its summer obviously, so the time has come to start filming skateboarding.

anyone have any useful tips or tricks they use while filming?

my biggest problem now is that my footage is always overexposed (i film with a canon 60d btw)
 
when im filming, its super bright out, so everything looks properly exposed because my eyes have adjusted to the light. however, when i look through my clips on the computer, they're all overexposed.
 
perhaps getting a lcd viewfinder may help your bring sunshine exposing problem? I just picked up one on amazon for 25$ and it isnt the best build/quality but it gets the job done and serves its purpose.

Magic lantern is a firmware hack. Basically what happens is you put it on your card, then install it onto your camera. It opens up a new world of functions that you would only find on dedicated video cameras. I would suggest using it. Just watch a walk through on how to install it and be careful. You won't regret it.
 
that looks really good. i noticed in the second video on the page the guy said to "clear the picture settings". would i be able to get those settings back if need be?
 
pretty sure the one I got is one that he describes as a "bad clone." however like I said, for 30$ shipped to my door it is more than worth the money. I used it today filming some cliff jumping and was very pleased with how it worked.
