next "event" to take place. With the clipped video, I could potentially cut out the moments where nothing was happening and record only the most interesting parts.

That being said, though, the longer video felt rushed, because I would sometimes start recording in the middle of the action, with no "buffer" leading up to what was actually going to happen. Had I been able to actually go and edit through different clips where time before the event was present in the video, I feel that the overall feel would have been much more professional; the main points would be captured, but they wouldn't be so close to one another as to feel like they were on top of each other.
