mostly in skate films why do they put there hand in front of the camera after a good shot.  Hand claim?

my guess is that if the skater lands kinda sketchy, they cover the lens so if the guys falls on his ass, it wont be on camera. but if its a clean landing....possibly. could also just be a que to cut the film there, and someone kept it in b/c they thought it was cool

the filmer is pumped that his homeboy just landed his trick so he will show his stokeness to the camera

i am pretty sure they do it so when it comes time to edit and they are sorting through footage its easy to see the start and end of shots. Some people put it in the film but it is kind of cliche now.

It is to mark the spot on the camera. You can then see the end of each trick landed, the hand is easily recognizable when looking through the footage.

so that when you are logging in alot of footage you can just fast forward through all the falls and stop when you see the hand because that means its a usable clip....

Damn, now I'm gonna be up all night replaying my childhood (Yes, I, a 17 year old referred to my childhood) just to find the goddamn answer.  Is it next to the secret tape?
