    While the right circumstances may make it possible to shoot this continuously, outside logistics make me think it is a composite image.
    -Did they find a model who is comfortable on a skateboard, or a skateboarder who is approved talent by the client?
    -If a model, wouldn't he just pose in progressive shots?
    -Would there be room in the budget for the additional insurance needed to cover talent since they may be on a moving skateboard? May sound silly, but that's dangerous, and one smack on the pavement affects the model's ability to work.
    I'm going with shopped, but the pre-planning alone scares me.

    • Also just throwing this out there to see what pro photographers think of those logistics, based on experience.harlequino
    • sounds like working with you would be a chore.

    • 'the pre-planning alone scares me.' – it's a guy jumping off a skateboard in Regents Park, hardly Moonraker

    • btw it's clearly someone familiar with skateboards, from the initial pose.

    • Have you ever worked for large brands? Pre-pro would be at least a week.harlequino
    • Most shoots, every last thing is approved by brand mangers and insured. Doesn't matter if its Moonraker or squatting...harlequino

    • on a skateboard.
      But this is what account people and producers are for.

    • i know what you're saying, but the guy just wanted to know how to recreate the shot, not how many producers to hire

    • I get that. Not saying he should, that's absurd. Was more curious about pros who have been through the...harlequino
    • pipeline and how they deal with it. I've been through it, looking for experienced thoughts. That's all.harlequino
    • Plus, if one is looking to grow and do more brand work, it helps to have an awareness of this side of things.harlequino
    • you're an experienced professional, you have been through it all, you have worked with major brands.
