  • Great stuff. But truthfully, Bruno had me at "Siguros". One of my all time favourite musical groups.

  • superb work @ bruno @ vitto

  • Fantastic work Bruno and Vitto, Canis Majoris settings have always proved reliable and quite superb. Those three settings (Day, Night and Skin) took three months off my life! :-) Thanks for the films and congrats.

  • sigur rós music video shot with a hack gh2 with Canis Majoris SkinTone Soft, mostly with voigtlander 25mm 0.95.

  • Hi Guys this is a short film made with CM day in my opinion the best patch I´ve ever tested.

  • That's interesting I also had the best results other than Sedna with CM Day. For me good results are lack of artifacts, colors nice but not pushed, and as much detail as possible. We're so fortunate to have all these options. Another clip to celebrate the GH2 while we wait for the GH3's arrival.

  • I'm a big fan of Sedna, and the CM settings. I've gone back to CM day PM myself for something I've started working on. I've given some of the AN settings a go, the colour is great and I really, really love the overal look, but I've found with very high detail brightly lit shots I'm seeing very small flickering in very small areas (and not just in bushes and trees ;)). It looks a bit like aliasing. Its hardly a major issue really, just odd looking. I've tried the GOP6 sharp and soft, and all the bkmcwd GOP3s using AN. I'm really looking forward to giving the Intra AN a spin.

  • For my money Sedna is the most cinematic of all the hacks, Something I filmed a few weeks ago with Sedna AQ1:

  • Shot this video with Canis Majoris Day PM, Canon FD 50mm f/1.4, and a super cheap Neewer variable ND filter

  • Apocolypse Now is still only for release to beta testers right?

  • I made a short lifestyle clip of my brand new Nike. The goal was to see the potential of the Driftwood Galaxian hack on my G3. I'm really satisfied with this settings. Lens is the 14-42mm. (+2+2/0/0) Thanks again Driftwood and Vitaliy!

  • @abusaifo - A better thread to post your link to broken GH2 might be http://www.personal-view.com/talks/discussion/2555

  • ok.... first of all thank you so much for the patches i love them ......"Any late entries will be considered dont worry"...... here is mine sunset at danube in germany

  • Competition Voting page will be up soon. Any late entries will be considered dont worry.

  • I know that the contest is over but I just wanna share a sunset film by the G3. Hard to expose without manual control. I used Driftwood GalaXian settings. Thanks a lot to Driftwood and Vitaliy for your awesome job!

  • Shot with Sedna Q20 B. The lenses used are: 20mm f1.7, 7-14mm f4.0, 12-35mm f2.8 and 25mm f1.4. There is a contest associated with this video to win Borderlands 2. Don't know how many gamers there are that read this forum but you are all welcome to enter.

  • I was doing further testing with the VY Canis Majoris 'Green Screen matrix setting' + Cluster, and have some good greenscreen / chromakey results in a promo video I made:

  • Reposting here, since it's relevant to the Sedna / CM patches as well.

    In this video, I compared Sedna AQ1 'A', Canis Majoris 'Night', Cluster V7 Nebula 444 Sharp & Soft, Cluster V7 DrewNet 444 Sharp & Soft, and an older experimental GOP1 220M patch. Part 1 is ungraded, Part 2 is gamma shifted to 6 in Premiere, and Part 3 is graded in Magic Bullet Looks. After Part 3, you will see graded 300% crops of Sedna, CM Night, and the four Cluster V7 patches side-by-side.

    In my opinion, the Soft versions of the two new Cluster V7 444 patches had the nicest highlight roll-off, while CM Night still held the best detail in the shadows. Particularly, I noticed substantially less macroblocking of ISO noise in the shadows on the leather jacket in CM Night, when compared to Cluster, Sedna, and especially the older 220M patch. I found it noteworthy that despite having nearly three times the bitrate as the new Apocalypse Now Cluster patches, the old GOP1 220M patch had far muddier shadows and in general looks bad in comparison. Goes to show how significant Nick and Chris's work on matrixes has been.

    On all shots, I used a Voigtlander 25mm f/0.95 lens, stopped down to f/8. Shutter speed was at 1/50s throughout, while ISO remained at 1,250 and WB was kept at 5200. The picture style for each shot was Smooth -2, -2, -2, -2.

    The light changed slightly in between patch installations, so take this with a grain of salt. Also know that you can't hope to get a remotely accurate idea of how these patches differ when watching on Vimeo. Downloading the original 1080p .MP4 file (encoded at 20Mbps) will give you a better picture, but better yet would be to do this yourself and compare the .MTS files natively.

  • @davidhjlindberg that was incredible - some of the best grading I've seen on GH2 footage (you also really make the camera shine in that). You just got an instant blog subscriber.

  • a music video i shot with a few friends on my gh2 with sedna q20 and a 5d mk2.
