I hope it embeds properly. All shots were filmed with an 8mm rokinon fisheye. the last two clips at night seem a little grainy to me. even the first one does to. im filming in 1080 p RAW. are there any tips that will improve my cameras performance? Dont ne shy the ore constructive criticism i can get the better its just motivation for me. so let me have it what can you guys see to make me better?

not sure what camera you are using but im gonna guess its the T3i which is very bad in low light conditions. best you can do is have the fastest aperture and play around with the iso and shutter speed. not sure what you mean by RAW cause thats a picture term. if you're going to film with the 8mm you need to get a lot closer. it looks better and the viewer can see what is going on. dont be too worried about skateboards flying at your lense cause the 8mm is such a tank. just make sure to anticipate them.

The 8mm is good, you should just try to get closer to the subject. The whole idea of the fisheye is to get close and keep the frame wide. Don't worry about being too close, you probably won't be.

The t3i doesn't have RAW for video thats only for photos. A camera such as the RED Epic of Weapon has RAW for video.
