What do you guys film? I'm trying to expand my cinematic horizons to stuff other than just ski edits and I was thinking about doing a music video with a friends band, other ideas?

I do local music.  I've done  ton.  You need good speakers for mine.  Here is one.  Search music at my channel for more.

i would like to make short films, but i feel like no one gives a shit. I want to film something other than skiing that will get peoples attention/that i can still be creative with.

I shoot almost exclusively in the live-events space. It's a very smooth transition from action-sports in the sense that the shooting is very "reactive" (vs. specifically planning and staging every shot). In post-production, I tend to treat individual shots/moments as if they were unique tricks landed.

Most of my recent work has been electronic music events, if you're interested: https://vimeo.com/officialrecap

I shoot a lot of human interest kind of shit for TV in pc, lot of interviews, attending events, etc stoked when I get to film sports other than skiing but end up filming shit i could care less about, which sucks sometimes but thats how it works.

Im also "shooting" a live show everyday, pretty interesting setting up a live set, choosing different FOV for different topics, situations, its very different.

Besides skiing, Ive done surf, bike, scooter, and local music. Really liked filming surfing because of the amazing angles you can get with just a gopro.

I've been getting into short documentaries for people and businesses. I made this one:

Sweet Tree Arts from Alex Forcillo on Vimeo.


And I've got 2 more in the making currently. They're super fun, especially when it's a creative subject that you can really get in to.

I was really into nature/timelapse shooting for a while. I still am, I just haven't done as much of it lately...

As far as other actions sports go, I've done a little with biking and surfing in the past year. What I would give for an underwater casing for my camera....

The most recent thing I shot was something I've never done before. I shot my friend in a pottery studio. Here's the finished short: http://youtu.be/T6m2-2kzokY

The last 2 years I've mostly filmed motocross with some downhill MTB thrown in every once in a while. You can't really get bored with downhill since it's always changing. Moto is pretty rad, I get to travel my ass off and film somewhere new just about every month.

I haven't really thought about filming music videos but I know there is some great money in it.

These are just come clips from the last 2 months I threw together. Maybe give moto and downhill go? Endless opportunities for creative shots.

It's super fun to experiment with filming other sports than usual. I've never been a huge skateboarder but I find it super fun to film; same with surfing. It is challenging to pick it up (especially if you don't do the sport yourself) but you start to pick it up. Also, I find interesting to try and recreate my own version of transitional shots such as the ones in the movie Into The Mind

Weddings.

In my home town people are amazed that something can be shot creatively and actually edited to music and made to look pretty.  There aren't any other videographers in my home town so it's easy to get my name around.

I also have done some documentaries and short film types
