Shot with a Panasonic GH2 and Af100 - We go behind the scenes showing the setup and prep for the One Hackney Festival 2012 featuring the London School of Samba. Feeling inspired? Join this amazing family of the London School of Samba for the 2012 Nottinghill Carnival.

Check out my short film for DepicT film festival. You could only make it 90 seconds long which was quite a challange, plus I don't have much experience. Post your comments/suggestions below, ty!

My name is Valentin Deluy, I am a French DP Director (so don't be scared of my English skills) and I'm not new here, in fact it has been about one year that I read everything I possibly can on Personal-view.com but I never posted any topic or even commented. So this is my first everything !

I have been working so hard for the past four years to get to my personal very top but I do not receive the gratitude that I would love to get especially from you guys, the enthusiasts !

I'm not going to talk more about my life, I'm just going to ask one question ...

What tools and more precisely what cameras do you think I have used ?

After that I'm gonna tell you why and what is the real point of this topic.

Here is one of my last projects, happy watching ... (inevitably in 2K, please)

This is a music video of French rappers that I made few months ago:

And this one for a quality / dynamic range test

Ps: You looked good @driftwood on the Revenge of The Great Camera Shootout Part Two ! :)

Be sure to watch full screen 1080p with the sound turned up. Only problem here is skew from me doing a one man deal and whipping the camera all over but it came out fun and it's the clearest version of the ride up on youtube. Ride operators aren't allowing stabilizers on the ride. ;P

The camera died for a few days and then magically came back to life.

If you like your films shocking, bleak and provocative, with a distorted sense of good and bad, incredible cast and acting, beautiful cinematography and a wonderfully unobtrusive soundtrack then you MUST watch 'Animal Kingdom

This video shows some of the strongest and most talented kids competing for their country's National Championships. Hopefully in 2020 they will get the opportunity to climb for the US at the Olympics.

Climbing is sport that requires more than just raw strength. It is a chess game played on a vertical wall with real consequences for errors in judgement.

Check out my YouTube channel to see other climbing videos and please help support climbing in becoming an Olympic sport in 2020.

Filmed handheld with a Panasonic GH2 and the 25mm F1.4 and 45mm F1.8 lenses. About 30 % of the shots were filmed with the 45mm F1.8 lens and the 3.9x ETC mode hand held. It is pretty tough to hand hold that focal length. The 35-100mm F2.8 lens cannot get here fast enough.

Good skill and hard drugs can result in such things.

Beyond being a cinematic montage of what my dog Isis and I saw at Floras Lake on the Oregon Coast last week, this is also my response to anyone who ever thought that the MFT format couldn't get beautifully shallow DOF.

Singh-Ray Vari-N-Duo Vari-ND and Circular polarizer in One

ps: I use rgrain for grain, but youtube just kills the grain so that is the werid stuff you see in the sky, looks much better in original!

Here is the Vimeo version where you can download the original if you like.

Here are some before and after stills from grading:

Had a hell of the time sorting trough random shots to fit the story. Did not plan to shoot anything specific then spontaneously staged the bottle shot and didn't have time for anything else. May be next time will put a little more though into next project.

A slightly arty trash the dress.

Almost entirely shot with a Panasonic GH2 running Driftwood Sedna A at its highest quality setting.

The timelapse shots were don a a canon 60D & 550D. Motion with a Kessler Crane Philip Bloom Pocket Dolly with electra drive. And some steady cam shots on a Glidecam vest. Some de-noising with neat video for the high iso night shots, Magic bullet looks for grading and then I added varying amounts of Gorilla Grain.

(The dress used here was made almost entirely out of crepe paper, doilies and ribbon.)

Owing to wonderful support that exists on here I thought I'd put up a trailer for some work I shot on the GH2 (Sedna I believe) on HBR.

The series is a Teen Soap, sort of like Hollyoaks, designed to shown in small parts on Intelligent Telephonic Doodahs.

Anyway, hope you like it.

Random fun test with GH2, Olympus 38mm 1.8 and Sedna AQ1 at 2am in Silverlake after a film shoot.

This August I'll be directing a short film titled Mulberry, based on a true story about a young black man's struggle against racism in a Florida phosphate mine of the 1940s. We'll be shooting with 3 hacked GH2s (I'm a Sedna AQ1 man), using primarily Oly 12mm and Panny 7-14mm glass (we'll have a 25mm and tele zoom on hand as well). I plan on posting footage/stills and sharing relevant production experiences in this topic.

We've launched a Kickstarter campaign this week, and have been fortunate enough to have been selected as a Staff Pick. You can learn about the film on our project page, linked below, which includes a synopsis, video pitch, cast and crew head shots, and some storyboards. Feel free to share our link far and wide, but please defer any pledges to @Vitaliy_Kiselev and @driftwood, whose work has saved my production thousands of dollars. They'll both be receiving a 'Special Thanks' in our end credits as well.

On that note, I'm happy to answer questions about Kickstarter or crowdfunding in general. It's a learning process, but our pledge rate is exceeding our initial expectations. Running a Kickstarter campaign is a TON of work and can be emotionally draining. I'm optimistic, but the 'producer hat' still fits a little awkwardly on this introverted writer-directer :)

The biggest lesson I've learned in the first three days: whatever you do, make sure potential backers know their pledged monies WON'T BE CHARGED until AFTER THE DEADLINE, and ONLY IF the funding goal is reached. And if they seem like they understand the process, explain it again! Early momentum is crucial, and many of my contacts delayed pledging due to mistakenly believing the funds would be transferred from their account immediately. They understood the all-or-nothing aspect, but mistakenly assumed their pledges would be charged instantly like any other online transaction.

That's it for now, but I'll update as my campaign progresses.
