UPLOADING YOUR VIDEO
Please don't upload your videos early! If you do, be sure to set it to private so no one can see them prior to the deadline. Or better yet, wait until the day before deadline...
TIPS
What we are looking for is a complete performance video! We are looking for you to dress the part, and perform TO THE MUSIC! Use the music as accents to your XCM, match it up. You dress, attitude and XCM should blend with the music to make 1 entertaining routine. Some people will try to reverse engineer the music to match the video you take and that is NOT what we are looking for. If it looks like you cut the music to match your performance, then you'll be docked points. Pick a song, and work your routine to it. Use body movements and clothing/props to enhance the overall performance. Performing real XCM for real people takes a complete show, and this is what Handlordz has always tried to push to our members. This is just one more way we are helping you to prepare for the real world. This is a complete freestyle performance - so use any moves that you wish, but know that you will still be judged based on the main requirements.
