So I’ve been throwing for just over 3 months now and I finally had the guts to shoot my first little video, I know the lighting isn’t great but I’d love to know what you guys think of t-virus so any comments would be appreciated (try and be kind and keep the criticism constructive though because I’m stupidly paranoid about my throwing) Thanks guys and happy (although a bit short) viewing! 🙂 [![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/2/3/0/23066ecbdefced746b4ea55f82779eb1e9af3a9c.jpeg "T-virus Intermediate YoYo Trick") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hVPs2hQzkF4) ---

the trick was hard to watch because of the lighting. usually the best results come from white or yellow or green string on a black shirt with the light source above the camera. the trick was good. simple for an advanced player, but good for someone so new to the game ---

A good fix to your indoor lighting situation i have done myself was if you have table lights is to remove the lamp shades and use the lighting from that. Increased lighting galore 🙂 ---

Thanks for the lighting advice guys. I will try and reshoot the video (possibly as a tutorial) when I get 5 minutes without the kids about.
