Fisheye in ski videos

Snowfinder made a thread similar to this, but I find it so annoying when vids have a fisheye to where you see the black in the corners. Normal fisheyes are fine. (it's also annoying when the camera is real close and low to the rail and moved back close to the rail after someone hits it, i thought this was a skate/snowboard thing??)

I think a little bit of vignetting in the corners is ok, when it goes all the way around it bothers me a lot though, same if it's a little off center, takes 5 seconds to fix by cropping it or zooming in a bit in post

exception: this lens

Vignetting is garbage. You only do it if you suck at filming.

is the fact that something is a skate/snowboard thing a reason to not do it in skiing? FYI almost everything in freestyle skiing is inspired by skating and snowboarding, all the way from the invention of the mute grab to track pants

I 100 percent agree. There are so many styles of skiing and within skiing that I think that if we all just accept peoples own creativity when it comes to skiing and filmmaking for that matter, we will all have a better community with more people vibing off, and getting inspired by eachother.

lol @ "normal fisheyes"

Vignetting is dope. Only thing that matters about fisheyes is how the person holding the camera uses it.

Agreed, but I just hate extreme vignetting to where the video looks like it was filmed through a tube. I just always thought that specific style of filming Belonged in skating/snowboarding for the most part

You don't have to make assumptions on others filming styles like Liam McKinley with HG some people like me actually like vigetting.

DAMN! that looks fresh as hell! Is that the actual lens making that effect? or was it done in post production cropping and inlaying the shot within itself

Okay sorry I am not saying it can't be done well, it's just often used by bad filmers as a crutch because it's the one technique they know of.

I personally love this style, it really did originate from skating but I thinks it's so sick
