Hip Hop

Some of the Hip Hop moves that people peform are mind-boggling. Whether hip hop dancing is a leisure activity for you, or you participate competitively and are looking for a way to become a better player, Video Surgeon can be a tremendous help. The videos below are a great example of just a few of the things Video Surgeon can do for you. The example clip below was downloaded from YouTube using Video Surgeon and then slow motion and zoom was applied. Below the videos are a series of still pictures or images from the video showing a progression or sequence of steps from one particular acrobatic dance move.

Video 1: This is the original clip from the YT video at normal speed and with no zoom.

Video 2: This second video is the same as above except that it is at 25% of the original speed. It is easy to see how this slow motion helps you better see and analyze the movement and steps in involved in this very acrobatic dance move.

Video 3: This third video is the same as above except we have applied a 2-fold zoom. Both slow motion and zooming are applied to make it easier to closely examine the the sequence of movements as well as the final position when he lands on the matt.

Video 4: This fourth video is slowed even further, to 6.25%. No zoom is applied. Again the value of slow motion for analyzing the motion from start to finish is apparent..

Pictures from video: Video Surgeon allows you to print to paper or to file, one or a series of images. In the example below there are four images which show the progression of steps of this acrobatic dance move. For brevity's sake we have limited this to four, but if you were learning or teaching this move you might want to have the entire sequence from beginning to end.
