It\u2019s made for the job at hand \u2013 and does it well. That\u2019s true across an almost infinite gamut of gadgets, from screwdrivers to torches, snorkels to drills, skateboards to, of course, cameras. And moviemaker Jasmine Quinones knows all about the latter.<\/p>\n<p>Obsessed with skateboarding growing up, she soon found a love for filmmaking and storytelling, too. It eventually made sense to combine them. In both cases, an effective tool was required: one to drop into a bowl, grind a railing, or cruise the boardwalk; another to photograph that movement and show the emotion of success or failure.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, not all skateboards are the same, and nor are all cameras. Just as Jasmine might pick a shortboard with a kicktail for tricks, or a longboard for cruising, her choice of camera is dictated by the needs of the job. And when filming her beautiful new short, Push, she needed a camera that could keep up. Literally.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/GLOBAL-ALL-THE-RIGHT-MOVES-1.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/GLOBAL-ALL-THE-RIGHT-MOVES-1.jpg\" alt=\"Young woman skateboarder grinding on ledge inside skatepark\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo 2022 \u00a9 Jasmine Quinones<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><p>\u201cThroughout the project, we were definitely thankful for a small, light camera,\u201d she explains. \u201cWe were working either handheld or on a lightweight gimbal \u2013 and when stripped down to the bare bones, you need a body with a good grip. That\u2019s one of <a href=\"products\/cameras\/x-h2s\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">X-H2S<\/a>\u2019s standout features for me. I was with my DOP, Ian, and we both filmed while running, riding a skateboard, and from a motorized Onewheel. Across all of those situations, we could operate one-handed with ease \u2013\u00a0which is great if you don\u2019t want to fall off!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/GLOBAL-ALL-THE-RIGHT-MOVES-2.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/GLOBAL-ALL-THE-RIGHT-MOVES-2.jpg\" alt=\"Skateboarder in mid air above skatepark ramp\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo 2022 \u00a9 Jasmine Quinones<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><p>Jasmine often works in this free-flowing, documentary style. It\u2019s something that harks back to her first video inspirations. \u201cI always liked making films as a way of expressing myself, and I\u2019d upload random stuff to YouTube,\u201d she explains. \u201cBut what really drew me to the creative side were run-and-gun style documentaries. It\u2019s something I grew up watching and found refreshing in music videos and promos. I didn\u2019t want the highly produced stuff, but rather shorts that were energetic, cleverly filmed, and stylistically edited.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/GLOBAL-ALL-THE-RIGHT-MOVES-3.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/GLOBAL-ALL-THE-RIGHT-MOVES-3.jpg\" alt=\"Young woman skateboarder riding on basketball court\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo 2022 \u00a9 Jasmine Quinones<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><p>This ties in with her early fascination for skating, and specifically videos. \u201cI had this one which I must have watched a thousand times \u2013 and that\u2019s something I wanted to replicate in Push,\u201d she says. \u201cThe thing is\u2026 filmmaking and skating are closely linked. Most skaters film themselves, and we do it in a way unlike any other sport. We\u2019ll try a trick 100 times or skate some quirky spot, and when we finally land it, we want to see it for ourselves \u2013 and for others to see it, too. That sense of progression is the goal.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/GLOBAL-ALL-THE-RIGHT-MOVES-4.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/GLOBAL-ALL-THE-RIGHT-MOVES-4.jpg\" alt=\"Skateboarder performing flip trick off ledge inside skatepark\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo 2022 \u00a9 Jasmine Quinones<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><p>With all the movement in Push, Jasmine was keen to try X-H2S\u2019s in-body image stabilization. \u201cWe used IBIS a lot, never weighing down the camera to create stability \u2013 and only on a gimbal when I wanted very smooth tracking footage. When Ian and I were running around, following skaters in the park, this really came into its own. The seven stops of stabilization meant we could film handheld, which is lighter, and the footage has this brilliantly clear look, without being artificially smooth. It makes you feel more in touch with what\u2019s going on.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/GLOBAL-ALL-THE-RIGHT-MOVES-5.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/GLOBAL-ALL-THE-RIGHT-MOVES-5.jpg\" alt=\"Young skateboarder grinding rail inside skatepark\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo 2022 \u00a9 Jasmine Quinones<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><p>The incredible dynamic recording range of X-H2S, plus footage color depth, also impressed Jasmine. \u201cHonestly, for a lot of the skatepark scenes, I was concerned about the light and how harsh it was,\u201d she explains. \u201cBut thanks to X-H2S recording Apple ProRes internally, that wasn\u2019t a problem. The 4:2:2 10-bit footage was amazing, and responded so beautifully in grading, we didn\u2019t lose a thing in the highlights or shadows.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/GLOBAL-ALL-THE-RIGHT-MOVES-6.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/GLOBAL-ALL-THE-RIGHT-MOVES-6.jpg\" alt=\"Young woman looking into car trunk\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo 2022 \u00a9 Jasmine Quinones<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><p>Another feature of X-H2S is its ability to film in a variety of 4K modes, as well as up to 6.2K at 29.97p. \u201cFor Push, we used 4K in 60p, 24p, and also 120p for the slow-motion sequences. The footage was incredible. Having that flexibility in the same resolution makes workflow a lot easier. What also impressed me was that X-H2S showed no signs of overheating, even though we were working five hours in direct sun. We didn\u2019t need to use the FAN-001 attachment, although it\u2019s great to know that it&#8217;s available.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/GLOBAL-ALL-THE-RIGHT-MOVES-7.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/GLOBAL-ALL-THE-RIGHT-MOVES-7.jpg\" alt=\"Close-up of girl's legs and sneakers as she rides a skateboard\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo 2022 \u00a9 Jasmine Quinones<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><p>\u201cI was really keen to try the 6.2K mode, too,\u201d she continues. \u201cIt\u2019s a useful feature to have, meaning I can punch into a scene, or zoom out without physically moving the camera or blowing up the footage. The extra resolution means you can place those sequences in a 4K timeline, then either shrink down, or use them as-is, panning the frame or pulling out with no loss of quality.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/GLOBAL-ALL-THE-RIGHT-MOVES-8.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/GLOBAL-ALL-THE-RIGHT-MOVES-8.jpg\" alt=\"Young woman skateboarder performing lip trick on skatepark halfpipe\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo 2022 \u00a9 Jasmine Quinones<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><p>For fast-moving and erratic subjects like the film\u2019s skaters, X-H2S\u2019s AI-powered subject recognition AF also came to the fore. \u201cWe used the subject tracking almost all of the time, at the skatepark and for scenes on the road,\u201d says Jasmine. \u201cWe played around a lot with specific modes, and found that the motorcycle setting worked particularly well for skaters \u2013 as it follows that similar upright stance. It did a great job of tracking, especially as everything was going by pretty fast! It\u2019s a million times better than anything I\u2019ve used before.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/GLOBAL-ALL-THE-RIGHT-MOVES-9.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/GLOBAL-ALL-THE-RIGHT-MOVES-9.jpg\" alt=\"Silhouette of skateboarder performing flip trick against orange background\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo 2022 \u00a9 Jasmine Quinones<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><p>\u201cFor all those reasons, the new FUJIFILM X-H2S might just be the ultimate lightweight camera for filmmakers,\u201d she concludes. \u201cIt has all the features required for a project like Push, and then some. I didn\u2019t need to rig it out to get great results, and the handling and workflow flexibility was just awesome. It\u2019s definitely going to be my main camera for YouTube, short films, and small-scale commercial content from now on.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/GLOBAL-ALL-THE-RIGHT-MOVES-10.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/GLOBAL-ALL-THE-RIGHT-MOVES-10.jpg\" alt=\"Young woman skateboarding through large skatepark\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo 2022 \u00a9 Jasmine Quinones<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><p>\u201cThe way in which you can use this camera so stripped down, as we did at the skatepark, is very freeing. Like the fact that I can use ProRes422 mode without a screen or external recorder. But obviously you can accessorize it for all sorts of other setups, too.
