i film in 8
fish: 14mm
long: between 75 and 130ish. i rarely go higher.
i never use anything inbetween.
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.

SO ALL YALL NIGGAS SAYIN I FILM LIKE BULLET, fuck yall, i hella owl cam that shit up.
MUTHAFUCKAS
llove you 2 <3
i also started filming in 360, aka 1mm it's hecka amazing
a healthy dose of 10 mm, low, obviously, if it's a really good trick I'll get the cams in a semi straight line and put the skater right dead in the center so I have the whole trick in frame and then I'll go back marker by marker and tweak the pan without physically moving the position of the filmer, until the hands, feet, legs, and board fill the corners of the screen, especially on filthy landings.
I've also been filming in 13 mm recently, less distortion than 10 but almost all the same benefits.
180 for stationary cams with full depth of field, and about 110 for moving long lens cams, with the occasional 300 mm cam when I get bored, but 300 can be really finicky.
Occasionally I use a "zoom drop cam" ( I have no idea what to call this because I don't film in real life) Usually a Zoom Out, I usually move the camera from a birds eye view straight to the ground starting with maybe 180 mm all the way 10 mm on the landing.
