What Camera Zoom Do You Prefer?

[Roccityroller]

i dont understand why people only film the board and ankles while in 200

12 for wide
150-250 long, depending on the location, not the trick and what i want to do with the cam.

I don't go with a set mm for close or long. I know it's not exactly the most helpful bit of info but it's true. Depending on the trick and angle I just play with the mm and the cam distance until I find something I think looks good.

[i am a snail]

i experiment with a bunch of stuff, my lines are usually about 15mm, singe tricks are either 15mm or 200mm, and if i'm skating in a bowl or miniramp i usually do a bunch of zooming stuff.

lines= 15-16. I try to get as close and low as possible while keeping the whole guy in frame. A lot of times, when the line starts with a gap or handrail or something I start at the bottom or middle of the stairs with my camera zoomed in to about 100 and then zoom out to 15 for when he lands, only cause I don't like doing the owl cam thing over stairs/gaps. I don't mind it when other people do it, but I just don't like doing it myself. I do the same thing in reverse when the line ends with a gap/rail

long= 230-500 I used to try and do what demz did and move the camera around to keep my guy always in frame and have depth and all that, but lately i haven't been trying that as much, and kinda like it when you just see from the knees down. I have always felt that long lens has been my biggest weakness and still haven't really figured out any formula that I'm 100% happy with.


I do agree with Demz that Anchors wins when it comes to long lens. I still don't know how he makes everything look so good.
