Thanks, I edited the trailer.
Thanks for watching.

This guy from Portland did, and is doing all the tittle work, he's rad, he does good stuff.

Thanks, what I meant by "the first H.D skate video"
Is that to my knowledge, It is the first
"fully filmed H.D video"
Yes there probably has been a skate video put out shot "ALL" In H.D.
Maybe in Europe, maybe here in the states, but as far as I know, no filmer I know has had the camera long enough to make an entire video with it.
I take that back Ty has had the HVX a year before most, Filmers in L.A but he couldn't make the Lakai video all H.D.
I'd say 85% of the footage they already had was shot on VX1000/2000, from what I see.
So far the HVX has been used in a lot of skate videos, how I feel it's usually used is, to substitute film, say if there's a scenic shot, a facial, Time Lapse, B-roll. People tend to use the HVX/HPX
I feel like most skaters tend to not like it, they usual don't like the fish eye, and want to film on the VX1000.
When I went to work for Nike they already had the idea, and I had already moved over to all H.D, I sold my VX camera's, so there was no skaters asking me to use them.
I hope it's the first, all H.D skate video.
I've been breaking my back for it :)
Thanks for watching.

Thanks for your answer. Thats right that all the new vids are a mix of HD and DV...

And what do you think about the fact of filming skate videos in 16:9? Im also filming skateboaridng in 16:9 and its true that when filming with the fisheye its pretty different form filming in 4:3... i want to know your opinion on this.. thnkx

Well my over all opinion is, I love it...
I think it's time for a change, It so much more gratifying when you film a line, a single, etc... and it comes out the way you want it.
Especially using the fish eye.
It's much harder to keep a skater in frame, considering that the average skater isn't short and wide (16:9) there tall and thin (4:3)
I feel it's easier to film something in (4:3)
Don't get me wrong I still like the look, it's just i was getting bored with it.
I also felt if I wanted another job one day outside of skating, it'd be smart to learn HD, and hopefully it'd open some doors, later on in life.
Now when I think of skating I think of it in HD, I think of how much more color you get, how much more cinematic it looks, so why not?
Hope i didn't bore you.
Jason

HDP Films in Finland made a skateboard movie in all HD over a year ago for skateboard shop Ponke's. Here's a quick preview for it youtube.com/watch?v=3O5N0020bNE

It's not my work. Just my friends. Looked good with new filming techniques like cable cams etc. Too bad there isn't good quality version in the web.

Hope I can meet the expectations.
Thank you for watching.
Jason H

Dam! thanks, but c-mon, there's plenty more reason's to live besides me. Im just a rat in a race...
Im happy the trailer made you siked, now all i need is the video to back it up.
Thanks for the comment, it made me laugh.
thanks for watching
Jason H

Thanks you, and thanks for watching
Jason H

Thanks Brian.
Much appreciated
Jason

Hell yeah...
Thanks for watching.
Jason

Yeah Im taking that style of editing latley, especially with these guy's it's easy to, they all skate fast, and have that fuck it, type of attitude.
Im trying pretty hard to keep the pace the same in the vid.
Thanks for watching.
Jason

Yeah.
Thanks for watching.
Jason

Yeah you caught them, we were in Chile in January.
I love it there, Vina, Valparaiso, beautiful places...
I made sure to go there, the colors, the raw streets was a good match for this crew.
Don't know when i'll be back there though?
Hopefully for vacation, I'd like to just chill and hang out there.
Thanks for watching....
Jason Hernandez

Thanks, but i've gotta say, NO!
NO, big budget for this one, NBTT, took the budget.
Don't get me wrong we didn't stay in Hostel's or anything like that, but from what I heard, we've got an 1/8 of the budget NBTT had.
Hopefully you'll enjoy this one more.
Thanks for watching
Jason H.

Actually an 1/8 of the music budget...

Thanks for the reply man, I love your work. But I really pray to my Jesus that this won't turn out like another NBTT, haha no offense to you or Nike...
haha 1/8 of the music budget, holy crap, I guess the financial crisis wasn't as bad then though. Good Luck making do with what you have. I also really hope Sydney has a Premiere of this too.

century's Xtreme fish eye

Thanks, glad you liked it.
Jason

Thank, you I appreciate that, and am very happy you noticed what Im "trying to do"
I hope I can pull it off for the video.
Thanks for watching.
Jason H

Let hope the little kids/skaters out there, like it.
I think after a certain point in time, it'll just be the norm.
Thanks for watching
Jason

NICE!
Im gonna have to look up Seb Abes, I'd like to see what he does.
Thanks for watching
Jason H

Thanks, i know who he is now, his stuff is amazing...

I've seen footage with that lens, and If $500.00 is what you got, then that'd be the one for you.
Me personally I think it's to small, image wise I don't feel like it gives you enough.
True your only getting a little more with the Century Xtreme, but to me it's worth it.
It's already a challenge not cutting off a head or wheels, so anything smaller would be a lot harder, but you'll adapt.
I'd also watch out for the HPX, it's lens is one of the widest in HD.
I think if 16x9 makes a lens for that camera then it'd have a wider image with the fisheye.
Im pretty sure I read somewhere they were making a lens for it...

Hope this helps, thanks for watching, and commenting.
Jason Hernandez

Yeah Will just watched it, it's rad seeing a lot of the same spot we go skate, all the Barcelona stuff, I bet you there's been a time when we've been out there at the same time.
I noticed you follow them skating, is that only when they do lines, or most the time?
So many rad tricks, I don't bike so forgive me trying to say the names, all the shit near the end was rad, the guy who rides the skinny ledge then turn it into a wallride down, the other guy who bunny hops that tall ass rail to 5.0 the whole thing over that huge grass gap.
The vert shit was rad, lots of stuff, i was siked on!
Well I wish I earlier I would've known there was a camera man In NC, that would've filmed Justin, I had to fly out to ATL 5-6 times, to film with the crew.
It'd have been nice knowing there was someone else there able to film.
Thanks for commenting on my stuff, and taking the time to watch.
When ever you post anything else let me know
Thanks
Jason Hernandez

Awesome Jason, thanks for the kind words about my demo reel. I mostly just skate to film lines so I can use two hands on the camera for better control (since the HVX + fisheye is pretty heavy). But yeah, thanks for the response and I'd love to work with you someday if there's ever an opportunity. When will Debacle be coming out? Looking forward to seeing it. Keep up the great work!

Thanks Again,
Will

Two words back at Ya, HELL YEAH...
Im working on it right now!

Thanks for watching.

Don't know what that means? Im not sleeping very much, it'll be out in mid JUNE
thanks for watching.
Jason

Yes this is a AM video, no PRO's just the guy's on the come up...
They'll put down, you'll see soon.
I can't tell you about the fight, you'll just have to wait a bit...
Thanks for watching.
Jason

Ok, Ok, thanks, that's a good thing right?
thanks for watching...
Jason

yeah it is, i think and maybe more interesting than "good video"

looking forwards to more, your work is inspirational man!

Dam, thanks guy's it really makes me feel good, knowing you like my work, and makes you want to film.
That is awsome, this makes me siked to keep going.
Thanks man, i appreciate you watching
Jason H

Yeah it's pretty basic, i'll try and say it the easiest way possible, with HD you get more lines of resolution, with SD you get fewer.
SD looks like a square, HD looks like a rectangle.
Typical HD your image is anywhere from 960x720 on up to ULTRA HD well above the average 1920x1080
With SD it's right around 720x480/720x486
It usually dosent look right when you stretch out SD on a nice T.V, i.e flat screen/plasma/new T.V
Hope this helps, trust me im not the most technical guy, nor the sharpest tool in the shed, so, some of these numbers might be off.
Don't quote me exactly.
Just think of it as squares SD(less quality)
Rectangles HD(more quality)

1080i 60i
thanks for watching.
Jason

do you ever film in the 24p mode or no?

Yeah man glad to know there holding up, and you can watchem later. I've just handed off the Debacle video for encoding and replication, Im pretty excited to see it in BluRay, the tests i've seen for it were pretty rad.
Thanks For watching.
Jason

When I work on a project I work on each part individually, then once I feel like Im happy with that person's part, i'll bring it into my "main/final" sequence, this is were I assemble each individual part.
And usually this sequence will be my final one I export.
If you nest entire sequences, it makes it harder for you to fix any problems you have.
Also if when in your "final/main" sequence, your project is going to run slower, so only keep that sequence open when working in it.
This is just my preference.
Hope it helps
THanks for watching
Jason

Hell yeah, man that last little edit you made, was fuckin rad...
I hated you for that one, it was perfect, It looked like one of those things that just worked out, thought about, filmed, edited it, and BAM! there it was.
NICE WORK
Yup next time im around Europe i'll let you know.
Keep it up
Jason

DAM! that is exactly what i've always wanted someone to say...
The VX is really good for skating, probably the best.
I just got bored with it, now doing this project and seeing them side by side, how much the quality changes it's seriously night and day.
Im glad you like the HVX, it's pretty impressive camera...
Thank you, hope you feel the same way about the video.
Thanks for watching.
Jason

Thanks, the guy's in the video, are pretty rad.
Hope you enjoy the video.
