First, the technical: The video is in Real G2 format. In my opinion, good video of high-action video over the internet needs about 100 times the bandwidth that today's technology delivers. So, the producer must compromise. I chose to encode at 128Kb, the speed of my uplink, and optimize for sharpness. The result is a jerky video, more like a rapid series of still shots. The second point is that the video files are not on the main server, but on a secondary server that may not be available 24 hours a day. Best time is 8am to 11pm Pacific time.
Now for the show: these clips are all, except for Tiffany Chin, from the final show of 1999.
The opening number is a combination of skating, dancing and gymnastics. Everyone in the cast has a moment of their own. This is also the longest of the show, about 6 minutes, and the file is 3.65MB.
Next is a skating solo with either Eric Millot or Tiffany Chin.
The pygmy dance is third.This dance, although probably designed to entertain the kids in the Sea World audience, has everyone chuckling. The gymnasts got a chance to clown around. Then on stage, watch when the skirts are raised! Finally, dancing.
Next, adagio skating with either Frank Sweiding and Anita Hartshorn, or Tony Paul and Terry Pagano. I apologize that I don't have Tony and Terry's video yet.
Following the adagio, Irina Gregorian skillfully performs a very unusual skating solo.
Nest it's time for the gymnasts to take the spotlight. You will see a little bit of everything gymnastic packed into 4 1/4 minutes, including rhythmic gymnastics, pummel, floor exercises, trampoline....and a neat bit of juggling on skates, too.
The finale gets everyone on stage again for a 2-minute ending.
