zerocool22 Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Hello, You all have probably seen the gif where a guy spins his camera 360 degrees and follows a kickflip so when playing the video out the camera follows the movement of the deck. Which is a cool in camera trick but would it not be easier and smoother to just do this in post these days shoot +4K resolution. And just spin the image 360 in post? Or would that not result in the same effect? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jagnje Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Stick the camera on a flycam, face it upward, hold it horizontal, ride, flip it, be famous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to stay on somewhat the same position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagnje Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 I don't think you you understood my right, nor did I explain it very well hard to put it in words. I could do an explainer video, but in a month or so ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't tell if this was done in post or not, definitely done way before the Colin Reed video though. zerocool22 and webrunner5 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JurijTurnsek Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 If you ever done a trick on a skateboard, timing is everything. A single flatground trick lasts less that a second and the duration of the clip. The degraded IQ (zoomed in?) and Ty Evans' general affliction of all new gear, I would imagine he used a Phantom camera. Spinning that beast with exactly the same speed as the skateboard, triggering the spin at the exact same moment (we are talking miliseconds here), while nailing the manual focus seems highly improbably. There is the 1% chance it was done this way, just because a professional skateboarder would be able to a few hundred takes with such a basic trick if needed.

I have seen similar shots in camera with just a handheld move, just spin the camera on your arm. Not as great as the Lakai video offcourse, which is indeed a phantom camera with a bolt probably.

I’m not sure you’d see a huge difference if they did or didn’t do it that way - the lines are so straight. Like you said, it would take a ton of tries to trigger at the right time. The super wide fisheye is what really makes the clip from Colin Reeds video look cool. You can also add that 4:3 is much better for this effect, since the rotation is nearly symmetrical and center focused, rather than the slightly awkward 16:9 rotating frame.

This was shot wide and cropped into. BenEricson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kye Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Definitely done in post. Yet another example of when a capture resolution / format should be much higher than the output format. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anna2008 Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 I have just bought a AKASO EK7000 Action Camera. So can it use to follow a kickflip? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
