I ride with a bunch of friends and my brother so I’ll let them know what feature I wanna film next lap and they usually say yes

My friends miss iPhone follow cakes

no hes 50 so i get like 2 clips a season

Hey man. Just talk to people at the drop in, on the chairlift etc. You'll meet people to ski with and film with. Honestly honestly I'm busy with work or it's a screamer pow day I'm down to grab a clip for even the most random person in the park.

Meant to say "If I'm not" I blame my lack of typing skills on getting mauled by two puppers, a screaming baby(not mine) and 1985's finest cell phone.

Ill film u

usually ask a homie, if not i try to get to know someone else at the park. but nothing beats shretting for the soul

i've had random people ask me to film them in the park and they'll return the favour. somewhat of a exchange of services

I ask my homies who don't really ride much park and then feel bad about having them wait around for me to get a cleaner version of the trick I was attempting and end up with 4 shitty clips for the whole season - if I'm lucky

(:

My friends

i literally don’t have friends so no one

shout out to whomever was the marketing photographer at snowbird around the time of April 2017 who snapped a pic of me skiing a fresh line off of my favorite chair. Thats about it as far as footage goes.

One time my friend had to go to work at 2ish so I was riding by myself and trying to hype myself up to ask lilapplesauce to ski with me. Well she also left and I had gotten pretty drunk and ballsy in the process so I asked a group of snowboarders to film my first dub attempt on a park jump cus they were already filming their other buddy.

I wiped tf out and was too embarrassed to get the footy so I just skied off. Somehow, on closing day they spotted me and we all swapped info and i got the clip. But lesson is, you can ask anybody to film you and you might end up with some new riding buddies as well.

Literally no one. I have like 3 photos and one video from the past 3 years. But I'm trash and like filming more anyways

filming you is what your brother who don’t really care about skiing is for

Ya clip for clip/run for run is the way to go. Offer to film first and whoever you’re asking should be stoked. If they flake out, at least you got some practice filming.

If you do get the opportunity, be sure to communicate clearly how you want them to film - become the director and make decisions based on skill level (riding and filming skill). If the rider is solid, try a follow cam, if not so solid post them up on the knuckle or close to where the action’s happening so they can focus on the shot instead of trying to keep up/dodge Jerry’s.

Keep guesswork to a minimum. Communication is key! Whenever I follow cam somebody I take at least a couple minutes to talk about the route, what trick(s) they’re doing, escape plan if shit goes south, where they’re taking off/landing and if they’re carving off the lip or going straight etc.

follow cams always look better and work out better if the filmer is beside or slightly in front of the rider. A few reasons for this but a big one is snow spray getting on the lens - messes up the shot and can damage the camera depending on what it is.

If posting up, make sure they know you’re dropping in and are set up and ready to shoot. Within earshot, use your voice to communicate. Out of earshot rely on pre-discussed hand signals.

I run film camps for kids and it’s really easy for the young ones to get distracted and just drop in on a whim, meanwhile their buddy is still turning on the GoPro or wiping their phone lens and the shot is missed. I like to let them make these mistakes and learn on their own tho, that way they become more self reliant ;)

young shredders are usually keen af to swap film laps tho. They just need some wisdom dropped.

My snowboarding homie and I toss the GoPro back n forth between runs. We warm up, get ALL the clips we want, and then put it away so we can enjoy the rest of the day. It used to be like pulling teeth with my friends just to get one clip, but I understand. People don’t wanna waste too many runs holding the camera for you, especially if they can’t do cool tricks that are worth recording… and u can’t blame them!


Tip: Make sure u always offer to film ur friends FIRST, just out of curtesy, and always hype them up so they’re excited about getting clips in general.

theres a kid at killi thats quite good and his dad films him, he does a great job. one time i met him on the lift and he showed me an edit he filmed and he even offered to film me cuz i had my friends gopro in my hand bc he was in the bathroom atm.

if you need a filmer, just offer to a film a tik tok clip for the 1st kid you see with a USSA sticker on their helmet. You film them and then they film you ez.
