whats so funny about filming skating? and OP you just got ripped off so hard. you can make a handle for like $6, and the light is pretty useless.

Because its boring, unoriginal and so fucking played out. Putting on a fisheye and getting as close as possible with horrible vignette is beating a dead horse, for 10 years.

I don't get how thats funny at all. I made one edit and used too much vignette, have i done it since? Yeah i had a 20mm lens with my redrock that had horrible vignette, i have sold it since. Im talking about the sharp edge vignette you get from death lenses that every skate filmer has, its fucking so shitty.

>implying that everyone who shoots skiing uses a GoPro.

there are people who actually put time and effort into their edits. and use real cameras, not hand me down VX1ks that they paid too much for.

But that's the thing, 95% of edits are all the same, all that's used is a fisheye then, the Filmer follows the skateboarder. It's very rare that you come across a really GOOD skateboard edit.
