[fillup]

why?

 

[ECM]

try white balancing off a few different things. everything will give it a different tint.

 

[fillup]

ya oviously

i heard that whitebalancing with give very natural color

will it work in both low light and sunny

 

[kingarthurs]

good luck hitting cliffs inbounds if your skiing at alta

 

[tito_skier]

use a tripod or have a very steady arm

no one likes watching shaky video it blows

 

[Holte]

just carry a piece of (heavy) white paper with you for white balancing.

be patient

 

[EastCoastGlory]

try not to land on it if your gonna be skiing with it....

 

[fillup]

well yeah but it would be easy just to white balance off the snow

 

[fillup]

why

 

[snocompton]

use a tripod whenever u can. Always use a fucking tripod. It will make everything perfect. The only time you shouldnt be using a tripod is if your doing a follow cam.

how do i use a tripod in pow?

do i just have to stomp out a platform?

 

[kingarthurs]

they are all roped off, and they will pull your pass if you duck them

 

[skibum1854]

yeah, it takes 2 seconds, you dont need one if you are like in the trees or somthing shoots fairly close to them, like front face shots. but if it is long distance, you def need a tripod.

 

[fillup]

thats why you have to be sneaky

have you had you pass pulled?

there is a good 10-15ft cliff in vail ridge you duck the ropes but you cant get pass pulled because you can access if from through the gates at vail ridge

and theres diving board too

experience. film as much as you can and you will figure it out in time. try new angles, and buy a fisheye lense for up close shots and follow cams.

i film skating im just asking bout skiing

not how to film in general

how to specific film skiing

my advice for filming kickers is to get shots from several hundred yards away from an opposite ridge or opposite side of the gully. Then zoom wide so the person is pretty small. When I am filming that is my favorite place to be.
