After practicing these effects for weeks, I finally performed it live today. I must tell you, the
reactions were really great! (That's the very reason why I had to rate it higher than I initially
thought)
I wanted to give it a 3-star review after my initial impressions but I am happy that I
took my time to review this after I was good enough for a live performance.
The hook-ups are
easy and flows well with some of the recent effects from Dr. Cyril Thomas.
Here are my main
points-
PROS:
1) The tricks are very visual. The penetration effects almost fool
me every time.
2) The hook-ups are easy enough for beginners (needs practice for live
performances).
3) Explanations are good and easy to follow.
CONS:
1)
The video doesn't go into much detail when it comes to performing live. Needs motivation for the
hook-ups to be done live. Beginners might struggle to figure this part out (took me a while not
gonna lie).
2) Video quality is average but there is a lot of background noise. The audio
quality could have been better.
3) Some effects from the last video seem rushed. It would
have helped if the video quality for those effects were at par with the other main effects.
4) Although the videos follow a sequential order it would have helped if the hook-up videos were
labeled differently from the effects.
CONCLUSION:
If you are familiar with
the kind of effects published by the likes of Dr. Cyril Thomas and Baconfire, this one is A MUST
BUY!
BUT if you consider yourself to be a BEGINNER and are not very familiar with rubber
band effects, I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THAT YOU SHOULD GET THIS unless you just want some SOCIAL MEDIA
VISUALS or are actually ready for WEEKS AND WEEKS OF PRACTICE to get it right, LIVE.
So the
decision is very subjective here.
That's all I had for this project. This has surprisingly
become one of my favorites.
