CLYW Presents: Bay Area Comrades

December 25, 2014 By Steve Brown

Charles Haycock traveled out to the 2014 Bay Area Classic with the intention of hanging out with some friends and filming a little for a video. What happened was much, much more than that, and he ended up with a 20-minute concept video that includes Jensen Kimmitt, Ernest Kahn, Elliot Jackson, Aaron Bendich, Daniel Flaherty, Matthew Fernandez, and Kieran Cooper.

Ernest Kahn and Matt Fernandez steal the show with two of the best yoyo video parts I’ve ever seen, like, EVER. Make yourself a sandwich, grab a beverage, and get settled in for Bay Area Comrades.

The BAC Experience (NSFW)

June 5, 2013 By Gabriel Lozano

This video is recommended for audiences 18 years and older.

Youtube version here.

Because it is my regional contest, The Bay Area Classic is dear to my heart. Currently held in San Francisco, CA, the BAC always manages to bring together many of the world’s greatest players.

Since I personally never compete, I am always a spectator on the sidelines. I don’t mind this. In fact, I embrace it. Very rarely do you see me without my trusty camera. Since 1998, I have shot video at pretty much every yoyo event I’ve gone to. Some people have said that my work has documented the growth and change of yoyoing over the past 15 years. While I don’t feel I’m worthy of such high praise, I do feel that my videos have made a large impact in the yoyo community. That is why when the BAC committee asked me if I was willing to help shoot freestyles for the event, I gladly accepted. This acceptance, however, came with a downside.

This year, BAC ran freestyles throughout the day (as opposed to the end of the day). While this made everything run much smoother, it meant that I was unable to film tricks for a clip video since I would be busy with freestyles all day. I was pretty bummed, as I really enjoy making clip videos. So, to get my “documenting fix” in, I decided to shoot photographs and maybe hope that I could grab some good video footage at the Official BAC BBQ on Sunday.

My initial video plan was to make a video that showed people hanging out at the BAC BBQ. I wanted to make a sequel to last year’s BAC video, but this time focus on the players themselves, instead of their tricks. I wanted to show all of us hanging out, laughing, having a good time, making up and sharing tricks, and relaxing after a tough competition. This was the plan until I got home and realized that the photos I had taken all weekend showed a much more interesting story.

Over the course of the weekend, I shot approximately 2000 photos using a combination of my iPhone, Lumix LX7, and Sony NEX-5N using (primarily) a 8mm fisheye. If you were in my vicinity at any point this weekend, odds are I took your picture.

Inspired by Kohta’s EYYC 2012 video, this BAC 2013 video shows a different side of the contest filled with friends, family, spirits, camaraderie, yoyoing, and kendama.

This Is Called String Tricking

May 30, 2013 By Steve Brown

This one totally slipped by us…our favorite comment troll, Ben Gates, filmed a short documentary on modern yoyoing…on 16mm, no less! Looks like it was shot at last year’s MA State YoYo Contest. From the video description:

An exploration of modern yo-yoing as a form of visual communication. Produced for Documenting Visual Culture IN 374. Filmed on a 16mm Bolex camera at MA States 2012 and Z-Games 2013.

Featuring the tricks of Alex Lozyniak, Michael Ferdico, James Lowell, Tyler McCallumore, Grant Johnson, Eric Koloski, Mark Mangarin, Elliot Jackson, Nick DeValpine, Matt Burkhead, Andrew Maider, Andrew Bergen, and CJ Atkinson.

Special Thanks to Kathryn Ramey, Rob Todd, Cass Marks, and Steve Baldwin at National Boston. No thanks to CineLab, because they suck.

Elliot Jackson – Kingsborough

January 28, 2013 By Steve Brown

CLYW‘s Elliot Jackson dropped this glorious yoyo and kendama bomb while I was out of town this past weekend and it’s a perfect snapshot of why Elliot is one of the most fun and underrated players out there. He’s got a smooth, fluid style that is fueled by some absolutely monstrous bursts of creativity. Amazing work, Elliot!
