So we are shooting urban soon and I'm just wondering how other people come up with cool angles. We have 2 glidecams and two tripods and two cameras so what are some cool concepts to try or any tips to make it look good.

Just take your time looking at the spot and testing different angles. Take lots of b-roll shots of shoveling and hiking etc. Just watch lots of urban videos and see what they do that you like. If you haven't see it already watch JP Auclairs All.I.Can. Segment filmed in Trail, BC.

Let's be honest, who hasn't seen that segment.

generally with urban, the lower you get the camera the cooler it looks.

I would say to have one person using a tripod that can get the landing/majority of the feature. Have the tripod person do something simple like a pan. The last thing you want is to mess up the shot of a sick urban trick. Then for the second camera I would get a little more creative, maybe use a glidecam and follow the person into the feature, or whatever you'd like. Then if you really mess up the glidecam shot, you still have the safe tripod shot to fall back on.
