Miller usually shoots that scene at California’s Snow Valley, where, he says, “people who have never been to a ski area before come up from Beverly Hills and Bur- bank in their shorts and T-shirts to go skiing. It’s a script written in heaven.” One of the things Miller sees all the time is people doing strange things with video cameras. He says, “I’m constantly amazed when I see people taking some of the shots they’re going to have to sit and watch their whole lives—things like Uncle Clem taking 10 minutes to put on his ski boots. There are just three things that people need to do to take better videos: Shoot less, plan more and don’t pan static shots.” —SW Fledgling ski videographers in need ofadvice on specific shooting problems can write Brian Sisselman: at Warren Miller Enter- tainment, 505 Pier Avenue, Hermosa Beach, CA 90254. 106 VIDEO JANUARY 1993
