That made my day. With all the advances in technology these days, seeing something that brings the “magic” into filming again with a fairly “low tech” approach (not computer driven) really warms my heart. Stuff like this is why I got into the creative field. Thanks so much!

Sorry for my ignorance, but I like the fly of the camera, it could be to much, but that’s the function of a steadycam… to fly.

Can’t say much for the music, but that’s a sick video!

OT: that guy and his assist are AGILE.. that was impressive footwork to say the least.
&
Dale T., just to clarify.. That shooting angle (and lower) has been used by skateboarders for decades using everything from home-rigged steady arms to production gear. Props to your buddy for getting work, but it’s nothing revolutionary. Jus’ sayin’

Great shot. To me the incredible part of this was the transition from segway to the stage. That to me was the best part of this whole thing that I still can’t believe.

One of my friends is perfecting the technique using a glidecam on rollerblades. This technique has been used in the x-games for years but now with introduction of the DLSR’s the filming can get amazing smooth. He filmed this competition warm-up

Then glide cam saw it, sponsored him, flowed his a bunch of gear then he made this
for a promo video with one of the smoothest skaters around Victor Aries

Now he shoots weddings with it when he can and bridal shoots where there is concrete.
Here is another video of Vinny shooting the intro of the TV show House following a skateboarder. A shooting angle not achieved using anything else up to date.
