Pro-Tip: The biggest challenge to shooting these types of sports is to make the talent look like they possess professional skills. Think about unique angles that put the viewer in the action. For instance, attaching a GoPro to the helmet or skis of the athlete. Besides capturing POVs, turn the GoPro lens toward the talent as they negotiate their next move. Get your coverage, but remember to move with your camera and get as close to the action as possible. On the other hand, if you’re a licensed drone pilot, we would definitely welcome aerials on these themes.
Casting Considerations: Gender and race diversity. Authenticity and diversity will play an important role in the success of your shoot.
