Filming clips etiquette

No that is all good

Nah dude. Also, why would going over the lip be a better angle. Unless your lips are cat built super wide. then water send it. But otherwise rolling over the lip is pointless for the shot, less likely to be stable and beats up the lip depending on snow conditions.

Idk but usually just going slightly around it would ruin the shot, usually looks better even with wide angle/fisheye

How wide of a takeoff are we talking?

Shit I meant to say it wouldn’t ruin it lmao

friends don't let friends film vertically

You should just hit the feature if you’re hitting the lip. Makes for a sick angle and it’s fun lmao.

If it’s a follow I usually start midway on the feature and start motion as the skier is dropping in. Avoids fucking up the lip and keeps a good angle, also gives you speed to follow them into the next feature.


that being said don’t be afraid of longlens, when it’s filmed well it avoids your concerns and looks so proper

I do this alot filming people on tubes. Can just 50/50 right over and get pretty stable footage since you don't move


Was planning on coming up to springs to ski with ya but I'm stuck waiting for my knee to stop sucking atm sadly

there’s so many different angles you could get i don’t see why you would need to

Find a rail under a tree and perch up on a branch

idk but i’m fuckin sick of people asking for clips right when i get home after filming. Fuck off i haven’t even seen them why should you

So last week there was a friend of a friend who really wanted to film me for a few hours and literally filmed every single little thing I did. Normally that’s hella cool but I slammed hard asf earlier that day and just wanted to take it easy and didn’t really wanna be filmed. Regardless I get a literal terabyte of footage that night from him and don’t do anything with it because a lot of it is just meh and I don’t have time to sift through it all. Fast forward to today, I’m sitting on my couch scrolling through insta and I see a whole ass minute long reel edit he put together and posted to his own account with some whack ass music playing over it. No preview, no “hey can I use these clips for something?”, no mention of anything to me, I just had to see it for the first time on ig with everyone else. I told him to take it down and all I get is "dude this is fire, you already have like 200 views!"

Idk, I appreciate the effort I guess, maybe I’m bitter, but using someone else’s mediocre skiing for your own clout chasing on social media is pretty lame as far as filming etiquette goes.

Hundred percent agree. If you're filming someone and you want to use your clips of them, then you need to let them know what you have in mind at least. And then ideally show them a draft before you post to make sure they're happy w their clips.
