First of all, thanks for your quick reply! And now we're off into the realm of the subjective, but I don't think that automatically means talking drivel.
When I see this short film (never seen it before), then it makes my body go just a little tingly. He's doing the movements very much in a "nothing to see here, folks, now move along" way. But just in the way his arms move, so sinuous, smooth, light but also heavy, and something in his body resonating, I still get a sense of deep power and connection. My mirror neurons (if they indeed exist) are going "yeah!". On the other hand, my viewing and response are contaminated as an 'experiment': I've already seen this guy (famous master) before doing other stuff (which impressed me big time) and I know his name and status.
So there you are. I can't say any more without starting to waffle.
Do not make the mistake of giving up the near in order to seek the far.

No time
It takes exactly the same time to film you as them

I mean you could just stand with them as they do it, Richard Simmons style, instead of holding the camera.

If you don't want to show your face, don't. You can just say that. You don't have to make excuses that people are just going to make you defend. .

Can you tell what Feng doing in this video besides waving his arms?

I don’t think that FZQ did an especially great job of hiding anything here. Agree w Gilles, it’s easy to relate to what’s going on inside his body by the look of it.

Not a fan of Chen style. But this is way better. I was gonna respond like you usually do and just say real recognize real, but I didn't wanna be mean.

Edit: embedding didn't work

I like Chen Zhenglei, he is one of very few Chen stylists I have watched who doesn't just show external movements.

But to be fair, FZQ just showed some basic exercises.

Still better than the Yang and Wu wuxia warriors that are unable to show anything even externally.
