GoPro: Beyond the Race – Episode 1

 

The Race Starts Here

Get a glimpse of what’s to come with behind the scenes access of your favorite riders. Episode 1 provides new insights and behind-the-scenes footage from the most famous spring classic Paris-Roubaix, or better known as The Hell of The North.

The ‘Hell of the North’ is known as the hardest one day race in the world. It was first run in 1896 and has stopped only for two world wars. The race was created by two Roubaix textile manufactures. The terrain of the race has led to the development of specialized frames, wheels and tires.

Use Your GoPro Like a Pro

The snow is falling, you’ve waxed your skis or snowboard, you unwrapped a shiny new GoPro this holiday season, and now you are ready to tackle the mountain, capturing every moment of snow-shredding fun. Your goggles are on, coat is zipped…Now what?

How do you get the most out of your GoPro and still focus on the ride? Let’s check out a few tips and tricks to get you down the mountain and back in the lodge with some cool clips and pics!

 

So let’s review:

  • Start with 1080p resolution–while it may not be the highest resolution setting, it is ultra versatile, offers an array of frame rates, and looks great on Youtube and Vimeo.
  • Introduce your setting
  • Introduce the character (you!) with some selfies
  • Shoot at 120fps with your HERO4 Black to get the most dramatic slow motion
  • For head-mounted shots, use 60fps
  • Handheld shots can be shaky, so bump up your frame rate (60+fps) to smooth it out in post-production
  • End your video on a high note!
