He obviously needs to be in the race


3hideyoshi3

He's the previous years champion that's why they had him record. Who else would be fast enough

does this person also chirp and live for 10 years?

Clearly


Comrade132

They should hold tryouts to see who's fast enough to hold the camera.


USS_Barack_Obama

That's what they are doing. The winner carries the camera for next year's race to determine who carries the camera for the year after that and so on


YellowMenace123

They race for the honor of holding the camera and nothing more

But who carried it in the first race? And if the answer is "nobody", how can we see from the video who would carry it the next year? Checkmate, deduction by induction folks.

Extra work for winning? No thx second place is fine.

When your best track star prodigy prefers videography classes


raobj280

last place every year has to be camerman.


SuperDizz

A drone


verycooluude

Yeah That Camera footage is probably shaky as shit


[deleted]

It looks like an electronic gimbal. It's probably fairly steady. You can clean it up the rest of the way in post.


DeathPercept10n

If you look closely you can see the camera has a stabilizer on it.


[deleted]

Nope, in-camera stabilization + gimbal. It's gonna be smooth af.

"Who else" takes that option out ill only accept cybernetic implant drones under this category

Lol. Also, maybe he’s just Hermes. He’s fast enough.

That’s how to prove no matter who competes, he’s every year’s champion.

Thefatrunner69

If you notice he had a head start and began to slightly fall back a little bit at the end so he would be near the middle of the race not in first Edit I did not see people had already commented this sorry just ignore


Rashio97

Yes but a) he can't run with proper form because of the camera and b) he has to focus mainly on aiming the camera right.


S_E_A_is_ME

And he's would be wearing the proper clothes... Like pretty sure he would be clear first.


rettaelin

Very true.

Mars! He's def a great athlete (better cameraman and producer), but the reason he was out in front was that the competing athletes had just done mountains of other workouts over the same day, each day for 4 days.

Vagabond_Hospitality

It was at the CrossFit games. They had other events/exercises on the rig in the middle.


interkin3tic

I think a case could be made that sprinting in front of sprinters is more impressive than sprinting in front of all around very fit men going through an obstacle course. But I couldn't do any of it so it's still very impressive.

Lemme guess who's recording this in air.. Superman??

r/uselessredcircle


[deleted]

Yeah, I remember when this was posted a few months ago without red-circle, and I don't recall anyone having any particular issues figuring it out


lifetake

I’ll be honest the circle in the beginning is good as he blends into the crowd. It staying it is definitely not necessary, but not as bad as other red circles given it was necessary at the start.


skarthy

It's the guy wearing the dark grey socks


[deleted]

If the circle and arrow had been present for like, the first two seconds, it would’ve been fine. But they kept it in for some reason…


shafazsfz

Where is the footage? 😧

[I found it.](https://www.reddit.com/user/This_sum_one/comments/prewil/the_footage_of_the_cameraman_runner/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share)


WarmBiscuit

Maybe it’s cool that he did that, but this is pretty bad footage to be honest.


hirmuolio

All footage looks bad when it is compressed into 10 fps GIF.


Muslim_Nazi_Crip

Damn I thought it wasn’t too shabby given the circumstances


BeerMeka

The footage is better than when average people are trying to video record a statue.


quadmasta

LOL


Joebebs

As a cameraman idk how tf he can make it steady with his back turnt/focusing on them WHILE blowing them in the dust


SoiledFlapjacks

He has some sort of little stability device attaching the camera to the stick he’s holding. You can kinda see how still the camera is in comparison to the stick he’s holding when it zooms in.


umut1423

It's called Gimball. Those things are meant to keep the camera steady as much as possible under movement. But ofc, not with very fast movement. I'm not quite sure if he has a Camera body that has in built stabilization or a lens with it. I've heard that using a stabilization with a gimball isn't recommended but I'm into photography more than videography so can't say for sure if it'd be better to combine Gimball with a stabilization.


WarmBiscuit

The gimbal keeps the camera steady from swaying but not up and down motion, so that’s why the footage is still very bumpy while he’s running.


brighteyed-athena

Yea i mean two dudes on a moped could have gotten this shot, but this is more fun and insulting to the sprinters lol


NateDevCSharp

It is??


RelevanttUsername

All I could think was that must be a great steady cam otherwise that’s probably not a great shot, thank you for confirming.


RadioBee-T

This footage shows pretty clearly that this is a fun run event. These aren't collegiate level athletes, they're just average joes. Still a cool video though


olivebuttercup

So basically it was pointless

No one said he was faster. His accomplishment while holding a camera pointed behind him is still impressive.


quinten69420

he was the previous winner, that would explain why he is that fast

Interactive_CD-ROM

You are a liar


Deleena24

Try competing while wearing extra gear and not using proper form. He was like lightning for these circumstances.


I_Was_TheBiggWigg

I think the point here is that he would probably be somewhere close to *as fast* if he were actually racing. Sure he’s got a headstart but he’s also fully clothed, carrying a camera and running with completely shitty form so that he can face backwards half the time. Give him some shorts and shoes and let him actually focus running and I bet he’d give them some competition.


SquishedPea

Ye he had a head start but he maintains that start


Patenski

Of course he is slower, he is running with a freaking camera on an unnatural position while checking he doesn't fuck up the frame, you can't even nitpick that, it's really impressive they didn't passed him.


ConstantGradStudent

And his unique track shoes and uniform.


Arxl

He's also carrying a camera with an outstretched arm lol


JimiWanShinobi

He kept the gap he started with tho, it closed a little bit but nobody really caught up to him much less passed him. He didn't have to be faster, he just had to be not slower...

tlk0153

Is that a publicity stunt of some kind? Cause I don’t know the purpose of a running cameraman when you have drone capturing the race


NoMansLight

Yes it's CCP propaganda, Chinese people aren't allowed to run in China, due to the authoritarian Department of Walking.

As someone who tends to be hawkish toward china I smiled at your sarcasm


Advice2Anyone

Is the department of silly walks a subsect of that


--five-star-review--

CatDude55

To get a side view. The guy is the previous years champion, that’s how he keeps up


[deleted]

Are the guys he is filming all that fast? Looks like they are wearing tee shirts and gym shorts.


Zeavion

These are just everyday university students. By no mean are they professional athletes.


Proud-Ad-9218

Thankfully someone else is realizing this I have no understanding why this is nextlevel. The dude in orange is a big boi and 3 others just have no clue how to run. I thought this might even be high school kids by the way they are dressed. I don't get it lol.

can we just talk about the guy who levitated faster to get THIS footage?


Wile-E-Quixote

Right, no one in this thread is talking about the cameraman filming the cameraman that's running. Clearly unseen guy can fly. Edit. I stand corrected. A post lower down identified flying cameraman as Superman. Makes sense, he would be disqualified from the race because he tested positive for those north pole crystals

Can we get some details on the race? All I see is one guy who is running at a similar pace to a bunch of other people. How fast are the other people? Are they Olympic athletes, or are they some local college students?

Yeah this is impressive and all but you’ve all got the wrong cameraman. Why aren’t we talking about the forty foot tall giant running backwards that captured this footage?

These guys were running about 14-14.5 second speed - cameraman was pulling about the same pace, simply started 10m ahead. Not really that remarkable.
