I can see many mistakes but we can't help it, the camera battery ran out so quickly.
We seriously need a DSLR camera.

Hey look, we did what we could with a handheld camera, a tripod and a lack of filming skills, yeah? we gave it our best shot anyway! And plus, I don't think we're even eligible for the comp, I just sent it to them because... YOLO, bro :D

Well not to be a moodkiller but here's my opinion:

1. The competition is about "one" ball not more :)
2. You stated "train hard - play hard" but on the video you don't really train, you just make some serves and film randomly. The message you're trying to send doesnt fit to your footage.
3. I don't think the music fits to the theme. ( "hard" and then just so quiet & boring music)
4. To be honest it is just a simplified copy of my video (especially the construct of the video and the end with the message and blurry screen), try to be more creative the next time :)

BTW, you post so frequently and sometimes really good posts, that's why i assumed you would probably play much better :p

But i appreciate your work and effort!

Posting good posts means you have the knowledge but it doesn't mean you have the skill.

Actually, to be honest, the reason why we made the video like this was because we were inspired by your one, and being ones who kinda lack creativity, we wanted to take elements of yours and see if we could make a film ourselves, but yes of course, i'll try to make it different next time; my sense of creativity has been drifting away lately, art-wise as well D:

and i'm more of a table tennis enthusiast and junkie, rather than a pro player, so I observe and comment a lot, but my actions don't really justify my knowledge, haha; I feel quite shameful of myself because of that D:

Oh wow, i really feel flattered then :) Hope you guys didn't take my comments to harsh, now after a day reading again, it sounds so hard!
You surely get new ideas for your next video, lack of creativity goes away soon! :)

Oh no, don't feel ashamed! I am also a total junkie! :D Observing is the first step to mastering the game :)

Haha, don't worry, didn't take your comment as a harsh one at all! After all, opinions are what one uses to base their future and improve it on! And yes, i'm trying hard to think of different concepts for the next table tennis video i'm going to make :D

I am impressed by your good "sportsmanship" in these comments and your responses. Makes me like you, ttunreal and XIII as contributors that much more, the level of honesty you present. :)

Haha, well, not only that, but we must maintain and continue to have a good atmosphere on this forum, not only for settled members but also for future ones as well!

Just read all the comments to Carl, wow incredible sportsmanship and that's why I love you guys! You make this forum what it is, and I love it! Your videos are all excellent, perhaps that's why I didn't win the ITTF Video because it didn't fit the description. Who knows? Let's enjoy TT and have fun! :)

Happy holidays guys :)

Think big, why? Cause we can!
Imagination is one of our most valuable treasures! It let us fly high, it let us think of unthinkable, it let us manage unmanagable.

This is the video of me and T!Joachim which we sent to Butterfly to win their contest of the Ball of the month!

I would be so glad if you could vote for us, like the video or hell, just watch the video and spread the love of table tennis!

How do you vote? It's simple:

Send an email to [email protected] with the subject "BDM Voting" and following text:
Video 5 + [ your name & email ]


That is all! Plus you can even win prizes for voting! I.e. Table tennis balls, a sport bag, a timo boll blade and much more!

Thank you guys so much!
If we win, we will show the prize to you and review it together on TTD!
