Making Your Skigit

Keep your video camera and smartphone handy wherever you go. Skigits are best made when you least expect it...in your favorite restaurant, while you're out visiting with family and friends, while using your favorite thing or while on vacation when you feel awe-inspired by the location, surroundings or vista.

Some may choose to script out their Skigit and that's just fine. But Skigits can be way cool when you create them totally unscripted, off-the-cuff, spur of the moment, shooting from the hip, throwing caution to the wind...

Skigits are all about sharing your favorite people, places and things so whatever you do, don't forget to talk about, put the focus on your favorite thing. After all, isn't that what you want others to see?
