moosevisionVX1000 + Fisheye
OxcilicFish eye is better for skateboarding coz it's about the board. Skiing is about what the skier does with their body so clean shots.
MNSkiersI could go for some clean fish eye with no distortion. When clips get distorted because the angle is too wide it aint my thing
CrotchKillerFisheye is distortion. Fisheye without distortion is just wide angle
MNSkiersI'm talking like a crazy amount of distortion
moosevisionYou obviously don't skate do you lol. Skateboarding is not just about the board..... It's about the body and style just as much as skiing is.

I think these fisheye shots were all done properly. Distortion to the point where you can see rounded off corners is too bothersome. Sometimes it just looks like it was filmed on an iphone with a cheap fisheye lens attached.
brotoyou're talking about a shitty lens and a shitty filmer then. when done right, fisheye shots are fucking badass.

OxcilicYou obviously have no common sense do you lol. I skate everyday, probably more than you. Obviously the purpose of fisheye is the emphasise of the board in the frame. A kickflip involves the board turning. A cork 7 involves the body turning.
kfed_bong_ripdo most of you even watch other shit like skateboarding and snowboarding? hell even some rollerbladers can film proper fisheye. or are you so stuck in this skiing thing? fisheye isnt an old school thing that should be though of as a novelty for "artsy" edits. its the best way to film these sort of action sports. and if you think fisheye has no place in skiing you really need to get out there and see how a fisheye is actually used. SD or HD.
KrotchI like sticking fisheyes on my RED camera so i can shoot in 4K

safariariIt just depends on the overall look you're going for. For example do you want your edits to look like a 90's skateboard video or a MSP movie. Personally unless you are seriously throwing down on giant stuff I prefer fisheye.
MDrapHD. Better quality and not as hood rat.
brotoIt is to be noted that fisheye =/= bad quality, it's literally just distortion of the FOV
There are clean fisheye shots and there are low quality, poorly filmed ones. The title of this thread is stupid as it implies that fisheye shots are inherently not "clean" shots.
Even recording on tape doesn't mean low quality shots.
