Kiteboarding Video: How to Make a Kiteboarding Movie​

How to Make a Kiteboarding Movie

You want to film with the greats? Alright, then. But first you'll have to show your stuff on the cinematic runway (and you're going to have to work for it just as much as Derek Zoolander worked on his Malaysian-Prime-Minister-saving signature look Magnum). Prepare to be judged by thousands of viewers who all claim to know better about your work than you. Ready to get started? Thankfully North Kiteboarding and Best have a nice video outlining every single detail that will bring you to the height of vimeo/YouTube (under "kiteboarding videos" only, though, because you will be out-viewed by people doing the "Cinnamon Challenge").

First, create a sick intro. There's a couple of ways to do this. Grab your nearest dune buggy (or call-in a favor from one of your beach-bum buddies, or pick a nice rusty one on Craigslist) and do a pan across the beach. The wind in your hair, the crystal water in the background (heightened in saturation to get that "blue" shimmer). Don't forget your GoPro selfie of you, enjoying life. Or, better yet, zoom in to a slow-mo of everything you finish. Putting on boots? Walking across the beach? Even just smiling at the water, in a somewhat-Joker fashion? Slow-mo. 

Then, choose your perfect title.  Add something "beachy" to your title, and make others drool over white sands and amazing waters in the thumbnail. Your audience won't be jealous at all (maybe just a little).

Next, create a story line. Showcase who you are, or how you want to be seen. Show more twists and turns in this style than many acrobats can create on a normal work day. Show your favorite riding spot, your favorite training exercises, even your favorite board shorts. Lifestyle shots are key in this video. Make yourself more peculiar and wacky, and you're ready to go.

Finally, finish off your masterpiece with scantily-clad women (because objectifying is cool, right?). Then, add some catchy music (we're tipping our hats to the Imagine Dragons reference in North's video), and some action shots. Edit, upload, and enjoy your glory (until your next video pops up, of course).
