How to film yourself skating alone
By Con, founder of Music Wide Selfie · Updated 22 October 2026
Short answerClear phone storage, stand the phone up with a mini tripod or whatever's around, go wide and a bit high so the whole spot shows, tap to focus on where the trick lands, and check it's still recording between tries.
- Storage: sessions die when the phone fills up mid-try.
- Angle: ground level shows too much concrete and sky; get the phone up on a bin, bench or bag.
- Wide: the ultra wide shows the whole spot.
- Check: a phone that tipped over records black for ten minutes.
Remote Director or Apple Watch Director in Music Wide Selfie (Crown) lets you see the shot and start or stop from your wrist.
