So I have been searching on here and a bit on google and couldnt find much on how to follow cam and what are some good tips and techniques when doing it.

I know what equipment you should use but what are like good techniques for doing it? do you wanna be really close the subject or far away or like mid-way? also should you do some shots going on the side of them or maybe pass em or is better to just stay behind?

Sorry im new to filming while skiing and wanted to try some follow cams with my friends so i know prob all these questions are dumb!

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Also sorry if there was another post on something like this i just couldnt find it.

yeah the best way to figure it out is to do a bunch of different ways and find out what works best for you. i personally like longer lens follows that is at an off angle to the rider more than i like wide angle close follows that look like glorified gopro follows. but thats just me. others will feel complete opposite and it all depends on the style of the edit your going for.

basically, try it all
