Even if you have no aims to be a professional filmmaker, it’s a good idea to act a little bit professional to get the best from what you’re filming. Happy snowboarders do the best tricks and make the best footage. To keep them that way, it’s best to be where you said you’d be at a given time, as hangover free as possible without forgetting crucial gear like a charged battery. Mellow out if your subjects are late/inebriated/without gnar on the day. Think of it as time to get a bit of riding in yourself. No one like to ride or film with Miss Pissy Pants. I once saw a filmer at a skatepark offering $20 for the best trick. Not saying you have to make it rain on ‘dem hoes, but a Mars Bar here or there couldn’t hurt…
