Ok so anyone with filming experience I would love your help I am keen on entering a video at my school film about kite surfing and surfing and the life of a teenage boy who loves the beach. I wanted to make it pretty or as professional as i can. So i need help on basically anything u can contribute on stuff like what camera to get gopro whatever u think at the moment i have a canon EOS, SLR camera awesome still pics not so sure about the filming though. What angels to shoot. i was hoping to make it about 20-30 minutes long and film all Christmas holidays I'd like to make it something really awesome like i don't know strapping a gopro to a remote control plane and flying it over the lagoon as the sun rises of as crew arrive film a time-lapse it or sunrise time-lapse I don't know.

Hey bro, I did a video for a school project back in year 9. i wasn't the best kitesurfer around, but i could manage some back-loops/spins and a few jumps. but tricks aren't everything. editing the video, like syncing it to music, using slow-motion shots at the right time and stuff helps make it a good video. i use Adobe Premier Elements to edit my vids. Now about the length of the video... people who don't kitesurf won't generally want to watch long videos so i would recommend doing 5 minutes of quality kitesurfing in a vid maximum. about the camera, we just use a normal Sony HQ video camera and mount it on a tripod for stability. I wouldnt get too keen for gopros and stuff like that because the footage might not be as good quality. here's a couple of my vids:



^^^(most recent one)

and



^^^(2 years ago, back in year 9...just realised how often i crashed lol)

This is just what i do. there is really no 'right' way with videos, it's whatever you feel is good. have fun man. hope this helped you out

Hey, I made a skydiving movie a couple years ago, and I basically started with songs in my mind, and fitted footage to it - I agree with all Janowsk said esp about syncing it to music and use slo-mo in certain parts - I filmed a couple of skits too so there was lots of sick footage and some laughs - also make sure you include some spectacular stacks!!! Experiment with different titles/ fades, but make sure the music is spine tingling!!! good luck I'd be keen to see it!
