Why are humans so negative? Out of all the comments, this is the top comment. Someone criticising something irrelevant instead of praising how awesome the actions of the lady in the video were

She’s awesome enough. The fake camera movements make it harder to watch and appreciate, while adding nothing positive. Most content creators would want to know if they’re unknowingly doing something that is ruining their content.

More replies

Maybe a bunch of people in the video editing field downvoted it. I downvoted and wanted to talk about the edit before I even focused on what she was doing.

In other words the a/v editing is so outrageously annoying that people completely missed her talent

Irrelevant? A video is two things, composition and content. Someone expressing a common view on the composition is not irrelevant.

More replies

Reddit is the ultimate crabs in a bucket. Most People on here are miserable envious hateful and just overall negative about life and have no fear projecting that due to the anonymity protection Reddit provides.

u/OnceMoreAndAgain avatar

Human brain is evolved to provide criticisms when there won't be a "social penalty" for it, because it's an altruistic way of helping us improve our chance to pass on our genes. I realize that sounds crazy, but it's true.

By "social penalty", I just mean that you probably wouldn't walk up to a stranger in real life who is doing something mildly wrong like shaking their cell phone while shooting a video. The criticism might enter your head, but you wouldn't speak the criticism, because you're not anonymous in that setting and you don't want to risk harming your relationship with that person.

On reddit, we're completely anonymous and so there is no social penalty for sharing the criticism. So we share it. Maybe someone like you would still feel "bad" about sharing the criticism, because in your mind you think that constructive criticism provides negative feelings to others and you don't want others to feel bad. However, some people appreciate and desire constructive criticism, so imo it's a matter of preference.

And why share criticisms? Because each of us is limited in our own ability to perceive our mistakes. We can realize a decent chunk of our mistakes, but inevitably we'll make mistakes that we won't be aware we're making unless someone tells us. And so we all are evolved to share criticisms when we can get away with it for no cost to ourselves, because when a society criticizes each other then we all improve and that improves our chances to find a mate, survive, be prosperous, etc. A little shaking video criticism might not make sense when I put such a big scope on things, but it's directly due to how the human brain is evolved to work.

rather, this is what happens when people just consume fast-paced media all day. you're not a creator, your source of dopamine is just consumption. It makes a lot of people jaded and negative towards anything that disrupts the flow of dopamine.

There's no way I would have even noticed those camera movements unless they were mentioned... and they're still not annoying. She's very talented

And most annoying fake audio movement.

Fake camera movement and zooming is probably supposed to go with the fake dubbed music.

It isn't supposed to be camera movement.. it's motion tracking and people go for that look on purpose

But this is shit

wth was even that

Almost annoying as the audio. I can't tell if it's a bad cover or they've mangled the original.

And worst sped up song that still doesn’t match tempo

The song stressed me out

My phones camera does some sort of autofocus thing when it takes a video. It's annoying when I forget that function is on, but I'd imagine that what she's using

More replies

She let go of one handle and grabbed it again after a turn. That is amazing.

I had to double triple check that, amazing indeed.

The mic release is not that hard. Source: been trying for a year and still can't do it :,(

I think releasing it is probably the easiest thing to do. It’s catching it again afterwards that’s the difficult bit.

Definitely. I have a nice release now and looks... ahmm, symmetrical... but still not able to catch it. But I'll keep practicing. Meanwhile, I think I already mastered the EB =)

That one I don’t get. That seems like the hardest part by far!

Right?? How'd I have to scroll down so far for this comment?

After watching her this was exactly my reaction. All the other moves were impressive but keeping it going without holding one end blew my mind a little.

u/VentriTV avatar

What handle? Let go of what? Huh? I must have missed something, was she doing something in the video?

u/Otiswilmouth avatar

The filming of this makes me feel like I’m watching a Bollywood movie.

u/howmanyturtlesdeep avatar

On that note I have a question. Is the whole every Bollywood movie breaks out into a musical that breaks the fourth wall where they look into the camera stemming from the Hindu spiritual belief that we are all actually Brahman playing hide and go seek with itself?

u/Otiswilmouth avatar

Couldn’t tell you dawg, I’m just a white dude who’s best friends family is from India so I’ve been exposed to the culture for 15+ years.

I think you could definitely make a cultural point about self-awareness and hindu motifs, however I feel like the connection is very far back. I don't believe the two in contemporary times are all that connected unless the film happened to be addressing that.

A lot of asian philosophies involve the idea of the whole splitting into the many to amuse itself, but it is not so similary present in other media.

imo it's more of a "musical" thing. It is a very cheesy and honest genre that leans into the experience of a theatre performance, rather than a totally immersive character driven drama.

I’m guessing the camera is being controlled or edited by an AI based on the jerky centering.

The original footage is stable, they've done all the zooms and movements in post-production.

u/_jonk avatar

So I noticed that lot of jump rope “stunt” people do this. And I don’t even think it’s bad, it’s just part of jump roping. But when she drops to one knee it’s like “holy shit, the time is so tricky, how impressive she got it under her knee like that”.

But a lot of times they just don’t, like in this case she just kind of flings the rope to the side. The fact that you have to slow it down to notice I think is fine, it’s about flair more than anything, and it works in that regard. Makes me wonder if I should just do more things with flair and people will think I’m doing something cooler than I am.

u/Aerolithe_Lion avatar

But you can take the one time she did something flashy and 1-up it with an insane stunt many didn’t even notice:

About 2/3rds the way through the video she throws one of the handles out and it whips back into her hand so flawlessly you almost couldn’t even tell she did it. Thats bonkers

When she let go of one, it looked like a ghost was like: “I gotcha don’t worry!”
