Driftwood Cluster X Series 4:│Moon T8│Spizz T7

Gardner

@itimjim Thanks! There's nothing like filming when the clouds are out, makes it look like the GH2 has crazy dynamic range.

Testing Nebula T8, using HBR (PAL). I used the Stray Death chart (stray_color_chart_02) - just put it up on the TV, pointed the camera at the screen and started recording.

Used a Sandisk 64Gb Extreme Pro 280MB/s). The card was formatting, in cam, before recording anything.

It did span but stopped at the end of the second file. Info from Stream Parser

Thanks to YOU Nick

Damn you @driftwood...just when I think I've got a patch or two that suits me....... you go and release another one!!

driftwood

@JayUKB 'SPACE' is for specific tasks requested from people - spanning and better quality over stock settings for long takes.

JayUKB

Reading some of the posts, from others, regarding videoing/filming weddings. 'Space' appears to be the sort of patch that could be perfect for 'locked-off' shots at the service (and the like).

Hey guys i post in here a lot and wanted to let you know that I'm selling my entire gh2 setup if you're interested in anything for your gh2 i have then hit me up thanks. http://honolulu.craigslist.org/oah/pho/4642068115.html

monoseba

off topic .. but is it posible to add cinema like d to the gh2??how?

jhonnyskulls

Yesterday i was shooting all day with my gh2. Then I noticed some strange red spots on the footage. Does anyone know what this can be? Dead/hot pixels?

oto02

Hi there, Re: I.dynamic and I.Resolution with these patches (T7 & T8), how are they meant to be set? Low or Off? Thanks and appreciate your input.

Jim_Simon

I always shoot with them off, but more because I don't like what they do than because of the patch I'm using.

treibholtz

@driftwood - From new 'SPACE'. I try this today. Bitrate remain more costant and different to the approach of Sanity 5.1. With 16 GB i have 1h 09min. Nice work.

Gardner

I shot this wedding with Spizz T7 and I have to say it impressed me!

producer

Nice Spizz T7 shots , but why does it look like a double layer tights are put in front of your lens? Filmconvert, right? This is not a flat image style, it looks more a la dust image style. IMHO it needs a serious grading!

producer

Fast grading with FilmVision Pro v7.1:

chauncy

the original grade was vastly superior in everyway. the mist effect was clearly a conscious choice.

AlbertZ

@producer nice color :) what lenses have you used here?

producer

@AlbertZ: Ask Gardner about the lens.

@chauncy: Just find even one movie production with such a blown out picture from Hollywood or wherever. I definitely wouldn't call this a "mist" effect. The image should be better even if 3 or more LowCon (UltraCon) filters were applied :)

Gardner

@producer It's a wedding not a "Hollywood Picture", so the look of the wedding was a conscious choice. Also take down your video before I report you as I'm sure you ripped the video. This was a paid job and I don't believe you shot the film, thank you.

producer

@Gardner: Ok, done! Deleted. If you noticed in the description, I strongly published the link to the original source, i.e. to your video, never wrote it's my job. Only a grading test with my plug-in. Don't know why you took it so jealously weird, but even as a wedding video it's too whitish, out of any even unnatural contrast. It looks to me way flatter than any normal flat image, more defect than effect...

matt_gh2

@Gardner I like that closing shot on wedding video. Cool idea for the shot.

jdude

@Gardner Very nice wedding video. I'm very impressed to with the quality of Spizz T7 thanks for sharing. Did you have any problems with the patch during the recording of the wedding? I film weddings too but I found that the most stable patch for me is Moon T5. Will you recommend Spizz T7 for wedding videography?

JayUKB

I know 'best' can be a bit subjective.

But...for those who may use HBR PAL/25p, which patch do you find best? I'm flitting between Spizz T7 and Nebula T8, but as I'm not that experienced with using GH2 I'm hoping that someone with more usage/experience can give their opinion.

caveport

For PAL 25fps I really like GOLGOP3-12 from bkmcwd. It's very reliable, spans & looks great.

Howdy, Stranger!
