john18061806this edit invalidates the argument that "gopros suck"
Gopros are so small, convenient, and versatile that you can just lap with friends and stack an unbelievable amount of shots. you don't have to worry about lenses, exposure, setting up the mic, balancing your stabilizer, etc. Gopros help the common skier who doesn't want to invest in a real camera to still get the shot and put out great content.
sure, the sensor is small and the quality isn't on par with real cameras but that will change in the coming years. the quality had been getting much better over the years and they have the potential to make a camera with cinematic quality. Small cameras are already being made that have unbelievable video quality. Imagine a gopro with the specs of this thing but with higher framerate options. https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/cinemacameras/techspecs/W-CIN-09
sorry for traveling a few miles down a tangent... the tricks in this edit blow my mind, it's even better that it's so casual too, just two friends lapping a park.

UglyboyYou'd have to be a complete cunt of a skier to think that are a go pro edit is no less skilled than an edit shot on a proper set up. It's still the exact same principal of getting the shot.
john18061806Filming on a real camera is harder than on a gopro. Editing is the same, a talented editor can make anything look sick. With a real camera you have a ridiculous amount of options with shot composition with lenses and such. You don't have that with a gopro. It's wide angle or "narrow" field of view. Sure, getting the shot is getting the shot but there are so many ways to do it with a real camera and the technical aspects of operating it are harder than pressing two buttons. I'm not a cunt, I just have experience making edits with both gopros and dlsrs.

UglyboyI feel like the whole composition, etc is an elitest attitude.
john18061806I'm talking about how customizable filming with a camera with interchangeable lenses is. Composition isn't the perfect word for that. Gopro's can't get telephoto shots or the standard 18mm look. Damn this has gotten way off topic haha
kalisecAlso it would probably help to wake up competition judges.. brah brah
