Foreward: My 50 was a good time for me, my 200 time I have actually beat in practice from a push. Criticism on my 50, starts and turns would probably be most beneficial to me, but I am interested to get feedback on some race pace video. These videos are from the DAM SCM meet yesterday.
My times are annotated in the video, but here they are for reference.
50: 27.71
200: 33.48/36.18/36.78/33.77 1:09.66/1:10.55 2:20.21

I love the 50 advice. Just go faster.
That's my advice for the 50. :) That and explode off the blocks. You need to start cranking some AFAP 25s to get that turnover going turbo. It does look somewhat slow mo. Need a monster kick too. Crank the caffeine and get mean!
On the 200, I didn't see much kick until the last 25! The legs were mostly floating behind you for balance ... It looked to me like you were also turtling your turns some, you know, floating into them. But, I agree with the others that technically your stroke looks very nice and relaxed.
