Faster shutter and stepped down or nd filters and wide open.

personally I think fast shutter speed shots looks super unprofessional and are hard to watch, especially panning shots. Natural motion blur to separate foreground from background is key so I never bump my shutter more than a few stops past double the frame rate. I really need to invest in ND filters so I can open my aperture back up a bit

IMO doubling your shutter is almost too slow for action, everyone harps about it but I shoot 1/180 when shooting 60p, shooting double your shutter is just the minimum for video. You dont NEED to shoot 1/125 for 60p, period. Hell back in the day when I was first shooting, id do 1/1000 and you cant notice the difference between that and 1/250. Some people prefer the motion blur but sometimes i find doubling to be too slow.

I used to shoot with a 1.2ND for sunny days, 1/180 shutter and usually f5.6-f8. example:

Without an ND i'll shoot 1/180 and f11-f16. example:

Shooting 5.6 or higher with a wide lens, you focus will nearly be at infinity so everything will be in focus except within 2-3ft in front your lens and at that point with a follow cam you're cutting off heads or feet. This obviously changes if youre shooting longer than 24mm but you'll be in a more controlled setting (like a tripod or hand held) than you would be follow camming.

Hope this helps, feel free to any any other questions.

Not sure if there are any downsides to this but I personally think filming at f22 with a decently high shutter speed (200-400) looks pretty cool.

I found I liked the look of 180 on the shutter speed when I filmed skate and just normal cinema stuff so i think it'll work good with skiing. I personally could notice the difference in the two videos but that may be I know what to look for in the footage to spot the changes, it makes me come to my point im gonna bring up for this guy below.

Diffraction of your lens, it will create artifacts/ weird vignettes in the video. Lens have sweet spots for the sharpest image and decreases the more you step down you will lose over all sharpness in a photography stand point. My 10-18 is sharpest from f8-11. The rest are a little softer, my 24 prime is sharpest at 5.6 and good across the board but 18-22 muddles the images.
