The Chief | Documentary

Super proud to finally be able to say this

The Chief Documentary is done, at long last! After nearly two years of work, it’s my magnum opus and the single longest video on my channel.

This video explores the lead up to the chief, organizes all the chiefs into their runs with their weights (to the best of my ability), and explores the design legacy of the chief. I hope you guys enjoy.

Well, I don’t know if that word can actually describe all the development, script, execution and PERFECTION in the story of one of the most typically common yoyos; Fantastic. Keep going like this. You will arrive where you would never have imagined being, in view of the world stage.

A Professor once told me(about 50 years ago, ‘There is no such thing as too much good information’.

Just based on a number of likes, you’re getting, there seems to be a little doubt, how impressive your presentation based on your efforts and research, has impressed everyone.

I could think of a lot of complementary things to say. But after reading through the replies, you’ve gotten up to this point, there’s nothing that I can really say besides, just trying to come up with something more impressive or complementary then what others have already said.

But since It is pointless to try to come up with some incredible explanation as to how awesome your video is, I would just like to say that everything everybody has said positive about your video, I certainly couldn’t have said it better.

When a video turns out so well, I think it’s just natural for the average viewer to look for little things maybe they didn’t like just to see if they could find them.

For example, I really like the video, but it was too long. Or I really liked the video but it was too short. Or you didn’t talk about the mystery release that I heard of in a dream.Or, you missed a color way. Or, In the fifth release, you were off 1/10 of a gram blah blah blah.

But when a video comes out so darn good, it’s pointless to try to think of anything you could’ve done better

I don’t think you could’ve done anything better.

The quality of your presentation is irrefutable.

It’s not just a video… It’s an achievement.

Thanks…

And just like any good movie, I look forward to watching it again. And I think if I watched it five times, that each time, I’d catch a little something as your information sinks in.

Amazing! I just posted a news article on The Yoyo Archive about this.

With your permission, can I embed the video into the Chief entry when I get CLYW throws in the system?

What a great video !!!
It’s particularly on point with me beings as though I own 50 of them… (Link Attached)
I always thought that I had the majority of the colorways made, but after watching your video I realize there are many I don’t have. I’m grateful to both Andre and Chris for assisting me with building my collection.
It’s an absolutely awesome YoYo.
There will come a day when it will be time to put them back in circulation, but not yet.
Anyway, great work on the video !! :+1:

So, @Albertino and I are going to bookend your post as two players that haven’t even held a Chief. That needs to change obviously. For me, I have been seeking out a solid and they don’t seem to come up often here on the BST.

That collection is insane, congratulations! Wow! Do you display them in your space in any particular way? That would be fun to see.

Chief and Peak, never tried them and never seen them in real life, even if the design is “outdated” I would love to play one just to taste the legend
