Graham Dickinson jumped off a mountain in a wingsuit, but the footage of such things is usually chaotic, off-kilter, somehow subtly unlike reality. The joy reported is hard to appreciate: even if we get how amazing it must be, we’re replaying a machine’s limitations as much as the flight.
Stabilized with ReelSteady, though, the original footage loses its rough edges and becomes experience. Now I get it.
The cameraman, Dario Zanon, died recently doing this.
