VIDEOS: Skateboard videos are, as their name suggests, videos of skateboarding. Skate boarding companies will often hire a filmers for their videos. The filming is a crutial part of skate videos. They can make the skateboarder look even better. There is a whole science to skateboard filming and many different techniques to filming. Fisheye lenses are often used because they give a wider viewing angle alowing more of the skater to be seen in the shot. Skateboard filming can be done stationary or they can be following a skateboarder on a board. These boards usually have softer wheels so that you cant hear their wheels rolling and so that they don't catch their wheels on a pebble or crack and fall (and damage the often expensive cameras) Skateboard videos are released in different formats. They can be released on DVD (also on VHS, but not as much nowdays.) They can also be released on the internet on a companies youtube channel or website. TV: There have been a few t.v. shows about skateboarding. They are often reality shows about a pro skater. Skateboarding t.v. shows are sometimes frowned upon since people think they are part of "selling out" and cashing in on skateboarding.
