"The Beauty of a Second"

[Lucas Garron]

The Beauty of a Second is a project that allows people to submit one-second clips that will be compiled.

One of the deadlines (the second of three "flights") is today. I was considering submitting a cubing clip, but there are some of you out there who have better cameras and better clips. I think we should find a high-quality clip that we can submit to represent cubing in this project.

Anybody have some footage they think would be good to upload?
(fazdad?)

 

[Enter]

Yes I have but it is two seconds long

Breandan doing a Sune? He could do 3!

 

[Godmil]

yeah a sub-1 y-perm or something would be brilliant.

Do it?

Breandan doing a Sune? He could do 3!

I vote for this as well.

.4 for the viewer to see what it is, .2 for the sune, .4 to recognize that it's solved.

 

[Erik]

Yeah I could send in the first part of Breandan's sune lately.

They're going to think that he's only doing a couple moves though.

 

[AgentKuo]

Didn't they just make a movie exactly like this?

Ah, no, it wasn't. It was this that I was thinking of.

They're going to think that he's only doing a couple moves though.

It's quite difficult to make visible moves in a second.

 

[TheMachanga]

I'll suggest the last half second of a WR 3x3 solve, then the "OOHHHH!" and some cheering after, while the competitor does a fist pump or gets up, and you can see the time on the display. Preferably a faz video.


lol, Kanye West apparently donated only $2

@ the PLL suggestion: To non-cubers, PLLs don't look like they do much.

Perhaps a high TPS OLL with lots of moves would look nice (the cube will be solved afterwards, of course).
It would look even better if the OLL solved a nicely scrambled LL. (ie. an OLL that orients some edges and corners, rather than a sune that twists just a few corners)

I think the 0.69 2x2 world record would work. Is it a strict 1s, or could it be like 1.5 to show what it is and a small reaction

 

[TheMachanga]

People wouldn't understand what happened for the 2x2 one, and Breandon sune one will be even more confusing, and because it's at home, low quality and just not a good idea.

 

[Phlippieskezer]

The 2x2x2 WR single is pretty stupid, and probably will fail to impress.
I think the end of a really fast 3x3x3 solve would probably the best. (Or maybe someone doing a really fast OLL or the sort, as Zane_C suggested)

 

[AustinReed]

:29

People can see what it is. Good reaction. Time included.

 

[Mal]

I think what Zane said is good

 

[Cuberty]

Everybody send in a fraction of Felik Zamdegs' solve. Combine it and we have a 5.66 solve in 6 parts.

 

[Cubenovice]

ehm... video submission stopped quite a few days ago...
