I decided to interview TehShadizfy this time around, and we got a wonderful response. Lets get started.
How did you find YTP?
Interesting story with me. First exposure I ever did have to anything YTP-related was when I stumbled upon a Chowder YTP a while back. 2005-06, I think? I can't remember. But regardless, not knowing much about YouTube Poop and only hearing the name thrown around quite a lot, I only made it in a couple seconds before I shut it off. Whoda'thunk I'd get a request on a ridicluously old channel of mine to make a Coraline YTP (which I've still thought of doing one day), and that would get me started on the whole thing?
What inspired you to start making your own YTPs?
There are two names I can dish out as to my inspiration for Pooping; shroomhead1 and Orpheusftw. Shroom, for his trippy visuals and stellar usage of Vibrato, and Orpheus, for his ridiculous masking skills and sentence mixing. For those that watch my content, it's sorta obvious their styles have rubbed off on me.......okay, that's just overblowing it, but It's because of those two that I got into YTP, and have been trying to improve since the first Poop I shat out.
Who are your inspirations?
Besides the two gentlemen I just mentioned, I also look up to people like MoBrosStudios, KatanaSoul, EmperorLemon and the late, great WTLNetwork, among others. I could name quite a few other people of whose work I greatly enjoy, but then I'd be here all night.
Tell us about first poop you ever made.
I actually did a whole videya thing about it, but the first actual YouTube Poop I ever did do wasn't even on my YTP channel. On another channel of mine, I had decided to take up a missing slot in a YTP Tennis with another late Pooper, SmartNoob89. It was my first time ever doing a YTP, and I did truly give it me all. But if you wanna talk about the first Poop I did, non-Tennis like, it was basically a Poop of the first of HotDiggedyDemon's PONY.MOV vids (which I still need to do the last one of, damn it). Put it up on my other channel, and SmartNoob was like, "Hey, you ought to make a YTP channel to put all this on." So after some thinking, I thought, "Why the hell not?," and thus, I stand here today.
What is your favorite source to use?
Being that my other line of work involves working in Garry's Mod and Source Filmmaker, I've stuck to Team Fortress 2 as a main running source of material in my YTPs, and it's quite obvious if you were to watch any of my videos. Other than that, I have no real "favorite" source to use. But there are still others I would love to use some day.
What editing software do you use?
Sony Vegas Pro 11. Tried and true for me.
I've notcied you won the Iron Poop Tourament. What was your reaction to winning that?
The truth? I was damn surprised I even made it that far to begin with. Right from the start, I thought I'd have zero chance of even making it to Round 3, because I knew even if I made it that far, superspyro3000 would wipe the floor with me. Christ, I was pretty certain ManiacMoomin would be the one to knock me off the ladder, but somehow, I pulled through. How I managed to do it, I still wonder, but I'm happy I was able to participate nonetheless.
Have you ever wanted to get into YTPMV?
I have only done one actual YTPMV in my YTP career, which was a YTPMV of one of those chiptune watchmajiggers set to the TF2 Meet the Team videos. Even I thought it kinda sucked. Other than that, I've done that sort of thing at least two or three other times in some other videos of mine, but yeah. If given the chance, I'd love to try some more YTPMV. Hell, I've been trying to do one of all the Iron Poop Tournament sources just to celebrate 600+ subscribers (which also surprises the shish out of me, where the hell did you people come from?)
What do you want to say to all the YouTube Poopers out there?
Doesn't matter if you're a new Pooper, or an old-timer. If you put yer heart into it, you can make something great.
Are fish people too?
I answer that with a question as well; are we not all fish?
Thank you for your time Shadz!
