Yes, that is a good angle; however it could be better. IMO the camera needs to be moved closer to the solver, so that it shows more of the F face. Basically try to show an equal amount of the R, U, and F faces. Keep in mind that the R face gets obscured by the hand during solving, so try to angle the camera to minimize this.

So almost first person view but not exactly first person view? Like this but a little less shaky, cube more in camera angle, and a little to the right?

Thats what I understood, maybe a parrot cam?(Camera attached to right shoulder)

IMO 1st person view isn't the best with cubing videos, although this could be because I'm looking at it from a reconstruction perspective. Even when I'm just watching, rather than reconstructing, I prefer OTRS (over the right shoulder) just because it shows more of the cube.

Random people. One website X OLL case 1 is OLL case 2 on website Y.

[Who was it who] named the PLLs?

I'm pretty sure it was Jessica Fridrich.

Is this a good camera angle?

Spoiler: Video

And if not, how could I improve it. And also, is the quality good enough when you put it on HD or should I work on improving it?

Yeah, the angle is great, and the quality is very good, but it sort of looks like your camera is underwater at the end. Everything becomes wobbly all of sudden. Other than that, its a great video, you've got a new subscriber!

Edit: I hate it when the link takes you two pages behind the current page! Does anyone else have this happen?!?

Why does the rubik's magic only have one scrambled state? Is there a competition where people solve truly "scrambled" magics?

Not officialy. (And Magic will not be official next year either)

Does anyone know an alg to swap 2 diagonal centres on a 4x4x4 supercube leaving everything else unchanged?

I was actually asking almost exactly the same question in my 1st post on the forum and apparently it never got answered entirely (it didn't get asked very well either).

 

[Ickathu]

Not possible to swap only 2 pieces.

Spoiler: Videos

This might help you.

(and another link, but I can't link more than one per post. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GDBIOd6wF9U&feature=plcp )

Shengshou 8x8 Stickers?

Does anyone know where I might be able to get a set of Shengshou 8x8 stickers? I bought a white cube which came with white stickers on one side, instead of black, and the cube did not come with an extra set of stickers. I'd really like to replace the white with black. I just don't think the white on white looks very good.

Thanks very much.
