How To Stop Filming Like Bill Strobeck
« on: March 09, 2021, 10:34:29 AM »
We've all been there: you purchase a P2 camera, you watch Blessed and Cherry and then one day you're out filming and you think "just once I'll just zoom in dead close to the skaters face, nearly miss the trick and then zoom back in again" well shit I've been there too. This stupid little tutorial should help you out

This should be mandatory viewing if you wish to make a career filming skateboarding.

the telephoto effect really does look sick when it's not abused. it's an incredible level of detail to get for a prosumer camcorder.

I'm kind of a fan of people who frame up a spot thinking like a photographer, and maybe start zooming into the action when the skater enters the frame. There was a couple examples of that in Godspeed, i think Andres garcia is the one who filmed a lot of that. Also Greg Hunt's tripod framing for Propeller really shows professional use of that camera.

I accidentally strobecked a clip just the other day. I was filming some other people walking and the skater went before I was set so I had to just go with it. I mostly hate that style because it's so easy to miss the actual trick, but surprisingly it turned out fine.

In summary, great video OP, valuable content.

Accidental Strobecking is acceptable sometimes if you can pull it off, purposeful Strobecking is a danger to the environment.

Dan Wolfe did it better in 96.

This is a great example, and the difference here is it's not SUPER tight. I think that's where people are screwing up the technique lately.
