As rob noted there may be a limited audience for such as this. I was curious about some of your shots, was your camcorder attached to a skate board as the video followed the action? Was that a fish eye lens or a lens adaptor attached to your cam lens? Once again, well done, keep shooting. </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/warehouse-skateboarding-montage#post-73057 Sun, 04 Dec 2011 08:38:03 +0000 robGRAUERT 73057@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>It's cool for what it is. If you're just trying to make videos with you and your friends, this is a job well done. However, if you want to work professionally, skate videos just have little to no respect.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/warehouse-skateboarding-montage#post-73056 Sun, 04 Dec 2011 08:29:30 +0000 SL1 73056@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p><a href="http://vimeo.com/33104252">http://vimeo.com/33104252</a></p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/best-setting-for-sports#post-52804 Wed, 02 Dec 2009 16:07:37 +0000 grinner 52804@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> ditto. you can strobe in post if you want a film look but you have to have the information on tape to do it preset auto is yer buddy for action sports.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/best-setting-for-sports#post-52771 Tue, 01 Dec 2009 18:34:17 +0000 Derek_Sine 52771@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>4:3 - stay away from frame mode, looks good, but can limit you if you wanted to slow down some footage. </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/best-setting-for-sports#post-52752 Tue, 01 Dec 2009 08:05:48 +0000 XTR-91 52752@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>You should judge whether or not to shoot 16:9 by your primary audience, in terms of what most likely they will be using. This is kind of a tricky one if your shooting for TV - nearly equal fractions of the population (currently) are using Standard CRTs and HDTVs. I'd pick the aspect ratio in which you feel more comfortable getting your shots better. Since it's not in HD and the camera doesn't shoot 16:9 natively, I'd go with 4:3.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/best-setting-for-sports#post-52746 Tue, 01 Dec 2009 03:08:27 +0000 robGRAUERT 52746@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I have never gotten a good explanation of what frame mode is on that camera. If I remember correctly, the manual says it's so you can analyze your video frame by frame. So I'm guessing it's some attempt at imitating progressive scanning video, although I've never read anything stating that it's truly progressive. So I doubt is.</p> <p>I used to use that camera in high school to shoot sports after school ever day. So I assure you that shooting in "Normal" mode is just fine. It's just good ol' 60i.</p> <p>As for the aspect ratio, whoever told you shooting 16:9 is bad for sports doesn't know what they're talking about. Your aspect ratio doesn't make something easier or harder to shoot, it's just simply a different option. So shoot whatever aspect ratio you want. </p> <p>Technically, 4:3 is the better option because the GL2 doesn't natively shoot 16:9, but no one will notice any degrading of the image if you shoot 16:9. </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/best-setting-for-sports#post-52744 Mon, 30 Nov 2009 23:34:48 +0000 Lukinharocha 52744@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I have a canon gl2, and I'm doing a project for the community TV, and i don't know the best settings for recording sports, skateboarding mostly. Some people said 16:9 with frame mode is the best for sports, but then someone said the frame mode slows frame rate down, and then 16:9 would not be good for sports. Since this is the first time I'm doing a skateboard video for TV i don't know the best settings.</p> <p>If you could share the one you think would be the best setting for sports, putting in mind that i am doing it for TV.</p> <p>Thanks</p> <p> </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/mountable-mics-good-for-filming-skateboarding#post-47590 Sat, 06 Jun 2009 06:29:51 +0000 qre 47590@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>What about these mics?</p> <p> </p> <p><a href="http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/shop/8902/Consumer_Microphones_Shotgun_On_Camera_Mics.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/shop/8902/Consumer_Microphones_Shotgun_On_Camera_Mics.html</a></p> <p> </p> <p>I'm on a budget, and the shotguns you mentioned are too expensive.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/mountable-mics-good-for-filming-skateboarding#post-47589 Sat, 06 Jun 2009 04:34:00 +0000 butterflyguy 47589@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I know they make shotgun mics with 1/8" plugs since I have one, but it's a cheapy and certainly not professional. </p> <p>If you just want fair audio quality, I'd just use the microphone that's part of the camera.</p> <p>If you want to do interviews, I'd get a "good" microphone and an adapter like Rob says - I've got that setup also.</p> <p>I usually video from a tripod and the adapter attaches easily to the tripod.</p> <p>Go to <a href="http://www.bhphotovideo.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.bhphotovideo.com</a> and search for "shotgun" they have all sorts of good shotgun microphones.</p> <p> </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/mountable-mics-good-for-filming-skateboarding#post-47584 Fri, 05 Jun 2009 22:17:01 +0000 robGRAUERT 47584@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>have you ever seen a shotgun that plugs into an 1/8" jack?

Whats the big deal?

I'll be talking into it, but I will also be shooting skateboarding videos very often. I know VERY little about this stuff. So what you recommend? </p> <p>Thanks!</p>
