Over the summer I am looking to get involved in shooting some sort of skate/BMX video. But I dont want to go down the obvious route and get a fish eye lens out and do what we see 80% of the time we watch a skate video. I think working with the high speed camera is something I want to incorporate as it can show off the very fine detail in the movements. The video below is very basic but shows off a lot of fine detail in a skate trick. A lot more effective than running around with a fish eye.
This video is from one of my favourite TV documentaries, Concrete Circus and is by an Independent Film Maker, Kilian Martin and what I love about this video so much, is that it is beautifully shot. n a lot of 'normal' skate videos, shot framing, colour correction, isn't something that is focused on much. As long as the trick is their, the video is 'successful to them'. In the video below, each shot is beautifully composed and we get this from the very first shot when we have a wonderful shot of the skater doing a handstand, whilst balancing on his board with the sunset behind him.
