This looks very fun. Been away for a good while but have a number of loop stuff I've wanted to film for a long time (underappreciated category) and am a new S7 owner regarding smartphones being OK to use.
A few
questions I'm unsure where to ask(?):
1. We are to show singular tricks? Or combos (with loop some stuff is combos leading into single picture tricks for instance)? Cool to show many tricks in a single tutorial (the competition is fun and prizes are extra motivation but I basically want to share the only thing I've somewhat kept up on the past years. Follow up question to that are these later publically listen on Youtube or website only)? Can it be a "category of tricks" crammed into a tutorial (limit of 3 á 15 minutes is not very long) or would that not be in depth enough?
2. Does it matter if the tricks/combos are dependant on certain props (have a few which pretty much requires short axles, bearings etc only to work)? Does it matter if they "require" gloves (they kind of don't but it would suck not having) and if so does it also need to show how to make them ("anything else you think might help someone learn this trick") or can that just be explained quickly audio only?
3. Among "extra things to film, extra drills or skills" would that include yoyo tricks etc as well as separate tricks (wouldn't know what to do to not bloat any clip endlessly in this case) or acceptable to just refer people to "check youtube" for those? Some movements are "prerequisite" or whatever the apt English word is.
4. Is there a suggested difficulty? The advanced section for loop on that website just shows, in my mind no offense to those jugglers, very basic stuff and the basic section already fails to include descriptions on knots etc? OK to provide additional videos as addendums to competition submissions for that later on (once it's finished or whenever)?
5. Regarding setting up the camera would it be fine if it differs for loop (giving 1-2 m above the head, ground in front of you and filming from so far away would probably make it a bit hard to see for this category. Some tricks are dependant on knot position)? Is location important (inside VS outside)?
6. Do I need to provide subtitles if my English is crap (it is but idk how to edit properly and add subs) or is heavy accent English fine? Do the edits need to be nice looking in any way or OK to just cut to black/next trick? Can the tricks be run at a decent speed and then would text be enough to explain (slowing down videos is not too hard)?
^I think that's it...sorry.
