View Full Version : why do you put your hand in front of the lens xXSkater14Xx 04-10-2008, 04:13 PM Why do people put there hand in front of the lens when someone does a stair set or something and after they land they put their hand infront of it. whats that mean? GNAR 04-10-2008, 04:14 PM That gets on my nerves. If it's a sick trick or something, that's great, I will understand that. You don't have to shove your hand in front of the lens for me to notice. xXSkater14Xx 04-10-2008, 04:18 PM On youtube there was something that said it was for you to know if that was a laned trick or not when your editing everything...? skullfire1002 04-10-2008, 04:49 PM Yeah its so that when you import the footage to the computer you don't have to watch everything. you just look for a hand then capture the land. GNAR 04-10-2008, 04:53 PM Well, that makes good sense then. But why not edit it out? xXSkater14Xx 04-10-2008, 04:58 PM ^Yeah, and wouldn't you have to look through all the videos anyways to find the on with a hand? Sonix 04-10-2008, 05:39 PM Well usually you put your hand some time after so you can edit it out without sudden change of the trick or whatever your doing. (in movie) Well all you have to do is fast forward and when you see the hand you know thats the land. If you wouldn't show the hand you would have to watch one by one to find the landed one. Black Label 04-10-2008, 05:41 PM Yeah its so that when you import the footage to the computer you don't have to watch everything. you just look for a hand then capture the land. True. Well, that makes good sense then. But why not edit it out? Probably someone did it once and everybody else thought it looked cool. skaterr365 04-15-2008, 06:44 AM Probably someone did it once and everybody else thought it looked cool. that proabaly exactly what happened Preston951 04-15-2008, 01:26 PM cool i learned something!! habitatSam 04-15-2008, 05:39 PM Well usually you put your hand some time after so you can edit it out without sudden change of the trick or whatever your doing. (in movie) Well all you have to do is fast forward and when you see the hand you know thats the land. If you wouldn't show the hand you would have to watch one by one to find the landed one. well you have to look through them anyway, and you will see the land before the hand. (ryhmes). but i think people do it cause it looks weird with a fisheye swordman540 04-15-2008, 05:41 PM Show off their muscular hand. lemons7 04-15-2008, 05:56 PM well you have to look through them anyway, and you will see the land before the hand. (ryhmes). but i think people do it cause it looks weird with a fisheye You don't have to look through them. Like sonix said, fast foward. You can barely tell what's going on if it's at 8x or something. A 5 second hand shot shows up prominently though. But yes, that's what it's for. People don't edit it out probably because they want to add emphasis to the trick. Like, the hand adds intensity. Iunno, that's how I take it in. But it never works, since nowadays it's the kids who suck who keep it in. I personally don't do the hand thing, unless it was as a joke (SHOOP DA WHOOP). I go through all my footy and pick what I want to montify. OH SNAP. Berishman 04-15-2008, 06:04 PM You don't have to look through them. Like sonix said, fast foward.

I go through all my footy and pick what I want to montify. OH SNAP. I guess this only applies to all you lucky people with real video cameras then? Because with my digital camera I usually just start filming before they do the trick, and then stop a few seconds later.. and that makes a clip on the video.. and if i was to go through and just record the whole day with out hitting stop..then i see the land before the hand? hanyo66 04-15-2008, 06:48 PM half hand FTW blankboard42 05-05-2008, 05:33 PM Why do people put there hand in front of the lens when someone does a stair set or something and after they land they put their hand infront of it. whats that mean? The real reason is because it means cut the clip here. But most people just do it because they think they do it to look cool. GoSkate 05-05-2008, 05:35 PM cuz their hand is amazingly awesome hokus pokus 05-07-2008, 08:53 AM this has most likely been answered 5 million times already, but here it goes.... the hand in the lens is for marking the landed footy. when you film, you have to go back through the footage to capture the landed tricks. instead of watching it in normal time and nearly falling asleep, you watch it in faster time and look for the hand in front of the lens... this is a trick you want to capture to your comp. the hand is supposed to be edited out for the final production. Frontside flip 05-07-2008, 09:03 AM Yeah its so that when you import the footage to the computer you don't have to watch everything. you just look for a hand then capture the land. true.

You don't have to shove your hand in front of the lens for me to notice. Dude it's for DV camera's it's not Hardrive so you have to RR and FF thru footage so the parts with the hand are landed tricks... Pearso 05-11-2008, 06:55 AM Wtf. I have a crappy photo camera that takes amazingly good videos, and whenever there's a non land I just delete it straight away. I only ever keep the lands or stomps/really close attempts. xXSkater14Xx 05-11-2008, 10:02 AM ^Thats what i do now with my sisters digi cam hokus pokus 05-14-2008, 09:21 AM Wtf. I have a crappy photo camera that takes amazingly good videos, and whenever there's a non land I just delete it straight away. I only ever keep the lands or stomps/really close attempts. you can do that with you photo cam, but its not that easy when you are using mini dv or hdv and filming more than one person... also, i NEVER go over footage on a tape.. you lose quality and you may accidentally erase a dope trick or part of a line anyways, the hand in front of the lens is to mark landed footage for putting it on the comp. bustedbearings 05-17-2008, 01:24 PM I honestly don't know, but I think it's sick whenever they do it and it's there for almost a second and the scene ends and continues on with whoever's part I'm watching. Not just holding some limp hand there for me to see... EDIT: Oh, I guess hokus pokus just ****ing told us huh... lol with meh mad rhymes.. goosenberries 06-14-2008, 03:58 PM its a editing technique used to mark footage.
