Good filming is often more important than good skating; a good filmer can make mediocre skating look exciting. Whereas the opposite is not always true, great skating poorly captured can feel like such a waste.
Fritte Söderström filmed this montage well, documenting the skater from the front rather than the sides or the back is just so much harder, but if done well it pays off! And luckily for all the skater in 7:16 it did.
