Yeah it's true.. I heard the Bush administration now controls 80% of the worlds magic.

 
keep it simple, unless your a deomon using final cut pro, dont bother trying to change much. and wach other sports movies for inspiration. moto X and skating and at the forefront of editing and crazy camera angles. also make sure you have good footage, try to film only when its sunny but dont not film something just coz its overcast you can always make it black and white to cover for the bad colour, invest in a wide angle lens and a tripod, they will make all the difference. try not to edit the footage before you have even shot it, by that i mean dont use the effects that are on your camera, they are covered in the editing software. you can always zoom in on a shot while editing but you cant zoom out, so dont zoom in too much when filming. dont always film from the ground, climb a tree or dig a hole or take a ladder to get that cool angle. get some not skiing lifestyle, like dont just shoot people standing in the lift line and use that as your lifestyle, get them at home making toast or something like that.

hope that helped.

yeah i cant say say enough how important footage is. just film constantly cuz when u edit it, it goes away fast and you realize just how much u can't use.

just to give you an idea, when we we're filming our mtb video 4hours of footage would give us maybe 4 or so min of edited video. Kepp that and mind and do something over untill you land it and you know it will look good on film.

Get a Mac and Final Cut Pro or Final Cut Express. Film a lot, you will be surprised how little good footage you actually get from a few hours of video. Dont include a lot of weird transitions, keep it simple, work on a cool intro instead. Try to synchronize the audio and video. Plus all the stuff happywhenhard said.

 
LOTS AND LOTS AND LOTS of footage. it will make you crazy how fast your good footage gets used up, and you dont want to be forced to fill space with crappy footage if you run out.

if you are still filming make sure to mix up angles, it needs to be pleasing to the eyes or it will suck.

its not that drastic in 4 hours giving you 4 minutes. if its that way you suck at filming. its more of a 1 to 10 ratio. from how its been for me.

Obviously level1 and pbp and so on have to shoot a but load because they have to come up with some pretty kick ass movies but if you are just making one for fun it won't take as much as they are saying because you can probably only do so many tricks, film a lot though anyway

Thats nucking futs!
 
understand that your first film is not going to look like an msp flick. that doesn't mean that it has to blow, just know that filmmaking is a gradual process - the best way to learn is by experiencing it yourself. you're going to be a lot less frusterated with yourself if you know that producing good material is going to take a while.

Jackson sucks, tell your friends.

Opinions were like kittens, I was givin' em away.
 
First things first. As everyone else stated above, a ski film, or any film for that matter, isn't anything without the footage. So make sure you get a lot of it, and make sure its good in quality. You definitely want a good quantity to quality ratio. Once you have your footage make sure you have a decent to really good editor to work with, I suggest adobe premier and adobe after effects if you really want to spice it up. Next don't edit it to a cheesy death. Transitions are so lame sometimes. Just stick to producing an incredible soundtrack, have the footage and editing flow with the music. Definitely slow things down and stuff, but don't butcher it. Mainly the whole editing process will come out of your own creativeness. After that post it on here and see what everyone thinks

Me: So you like the big powder hits?

Cam Miller: Only when I am snorting them.
 
well it all depends on the style you are going for... matching the transitions and images to the beat of a song is kinda time consuming... not to mention very difficult... so do this... try to time a super short blast of white, like a short fade to white fade back in kinda deal. What Boyd Easley's part in 1242 and you will see wghat I mean. But yeah, try to stary away from title slides, and above all else get super creative.

oh, and 1-10 is a fair ratio, in forward there were alot of tricks that just barely missed the cut, right? and alot of space b4 and after the trick, so 10-1, or 1-10 is a good ratio, and probably average for most low low budget home made vids.

Quote of the week:Yeah, thanks Jodi's mom, for the blowjob... I always give in when she busts out the Werther's Originals!

 
I dont think that you guys will want to see it really when its done cause most of you are most likely alot better than my buddies and I (at least in the park). we can only do up to 540s and we rarely even land the 5's. we can however ski some pretty sick stuff but out east the only nice big mountain type stuff is in the trees witch is really hard to film in for more than a few seconds

alpinecowboy: i would say hes pretty good if his first film doesnt look like a msp flick.

 
^ fuck off.
