Hey film-makers! What are you using to capture footage? A GoPro camera? If so, DIY has the perfect skill for you!
A what? A GoPro is a camera of a ridiculous small size compared it to any other type of camera! The small size is makes it popular, because it allows you to film anything you want. You can spy on someone, film extreme sports, or just video everyday life. You can put your camera on almost everything with the help of different tripods, pole, and accessories!
As many users on DIY, I record with a GoPro for a lot of projects like my Banana Bread or my Sailing videos (which I am editing right now but that you should see on DIY pretty soon!). ;)

Radographers seek the most epic possible moments of life. We make stories with head-mounted cameras, capturing the unique sensation of life through our eyes.
The Radographer skill includes 8 awesome challenges. I listed them below.
Make an Adventure Story: Record your ramblings and adventures to make a story from your life. Or make a first-person movie with a plot and characters and special effects.
Make a Pole Cam: Secure a camera to the end of a pole and you have an instant crane rig that shows an amazing perspective.
Shoot Footage from a Bike: Only submit for this challenge if your footage was shot with a mounted camera on the bike or rider. (DANGER! Do not try to hold the camera with your hands while you ride - that is stupid and you'll get hurt.)
Ride and Record: Shoot footage while riding a skateboard, snowboard, skis, surfboard, skimboard, wakeboard, rollerblades, a derby car, or a sled. No segways.
Shoot Underwater: There is a whole other world beneath the surface of water. Go there! Bring back the magic.
Share a Day of Your Life: Wear a cam all day. Edit together the most interesting moments into a single, short video that shows one day in your life.
Shoot Aerial Cinematography: Mount your camera to a kite, remote-controlled UAV, or a balloon, and capture a bird's eye view.
Shoot Wide-Angle Timelapse: Shoot epic timelapse with your GoPro.

My Tips
- Shoot from different angles. You can't see what you are recording with your GoPro, so I recommend trying different angles and seeing what looks the best. And look at them when you upload your videos on your computer.
- Use accessories. Accessories gives you different perspectives and can make it looks really cool! You don't need to buy something very costly, you're on diy, make it yourself. There's a lot of great film gear hacks on DIY that you can use for your GoPro!
- Edit your videos. Even if it's only 30 seconds, editing your video is the best way to improve it! You don't need something complicated, just adding music makes a big difference.
