Khan and Isa found this contest where people photoshopped the image of Spiral and I on the playa. WTF?! This is awesome, and totally confusing. People put some serious time into this and I have no idea who they are. Gotta love the internet. The original photo is by our friend Barry J Holmes. Follow [...]

Catching Up With Life
Life has been insane. I’m finally starting to feel as if I am leading my life again rather than my life leading me. It’s good to take control and with that I’m recommitting myself to Isopop.com. I have a back log of stories and inspiration that I want to share. In the last 6 weeks [...]
Animated Diagrams for Hoop Technique
I’m all excited. I just learned a new skill. I can now draw animated diagrams for future Isopop posts and primarily for the DVD. You can learn more about creating animations in Photoshop: here. We had wanted to incorporate moving diagrams since the inception of the project. I had been imagining dry illustrator type graphics [...]
Hoop Technique – Burn – video
Late one night at the Flow Toys space, Spiral and I decided to take a break from shooting the Hoop Technique DVD and jam out. The dance floor has amazing lighting that transforms the space in an instant and was even more dramatic on the enormous backdrop we had setup. We kept the cameras rolling. [...]
Scarlet Harlot, Fire Shoot
Scarlet Harlot, Fire Shoot from Robb Pope on Vimeo. This is some footage shot and edited by our friend Robb Pope, of Dijjital Productions. Robb will be editing the Hoop Technique DVD for Spiral and I. I’m actually upstairs in Spiral’s room right now while she’s downstairs in the Flow Toys dance studio rehearsing lines. [...]
53 – Sidecar, Brecken Demo for Hoop Technique
Last night Spiral, Lauren and I headed over to Brecken’s new place at the Vulcan to video her demo footage for the Hoop technique DVD. Brecken is loving the Vulcan so far and the place seems to fit her well. She has put a lot of work into polishing up her private space, even installing [...]
Bishop – Windstyle
Spiral introduced me to this video the other night while we were taking a break from scripting the Hoop Technique DVD (which is an incredible amount of work BTW). This is stolen right from her favorites. This guy is amazing. He moves in such a strange, almost alien-like way and the style is so original. [...]

3d Stop Motion Camera
Last Wednesday, Spiral and I had a thrilling opportunity. We got to shoot video footage with a 3d stop motion camera. This is essentially the same setup used for the Matrix when Trinity jumps in the air, freezing in position while the camera rotates around. We’re very excited and curious to see what the footage [...]
Hoop Technique DVD!!! Making of & Screenshots
It has now been officially announced and I am stoked! Spiral and I are making an instructional DVD together. I could not be happier with who I am working with. I have such a deep admiration for Spiral’s skills as a performer, technician, and instructor. All modesty aside, this will be a groundbreaking project. This [...]
