equipment

[Blind Sheppard]

well iv just ordered my camera and i was wonderin wot sort of equipment i shud buy for it like fish eye and stuff

[mikejl29]

Link doesnt work. Whatever camera it is... dont get a fisheye right now. First get a tripod, spare batteries and tapes, and possibly a bag to hold it all in. DONT USE A FISHEYE YET!!! wait for a good 4 months or so and learn some composition.

iv already got a tripod which is pretty good but i no wot u mean about the batteries cos wen we used my mates camera the battery ran down quick.

[mikejl29]

Get the biggest one or couple or as many as you can afford.

Actually, If You're a serious filmer, like me, then yeah, geta fisheye, it makes things look so much more interesting, depending on how you use it, i recommend it just for chase views, and stair gaps. Tripods are good for far away shots. And if you want some night footy, then get a skate lamp. They are only 40 bucks, and they really make your vid interesting. I spent well over $1,000 dollars on equip. including 2 cameras, a fisheye, tipod, and skate lamp.

good luck!

No, Mike meant that he should learn how to film first, then get a fisheye.

i no how to film and stuff, iv got a shit old camera and iv used my mates mini dv

[mikejl29]

Are you sure you know how to film without the camera shaking all over the place? Do you roll up to a spot and think of an interesting way to capture the shot? Overheads are really cool, try them out.

wev tried loads of different stuff, wev been doin different ways of filmin since we got a camera and we were crap at skatin. stuff from above looks good but can b hard to do i find cos the only place we usually can find to stand on is a roof which usualy has a camera on
