In Brief
william_ is a YouTube Pooper that makes detailed, effects-heavy poops with clean editing, visual humor and a cinematic feel.
History
william_ came into contact with YTP periodically ever since he started his YouTube channel in 2010 to post his shitty animations. He first came across YTP while browsing asdfmovie videos and seeing a lot of WMM poops of it. Later on, he discovered popular SpongeBob poopers such as Fawful and MoBrosStudios and, knowing now that YTP could actually be good, he became an avid fan.
Eventually he got so into YTP that he decided to make his own poops. So he downloaded Sony Vegas and an episode of SpongeBob and got cracking. He also converted his YouTube account from a shitty animation channel into a YTP channel.
First poop seen
Some really bad asdfmovie YTP that he can't find anymore. (Probably for the best.)
First poop made
Attack of the Flying Futchman (actual first poop, unreleased due to copyright issues)
The Inbetweenies Are Accosted By a Fish-Like Substance (first video actually uploaded to YouTube)
Style
william_ does not have a set style that he uses for his videos - instead, he makes an effort to use different techniques for almost every video. He's tried out pretty much every major poopism out there at least once. Nevertheless, he always uses lots of masking, weird effects, and clean, seamless editing in his videos. He also places large importance on pacing, making sure there is not a wasted moment throughout the video.
Preferred Sources
- SpongeBob SquarePants
- Azumanga Daioh
- Other random animes he enjoys
- CD-i
- That one clip of the Folgers coffee guy saying 'BAD' (which has become a running gag in his videos, starting with 'ytp intermission: coffee break'.)
- Random videos he finds on the internet (this is the basis of his 'ytp filler' series)
Preferred Software
william_ uses Sony Vegas 11 with BCC, Sapphire, and NewBlueFX plugins. He also (very rarely) uses After Effects with Red Giant plugins, mostly for making alt account video experiments.
Likes
- YTPs that greatly alter the source material, creating new scenes and even plotlines
- Or YTPs that don't. They're also cool. He likes all YTPs to be honest
- Various cartoons and animes
- Music: Sufjan Stevens, Tame Impala, Godspeed, Stereolab, Telepath, among many others
- Pizza, pasta, and other delectables of Italian persuasion
Dislikes
- People saying YTP is dead (it isn't)
- YTP drama (seriously guys it's just poop why d'ya gotta make it so COMPLICATED)
Reception
william_ has received very positive reception for the most part, with people mostly praising his editing skills, pacing, and humor. Among his subscribers are well-known poopers such as Awful Fawful, DinnerWarrior and EmperorLemon.
Criticism
- Doesn't really use sentence-mixing as often as he would like to (though he wishes to change this in future with his CD-i poops)
- His early poops consisted mostly of just him spamming effects, making little effort to include jokes. He has improved upon this since then, though.
Achievements
- Made Emperorlemon's list of Top 25 YTPs of 2015
- As a result of that, now has 1000+ subscribers and counting
- Most popular video (Squidwarp's Time Travelling Adventure) has over 25,000 views
