POLL: Thinking of reviewing my collection, opinions?

Yo-Yo Reviews
1

I have been thinking of creating reviews for each of my YoYos, as I I would like to think I have some unique ones. Can’t find much info on more than half of the ones I have, so I think it may be helpful to the community.

My question, that I guess I’ll make a poll for is this:

What kind of reviews should I do? Text or video?

I’ve kinda always wanted to run some kind of YouTube channel, just because I watch so much of it really lol, but I don’t have any experience script writing, b roll filming, film editing, etc. I also don’t know a whole lot of interesting tricks to demo while I would read the script talking about the YoYo, but I think I have a basic trick set to run each through to evaluate how they perform to my amateur expectations and experience.

Alternatively, I could write about them, with pictures and specs and all that. Obviously, much more comfortable and less time consuming.

So, friends, what would you prefer: amateur videos or long winded text?

I voted video but that is so much more work. I think you’ll get more eyes on the content though.

Do you have a list of what’s in the collection?

Bro if you want I can help teach you a bit about how to film and edit a video if you don’t have much experience, I’m no expert by any means but I can help get the job done haha. Also I think it could be cool to run some tests like how easy is it for certain yoyos to do rejections or like how fast could you do rail combos and such. I think it’d be pretty cool to see since you have such a massive collection!
