Well everyone post your tips, to have a good video. If you have an opinion or don't like something say it here.

1. Pick a song that fits your video, fast high beat song is for fast skating.

If you have a lot of clips from one spot spread them out. Nobody likes watching the same thing over and over.

Depends how you edit it. For example, Greg Lutzka's part in Almost Round 3 where they show like 15 different tricks on this 7-8 rail. Edit it fast at a quicker riff in the song. Bam, watchable.

editting is very important, you can use any kind of music you wnat just as long you can edit ur clips into it well

merging 2 posts

dont use slow mo too much, like if you doing a double kickflip then a normal kickflip, theres no need to put slow mo on the normal kick, use it on the double

Heres another tip, dont repeat too many things, like if you do a tre over a 2 set, dont put the same clip in except maybe do slow mo, it doesnt give a proffessional feeling and doesnt look like good video

Have at least one chick in a bikini in your video. That always works.

yeah don't put slow-mo too much.

Also you might want to put slow motion at least once in the beginning and in the middle of a video, but only put slow motion when its a really good trick.

Have enough footy for the actual video and make sure the videos actually worth making. Dont make a video like i once saw of lil kids ollieing on and off curbs for half an hour. Make sure you have worth filming tricks and lines and that your not making a deadline and going crazy because your not getting paid its just for fun.

Make a list of the tricks you want in it, then go out and skate your heart out and get them on film.
