Just watch Fritte's stuff. Fritte is the fuckin' truth.
notice the skater's entire body almost NEVER goes out of frame in this entire video^ I agree, this guy does a great job at capturing the spot + the skater. feels like you get a good understanding of the spot + the steez in every clip.
with fisheye you have a tiny bit more leniency because the top of their body is so distorted its not a huge deal if it goes out of frame for a sec but i think ideally you still want to try and capture the arms.
that red bull clip was so bad because they were zooming IN on the feet when they should have been zooming OUT as the skater was getting closer so we could continue to see the arms and head throughout the landing.
if you are filming long lense I think you should be focusing on keeping the skater entire body as big as possible in the frame while still capturing the spot correctly. a lot of times on certain spots i dont like when i only have 1 angle because i like to have 1 angle where we can just see the spot in 1 frame in all it's glory. If the spot is very large, and we to try and shoot the clip this way, the skaters body will be very tiny
and cant see any of the steez. so sometimes what i'll do is just try and get a roll up angle from the "establishing shot" and then my actual filming angle I will do something that we don't necessarily need to focus on the spot so much anymore because the audience understands where we are now - we can just focus on how the guy handled it.
not trying to claim like this is anything unique that i do by any means i think its pretty common sense, but hopefully helps someone out there
