Conradslater vs. Misselaineous10: Difference between revisions

Line 34:

In the months leading up to the organization of this match, Conrad Slater had already long been a fan and participant of [[Photoshop Tennis]], and evidence exists on the old [[YouChew]] forums of him engaging with the community in such an activity earlier in the summer of 2007. Considered to be a visionary of his generation, it was not long after that Conrad put together the natural equation of [[YouTube Poop]] as it was at the time with the context of a [[tennis]] exchange, as such an exchange with video had yet to happen on the internet. His original post asking for an opponent is occasionally remembered for its very forward thinking and casual approach to a medium that hadn't even existed before it: "I've got some time free now - althogh I should be doing poroper work - I quite fancy making a few quick rounds; 6 - rounds - 3 [videos] each. 24 hour limit per round, 3 clip addition per round, no time limit on each [video], no winner"

Misselaineous10 originally expressed interest, but did not immediately accept due to personal life events. She finally officially joined the match as Conrad's opponent three days after his serve was made, and finished her Round 2 only a couple of hours later. The rest of the match was completed over the following week.

The rest of the match was completed over the following week. conradslater notably uses [[Final Cut Pro]] and [[After Effects]] for his rounds, years before either software would become more visibly used, and Misselaineous10 uses [[Adobe Premiere]] for her rounds.

As soon as only a matter of months later, the match was being celebrated, documented and discussed in detail not only for being the first match ever played, but also as a match of fantastic quality and entertainment value in its own right. Round 5 and 6 in particular continue to be praised and remembered for the earth-shattering precedents that they set for the visual, energetic and musical editing present across both videos. In {{RabbitSnore}}'s retrospective review of the match November of 2007, he summarized it aptly as "a paragon of [video] tennis, the [rounds] superb, the editing never lazy. This is the way [video] tennis ought to be played." He also around the same time referred to it as the best tennis match he had ever seen, going on to give particular praise to Miss10's Round 6 as a favorite and highlight. He would express the desire to play both players, both matches of which would happen.
