> [@Anthony\_Frandi](#): > > I might not be good at telling a story or yoyo, but I’ll definitely do my best I actually kind of sat down this evening and kind of wrote out what exactly do I want to tell…going back to when we would write an outline for an essay back in school. While I’m not going to go as far as drawing out my storyboard, I began writing down things I want to include (shots) and began experimenting with some shots (and dinging my beloved H3X in the long run). I more or less kind of have things scripted out and actually have a lot of footage from the past month that’s been unused that will be put to use. Yes, I’m excited about this, couldn’t resist getting a jump start. On the flipside…recording narration is not my forte, I already hate hearing myself talk in a recording as I drive myself insane hearing me talk 🙂 ---

> [@seanthegiraffe](#): > > Is there a specific title we must have for our video? Just title it so it’s fairly clear that it’s been made for this contest. I did have added rules about banners and stuff but I decided not to over complicate things. A title could be: YoYoExpert ‘Why do YOU Yo-Yo?’ Contest - (whatever you want. Your name or username maybe?) As long as it’s clear you’re not just recycling an old video, then you’re good. :wink: > [@AngryGumball](#): > > I’m excited about this, couldn’t resist getting a jump start. On the flipside…recording narration is not my forte, I already hate hearing myself talk in a recording as I drive myself insane hearing me talk 🙂 I admire your dedication sir! Don’t worry, I don’t think anyone likes the sound of their own voice. I’m pretty fed up of the sight of my own face as well after all that editing. 😛 Great to see so many people already getting stuck in! Good job one and all. ;D ---

Just to respond here to a few questions I’ve received: > [@](#): > > For the contest, can I use some clips from some of my old videos? You sure can, as long as they are indeed of yourself. 🙂 > [@](#): > > what caption for youtube video I will make? In order to save confusion, I’ll just lay this down as a rule for everyone. Your video title should be: YoYoExpert ‘Why do YOU Yo-Yo?’ Contest - (YYE username or name) If you’re actually talking about the caption itself and not the title, it can pretty much say whatever you want, or nothing at all. You won’t be judged on the caption of your video. > [@](#): > > do I have to include yye logo? It is not mandatory, no. Still, feel free to give Andre some free publicity if you wish. :wink: Shoutout to Seanthegiraffe for being the first to get his video in! I look forward to watching it when I get home from work. ;D ---
