    This information was extremely useful. I'm glad that I got to hear it from such a master of this craft. Ride Channel really came through on this one.

    Great Tips !
    Could you also give tips when filming a static shot (fx a rail or stairs) when the camera moves close to the rail or ground when the skater lands the trick. Hope it makes sense :)

    cheers for the advice, recently fabricated my own mount frame for my canon dslr, i realised after my first day that filming a skate video is an art in itself, allot harder than it looks! will definitely sort out a filming board, thats what i need!! probably just use my old pool board with some phat wheels!! :)

  • @spicychicken1661
    @spicychicken1661 12 років тому

    Yeah Opteka has some really nice stabilization products. Holding your tripod like a glidecam helps too, but I don't think nearly as much as getting some sort of stabilizer. Go out and try it; see if you like the result

  • @CaseyHardman
    @CaseyHardman 11 років тому +1

    Yeah, definitely. Sometimes there are shots that you can't help but cut some, which is completely fine. I have a Canon T3i and a Rokinon 8mm and I've come to realize how much less you have to work with. It all comes with practice.

    do you have automatic focus on your dslr ? If not, how do you keep the skater in focus always ?

  • @ericnasr22
    @ericnasr22 11 років тому +3

    while you may be entitled to your own opinion theres just one small thing that bothers me with it. Many professional filmers while filming with a dslr do cut heads and parts of bodies because the fisheye is to small to be close. It isn't a question of being experienced or not it's just about the size of the fisheye. Now with a set up like Vx/Mk1 it is harder to cut because the fisheye is clearly bigger so I'd agree with you under those circumstances.

  • @splosionboy

  • @NickWorldwide
    @NickWorldwide 9 років тому

    What would a good filming setup be? I've discovered I'm actually pretty good with a camera but all I have now is a gopro 3 that I just hold in my hand while filming lines. I want a better high quality camera that gets better audio and color and I would also prefer the fisheye to be more of a circle because the go pro lens doesn't really capture up and down that far it's just really wide so sometimes the body of the person I'm filming gets half cut off. I also want there to be a light so I can film at night but I don't know how to do that? and I don't know anything about the handle thing you attach the camera to. I also want a camera that can film AT LEAST 120fps at 720p for slow motion. Any recommendations?

    • @TheRealPlato
      @TheRealPlato 9 років тому

      +NickWorldwide i just started filming skating with a Hero 3+ Silver which does 720p/120 and a u-shaped cam caddy. there's a lot more going on than I thought, It's gonna take lots of practice to hold it steady and pointed in the right direction let alone maintain the right speed and direction

    • @MrScottCarr
      @MrScottCarr 9 років тому +4

      +NickWorldwide You're not going to get a DSLR or anything that can do 120fps. You could buy the sony fs700 (i think) that does 120 fps, but it's thousands of dollars. For me 60fps is plenty for slow motion. The super slow motion in skate videos is kinda lame anyways.

    • @stormpegasisfan
      @stormpegasisfan 7 років тому

      The only downside is, it's a 155°, not enough for ideal skateboarding shots, but you can use superview, which is capturing the whole sensor and dinamically stretching to 16:9 wide aspect ratio (which i don't really like) but it's a solution.
