SIDELINE SCHOOL
Action: the peak of the skill
The vault, the dismount, the leap on beam, the release on bars. Every skill has a moment where the body hangs still.
How to shoot it
- Step 1
Watch one routine first
Routines repeat. Watch the first time through, note where the big skill happens, and frame that spot the next time.
- Step 2
Burst through the skill
Start the burst on the take-off and hold it through the landing. The top of the skill is in there.
- Step 3
The landing
Feet still, arms up. Frame the landing spot and keep shooting through it, because it lasts half a second.
Pro tip
Watch once. Frame the big skill before it comes.
