An amazing week captured on GoPro cut up to some music. Enjoy and Go Hawks!

By Nate Lavey

In this week’s New Yorker Magazine, Nick Paumgarten explains the rise of GoPro, the company that makes “the ubiquitous small digital point-of-view cameras” used by athletes to capture their daredevil feats. In this video, Aaron Chase, a professional mountain biker, explains the unorthodox setup he devised to take his filmmaking beyond the simple head-mounted camera.

In the midst of GoPro Mountain Games in Vail, Colorado, Product Education team member Christopher Farro stops to give us some insight on what it takes to make a broadcast-ready GoPro course preview. After choosing an epic location – Steep Creek in Colorado – the most important thing is to ensure that you have the proper license agreements and permits to shoot your course preview. In this case, we have appearances from GoPro Production Artist, Nate Lee and GoPro Athlete, Rush Sturges.

Nate clues us in on how to get the best shots and angles of our athlete. For any POV shots that we are taking, Nate recommends 1440p/48fps, which gives us an opportunity to slow down the shots in post-production. Nate also walks us through prepping our cameras for water usage – using Floaty BacPacs and Camera Tethers for added security, and licking the lens prior to usage to help the water bead off of the lens.

After sending the selected athlete out on the course and capturing epic footage, it’s time to gather all of your footage and start editing! Make sure you have all of the licenses for your music, and then your Course Preview is finished!

For more insight on capturing the best footage out on the course, dig deeper into this Tips and Tricks series on YouTube to learn how to maximize your GoPro cameras and products.

As always, happy capturing!

In the second episode of the GoPro Field Guide, we meet up mountainside with Media Team members Abe Kislevitz and Caleb Farro to hear their take on Resolutions, Frame rates, and Fields of View. Abe walks us through the different resolutions, from 4K all the way down to WVGA and their respective frame rates. He clues us in about the best uses for each of the modes, from POV, follow cam, slo-motion and gear mounted shots, to the best modes for YouTube and Instagram videos. Abe points out that there is a trade off between high frame rate and high resolution.

Another option that GoPro users have to customize their footage is Field of View. Changing the Field of View between Wide, Medium, and Narrow is essentially the same thing as zooming in, but it does this by cropping in on the sensor instead of digitally zooming, which means higher quality footage. For the best results, Abe suggests having an end goal in mind and experimenting with different resolutions, frame rates, and fields of views to achieve this.
