How To Film Skateboarding

[RRHirata]

how to push without shaking the camera? i started filming with a handle and every push shakes the camera

[dudeletsgoskate]

@RRHirata lots and lots and lots and lots of practice

[MrFabbeh]

hey are jvc everio gz-hd7 a good cam to start with?

[dudeletsgoskate]

@MrFabbeh Any camera is good to start off with, but I dont have any experience with that camera. I've never used one.

[MrFabbeh]

@dudeletsgoskate okey, thanks for answering

[Wei55Adler]

or.. u buy a go pro hero 2 .. and u rock doing nothing

[360flippedupeltoro69]

hey dude back again for more tips. today when filming, i noticed the exposure automatically shifting from light to dark, and it was kinda out of focus. is this normal when filming in bright sunlight or do i need to get the camera checked out?

[dudeletsgoskate]

@360flippedupeltoro69 try to adjust your shhutterspeed, on my hmc some fluorescent lights will make the exposure seem like its shifting. never happened while i was outside though.

[rastask8ter1]

It's me again lol, finally got my DVX, still trying to play with the settings. Any tips on fixing the colors and etc.?

[dudeletsgoskate]

@rastask8ter1 keep messing around with your settings.. white balance, shutter speed and exposure

[UndecidedSkating]

@dudeletsgoskate what sony trv camera is that

[LeRollClan]

How can I put the video from the tape on my computer??

[shadowoble101]

Hey I dont want to buy a super high quality camera so I'm looking at a sony cx110, would you think thats an alright choice for a moderately good skate camera?

[dudeletsgoskate]

@shadowoble101 good starter camera, as far as super high quality.... i dont think thats the right camera

[shadowoble101]

@dudeletsgoskate Thanks man, I was going to the mall today to get a new deck and I was gonna buy that camera soon but when I went outside my car was toast. Dont think I'll be filming anytime soon :/

[1357skate4life]

@dudeletsgoskate i am just starting filming and to start of with i was wandering if a Sony HDR-CX700VE is ok

[dudeletsgoskate]

@1357skate4life yeah, its a place to start

[dudeletsgoskate]

@chronicskate13 well... i guess you could

[KonspearacyClothing]

do you think canon gl1 is a good camera to film with?

[dudeletsgoskate]

@KonspearacyClothing gl1's and gl2's aren't bad

[KonspearacyClothing]

@dudeletsgoskate i just got a gl1 yesterday thats why . Im planing on getting a gl2 also.

[americanmisfit1]

hey dude is it hard to film with no screen with the vx100. how do you know he's not out of the shot

[dudeletsgoskate]

@americanmisfit1 with a fisheye, you just get used to how far away from the person you have to be. comes with practice

[dudeletsgoskate]

@loudon96b you dont want to have only a gopro to film with. they are awesome, but not as your only camera

[ThePissedoffPony]

i hurd Vx 1000 are really bad and they arnt Hd and they run on tapes so they r junk ?

[dudeletsgoskate]

@ThePissedoffPony vx1000/mk1's are one of my favorite SD cameras, they are not hd and they use tapes but are 13-ish years old. finding a good one is hard these days

[zacman587]

Huge gap at the start!

[osubucksrule33]

Hey i am using a canon ZR60 (crappy, ik but im 14 and i cant afford a better one) and i was wondering if you knew where i could find a 3-hour battery for it?

[dudeletsgoskate]

@osubucksrule33 try to google extended life battery for your camera, in your case you may just have to get a few of the stock batteries and keep switching them as they die

[victoraceves]

WHEREs that double set at

[OjaiOutsiders]

Amazing

[TheDMFcompany]

I got a small camcorder. It's a panasonic HDC-TM80. Is that even usable for skating? I can't find a fisheye for it :/

[dudeletsgoskate]

@TheDMFcompany I've seen a few videos with those kinds of cameras and wasnt very siked with the results.. when buying a fisheye dont look for a "HDC-TM80 fisheye" look at the threads or bayo on the front of your camera and look for a comparable fisheye. you can buy step up/step down rings, too

[TechBurrowFanboy]

i have a sony trv 318? are these good for filming? and what would be the best films for this camera?

[dudeletsgoskate]

@TechBurrowFanboy never used one of those, but i have used a trv900 or 950. they are a step under vx2000's

[TechBurrowFanboy]

@dudeletsgoskate ok well thats all i have right now? so what your sayong is that there not good at all?

[dudeletsgoskate]

@TechBurrowFanboy i just googled it real quick, looks kind of low end..

[TechBurrowFanboy]

@dudeletsgoskate ya it came out around 2001, but i just watched a video on from it on my tv and looked pretty good, but idk thats y i was asking

[joeschnellridesbmx]

does the sony fx7 need tapes?

[dudeletsgoskate]

@joeschnellridesbmx Yeah, either sony premium of HDV tapes

[Yellowood100]

Anyone knows if "Opteka Titanium Series 0.3X HD Ultra Fisheye Lens" fit on canon dos 550d?

[dudeletsgoskate]

@Yellowood100 nope, thats a lens for a camcorder. 550d's or t2i's are SLR's

[Yellowood100]

@dudeletsgoskate Ah. Thank you! :)

[102robertini]

@Yellowood100 if you've got some money in your pocket, you can go to Samyang 8mm fisheye.

[Yellowood100]

@102robertini Yeah, it costs a lot. Do you know any cheaper fisheye for dsrl's?

[dudeletsgoskate]

@Yellowood100 I have a bower 8mm. Some video with it - /watch?v=NyoMO-PI9jI

[Yellowood100]

@dudeletsgoskate ok thnx

[102robertini]

@Yellowood100 i've got a canon 5d and i didnt see a cheaper fisheye

[sorecm]

its any way to solve the problem whit thestreetlights?

[dudeletsgoskate]

@sorecm whats the problem? white balance ?

[sorecm]

@dudeletsgoskate no whit the street lights in the night they get bigger and cant see check out my last uploaded video in the 9th trick there u can se the problem :S

[dudeletsgoskate]

@sorecm Not sure, never had that problem. Try to close your iris more. I know that helps with depth but not sure if it will sove that problem

[JGraffy]

Hey, I got a Nikon L120 for Christmas. It has great picture quality. Not sure about the video quality to record skating. I like to skate and would enjoy using my camera to record, can it be used or no?

Thanks!

[dudeletsgoskate]

@JGraffy If it can film, you can use it... but I'm not sure how good the quality will be I've never used one of those. I've used a d90 and wasn't very impressed before but never a L120

[TheMrJackem]

where did you get the camera bag at 1:36 ?!?!?! whats the brand and stuff

i need one for my vx1000

[dudeletsgoskate]

@TheMrJackem ogio atiba mini, i got mine off a friend.. but look online or ask your local skateshop to order you one

[TheMrJackem]

@dudeletsgoskate thanks man

[RINFIProduction]

Hey, my name is robert and i am a skater of stuttgart.

I am gonna buy myself the Canon 5d. Does anyone know a good and not a to exspensive Handle for the Cam...

Any Answer will help me :)

Thanks for Help

[dudeletsgoskate]

@RINFIProduction opteka grip or make one. ezay handle is the best though.

[oscflims]

@RINFIProduction opteka x grip

[OscarEck]

thanx 2 this video i got so much better at filming thanq

[JoekCreations]

hehe you speak like Mark Hoppus from blink-182 :D

[ventuskh93]

"your gonna need big batteries" thats what she said

[TheJack4real]

I use to film but then i took an arrow to the...ow! wait what the fuck? who put this arrow in my knee?

[gamemaster012345]

I film with a Fujifilm finepix HS20 and i take photos but don't know what setting to have it on. Same with filming

[NorthEastFbs]

Can you please tell me what shutter speed my Canon GL1 should be at. Ik movie and regular frame but what about shutter speed. And sorry for the newbb question but how do u set shutter speed on the gl1..

[comrade9191]

what would you set your shutter speed for a trv900? by sony.

[dudeletsgoskate]

@comrade9191 500 - 1000 daytime, nighttime no less than 250

[360flippedupeltoro69]

what would you set your shutter speed for at for a vx2000?

[dudeletsgoskate]

@360flippedupeltoro69 500 - 1000 daytime, nighttime no less than 250

[hzuzuknowsall]

i film with a vx1000. do you think i should get a canon t2i or vx2000 for a secondary camera? and do you know how the t2i does in low light?

[dudeletsgoskate]

@hzuzuknowsall both have their pros and cons in your situation.. vx2000, all your batteries will work and you dont have to convert footage, vx2000 is good in low light and its cheaper.. a t2i shoots really good video, but you have to buy lenses, a microphone and a handle

[hzuzuknowsall]

@dudeletsgoskate true. im thinkin that im gonna get the t2i though because i am starting to get into photagraphy too and i have a dslr now, but its and oldish nikon so it doesnt take video. and i love all the freedome that you have with the t2i being able to dake great photos and videos and that you can have an external mic. its definatly the best for the price with dslr's so im probably going to get the t2i

[SirOpusculum]

RATATAT in the background! ---> Thumbs up just for this.

[AngusSk8er12]

What ratio do you upload in? and how do you choose the ratio?

[dudeletsgoskate]

@AngusSk8er12 16:9 is widescreen and 4:3 fullscreen. Gennerally SD footage is 4:3 and HD footage is 16:9

[jordancurry123456789]

i film fisheye. its better & looks waaaay nicer

[LehighAcresSk8rs]

you said that a TRV is good for filming, but I understand that some of these cameras are rather old. Would you consider filming with a Sony Handycam TRV85 ?

[dudeletsgoskate]

@LehighAcresSk8rs yeah, trv's are good cameras. vx1000's are 13-15 years old and people still use them.

[LehighAcresSk8rs]

@dudeletsgoskate Alright. Thank you. Another question: Were do you think I could find a fire wire cable for a RV308?

[dudeletsgoskate]

@LehighAcresSk8rs they are super cheap online, ebay. if you have some cash go to best buy

[F3deProd]

@dudeletsgoskate yo whats higher 1/100 1/60?? how do you set this?? for example in daylight whats ths th shutter speed i sould use?? pls answer THANKS 

[dudeletsgoskate]

@F3deProd for a vx2100 i usually set the shutter speed around 500-1000 in the daylight and no less than 250 at night

[MRZEROSKATER8]

dude thanks this will help but what camera do you use

[RINFIProduction]

@MRZEROSKATER8 he films with vx2100 and mk1

[dudeletsgoskate]

if you mean 30 pictures, yeah. considering a good SLR is 9fps but if your talking about video try to shoot 60fps if you can. youll get better motion

[101robertini]

are 30 pictures in a second many?

[KickBaseSkateKrew]

lakewood ohio?

[brosevillesk8]

@streetrep831 no you just need a 4 pin to 6 pin FireWire if your on a desktop computer. For a laptop you need a 4pin to 4 pin FireWire

[StreetRep831]

i kinda want to get a Canon GL1 but i don't know how to put the tapes/vids on my computer. Is it kinda a hassle?

[dudeletsgoskate]

@StreetRep831 you have to get editing software and a firewire. importing sucks, editing is fun

[thaanimalkingdom]

@StreetRep831 fuck gl1s vx1000 or die

[TheFilmersSkaters]

Would you recommend the Canon FS300?

[dudeletsgoskate]

@TheFilmersSkaters never used one, so idk anything about flash storage cameras

[EricFilmsCT]

What bag is that and will it fit a vx2100

[dudeletsgoskate]

@EricFilmsCT its a ogio atiba mini, but for a vx2100 get a ty2 or ty1 (if you can find one) bag. vx2100 mics are higher and stick up over the padding on a atiba mini. i had to get my mic repaired because of it

[F3deProd]

@dudeletsgoskate do you still use your vx??

[dudeletsgoskate]

@F3deProd Nope, HD now

[TheChrilsenCam]

@dudeletsgoskate will it fit a dvx100a?

[dudeletsgoskate]

@TheChrilsenCam yeah. my panasonic fits in there

[TheChrilsenCam]

@dudeletsgoskate ok, thanks dude. i just got a dvx, but the bag i bought was way to big to carry around.

[Allaboutskating]

[andy360flip]

@andy360flip modded bayonet century optics mark 1

[Blakester812]

where is that indoor skatepark????

[dudeletsgoskate]

@Blakester812 its no longer there used to be in avon, oh

[ZahidSkateboards]

Is it bad to not switch brands of tapes if the camera is old like a VX cause I recently got a 3 year old hv40 and I've been using a couple of different brands

[dudeletsgoskate]

@ZahidSkateboards yeah, using different tapes can dirty your heads up faster

[TheBlakdawn]

This video is amazing. just to let you know...

[JoeHandley2]

1:28 Watch the bloke doing the manual... just before the shot ends, it looks like he's about to stack it.

[zeroreptiles96]

where do you get that sony sp film? on ebay its $10 for one

[dudeletsgoskate]

@zeroreptiles96 the sony tapes? i used to use premiums, they are about 5 dollars for one tape at walmart. its wise not to film over tapes as well

[XReverseTeamX]

DUDE HOW DO I UPLOAD MY DVC VIDZ ON A CUMPUTER ? ops caps-.-

[dudeletsgoskate]

but what do you think of the new gopro hd mini cam??

[KeatonDee]

Love how you say, on long lens you wanna keep the camera steady yet it was the shakiest clip in the video.

[dudeletsgoskate]

@KeatonDee If you pay attention I used clips to support what im saying. when I talk about steadyhot being off, its on.

[KeatonDee]

@dudeletsgoskate Oh sorry, I wasn't paying close attention, don't even know why I'm watching this. Lol!

[ZahidSkateboards]

[dudeletsgoskate]

@WhyWeSk8 me either. SD cards. never logging a tape again !

[alfiedabomb]

RATATAT

[TH3DARKSTARSKAT3RS]

could u use dslr and how

[Rdamsk8er]

@TehSk84life I like snowboarding in winter

[jablowm3]

Is the Iris on the gs-series the same as the "Exposure"

[dudeletsgoskate]

@jablowm3 yeah, panasonics use iris

[jablowm3]

@dudeletsgoskate Ok thanks. So i normally use 60 shutter speed during the day and it usually tends to work out and i just change the iris, is that bad?

[ZahidSkateboards]

@dudeletsgoskate does a canon gl1 work?

[dudeletsgoskate]

@ZahidSkateboards yeah

[ZahidSkateboards]

@dudeletsgoskate song @ 1:11??

[JordiniTine]

my main problem is keeping the camera steady and the skater fully into the shot

[jcjuve]

What do you film with?

[dudeletsgoskate]

@jcjuve used to film with vx's but i made the HD leap recently

[smokeysmithes]

well im filming myself but anyways im wondering like what is the best quality wvga,vga, or qvga. also what is a good white balance. and what is the power lcd mode. hoping you would know. this is ito film vids. thanks

[dudeletsgoskate]

@smokeysmithes vga & wvga are the same but wvga is widescreen. but i think thats monitor resolutions? white balance changes constantly so i cant tell you a good setting.
