Sector Y v2.0

A hastily thrown together video of MoYo 2010. Sorry guys, but I don’t have as much time as I’d like to put together a proper clip vid for MoYo, so I threw this together in a couple hours. It was also an excuse for me to play around with some extreme contrast and color saturation.

This was a combination of the Nationals 2001 contest video as well as the second PSY trailer. It featured not only footage from the 2001 National Yo-Yo Contest, but also various clips sent in from around the world. I believe this video was the internet-debut of Arthur Staykov, one of the B3 members from Poland.

Looking back at the video, we start to see the emergent trend of faster tricks as well as more complex string tricks. By 2003, these trends eventually led to a new renaissance in 1A where more emphasis was placed on getting as many string-hits into a single combo as possible. This is one of the last glimpses of the 1A of yesteryear. Aside from the PSY/String Theory DVD, this was one of the last videos I released publicly on the old Sector Y.

This was an incredibly fun video to shoot and edit. I only had a rough idea of what I wanted, so all of the shots and transitions were talked about once we got to each location. It was a very linear run-and-gun way of shooting and it really took me back to the way I used to shoot my videos. I forgot how much fun that was and I loved it :)

The original Sector Y website launched October 15th, 1999. It’s been a full decade since then. Over the past 10 years, yoyoing has evolved farther than anyone could have imagined. Contained inside every modern combo or trick are traces of the tricks from yesteryear. We have come a long way in the past decade. It’s time to sit back and reflect over the past 10 years, and think about what the next 10 years holds for us.

This video is dedicated to all players who have helped advance this hobby in one way or another.
