    Just picked up a canon mark2 5d and piles of lens's.
    Been playing with a goprohd before and well the canon hv20 sits collecting dust now.

    you got me confused, you first ask a question and then post a video that has nothing to do with the first question.

    Video 1 and video 2 are completely different techniques.

    When you ask, 'How was this done?' I presume you mean the places where you see multiple instances of the same skater doing the same move in a single shot.

    I'm not a 'post guy,' but essentially it goes something like this:

    1 — shoot with a locked-off camera
    2 — clone multiple instances of the shot into different layers of the timeline and 'slip' or offset them in time from each other
    3 — chop each successive skater out of the background with a garbage matte and layer them into the original shot (look closely at the skater on the far right of the second one, you can see the edge of the matte)
    4 — keyframe a slow push-in or truck on the finished comp so it doesn't look like a lock-off

    Hopefully one of our resident AE wizards will chime in and explain how to do that in practical terms ...

    No need Erik. I think you've summed it up pretty well. You could probably even do a pretty good job of this using carefully timed wipe dissolves on staggered footage in a premiere timeline.

    YEah it was stated earlier, but as long as the camera was steady (on a tripod aka sticks) he just had to do the trick once, and then in editing duplicated the layer multiple times, and offset them. Then he just used a mask around each "section" where there was a skater, and it would seem flawless. Could even have a background layer of the location if he needed to feather edges to make it appear more seamless.

    I think it is easier than that. I am not sure since I do not have AE open right now but with a locked off shot, you should be able to go to effects> Echo. Set the layer transform mode to normal.
