How swimming should be filmed for TV or cinema


Swim photography needs more Zen! The way races are filmed now is summarily just to see who touches first. In my opinion, if you are great enough to make it to a final, you should have a least three additional camera views such as the ones shown in this Canon commercial.

Ogged, that site is amazing. I have to blog it.

Trevr, you should do a swim commercial.

Ha! I actually auditioned for a swimming commercial a few weeks ago -- at the VNSO pool! They were pretty specific about the ethnicity they wanted, though, and "pasty suburban white boy" wasn't it ;-(
