Tips 'n' Tricks for videofilming under non-normal conditions

The camera and the water

Buy a pelicase !!! these boxes are really worth the money. they are waterproof and crash-proofen.

it's a good idea to put some Silica Gel in the box, because the gel reduces the water in the box.

before you open the box, try to dry your hands (warm rocks or wind are good for this)

Filming when it's wet'n'cold

use both hands to hold the camera and if it is possible put your ellbows on the ground to build a 'human' tripod

build a tripod with your hands

How to catch the action ...

well - first of all. practise practise and again practise.
But there some things to remember :

  • move your body to the water
  • shot every person from a different position. this will make the video more attractive
  • talk to the sportsman what he wants to try so you know where and when the cool stuff will happen
