I feel like POV (especially helmet cam shots) just aren't that interesting to watch. I've only seen like one or two POV videos that I really liked. I still think the gopro is cool for fallow cams but whenever someone has it on there head it just makes me dizzy.

i totally agree. i dont think it looks cool at all anymore. what im really into right now is the pointed back at yourself angle when the gopro is on your pole or something. yeah

I'm tired of it in skiing and action sports.  I think in films when used properly it can be cool.  I enjoy it when I go do something I think is remotely cool since I'm the one with the camera always haha.

That was really nice. He didn't do much with the footage and he really didn't need to at all, it just flowed. I bet that same edit with a follow cam wouldn't have been nearly as enjoyable, kind of interesting.
