The definite pros to this movie are I like the variety of moves and I think the filter you filmed through is really cool. One little nit pic I have is that it seemed a tad bit messy not as much presision I think but like I said I liked the wide array of moves

Great first video! Cool music, cool filter, good variety.

The problem with creating new fan/spread flourishes is that there seem to be very limited ways of getting nice even fans or spreads in the hands. Most new fanning techniques I see videos of just doesn't look good, and I suspect that most of the time it's not because the people who made them hasn't taken the time to perfect their technique, it's because the technique just won't produce a good-looking fan/spread.

As a tip to you, you could try adding small armspreads within cuts as they are pretty much the same everywhere and easy to reproduce once you learn them. Doesn't have to be full armlength, since it'll look better if you can close it in a cool way as part of the cut as well.

Btw, is your name Martin?
