http://vimeo.com/60513941 Shot for the Vimeo Weekend Challenge. [url=https://vimeo.com/videoschool/lesson/356/weekend-challenge-a-unique-point-of-view]Theme: Point of View[/url] I rigged my good old Canon 5D (Mark 1...) and Panasonic GH2 on a Velbon SPT-1 lens support rig to be able to use both at the same time and to create a variety of POV shots. Just before I left the door I slapped Driftwood's Moon Trail 5 hack on the GH2. This is my first try so far but the quality looks great I think. I used a Sony 16GB UHS-1 96mb/s card but that wasn't reliable at all with the hack. Camera crashed after recording for 6 minutes, could save most of the file but lost some footage as well. Also playback didn't work properly. Switched to my 8GB SanDisk UHS-1 95mb/s, that seemed to work fine. All the video was shot with the Panasonic GH2 and 14mm f/2.5 1080p25 HBR (around 60mbps) f/2.5 1/50s ISO 3200 The Canon 5D was armed with a 50mm f/1.4, settings vary.

With a little luck, Goat Man's Hill will be going into pre-production on our next feature in the next couple months. In all likelihood I'm going to shoot most of it with "Moon Trial 3" and anamorphic. A good deal of it will be available light and night in urban spaces. The basis for my finishing pipeline will be After Effects, Film Convert and ColorGHear. I've started roughing out various recipes for how the footage will flow through the pipeline, mainly dealing with NR and then the right balance of grain to put back in. At some point I may investigate ColorGHear Pro's grain layers instead of this portion of Film Convert. http://vimeo.com/60359953 This is a boring test video. If you don't like boring videos testing very specific settings, software combinations or techniques, keep moving. That said, it does have a cat! Seriously, there's a lot of excitement re: Driftwood's "Moon Trial 3", especially where 24P is concerned. After doing a snoop on ISO noise between 12500 - 160 I was blown away by how clean ISO640 is with this patch. I wanted to shoot a high contrast, available light scenario to not only play with NR but also different techniques and levels of simulated film grain (via Film Convert). The irony in this is not lost on me, hah-hah. I output three versions of a pan + dolly. In all three scenarios I'm using Film Convert for my basic "emulsion pass" but with grain turned down to 0% (I knew I'd be applying it later). Each version also uses ColorGHear to give it a slight grade (switching off any cinegamma nodes because this function is provided by Film Convert). All three versions use the "GHrain Killer" GHear to smooth out the chroma noise. Because this also filters out detail and sharpness in the luminance portion of the image I use the NR on a layer I just intend to use for its color. All three versions also use the technique I standardized on for SICK BOY to enhance small contrast and detail without the false edging you get very quickly with typical sharpening kernels and still rather quickly with the Unsharp Mask tool. Lens Used: 35mm f/1.4 Nikkor + Century Precision Optics 1.33X Anamorphic *1st Pass* ...I combine the "grainkilla" smoothed chroma with an original, unfiltered luma and 42% grain over the entire image. *2nd Pass* ...I leave out the original luma, passing through the filtered luma and then depending on my LCE (local contrast enhancement) pass to re-establish an acceptable level of detail (still enhanced versus the original). The result is sharp edges and the ability to make out tiny textures like on the wall, the material on the chairs, etc. but also exceptionally smooth looking blacks even when I blow out the exposure to see "what's down in there". This version also has a uniform 42% grain applied to the whole frame. *3rd Pass* ...in this one I do everything I did in the second pass but this time I create a luminance key with a "bell" shaped response that gives me all the mid tones while rolling off both shadow and highlight region and grain is applied through this key (this is based on an article I read interviewing the DP and colorist re: an episode of HOUSE that was shot all on the 5D where they discuss applying grain in this way). This allowed me to bump up the grain to 77% yet the net result doesn't feel as overall noisy as the previous two examples. Oh, and 4' of dolly track just isn't enough.- 3 replies

Hi! The band I made this video for finally released it and I'm very happy, so I wanted to share it with you guys. It was a lot of work and it's not without its flaws, but considering the crew (three people including me apart from the make-up artist) and the time we had it came out quite decent. Please tell me what you think! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YhqTsAmPYYs By the way, I shot it with the Driftwood Apocalypse Now! 6GOP Nebula patch, and the lenses I used were: · Rokinon 28mm f2.8 · Minolta MD 50mm f1.7 · Minolta MD 135mm f2.8 If you have any questions just ask!

Would you recommend me a good 35mm taking lens that can go wide open but still sharp enough for use with a Kowa 8z on a gh2. What would be the sharpest lens possible for that combination? What would be the best/reasonably cheap option? Any recommendations accepted. What hack would you use for sharpest image. Sedna Aq1? Thanks!

My newest song. Already up in the Screening Room, but I figured I'd share it here too as it was shot anamorphic. Listen with headphones. The camera somehow got in an interlaced mode for some of these clips, that or I had some hack settings wrong. I almost threw all these clips out, but I'm glad I didn't. I think it actually adds to the look and feel of the video in a strange way. http://vimeo.com/58524262

Here's my first short film that I shot back in August. Enjoy (hopefully?). :P In a world where zombies are the norm, The Humans Are Coming will take a peek into the home of the Williams family, a loving zombie family. A typical day in the life of the family turns sour when an old friend pays a visit who is infected with the H-Virus. One family member's secret will put everyone in danger and change the lives of the family forever. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Le2ay3esC4&hd=1 Equipment: - Panasonic GH2 - Voigtlander f/0.95 25mm and Panasonic 14-140mm Funded by Kickstarter. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/466679651/the-humans-are-coming-short-film?ref=live

http://vimeo.com/57817375 (password: baller) ...I put the password on it so that the seriously, seriously boring footage wouldn't be cluttering up my vimeo. It's just that I was surprised that a stop this big worked at all with the Century Optics adapter.

Hello everyone, We are planning to shoot a very low budget feature film this summer and I have some questions on the camera set we will use and I hope you can help me on some of the following: 1. The 16:9 sensor on the GH2 + a 2x anamorphic adapter produces a final stretched anamorphic aspect of 3.55. Which would result in (1920x1080)*(2)= 3840x1080. Instead of doing the decompression from 2x, I want to interpret the shot as if pixels would be 1.333 or 1.4587. I know it keeps the image still a little deform but I think I like the look. Whats your technical and/or creative take on it? (SEE IMAGES BELOW) 2. We would project it on standard 2k (2048×1080) DCP cinemas and the final cut would fit into it with a 2048x858 (2.39:1) size movie. Am I right? or does it work in another way? 3. I am currently using Sedna AQ1 for max detail against anamorphic softening against big screen projection. Do you think it will hold enough? Would you sharpen in post? Whats you recommend any other hack? Given this 3 points which would be your opinion on this process? Have any of you seen any gh2 anamorphic content projected in 2k dcp? How does it stand? Thanks for your help! P.D. Anyone selling a Kowa 16-h (8z) In order not to be so limited with the 16D in lens minimum mm´s? -
Why can't I have HD in embedded videos... https://vimeo.com/57319379

Hello, I have been experiencing a problem every so often with my relatively new GH2 in which I will see this strange red line going across the frame. Please see the attached image for a visual reference (in this still the line is on the upper third of the image if you are having trouble finding it). This line moves about and varies in width and position, depending on how the camera moves. The problem seems to occur out of nowhere, although I haven't seen it enough times to say that for certain, and seems to also go away on it's own. It hasn't wrecked any shots for me yet, but it's not good and I was wondering if anyone else had a similar problem. I had some work done on the camera recently and I'm wondering if in the process of this job the sensor may have been damaged in some way. The camera is NOT hacked. Thanks for your time.

i shot this last night. used the smc takumar m42 55mm/1.8 with a sankor compact anamorphic. all shot at pretty high iso's, mostly 12800, but some shots were at lower. there's 2k mjpeg, 1080p/24fps and 720p/60fps (@24 fps) all in there, i used driftwood's sedna b matrix/patch, because i grabbed my bag on the way to the pier; i would've preferred to use the canis majoris night patch and 2fps mjpeg, but oh well. no color correction/grading https://vimeo.com/57121092

Hi everyone I´m a young video director from Madrid-spain, (www.MauriDGaliano.com) I want to share with this great community my passion for vintage Anamorphic Lenses. I´ve been reading this forum a lot of times, but is the first time that i write something. Allow me the honor to share my last Anamorphic video, a Drum cover for the Artist "Deivhook",the best Drummer in Spain. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13zPG1ebHlo I shoot this video with my basic set: Panasonic GH2 Flowmotion v2.2 + fd50mm 1.8 + Bolex Anamorphot 16/32 1.5x. The Bolex is the little girl of all my lenses...the "jewel of the crown", The rare 1.5x ratio suits perfect for almost everything, and its super-easy to make the double focus with it, in this video theres no flares, but this lens have the best flares i´ve seen. Flare sooo easy, blue-deeply flares like Panavision C series. Mindblowing. Now i have a clamp, from VidAtlantic,but im interested in upgrade to Redstan, i´ve seen that redstan have a custom Clamp for the little brother of my lens, the 8/19 1.5x, And im asking myself if he has one custom clamp for my lens. Someone can give me the contact of Redstan? I hope that you enjoy the video! If someone have a question about the lens, ask me! PD: I already knows that i suck writing in english, sorry!

On top of my low light high ISO tests I also tested my Sankor Anamorphic 2x lens. One thing I really learned is that anamorphics need to be focused at a specific distance to get the desired effect. Of course I only realize this after I do this, so I'll try and do another test later. Focus is very difficult, next time I'll bring an external monitor. The 100mm Macro surprisingly was the most difficult to focus. I think it has a much shallower depth of field than either of the FD 1.2L lenses. http://youtu.be/U5Oh-IBFZyY http://youtu.be/eL0HesvFrPc http://youtu.be/zEk-7OEkVAU http://youtu.be/ZaRwD_L0n-g Out of all these tests it's clear that there are limitations with both cameras. Here are some notes: - EX TELE mode is much improved on the GH3. There is more detail and less noise, although it is still very noisy. Not sure I can call it "grain" but if you really need to use it you can. But I would still go with a prime over EX TELE mode, even if it is a great lens like the Leica 25mm. GH2 clearly is bad in EX TELE mode, worse in very low light - Detail is excellent for both cameras. I still think the GH2 has more but only by a little. Again focusing is critical. - GH3 clearly has more dynamic range and retains more details especially in the shadows. The last video you can see more tiles in the shadows at the left of the image. - GH3 can shoot more flat and retain more color detail too. The last video I upped the saturation to 150% to match the GH2. You can't go far at all with the GH2, it is so baked into the codec. - GH3 is 2/3 of a stop brighter at high ISOs. However the codec isn't great for low light. I think the 50Mbits IPB is better than the 72Mbits All-I for low light. Just the noise grain is better and easier to remove. In bright conditions they are about the same. I prefer the GH3 over the GH2 for usability and for the image. I'll still use my GH2s because they are still very stellar cameras. But I think there are many improvements in the GH3 that overall make it a better camera.

It is winter in Minnesota, and that means snow. There is nothing quite like the experience of a walk in the snow clad Minnesota forests. The soft snow and sharp cold winter air create a new extreme of quiet that can only really be experienced first-hand. The accompanying music can only hope to capture some of the mood. Shut out the hustle and bustle this holiday season for a relaxing 11 minute walk by the frozen Sunrise River behind my home. http://vimeo.com/56519741

Just did some lens tests with the GH3 vs GH2 w/ Flow Motion v2.02 hack. Information below: GH2 vs GH3 Night Lens Test Panasonic GH2 w/ Flow Motion v2.02 Hack, Vivid -2,-2,-2,-2 Panasonic GH3, Vivid -3,-5,-4,-5 Lenses used: Panasonic Leica DG Summilux 25mm F1.4 Canon FD 50mm F1.2L Canon FD 85mm F1.2L Canon EF 100mm Macro F2.8 Perspective is different even though I used them on the same tripod. GH2 is 1.86x sensor crop, GH3 is 2x sensor crop. In very dark situations the GH3 is noticeably brighter, about 2/3 of a stop. I tried to compensate by making the GH2 1 stop ISO brighter. But by doing so makes the GH2 have more noise and have "milky" blacks. Color correction is very difficult with the GH2 even with the hack. The GH3 does much better in this regard, although detail might be a little lower. http://youtu.be/KM_6ZKCFuPs http://youtu.be/6pwNZxfa1uM http://youtu.be/_UK0Ck7jQbM

Finally put my GH3 through it's paces and I got my anamorphics too. I shot the local teen group EMKE Hawaii live at Hard Rock Cafe Honolulu's 25th Anniversary celebration. But to shoot all anamorphic, well you can call me crazy I guess. Shooting dual focus is no joke, and I really had to change my thinking in terms of zooming and framing. The videos below are from the middle of the set when I finally got a hang of it. Well sort of, some shots are still soft. I can say that I'm happy with the performance of the Sankor and Eiki 16D (pretty much the same lens). Both are sharp if focused correctly. The LA7200 I could never get good results past 50mm, so I just use it wide angle, in this case 17mm. Overall the GH3 works very well, and I think I have a good combination here. Wide Angle Shot - Panasonic GH2 w/ Flow Motion v2.02 hack, Panasonic 14-42mm kit lens @ 17mm, Panasonic LA7200 Anamorphic lens, ISO 1250, F4.5, 1/80sec, Vivid (-2,-2,-2,-2) Medium Shot - Panasonic GH2 w/ Flow Motion v2.02 hack, Canon FD 50mm F1.2L, Eiki 16D Anamorphic lens, ISO 1250, F4.5, 1/80sec, Vivid (-2,-2,-2,-2) Medium/Close-up Shot - Panasonic GH3, 24P 72mbit MOV, Panasonic 45-200mm lens, Sankor 16D Anamorphic lens, ISO 1250, F4.5-5.6 (zoomed), 1/80sec, Vivid (-3,-5,-4,-5) http://youtu.be/N2RsGEoWtkM Edit: Sorry forgot to add that the LA7200 is 1.33x, the Sankor/Eiki are 2x anamorphics. So I cropped the Sankor/Eiki to fit into a 2.35:1 space. Sorry no super-wide look, I needed it to match the LA7200.

https://vimeo.com/55892502 I posted this over in the screening room, but I wanted to show all the anamorphic guys and gals as well. Lots of fun and really easy to make this one:) Trey
