4 Look Last Layer "No Notation" Tutorial - Drafts

[theace]

I've been meaning to make these for a while. Many newbies have issues remembering algorithms in notation and muscle memory takes rather long to develop. I've been on a teaching spree for the past few months and I've figured that people manage to nail algs when they understand how the whole thing works. I finally stopped procrastinating and made these vids when a friend of mine forced me to because she anted to take them with her on her America Tour. I wasn't planning to post these as they aren't exactly the kind of videos I'd put up as tutorials on You Tube (With the Indian accent, vernac languages and stuff) but i decided to go ahead and post them here so i can get reviews and feedback on how to improve. I'll be recording and editing both of these again and uploading the final versions.

Again, I must mention that these videos were recorded for a friend and are addressed straight to her. Which is why I talk the way i do in the video.

G2 love that accent (L)

Huh? That's the Indian accent most people have trouble understanding. I try to wear an American one whenever I'm making vids so people can understand better. It used to be a pain when I used to be on Ventrilo while playing Ragnarok haha!

What did you say in the PLL video at 1:27? Sounds like "You need to to make the J contender.".

 

[theace]

Oh, that was Hindi. J "ka danda". "Danda" meaning rod or stick or pole or whatever and "ka" is kinda like a preposition. It would mean "The J's pole / rod / stick / whatever"

That's all the feedback? Cmon, I can't be THAT perfect now xD

Too long (for me... I already know OLL+PLL and the "when they understand how the whole thing works" sounds interesting but I don't want to sift through half an hour of video for it. Description in text form?).

Alright. Basically, The videos are about how to remember each of the algs visually.
Sune: Track how the pair goes. Remove, push, re insert.
Anti Sune: Same concept, but BR pair.
Double Triple Sune: Remove, push, open slot, pull back, stop - don't insert, close slot, push, etc
Chameleon: Decapitate, mount head on wall, Form "L", Ls go to the left - Restore yellow face - First 2x1 bar, Second 2x1 bar and the last 3x1 bar (obvious restore)
Superman: Get UBR corner to DFR and save it on the L slice, get cross piece out of top layer (push away from you - you shouldn't see it), Get UBL corner to DFR via UFR and replace with the corner you had kept there before, put 3x1 bar on U, re insert last pair.
Bruno: Remove pair and spin around twice, get a "T" with an R2 and place it sideways. Then for a 3x bar but make sure you see a white (which will mean they do an R2 and not just an R), insert first pair / match whites on the front. Then, since the last pair needs to go down (FUL corner to FDR) and since this cant be done directly get that particular "slot" up and put the pair in, followed by an obvious restore.

I'll convert the PLL video to text tomorrow. I'm too sleepy to do it right now and I have a headache because of powerpoint -.-
Do you think I should reduce the length in general?

Nice vid-editing going on there bruv At least during the first few mins of it that I could enjoy. My PC tried to buffer, and then tried again, but ended up mumbling "excuses" and then took a sprint for the back door in a "zig-zag" type fashion (the back door of my house that is, not my back door). Hope it comes back home though... (the PC, not my back door which is still there...probably) ...
Yeah so~... my connection is kinda slow right now Would you mind posting a 240p version so I can catch up on things? Cheers.

The accent is cool though, makes me have "happy time!"

Kind retards,

H.

Hey Stef', what's your main 4x4x4 brand if I may ask? Sorry for asking such a simple question, but please see it as "one for the fan"...I mean "fans"....

That's my camera. I recorded using a Sony Cybershot Digicam. Any suggestions to get rid of the noise? I pretty much suck at almost all other languages except English, including Marathi which happens to be my mom tongue.

Lol Happy Time? xD I was considering switching accents in the final version. Should I reconsider?

Wow thats a nice tutorial. It really gave me a better understanding of the concepts behind these OLLs.
