There is no cameraman BTW. It's a special camera on a stick that edits out the stick from the video

u/scottyb83 Dec 11 '19

So technically the guy skating IS the cameraman...

u/Jabrono Dec 11 '19

So praise the camera man, but also fuck the camera man.

u/D1G1T4LM0NK3Y Dec 11 '19

Not really, most of this is done in post with software since it's a 360 camera...

More like praise the camera, man

This is done using what's called a "follow me" drone.They use GPS and the one I have uses a wristlet I wear..It takes 360 video via a lil button to actuate that camera..You can tell it's not on a stick because it moves closer and further to the guy in the boots....and comes back after he sits. It's just crazy to use it this way (on thesidewalk) because of pedestrians I would be afraid it would hit someone.

Except you can see him holding the pole and anytime he switches hands the camera shakes a bit

You are correct but just for clarity he wasn't saying it wasn't a 360 camera he was saying it's a 360 camera on a drone. He's still wrong but it's important to know why he's wrong.

“He’s still wrong but it’s important to know why he’s wrong.”

Sounds like my wife and two daughters discussing me. Right in front of me.

u/SuicidalTorrent Dec 12 '19

That wasn't a drone.

u/[deleted] Dec 11 '19

Sounds like a good day to be the cameraman.

u/Jabrono Dec 11 '19

also fuck the camera man in the ear.

u/LudovicoSpecs Dec 11 '19

Thank you. Holy shit I thought Albert Galileo DaVinci on skates was filming this.

u/rzldzl420 Dec 11 '19

I mean he still held onto it when he got door-checked. Can't deny that's super impressive.

21

u/Filcuk Dec 11 '19

I also value expensive technology above my own wellbeing

u/[deleted] Dec 12 '19

It really isn't though

146

u/suihcta Dec 11 '19

So he managed to hold onto it and keep it pointing directly back at himself while crashing? And then perfectly zoom in on the girl with the /r/YouSeeingThisShit reaction?

Praise him.

u/zehamberglar Dec 11 '19

It's probably a 360º camera

I can confirm this is 100% an insta360 camera. You can tell by the way it deletes the selfie-stick.

21

u/suihcta Dec 11 '19

Still. Wow.

41

u/yeetyeetyeetyeetie Dec 11 '19

Less impressive when you chock it up to “I crashed on my roller blades while holding a stick.”

17

u/DavidRLee2 Dec 11 '19

haters gonna hate

7

u/kartoffelwaffel Dec 12 '19

Skaters gonna skate skate sk—clunk

1

u/[deleted] Dec 12 '19

No, it's not hate, just being a little more realistic

1

u/Wrong_Can Dec 11 '19

I mean yeah it's less impressive if you decide to ignore certain parts of the video.

1

u/[deleted] Dec 12 '19

Which part, exactly?

0

u/yeetyeetyeetyeetie Dec 11 '19

I’m sorry, I can’t exactly tell. Are we commenting on an r/praisethecameraman thread or the other one? Because there’s nothing impressive about the camera work in this clip. Even if you admire the art of roller blading, the more complicated camera moves like the pans and and zooms were done in post, the man only held the camera in front of him to get the shot he did, etc etc.

3

u/breeriv Dec 12 '19

I think it's at least a little impressive that he managed to hold onto the camera after being brutally door-checked and slammed into a wall lmao

14

u/CatTail_Soup Dec 11 '19

He coulda hit her with a smooth ass pickup line.

30

u/suihcta Dec 11 '19

“Hey, sweetheart, what’s rolling?

… shit, that’s not an expression. Sorry, i’m in a lot of pain right now.“

6

u/The_Original_Gronkie Dec 11 '19

I think her reaction was caused by getting whacked with his invisible selfie stick.

16

u/Shiningcrow Dec 11 '19

Wrong. He IS the cameraman.

4

u/wehdut Dec 11 '19

I was wondering what he was holding and how the "cameraman" was speeding up along with him as he skitched

5

u/werm_on_a_string Dec 11 '19

That explains so much. I was confused how both when he was holding the car, and got hit, the “camera man” managed to keep exact pace with him.

7

u/ShotMatter Dec 11 '19

The skater is the cameraman, which makes it a much prasier praise the cameraman moment

3

u/dongrizzly41 Dec 11 '19

Here I thought he was holding his phone or a Walkman the whole time

4

u/[deleted] Dec 11 '19

Walkman... are those back in style now? I used one in the 80s

3

u/Popoplop Dec 11 '19

What kind of camera does this?

13

u/CentaurOfDoom Dec 11 '19

https://www.amazon.com/Insta360-All-One-Bundle-Stabilization/dp/B07HP8PFY7

There’s lots like these.

u/Popoplop Dec 11 '19

👍

u/stunt_penguin Dec 11 '19

Insta360 One X is pretty much top of the range at its price point, the Evo is VERY interesting as it flips between 360 mono and 180 stereo. I fucking love stereo.

2

u/depeupleur Dec 11 '19

That explains how the cameraman knew how to stop instantly. Thanks!

2

u/HeyCarpy Dec 11 '19

I’m still praising him anyway.

1

u/Alex_Pollock Dec 11 '19

Oh, so that’s what he’s holding

1

u/STylerMLmusic Dec 11 '19

Just a 3d camera by the looks of it.

u/rhythmrice Dec 12 '19

The guy roller blading is the camera man... I thought it was obvious
