    fuzzynormal got a reaction from Xavier Plagaro Mussard in The end of EOSHD   
    The world is sliding again into the standard dark places it always seems to eventually go --and the anxiety of our lives reflect this.  The scales of the internet have violently tipped to manipulation and exploitation and the earnest golly-gee-wiz of it all is long gone.  Hard things to rally against it, but it's just the reality of it all.
    Your site reflects what the net used to be.  Anyway, EOSHD is a refuge because fo that.
    Thanks for getting me into LUMIX.  I wouldn't have even considered M43 without your reviews.  Glad I did because it's been a perfect platform fit for me.

    My wife, the director, is going to maintain a social media page(s) for the film.  It's just started here, but I'll definitely share highlights along the way as well.  Thanks for asking.

    You should mention actors again.
    tbf, we had a good cast and a chill set.  Still barely held it together.  Can't imagine how it is for productions that have personality issues on set.
    Heck of a lot different than doc, where it's just my wife and I and the few people we're filming...

    It’s a “personal” project that my wife and I were hired for. The EP is friends with us and has let us take the creative reigns.  Wife is directing/writing. I’m writing/cinematographer. 
     
    My main cam right now is a em10iii. 
     
    However, will be using a GH5 for the film shoot because we can use a iPad as a wi-fi monitor with the GH5. 
     
    If the wife didn’t want a monitor, I’d readily shoot it with the Em10iii. The IQ is actually pretty great on the cheap Oly.

    Out of all the modern lenses I've owned, this one was my favorite.  One of the best things about the M43 format is the native lens selection and the easy adaptability of old stuff.
    Looks like you have plenty to play around with!  I would recommend trying the old Pentax Auto110 lenses for your GM1, as that was truly a lot of fun for me when I had it.  My avatar here is the GM1 with that 24mm lens on it.
    Not sure if you've seen it, but here's a link to a doc my wife and I made after the Japan one, the main lenses for this film were the fast Voightlander manual primes:

    I'd suggest keeping things easy and just using proxies.  Also, since proxies are low data and built for editing, I've found it's perfectly fine to use 'em off really slow (and cheap) HD's.  Win-win.
    But if you got money to burn, buy the latest and greatest hardware.

    Oh man, I take a GM1 again. Just to play with it.
    So...depends on what you're doing, but, honestly, I had an old 24mm on my GM1 most of the time.  (Pentax auto110 24mm f2.8 prime) If you read my posts here, you know I'm a vintage and manual lens guy.  I just can't abide AF, feels wrong to me for docs shot Cinéma Vérité style.
    For this particular documentary we were using Nikkor prime lenses with and without speed booster adapters.
    My wife did a bunch of b-cam work with the GM1 on this doc, and she put the modern Pany20mm 1.7 on there as well.  I've shot a bunch of stuff with newer cameras and lenses since this doc, but I still think the way this one looks is better than most stuff I've done in the years since.  
    I blame my lazy-over-reliance on IBIS and slow-mo for me losing some shooting mojo.  
    (FWIW, I'm shooting a narrative short laster this month with the Pentax auto 100 prime lenses)

    My anecdote is simple. 
    I moved from a GH5 to a cheap EM10III.  The GH5 is awesome, but it's more than I need.  I also didn't like that I was resorting to shooting slow-mo a lot.  FWIW, I made a doc film 6 years ago on a GX7 and GM1.  Looked better than anything I've done in the 6 years since. 
    It's certainly not the gear making my stuff better or worse.
