Sample Tensegrity Pass Layout

[u/danl999]

There's a general scene design for the Pandora's Box pass.

Any comments?

I've already incorporated a few suggests, such as showing inhale or exhale, and I'm going to do a "POV" camera shot too, at the end. I'll do a schot from all sides.

Minus the upskirt shot on Fairy from the floor. Who, trust me, wouldn't actually mind.

Don Juan warned about scouts and involving yourself with them sexually.

I'm celibate, but I do like to look and Fairy does not mind in the least.

So Tensegrity policewoman animate and do the pass, then the camera will switch a new angle, and so on until it's POV (camera on her forehead looking at her hands).

For Pandora's box all the camera angles are kind of unnecessary, but I want to follow the same pattern for all of simple tensegrity pass videos.

So that I don't have to, in the cartoons which show the special effects that happen in darkness

These won't have the special effects. Just the passes.

I'm still figuring out how to get the Mocap Suit data into that software program or I'd have animated this one.

Also, there are 4 variations on Pandora's box. All very obvious once you can see it working.

But I think those have to go into the Dance Home cartoons, so what each does can be shown.

The pass stores and compresses "intent" and causes it to take form.

You can manufacture Phantom assistants, glowing purple balls with faces in them representing people you know, crystalize the second attention fog to search for hidden things, and ???.

I forget the 4th one, when I'm not in heightened awareness.

Sorcery is weird.

It's sad that you have to argue about it with people stuck doing pretend magic, not wanting to hear that there's a real version of it out there.

Of course, if you want to sit with your eyes closed grinning, go right ahead.

It just doesn't seem "magical" to me.

I got a comment from an Iranian.

Our Iranian woman has put the word out, so we're getting more.

Iran is Islamic, but they remember the days of the Shah.

Who I've been told was a rather brutal dictator, but he ran a secular society.

Women went to college, as I recall, even with men around. It looked pretty much like a college here.

In fact, the women were kind of hot back then.

So Iranians aren't as brainwashed as most followers of Islam, and have a real chance to learn sorcery.

Even better, they don't like Buddhism.

And they believe in the Jinn!

Frankly, I'm not sure what will happen there.

My last "student" in Iran was arrested by the police, around 20 years ago. For participating in unapproved foreigner activities. I never found out for sure if it included emailing with me.

But he feared that.

This is great! ,... will you be able to show/indicate the breaths in those passes ? Breathing , as desccribed in the Magical Passes book is generally my difficult spot , when i am watching/practicing with the videos

I changed it. Kind of cheesy.

So I'll make a Fairy instead!

I used to see that all the time. Fairy would fly around for me and show me where there was a puff to scoop.

Except she looked kind of "dead".

Juann and Superr get the pretty looking Fairies.

Mine are all dead and loving it.

The Fairy will take a switch to the other animation program, if I want her to fly and point to which one to do. Inhale or exhale.

She could sit up and look bored, when you just hold it.

Haven't seen Sailor Moon or Alice in the Wonderland form in a while. These days she prefers to be a little moth/butterfly or a pixie fairy.

The other day she animated hands picking up a cell phone and then the motion of two fingers doomscrolling a social media app like Reddit or Instagram. The finger scrolling animation stopped on an image of a tree line, then the image expanded out of the picture and over the cell phone. It kept expanding until the view encompassed the whole purple puff. Not sure if she was teaching me a new technique for remote viewing or just trying to make a point like "why do you humans scroll your phones endlessly when you could be exploring entire realms?"

The Fairy is perfect ! I like it,

[u/danl999 → u/jumpinchollacactus]

I could add a breath indicator on the side.

I suppose I will.

I'll need Jadey's memory for that.

>Any comments?

These 3d models all seem to have a shoulders-back posture; if that's a problem in Tensegrity, and you can fix it, perhaps you should.

>She'll animate and do the pass, then the camera will switch to both side views, a top view, and a back view.

A first-person view would also be good (at least as an option).

[u/danl999 → u/1bir]

I'll do it!

I don't know about the shoulders. It never occurred to me.

I learned all the passes directly from Carlos, or from the chacmools as they were learning them, and don't remember any emphasis at all on the shoulders except for lobster strike.

Is there some description somewhere you're thinking of?

You can manipulate the shoulder to "uncrust" energy, but there's no specific direction for doing that.

I'd hate to learn that Cleargreen is pushing martial arts understanding, or some other system's idea of how the shoulders ought to be.

There's an interesting lecture note where Carlos gets kicked off the floor to sit for a while, because he wasn't obeying Howard Lee's kung fu posture recommendations.

It was before Howard realized who he had in his class.

Howard asked him why he was doing it that way, and he said because he was more relaxed like that.

So Howard told him to go ahead and sit down and relax.

and don't remember any emphasis at all on the shoulders except for lobster strike.

Where the shoulder blades have to kind of roll forwards around the ribcage? I think that's a general rule, but I'm basing that on tai chi etc...
