From the video

Answers: How do you film and light a snowboard unboxing and preparation video?

• Snowboard video behind-the-scenes
• Camera movement and gimbals
• Backlighting techniques for video
• Lens whacking technique
• Macro lens closeups
• Transition overlays in editing

What it concludes

• Using a gimbal ensures smooth shots when motion requires walking more than a few steps.
• Backlighting a mist spray with an Aperture 120D without a diffuser creates dramatic effect.
• Increasing shutter speed to 1/400 at 120 frames per second adds a dramatic look to fast motion.
• Lens whacking creates interesting light leaks and flares for unique transitions.
• Using a film burn overlay helps hide cuts between similar clips to make transitions look more seamless.
