Enjoy!

omg so good! I love how you end with the same clip that you started with. reallllly nice.

do you film yourself?

Thanks man! ;D

Yep, just a DLSR and a tripod. Makes things more difficult because getting shots in focus can sometimes be a nightmare with such narrow depth of field, so if there’s anyone around to help me focus a shot then I might ask them if they can help out, but this one was a strictly solo deal.

I’ve tried filming on a DSLR and my “nifty fifty” (50mm) lens. It is difficult to set up the shot and get things in focus, lot of trial and error until you hit that sweet spot, the results can be stunning and definitely give a certain look you can’t get on a phone or Gopro.

The multi angle stuff, do you set up more than 1 camera or do you splice together multiple takes of the same trick from different angles?

Cool stuff, now that it’s becoming lighter out later, I should pull out my DSLR and start filming some stuff I’ve picked up on over the past few months.

Loved that under-leg bind at :57. This is a really great video. Nicely done!

Very well done video as always Gambit, love it! You just earned yourself a repost on instagram ;D

So great. You’re batting 100 on full-length videos so far.

Love seeing that signature trick of yours making a reappearance. You know the one…the one I still haven’t learned yet…

So good

This is more like a meditation… I really enjoy your filming style and how everything flows well.

Same question…also…for how long have you been yoyoing sir gambit??
And did you add the sound effects later or does your garden actually sound like peace

1. I only have one camera so I set it up and film each trick from different angles, then splice them together at the end.

2. I’ve been yoyoing about 3 years. I don’t really think I’m as decent as I should be considering that’s how long I’ve been throwing, haha. I really should practice more, it’s just finding the time…

3. Nope, those are the actual sounds. It’s actually my friend’s garden, I chose it because it’s so peaceful. My garden just sounds like cars, airplanes and the occasional police siren.

Thanks so much for all the kind words guys!

That was beyond-awesome of you to do man, I was shocked when I saw it! Thank you so so much! I woke up this morning with like 50 more followers (1000 here we come…)!

I know I already owe you guys like 10 rounds of drinks… but some day I’m heading over to YYE HQ and personally shaking all of your hands (/hugging for those more tactile staff members) for everything you guys have done for me. It is all very much appreciated. ;D

Just keep making awesome videos man, that’s thanks enough! Oh, and the rounds of drinks… I’ll take those!

I’ve said this before, and I’ll say it again. Cheer up! You said it’s because if you did you’d look like a madman. So you should do a video with your fastest most insane stuff whilst grinning like a madman. (And an overdramatic evil witch laugh)

Anyways, great video, I really loved that weird GT where you bring the string around it and a rejects and then it slacks down and… And… You get it.

Incredibly well done video. Rich with interesting tricks and paced perfectly.

Beautiful video Gambit!! Always a pleasure to watch your stuff…

I need to start an Instagram just to follow you… Cant wait to see what’s next!

Also the degree of slow-mo you’ve used is super awesome…im practically tired of seeing vids where the yoyo moves in jagged directions as if it’s executing brownian motion … this one was a breath of fresh air…im going to download it and learn all those neat flow-y tricks of yours(promises to himself)

P.S.-i agree with Fuzzwad…look like a madman , but keep your tricks flow-y and kinda calm…that way you’ll look like a calm madman…more or less like a cold blooded killer…spookkyyy…hehe(forgive my wry sense of humour)
