In Focus: Stabilizing Footage with Jason Hernandez
For the latest episode of its “In Focus” segment, The Ride Channel has linked up with Transworld alum and current Nike SB cinematographer Jason Hernandez for a “how-to” on maintaining camera stability while filming. The six-minute video illustrates the use of the tripod, weight and shoulder support and the specific uses for each in order to get the smoothest possible look for your shots.

Trainspotting (1996);
“Choose life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television. Choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players, and electrical tin openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol and dental insurance. Choose fixed-interest mortgage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose leisure wear and matching luggage. Choose a three-piece suite on hire purchase in a range of fucking fabrics. Choose DIY and wondering who the fuck you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on a couch watching mind-numbing, spirit-crushing game shows, stuffing fucking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pissing your last in a miserable home nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked-up brats that you’ve spawned to replace yourselves. Choose your future. Choose life. But why would I want to do a thing like that? I chose not to choose life. I chose something else. And the reasons? There are no reasons. Who needs reasons when you’ve got heroin?”
