技術的な話です。

炎の美しさを撮るためのテクニックは実は物凄く奥が深く、なかなか思い通りには撮影できません。

例１　白い炎

たとえば下の写真はシャッタースピードを長くして軌跡を写していますが炎の色は撮れていません。
真っ白になっています。

地面や周囲の看板などは暗いながらも綺麗に見えていますが、これらに露出をあわすと火は明るすぎて色が白くとんでしまいます。

例２　暗闇に浮かぶ火の玉

次の写真は炎に露出を合わせていますので炎の色は綺麗に撮れていますが今度は人の体は見えません。

火の質感を出すためには絞りをぐっと絞ってISO感度を落とす必要があるため火以外の部分は夜だとほぼ写りません。
余談ですがサングラスをかけて火を見ると写真で見るような炎の表面の質感が綺麗に見ることが出来ます。

上記の白とびや黒つぶれがおきるのは、

炎　物凄く明るい！
周囲　物凄く暗い！

という状況で撮影するため、通常はカメラだけであればどちらか(人か炎）の露出に合わせれば逆のほうが綺麗に撮れなくなってしまうのです。

しかしこれは（強い）フラッシュを使用することで解消することができます。
まだ設定を模索中ですが例のひとつがこれ

カメラの設定を炎の明るさに合わせ、最後にフラッシュを焚いて演者を浮かび上がらせるという仕組みです。

以下、ファイアーの撮影をしたい人必見の撮影テクニックを書きます。
おお！と思ったら鍛えて新しいテクニックを是非僕に共有してください。

設定方法

0　フラッシュ発光モード

フラッシュの発光を後幕にする。
フラッシュはシャッターを切る際に先に発光させる先幕か、後に発光させる後幕かがあります。
後幕の方が自然です。

先幕

後幕

1　カメラで炎だけを綺麗に撮れる設定を作る。

演者は火をつけ適当に回しておきます。カメラの設定はマニュアルです。
通常であれば、ISO 100, F10程度で撮影を行い、そこから微調整していきます。(ライブパフォーマンスの場合はフラッシュの連射性を優先してISO400,F10程度がよい。 :コメント参照)
シャッター速度はバルブモードにしておき自分の好きなタイミングでシャッターを切ります。
※背景が真っ暗で、火を回し続ける動きの場合、シャッター速度は基本的に関係ありません。

２　フラッシュ（ストロボ）の設定

１の設定のまま、演者に今度は火を持たずに立ってもらう。
フラッシュはETTL等ではなくマニュアルモードにします。

適当にシャッターをきり、フラッシュを焚く。

580EXII等の手動でフラッシュを焚けるタイプのフラッシュは、バルブモードでシャッターを開きっぱなしにしておき適当なところでフラッシュをたき、シャッターを閉じれば簡単に写真の仕上がりを確認できます。
人が綺麗に写る位置、フラッシュの強さを設定します。

※この時点でかなりの光量があるフラッシュでないと人物は撮影できません。

３　撮影

ファイアーポイを回してバルブモードでバンバンとります。
回し始め、中、消えかけ、で微妙に露出が変わります。
そこは経験と勘で微調整。もしくは設定を変更せずに撮影してもそこまで白とびや黒つぶれは気にならないと思います。

※上記テクニックはライトにも使えます。
※フラッシュの重要性と絞りの基礎概念はHBK!さんに数年前に教わり新たな写真の魅力に目覚め、そして海外のカメラマンたちと交流し、自分なりにアレンジしつつ今日に至ります。
※HBK!さんに心から感謝しています！

上記設定で撮りつつ、他のこまごました微調整もありますがまだ未完成な部分が多いし長くなるのでそこは省略します。

フラッシュの購入を検討されている方へ

フラッシュはある程度強いものを購入しなければファイアー撮影は厳しいことはお分かりになったかと思います。
またフラッシュを普通に使っただけでは平面的な写真になるため、フラッシュを2台以上つないでシンクロさせて他方向から発光したり、ケーブルで伸ばして横から焚いたりするとより立体的な絵が生まれます。

2台目以降を同期して使うとき、親機のストロボをマスター、子機のストロボをスレーブと言いますが、最近カメラ本体にはマスター機能（スピードライトトランスミッター機能）が標準搭載されており、またある程度クラスの上のフラッシュにはこのワイヤレスのスレーブ機能がついています。

ワイヤレスマスタ機能搭載機：Kiss X5, X6i, 7D, 60D,ほか

私は580EXIIというもっとも高機能で協力なフラッシュのひとつを破格で購入することができて使用していますがその他オススメのフラッシュを紹介します。

↓  2015年現在追加で1灯購入しました。現在間違いなく v860Cが最強！お勧めのストロボです。これは600RTと光量同等、電池はリチウムイオンでチャージはむしろこっちのほうが早い。値段は半額以下で購入できます。

番外編

スレーブユニット

キャノンのワイヤレス発光は何故か後幕発光ができません！

冗談よしてよ！と言いたくなりますがホントです。
アメリカでThomasとあれこれやっても出来ずにマニュアルを何度もうそでしょ？と読みなおして、それでも後幕発光する方法が見つからず心から失望してニコンに乗り換えることも本気で考えました・・・。

純正だけのワイヤレスではファイアーパフォーマンスの撮影がまともに出来ないという不具合があります。ふざけるな！という怒りの声を上げたいです。

しかしそれを解消するのがスレーブユニット！

ああこういう機材があって本当によかった！

スレーブユニットにフラッシュを取り付けると、他のフラッシュが発光した光に反応してフラッシュが発光します。
つまり本体のフラッシュの設定を後幕にしておけば、このスレーブユニットに取り付けたフラッシュはキャノンだろうがニコンだろうが、自動的に後幕発光するスレーブフラッシュとして仕様することができます。

その際フラッシュのオート調光機能が使えず、マニュアルで光量設定を行う必要がありますが、ファイアー撮影はそもそもマニュアルで設定するので関係ないでしょう。

オススメスレーブユニット

エツミ E-528 スレーブユニッ... 価格：2,710円（税込、送料別）

↓↓ これかっちゃだめ ！！ ↓↓

↑　このユニットはサンパックのフラッシュ専用でした。接点があうフラッシュであれば使えましたが、ボタン電池が必要でしかも電池がすぐ切れる！
珍しいタイプの電池で2個買うと大体500円。撮影ごとに500円かかるし、接続できないフラッシュもあるし、非常にコストパフォーマンスが悪いです！
サンパックのフラッシュであれば買い、他のフラッシュの人、少なくともファイアー写真を撮ることを考えている場合は買わないほうが良いと思います。

魚眼レンズとフラッシュ

魚眼レンズとフラッシュ（大きめ）の相性は最高です！僕の使っているのはTF-115という安いコンバージョンレンズ、それに580EXIIをつければ集合写真に最適カメラが誕生です。

カメラ →　絞りを　F9 ～ F12
フラッシュ　→　マニュアルで適正を自分でタタッ数枚ためし撮りしつつ探す

そうすると夜でもばっちり集合写真撮れるし、撮られるみんなの盛り上がりも撮られたあとの驚きの反応も確実にもらえて楽しくなります。
写真を撮ること、それ自身がパフォーマンスになるのですね。

Mapposu Poi

Kodama from Local TV program did poi performance with this music. He took my poi workshop about 5hours.

Result will be on Air 18 Aug 2012.

3beat weave turn

You can combine forward weave and backward weve, when your arm make"Open" position.

You need to close arms after turn other wise it becomes normal split carry turn.

Stall

Stall is the move you stop poi.

Butterfly

Basic move on the wall plane (front plane)

Backward 3beat weave

back ward 3beat weave. count as "Under, Over, back"

start 2beat weave and see the poi under. Put "over" between, "Under, back"

3 beat weave

practice with one hand, and count 3 as "over, under, back".

Practice about 15mins each hand, and start 2beat weave.

See the hand over the other hand, you can see that "over, back" move there, and you put "under" betweeen those. Do it several time and you get 3 beat weave in a day or week...

2beat weave

Cross move in split time

Cross

Cross arm like skipping rope move.

Cross (one hand)

Practice with one poi!

Split Carry Turn

Count the rhythm with the poi which you want to turn.

Split Time

Spin poi in split time, and keep the side plane.

Carry Turn

From Forward, turn when poi comes down.

From Backward, turn when poi comes up.

Forward Backward

make pararell plane on the side with Poi.

PARTNERPOI POSITIONS

With partner poi we differentiate between two different positions. These vary depending on which hands are linked with one another.

RIGHT HAND to RIGHT HAND
(DIAGONAL-POSITION)

RIGHT HAND to LEFT HAND
(FRONTAL-POSITION)

The four beat weave is slightly trickier in the frontal position and can be a bit of a challenge for the wrists.

PARTNERPOI MODES

Modes are varying arm and shoulder speeds that are suitable for various different sequences.

SPLIT-TIME ARMS (CRAWL-MODE)

In the crawl mode, the arms move in split-time, just like when swimming the crawl. This balanced rhythm makes the crawl mode pleasant to do and is ideal for entering and leaving positions as well as combined steps and turns.

SAME-TIME ARMS (BRACE-MODE)

The brace mode is a bit like breaststroke and is more static than the crawl mode. However, it is perfect for visual moves like pirouettes and flowers.

PARTNERPOI THREAD THE NEEDLE to THREE BEAT WEAVE Cycle

The following cycle, which we also refer to as the machine, involves thread the needle and the three beat weave in two different directions. Concentrate on the stalling arm (in this case the right-hand arm) and don’t despair if the upward thread the needle feels a bit awkward to start with.

PARTNERPOI THREAD THE NEEDLE to THREE BEAT WEAVE

Concentrate on the quarter turn here in order to be able to switch cleanly from the wheel plane in to the wall plane. To help you grasp this transition, it is also possible to have a single player simulate it.

FOUR BEAT WEAVE to THREE BEAT WEAVE continual

The same exercise without a break in the four beat wave position

FOUR BEAT WEAVE to THREE BEAT WEAVE

Watch the weave’s forwards and backwards movement and find the right moment for one person to change position. Make sure you’ve got the hang of the different weaves before trying to combine them.

４ Beat to 3Beat

A partner (you) turn the 2 of un-wind arm position.

Un-wind arm at Your Partner Side : Move body to the front of your partner and start 3 beat weave.
Un-wind arm at Your Side : Move body to the behind of your partner and start 3 beat weave.

3 Beat to 4 Beat

Use one of the 2 un-wind arm position. When you un-wind the arms at your partner side, you'll move to 4 beat weave (Crossed weave) position.

WALKTHROUGH and THREE BEAT WEAVE

The walkthrough is one of the most important basic partner poi moves and allows you to enter and leave a wide variety of figures with ease.

You will do "Carry Turn" over through the Partner's body.
Check the lesson of Carry Turn if you haven't watched it yet. 

Once you’ve got the hang of the walkthrough in both directions, it can for example be combined as a two-hand three beat weave.

PARTNER POI THREAD THE NEEDLE

The right rhythm is essential here. The move will only work if both poi are swinging same-time with one another.

Check ou Thread The Needle Lesson for one person if you haven't wathced it yet.

PARTNER POI FOUR BEAT WEAVE

The four beat weave, or crossed weave, is a key partner poi move and opens up countless new possibilities later on. To start off, it is helpful if one of the two players spins the poi behind his or her back, thus making it possible for his or her partner to interlace.

You need the move "REEL" for make it smooth.

Partner Poi Three beat weave

The three beat weave with a partner is the same as for just one player. You might find it helpful to practice the three beat weavealone, to understand how it works.

Learn how to do 3 beat weave for one person also.

Inside Elbow Stall

One of the basics, but very visible move. If you can isolate the position of your ball, and do transfer from palm to elbow, elbow to palm, it looks like Okotanpe!

You can blow the ball with your mouth, and pinch the invisible thread from the ball when you pull from palm, it looks even more Okotanpe.

Infinite Spiral Wrap

Spiral move that Thomas and Cyrille discovered in 2009 Firedrums. The spiral can be continued infinitely very easily.

Practice method

Practice with one Poi.

1. rap poi around your wrist, and unwrap as the other direction.Keep wrapping and unwrapping untill you feel comfortable with it. Do the same thing with the other hand.
2. Wrap poi around your wrist once, ant hold your hands togerther. Poi wrap your wrist togerther. Make sure that poi does't wrap your hands, but wrist.
3. Keep holding hands togerther, then keep wrapping and unwrapping untill you feel comfortable with it. Do the same thing with the other hand.

Practice with 2 Pois.

1. Spin poi in front of you in split time. Wrap around wrist separately. Unwrap, and wrap the other direction. Keep doing this untill you feel comfortable with it. Try keep the rhythm in Split time.
2. Spin poi in front of you in split time Wrap around wrist once, and hold hands togerther. Poi wrap around your wrist togerther, if you spin poi in right ungle with your hands, it automatically wrap your wrist. Twist, untwist your hands ant poi will get more even position.

How to go out from sprial

If you started by the clockwise spinning, you can go out with relesing hands on the other directon counter clock wise.
If yoiu release hands on the same direction as you came in, you will get poi shorter.

For safety

Don't do this move without protector! This move can burn your wrist very heavily!!

ポイスピナー的視点からカメラについてのミニ知識を共有したいと思います。

なお、全てのカメラ名やレンズ名についているリンクはアマゾンにリンクしています。
リンク先から購入していただけると紹介料がもらえるので購入の際は是非リンクをクリックしてくださいね☆

ちなみに僕の使用しているのはCanon デジタル一眼レフカメラ Kiss X6i です。(2013.2.23現在)

初めての人向けなので詳しい解説は省いています。
要点だけまとめたので詳しく知りたい人はコメントしてください。

※ポイカメラ初心者向けの記事です。プロの皆さん、厳しい目で見ないで下さいね。

1　センサーのサイズ

画素数を気にする人がいますが、今はほとんど気にしなくて良いです。
だいたい必要以上の画素数があります。それよりもセンサーが大事。 

カメラの心臓部。レンズから入った光を受けるセンサーのサイズ。
デジタル一眼レフカメラのセンサーはコンパクトデジカメのセンサーと比べるとその差が歴然です。
どんなに高性能なコンパクトデジカメも、センサーのサイズが小さければ表現力も限界があります。 

写真左がデジイチのセンサー（APS-Cサイズ）右が一般的なコンパクトデジカメのセンサー。

一般的的なセンサーサイズは以下の通りです。

フルサイズ（フィルムと同じサイズ）　＞ APS–H (約 28.1×18.7mm) >　APS-C (約22.3×14.9mm ) > 3/4 (　フォーサーズ )

大きい方が綺麗な画質、高価になります。

逆に3/4サイズも小さいセンサー、カメラに高度な技術が詰っていて価格が高い傾向にあるようです。

3/4というのはフルサイズに比較して四分の三の大きさということです。

コンパクトデジカメでは 1/1.7　とか　1/2.3　とか分数で表示されます。 

一番普及しているのは APS-Cサイズのカメラなのでコストパフォーマンスも良いです。

センサーサイズについて詳しいサイト

２　動画機能

大きいセンサーでとる動画は普通のビデオカメラでは取れない映像がとれます。
パフォーマーにとって映像はとても大切です。

暗いところでもノイズが少なく明るい映像が撮れる。

背景のぼけた映画風な映像が撮れる。

美しい動画が取れることは絶対はずせない条件の一つです。

左　ビデオカメラ（HV30) 右　デジイチ（ Kiss x3 )

動画撮影の際は基本的にピントを合わせるのは手動になります。
一応オートフォーカス機能がありますがガタガタしてまだ使えません。

※注意※

ビデオカメラで撮影する場合と比べると撮影の難易度は高いです。

• ピントの調節はオートでも出来ますが圧倒的に遅いので手動が基本です。
• ぶれ補正もビデオカメラのようには効かないので三脚を使わないとひどい動画になります。
• 12-15分置きに動画撮影がデータサイズの関係上中断するのでおきっぱなしで記録できない。

あくまで作品作り、パフォーマンス動画作成に向いた動画です。子供の成長記録など、家庭で通常仕様するためのビデオカメラとしては使用できません。

３　レンズ

センサーのサイズが一緒であればその画質を決めるのはレンズといっても過言ではありません。

一眼レフカメラを買えば背景のぼけた綺麗な写真が撮れると思っている人はチョット違いますよ！！

※レンズによる写真の違いの詳しい記事をアップしました

デジタル一眼レフとコンパクトデジタルカメラの一番の違いはレンズを交換できること。入門用のデジイチでもプロ用のレンズをつければプロの写真がとれます。（腕は別として）

望遠のレンズを使えば遠くが写せるし、明るいレンズを使えば夜だって明るく撮れます。背景をぼかしたり、魚眼にしたり。レンズ次第でいろんな写真が撮れます。

広角で撮った例 18mm ( Canon EF-S レンズ 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 IS EF-S18-55IS )

望遠レンズで撮った例 171mm ( Canon EF-S レンズ 55-250mm F4-5.6 IS EF-S55-250IS )

広角の明るいレンズで撮った例　（ TAMRON SP AF 17-50mm F2.8 Model A16 キャノン用 )

明るい中望遠レンズで背景ぼかしつつ一瞬を切り撮った例 70mm F2.8 1/800 (TAMRON SP AF28-75mm F2.8 キヤノン A09 )

明るいレンズで背景をぼかした例 50mm F2.5　( Canon EFレンズ 50mm F1.8 II )

明るいレンズで撮った動画例　( Canon EFレンズ 50mm F1.8 II )

明るいズームレンズで撮った動画例　（ TAMRON SP AF 17-50mm F2.8 Model A16 キャノン用 )

【注意】しかしカメラ本体のメーカーにより使用できるレンズは決まります。

自分が使っているカメラメーカーと同じメーカーを使っている友人がいれば、手持ちのレンズを交換していつもと違う写真や動画をとることが出来ます。

つまり僕の周りにいる人はCANONのカメラを買えばお互いにレンズを交換して遊べるということです！！

もし周りに自分と同じメーカーの人がいなければ自分の持っているレンズでしか撮影できません。だけど周囲に同じメーカーの友達がいれば

今度僕が望遠買うから君は魚眼か何かに買って交換しようよ。

なんて会話ができます。
僕はキャノンの回し者ではなくてみんなで一緒にレンズ資産を共有したいのです。

あれ、同じ？

パナソニックやオリンパスのフォーサーズ系のカメラは携帯性に優れていてコンパクトデジカメより格段に良い画質です。

だけどそれを知ったらきっと普通のデジイチの画質を体験したくなり、結局大きいカメラも買って出費が増えると思うので最初にかうならAPS-Cサイズが良いと思います。特に夜の撮影が多いファイアーダンサーならば。 

周囲で良く見るのはキャノン、ニコン、ペンタックス。そのつぎにオリンパス、という感じです（あくまでポイの話）

上記のことを踏まえお勧めするのは以下のカメラです。

CANON

リンクに表示されるテキスト

Ｋｉｓｓ シリーズはイチオシ。性能で見れば上位機種と同等かそれ以上です。EOS-Mはレンズの規格が違ったりファインダーが無かったりで本格的な使用には難ｱﾘ。手軽に持ち運んでオートで撮る分には良いと思います。6Dはコストパフォーマンス最高のフルサイズ。5DMkIIIは最高峰のカメラのひとつ！

CANON 以外

以前はNikonの動画はCanonに2,3歩遅れを撮っていましたが、最近では同等まで追いついてきたようです。

レンズ

Canonならまず買うべきなのがf1.8 50mm。9000円で今までプロにしか取れないと思っていた写真が撮れます。
絶対に感動します。新しくでたパンケーキも50mmについて安く、しかも携帯性最高！画質も素晴らしいです。

これらのレンズ感動を知るとだんだんレンズがほしくなります。

1.5 Low Pirouette

1.5 ( 270 degrees ) Pirouette, Low position version.
Make another turn after Low Pirouette witout any extra circle.

After Low pirouette, if you reel the hand which toward to the direction of turn ( if you turn clockwise, it is your right hand ), it'll be more smooth.

( My turn doesn't make clean REEL on this video, sorry !)

High Pirouette

Pirouette variation with carry turn & reel turn.
This is very beautifull pierouette you must get!

High pirouette begin with BACKWARD SWING

To turn right. 

When Right poi moving TOP, Left poi movintg BOTTOM [ Left hand is REELing ] position, begin pirouette.

Left poi : Reel Turn + Carry Turn
Rightpoi : Carry Turn + Carry Turn

*That is to say, the poi which is toward to the direction of pirouette is CARRY, the opposite hand is REEL, pirouette. 

Low Pirouette

Pirouette variation with carry turn & reel turn.
This is very beautifull pierouette you must get!

Low pirouette begin with FORWARD SWING

To turn right. 

When Right poi moving BOTTOM, Left poi movintg TOP [ Left hand is REELing ] position, begin pirouette.

Left poi : Reel Turn + Carry Turn
Rightpoi : Carry Turn + Carry Turn

*That is to say, the poi which is toward to the direction of pirouette is CARRY, the opposite hand is REEL, pirouette. 

Orbital

Orbital is originaly the move of glow-sticking trick. When poi spining in high-speed, orbital is one of the most beautiful moves.

Butterfly Turn

Turn with butterfly. For butterfly move, reel turn is easier and more smooth. But, if you can make this normal turn, poi looks like going through into body.

Both poi can't transfer planes at the same time. The poi which is toward the dirction of turning, transfers firs, then the other poi transfers after harf around a circle.

4 beat thread the needle

Advanced thread the needle.

In inward TTN, your hands change position after poi cross at the "TOP". But in 4beat TTN, you wait till poi cross at the "Bottom" .
You need to wait half a circle.
*for out ward, wait till poi cross at the top.

Thread the needle

Next step of outterfly moves.
When you do butterfly, there 2 positions. Right poi top, or Left poi top. Thread the needle (TTN) is the move that you alternate these 2 positions

Begin with Inward, Right poi top

1. When your poi cross at the top, your right hand goes forward.
2. Until poi goes around a circle, right hand is on front, left hand is on behind.
3. When your poi cross again, now your left hand goes front, right hand comes behind, change the position before poi goes bottom.
4. When poi comes top,you change position again.
5. Repeat.

Poichi exercise butterfly is exactly the same move without poi. so if you have any problem, go and practice poichi exercise.
For outward TTN, practice upside down from inward.

Poichi exercise : Same direction Same time

This move is the basement of Turn moves.

This is very good for starter of the poi practice, building body balance, and turns.
Try other poi-chi exercises too.

Tips for Same Same Big circles

1. Twist your body with arms. Don't force only arms to move, use whole body.
2. Keep Plane clean and vertical. Even you turn, your arms move vertically.

Tips for Bigcircles

• Relax your shoulder muscles. Stand in balanced position.
• Always imagine the wall plane, and hands are on wall plane.
• Don't think too much about how extend arms, but make it balanced. Too much extention will injure shoulder.
• Think inner shoulder. Don't force them, set it comfortable and free position.

Poichi wall plane split butterfly

This move is the basement of split butterfly flower moves.

This is very good for starter of the poi practice, building body balance, and turns.
You can get exhaust after this practice in summer.

Tips for Split butterfly

1. Hands(poi) meet on holizontal line.
2. Hands make vertical line in front of you.

These points are 2 twice a circle, total 4 points. If you can keep this 4 points clean, you can play with split time butterfly as Nick woolsey!!?

• Relax your shoulder muscles. Stand in balanced position.
• Always imagine the wall plane, and hands are on wall plane.
• Don't think too much about how extend arms, but make it balanced. Too much extention will injure shoulder.
• Think inner shoulder. Don't force them, set it comfortable and free position.
• Alternate your right hands and left hands.

Turn

You can use this turn for poi itself.

1. Start turn after open arm position.(vertical position.)
2. At 90 degrees position, your arms point horizontal line with pararell. your body has turn 90 degrees.
3. At 180 degrees turn, your arms are open position (Vertical position) as start position on the other planne.
4. Hands meet on the horizontal line.

How to Change the length of Poi : Side plane

How to change the length of poi on side plane. After changing the length, your poi will bi on thumb side, not little finger side.

Base plane ( Right side for right poi

Longthen : Forward
Shorten : Backward

Base plane ( Right side for right poi )

Longthen : Forward
Shorten : Backward

Crossed Plane (Left side for right poi )

Longthen : Backward
Shorten : Forward

Hybrid

Extention circle vs Isolation hybrid. This is one of unit-cirlce hybrid.

Cosmo

I made this move with turn combination.
I was wondering how I call them, but before I make decision, my friends started calling it 'Cosmo'.

Cosmo is the muscot of Tsukuba Expo 1985

Isolation

The center of rotation is in the middle of Poi String. If you keep both of the center, poi becomes like a stick.

It takes at least a month to get isolation.

Vortex

Spiral wrap around arm and hand.

Basic 8 stall

Basic idea of stalls.

Waist wrap and Neck wrap

Combination between hipmills, or shoulder mills

Before you try waist wrap, you should get hipmills and shoulder mills.

One Handed Butterfly

Hold pois in a hand and do butterfly!!

1.5 beat weave and 3.5 beat weave

1.5 beat weave and 3.5 beat weave

Big Circle Pirouette

ビッグサークルピルエットの基本の動きです。

※やりすぎると肩を痛めます気をつけてください。
※腕は伸ばしきらず、若干ひじを曲げ、肩に余裕を持たせてください。

Tips for Stall

Try to draw curve like inverse proportion graph.

Hipmill and Shouldermill

Combination of the basic spining on Wall plane.

Fountain

Forward weave > Backward weave > Windmill > Forward wave....

5 Beat Weave

Spining poi 5 times on each side, is "5beat weave". Twisting your arms and add extra beats on 3 beatweave.

Buzz Saw

Hold poi little bit shorter, and spin in middle of your arms.

Pendulum Stall

The stall from pendullum. This is good practice for stalls, and you can even use this stall for your performance.

1. Make pendullum with poi
2. When poi head comes to top, your hand moves to top of poi head.
3. Try to isolate poi head when your hand moves.
4. If your poi doesn't stop, follow poi with body to keep the line straight.

Reel Turn

You don't see poi during turn. You use "reel" for this turn, so this is called as REEL TURN.

   5. Spin POI back to the right side when poi comes up.
   6. Back to 3

Practice hands

   1. Bigin with backward 2 beat weave.
   2. Focus on the bottom arm. Find the timing when the bottom arm goes throw over the other arm.
   3. Onece your bottom poi go throw over the other arm, 2 beat weave becomes bottom side top.
   4. Do the same with the other top hand.

Corkscrew

Basic move of horizontal plane. try both direction clockwise, counterclockwise.

Butterfly

Right poi or left poi is slightly over the othe poi. So you should practice both version. R top, or L top

Hands can connect in the middle of your body, but don't cross them. Yes you can cross arms and do buttefly, but it is very much hard.

8 antispin linear isolation

Basic 8 linear isolation.

There are so many ways to do "Linear Isolation" but I show one of basic ideas of them for this lesson.

*Linear Isolation on the cross in a plane.
*Handle linear Isolation.
*From 4 petals antispoin flower.

You can make C.A.P combinations with this basic linear isolation. C.A.P.( L )
For this conditon, there are 8 variations which you should practice.

Forward ( Direction A )

1. Top to Bottom linear isolation.
2. Right to Left linear isolation.
3. Bottom to Top linear isolation.
4. Left to Right linear isolation.

Backward ( Direction B )

1. Top to Bottom linear isolation.
2. Right to Left linear isolation.
3. Bottom to Top linear isolation.
4. Left to Right linear isolation.

※Try them on side plane, wall plane, horizontal plane.

Let's see Clockwise, rightside hipmill this lesson.
You can call this move "forward hip mill". Because if you twist your body to right side, it'll be forward spin on the side plane.

How to make poi

Make your own poi to play with!

Hipmill

Let's see Clockwise, rightside hipmill this lesson.
You can call this move "forward hip mill". Because if you twist your body to right side, it'll be forward spin on the side plane.

Practice one by one

1. Place your righht hand on left shoulder.
2. Spin your left poi under the right arm, make 2 beat spin on front and btb.
   Make sure you keep plane nice and vertical. If you feel uncomfortable, you can twist body little bit.
   
3. Practice right hand low reel
4. Spin both hand togather. Make sure the crossed poi (left poi which comes cross from the other side of body) is always under the other poi.

! This move is 2 beat. The crossed poi is always under. If it's over the other poi, you should spin as "Shoulder mill" not hip mill.

Poichi wall plane butterfly

This move is the basement of butterfly flower moves.

This is very good for starter of the poi practice, building body balance, and turns.
You can get exhaust after this practice in summer.

• Relax your shoulder muscles. Stand in balanced position.
• Always imagine the wall plane, and hands are on wall plane.
• Don't think too much about how extend arms, but make it balanced. Too much extention will injure shoulder.
• Think inner shoulder. Don't force them, set it comfortable and free position.
• Alternate your right hands and left hands.

Turn

You can use this turn for poi itself.

From inward to outward.

1. Start turn after open arm position.
2. At 90 degrees position, your arms at the top, with pararell.
3. At 180 degrees turn, your arms are open position as start position.
4. Hands meet at the bottom, you are now spining inward butterfly.

From outward to inward.

1. Start turn after open arm position.
2. At 90 degrees position, your arms at the bottom, with pararell.
3. At 180 degrees turn, your arms are open position as start position.
4. Hands meet at the top, you are now spining outard butterfly.

2beatweave

1. サイド面でスプリットタイムを保ちます。
2. .左ポイが下、右ポイがトップに来たら右ポイを、体の正面を斜めに通し左側面　へ移動させます。
3. .右ポイが左側面にきたら、丁度左ポイが左面トップの位置にきます。2での右　手と同様に体の正面を斜めに通し右側面へ移動させます。
4. 左ポイが右側面にきたら再び右ポイが丁度左側面トップにきているはずです　。3と同様に右へ移動です。
5. 今度は左ポイがトップに来ているので左側面へ移動開始です。
6. 左ポイが移動を終えると2の状態になっているのであとは繰り返しです。

※体の前で手は綺麗な∞を描くようにすると綺麗になります。
※常に（移動時以外）面上をポイが回転するよう意識しましょう。
※スプリットタイムを保てば横から見た際にポイが一本の棒のように見えます。
※コレは左ポイ先行型の2ビートウィーブです。上記の「左」「右」を入れ替えて呼んでもらうと右ポイ先行型の2ビートウィーブになります。両方できるようにしましょう。
※コレはフォワードです。バックワードは上下逆さまになります。すなわ　ち「上、トップ」と「下」を入れ替えて読めばバックワード2ビートができます。

Transfer on side planes and cross.

サイド面での手の返し方です。

回転方向が前回し（フォワード）の時ポイが上から下に来るときに移動させます。
後ろ回し（バックワード）の時はポイが下から上に来るときに移動させます。

手首をやわらかく返し、体の正面で∞の時を描きます。ポイが交差する点が常に正面にあると安定します。

Carry Turn

Forward to backward

1. step back your leg which is the direction you want to turn.
2. Whne poi comes down from top, throw both poi beside the leg you step back.
3. Turn 180 degrees.
4. Pull pois up, now you spin backward.

Backward to forward

1. step back your leg which is the direction you want to turn.
2. When poi comes up from bottom, throw both poi over beside the sholder which is the direction you trun.
3. Turn 180 degrees.
4. Pull pois down, now you spin forward.

後ろ回しから前回し

1. ターンしたい方向の足を引きます。
2. ポイが下から上に来るときに、ターンする側の肩の斜め上横にポイを両方とも通します。
3. そのまま回れ右（or左)をします
4. ポイを前方に下ろすと前回しになっています。

Forwardspin, Backwardspin

Spin poi as skipping rope. Make planes on each side of your body. Try to spin poi on those pararell plane.

When both poi spining togather, the rhythm is called 'Intime'. Spining in 180 difference rhythm is called 'Splittime'.

Antispin FLower

One of the most beautiful moves of poi. Japanese call it Clover when you make 4 petals.

Cat Eye

meeow! meeow! This is very tricky cat.
