Thanks for the rear angle. Much easier than looking over my shoulder trying to follow the monitor to refresh my memory.

Was this video taken in Alfred Sutton school Reading?

How come his left hip is tense, has he injured it recently?

+Pete West I don't see it. Also, Chen is just about 70 years old - in amazing condition for his age. As one ages, the joints lose some flexibility.

+jsphotos Easiest to see from the rear view at the beginning, Start with the shoulders, the left is noticeably higher than the right. Scan down from the left shoulder, his torso angles slightly to his right, with his weight shifted over the left foot. All of this stems from the left hip not relaxing as well as the right. He was more balance a few years ago. I just wanted to know if the change was a result of injury, or as you claimed, because of ageing. No offence intended.

+Pete West No offense taken. Check out the angle of the camera; it's slightly up and to Chen's left; also, look at the background contrast for each shoulder - it's a black background for the left shoulder, and a white background for the right shoulder. What you're perceiving is a perceptual distortion caused by those visual elements. It's too bad they didn't angle the camera *directly* behind Chen at ground floor level. That would have taken away from the partial side view that the original chosen angles are, but would have been more faithful to Chen's symmetry.

@@petewest3122 U mean around 0:56? I think he got an accident injury to his knee quite a while ago. I also think its due to the camera.
