Street Skating in Vienna Through the Lens of Jo Wahl

Jo Wahl has the whole spectrum of skateboarding video work under his belt: commercials, scene edits, full sections… you name it, he’s probably shot it. Take a look at some of his best clips while shooting around Vienna. You’ll see that this edit is shot entirely on long lens, rather than the classic follow-along fisheye look – see if you notice how different it makes skateboarding look and feel within the context of its wider environment.

“When I go on missions, I am packed like a donkey, but usually I reduce it to the minimum I can; on random days my backpack would hold a full-frame DSLR [digital single-lens reflex camera], a fish-eye, and a 70-200mm lens for long-lens shots. Oh, and a replica ‘cage top handle’ with multiple mounting options for other devices… and my board, of course!”
