I Feel Like I Have Parkinson When I Hold A Camera

    Have you ever tried getting that perfect shot whether it being a photo or video footage? well i have, and it is nearly impossible when creation has cursed me with these god awful shaky hands. that is why camera stabilization is very important for any footage being taken. There are many ways with the expensive kind, a still shot, in post production, or just maybe, just maybe your hands...
    Excuse the over dramatics but its a big deal especially if you do not have the money for professional equipment. Such a finding like this is not hard but does however require professional advice in order to perfect the "craft".  There is a man who goes by the name... PETER MCKINNON!!!!!!!! Ok so not that extreme but he makes very well structured videos on YouTube. He focus on the whole Camera/video production genre. His video this week goes into the idea of camera stabilization. He covers 3 ways but dives into detail for 2 of them.
   The first one being the 3 point system. That being that when you hold a camera it is not just with one hand, there is supposed to be another hand holding it. well what about the other point you may be asking? Well that is up to you for personal preference. What Peter says can be used is for instance you can use your eye. another option could be up against your chess, which will limit the wobble/shake a lot. Another 3rd point can be a strap. just put it behind your neck, stretch out the camera and voila, a 3rd point. As before it is really just personal preference when coming to that. This is my favorite method just for the fact since a lot of people are not made out of money, this is the most useful advice.
   The second one is through post production. There is an option in post production where you can get rid of a lot of the shaking in the already taken footage. There is an effect option in Premiere Pro called "warp". This effect will analyze the footage that you are wanting to fix and will do the work on its own. Just as simple as that.
   These are what examples he; Peter McKinnon, gave to help people like me and you if we are ever not able to have such professional equipment.
