You Kinda need a fisheye to film in the conventional way... But you could just do long lens for now. Just be difficult to follow the skater and/or do lines

Check out a series called 'In Focus' on the RIDE channel on youtube. Tells you all the tips and tricks and how to get nice footage .

I think you can get fisheye filters pretty cheap, they are pretty crucial in filming skateboarding. As it allows you to get very close to the skater.

I dont really know that much about filming skateboarding but i hope this kinda helped. Just check out some stuff on youtube and the videos that they have on the ride channel.

Yah I've watched that series but it doesn't really help me because I have a camcorder but I can still use a long lens.Do you know any cheap places for around 60 pounds maybe?

who cares about the camera as long as the quality is decent i mean lurknyc is my favorite channel and the filmer uses a vhs camera, same with palace skateboards! and amazon/ebay, just find out the size of your lens ring thing and if you cant find a fisheye the right size just get a step up/down ring to the right size. I got my camcorder and fisheye for £20, but you can pick a decent fisheye up on ebay for like 40 quid new. also a handle probably helps with stableness.
just film how you like and what you think looks good.

definetly get a fisheye, for now until you can afford one get a cheap tripod for long lens. Long lens filming stability will be your friend. get as close to the skater as you can without losing any part of the body feet head board or obstacle in the frame. A tripod with a handle is ideal so you can pan. Leave the zoom alone on an everio. They are touchy and if your not tripoded up it will get shaky as hell. Here is an example of bad long lens filming:

and heres some good shit:

As for filming lines, fuck, haha its hard to make it look good without a fisheye. Practice I guess.
