  • Thanks! Rokinon 35mm 1.4. Pretty sharp but mines breathe noticeably

  • @TheRuggedAdventurer That was stunning! What lens were you using?

  • Time lapse using FlowMotion. Major thanks to @LPowell

  • @LPowell. thanks for your work

    Some of my first's shoots with my new GH2

  • Have been using a basic 44Mbit patch for some time thinking everything else was crazy unstable. Just read all 11 pages of this thread in one sitting and stoked to try the Flow Motion patch tomorrow. To be honest, used the GH2 unhacked on dozen of projects, even broadcast, and have been applauded, so this to me, is icing on the cake! Well done Lee and team!

    Also, must say, had quite a few laughs reading some of the posts ... flow chart... LOL :)

    Edit:

    Just loaded Flow Motion, though had a question, if I uncheck NTSC-Pal in camera switching, all languages option, and 30 minute removal, that should not affect any of the other settings, correct?

  • Any Anamorhic settings into Flowmotion 2?

  • While I'm waiting for Lee's feature film, I've learned my lesson. I had to send one of my GH2's back for repair. It's the one I usually have FM2 on. I didn't reload my second camera and it had Sedna AQA on it. (Which is the king of detail under controlled conditions IMO).

    I was watching a police pursuit last night and when the shot came up....I got a card error (Sandisk 64-95) and missed the whole damned thing.

    That's never happened with Flow Motion 2.2 or Sanity 5.

    Thanks for a truly GREAT setting Lee!

    Let me add....that's no an insult to Sedna. I still love it and will use it, just not under those conditions.

  • @Rambo @mozes Coming soon the video ! I guess . Lee has reserved spot meanwhile for it !!!

    Hi Lucy nice to see you there LOL

  • @LPowell there is something wrong with the clip, it don't play?

  • AF100 vs Flow Motion v2:

    (To appreciate the finer details, download the original video from Vimeo.)

    Left side: AF100 in 1080p30 PH mode; Right side: GH2 in 1080p24 80% VMM 24H mode

    AF100 Scene File was matched to the GH2, using CINE-V with NORM2, WB 5.6K

    GH2 patched with Flow Motion v2, in Smooth Film Mode, WB Sunlight A-4 M-4

    GH2 footage was shot in 80% Slow Motion in 24H mode, and conformed to 30p.

    Footage was cropped and composited in After Effects CS5.5, rendered at 50Mbps.

  • @Rambo Steady as she goes! Great camera work as always.

  • @Rambo Real nice shot! FM really shines around the water.

  • Little test of Flowmotion GH2 720p 50 graded. I think the grain I added looks a bit too coarse, I used it to see if it might mask any posterisation in the final Vimeo conversion. Also experimented with a tilt-shift to blur the background/foreground to pop the paddler, it seems to have tamed the fast water motion some what of the 1\100 shutter.

  • @LPowell I figured... :) couldn't hurt to ask :) :) Thanks again for a great patch. It's currently my go-to workhorse.

  • @LPowell i hve to say u tanks for the patch, im using it in 720p and it works correctly, even amazing in 25 or 30p. U just made a greatest patch for long shooters, tanks a lot man!

  • @qwerty123 In my experience, quantizing matrices are not mix-and-match ingredients that can be casually sprinkled into patches in a taste-testing manner. These matrices lie at the heart of an encoder's core compression engine and deeply affect its bitrate utilization.

    In developing Flow Motion v2, I started with a theoretical design for its quantizing matrices, and tweaked the encoder's bitrate allocation to support it. If you changed those quantizing matrices to something different, it would no longer be Flow Motion v2, and you would be effectively starting over from scratch.

  • @LPowell, @cbrandin appears to have potentially great matrix in the offing that @driftwood is beta testing with his fab Canis settings. Any chance this could be incorporated into FlowMo or something like it?

    (BTW, I think I speak for the personal-view community when I say that we're really glad that there are a wealth of great, different patches to choose from, including yours and driftwoods!)

  • Finally got a chance to take out flow motion 2.02 outdoors. It's going to take some getting used to, all this extra space on my SD card I've never had before : )

  • Sweet, I actually do allot of video tests at Seijoh gakuen mai (have no idea on the spelling) station. I like the way the tracks curve subtly in that station, plus it just seems to have better lighting than most stations and none of the shinjuku stink =P

  • @mee Fabulous! I've lived near Seijoh at one point as well and often passed by the Ultraman HQ.

  • Cool, I wish I came here in the 90's! The spot is actually the home of Ultra Man, Soshigaya Okura, not too far from Shibuya, but a much smaller older section of Tokyo. Ultra Man is everywhere, actually on the poster behind the musician, but not quite in this shot. Even the street lamps are designed as abstract Ultraman heads ! =)

  • @mee Yes, I lived in Mitaka for several years in the 90's. Looks like maybe a spot near the Shibuya train station?

  • @LPowell: I didn't had a lot of time in the last weeks. And cause i must have done some shootings i used seaquake. Its even nice. But not playable in cam. So yesterday i tried FLM2 a second time. And i figuered out the problem with the 720p SH with my 16mm. It crashed allways in seconds. But after i formatted the card 95mb/s by the sandisk formatter it works. I read the tip with the formatter here on personal-view somewhere else. Now i can use tripod, steady, even A or P settings. It works. The i Settings like iA or iD i never use. So i did not test them. But now i think Flow Motion 2 will stay on my GH2 for a long time. Thanks again.
