The GoPro revolution has taken over. Everywhere on the mountain you can see these tiny high quality gadgets affixed to helmets, mounted on chest straps, attached to selfie sticks and more!
If you are like most people you have captured some great moments on these gadgets but have never done anything with the footage.

Remember the quality of your video depends on the quality of your footage. You cannot simply just get on the slopes and let the camera roll until the battery runs out (which it will very fast).
Here are some tips:
-
The wide-angle lens requires you to get VERY VERY close to your subject. The closer you are the better but remember to keep a safe following distance.
-
If you have the camera mounted on your helmet be mindful of the angle. We receive a lot of footage of the top of someone’s helmet or the sky. Have your companions check to see if the angle is right or even better hook the camera up to the smart phone app so you can see exactly what your camera sees! For newer cameras you may have either a viewfinder adapter or a view finder attached to the camera.
-
Selfie sticks get some great shots; you want to be mindful of others around you and trees! Remember to make sure your angle of your arm is out about 90 degrees. We receive footage of people whose arms are too high or too low which give us shots of the sky or the ground.
-
If you are posted up somewhere waiting for a friend to come off a jump or feature remember to be mindful where you are. Do not stop under a chair lift, right at the bottom of a feature or under a roller so others can’t see you when you are coming down. It is easy to get wrapped up in the moment but it is always safety first.
-
Don’t just turn on the camera and let it run until the battery runs out. Batteries last about 2-3 hours in these compact cameras so you will need to turn the camera on and off to get clips.
-
Don’t forget to get shots of the views, town, hanging out on the chair lift, chilling in the trees, giving high fives ect! Having these types of shots not just of people going down slopes will make the video more robust and memorable. Keep the camera steady for these shots and don’t move much.
-
Plan the shots that you want to get with your friends and family. This process can be fun and will make your footage much better quality.
-
Editing a video takes a lot of raw footage. Generally a 3 minute video came from about 1-2 hours of raw footage depending on how good the operator was at getting the clips.
