looks good!

@rajamalik Looks good!

@lagunak47

looks good ; )

@rajamalik woah! something went wrong here.

it kind of reminds me of the canon muddy color look. This was shot mjpeg?

Meanwhile i had the chance to test "all" the Cluster X settings.

To be honest my alltime favorite is very clearly 'Moon t3' and Moon t5'. For me it's the best setting that was ever made for the GH2 when you shoot in 24p. When youre shooting in HBR/FSH the winner is @bkmcwd 'Valkyrie 444 TYPE-ZERO2 BETA2'. New 'Drewnet' is also a very nice setting, but again in my opinion 'Moon' is fuckin epic. It simply get's the best out of the GH2!

All my special thanks goes to Nick Driftwood.

@driftwood Moon Trial 5 1080 24p mode works great. I vote for it. For 720p I have no idea whether it shld be quality gop3 or reliable gop6 but I will sure try 720p modes in the future. I stand for max grading support with excellent detail & bitrate. If it spans in 64gb 95mb/s sdxc card, then it would be heavenly.

@mastroiani The great thing about Cluster X series is it will only use max bitrate for hi detail IF IT NEEDS TO so its not like some of my past settings whereby it would constantly try and use the same bitrate driven by a very low QP led matrix (almost cbr) which in theory can waste bitrate at no measured improvment. We are now using the rate control of QP for the whole picture which defines how much bitrate will be used according to the detail in the picture.

A lot of people should understand that even if the datarate is only 60Mbps in the recorded file for lesser detail on say moon or Spizz etc... thats how the encoder sees fittingly to apply the bitrate. So in theory all the Cluster X will save on your precious sd cards memory space too. :-)

@driftwood thank you Driftwood. I was wondering before I read your answer how quantization reflects on the quality. Wasn't sure if lower Quantization meant better quality. I will try the Cluster X. From what I understand from your reply it should yield better quality on GH2.

Thanks again

@mastroiani Cluster X DREWnet latest trial certainly has the lowest QP values around on the GH2. Cluster Boom v9 has an insane matrix for a very interesting look but its lowest QP value is subsequently around QP14. DREWnet gets down to around QP8 comfortably. Therefore in answer to your question all the Cluster X series are providing the best Quantisation (low is best) around.

@pop24 I have checked out most of your Videos and like the editing style nice and fast.

But I wanted to ask Are you shooting these videos 720p and upscaling them to 1080p only asking with the slow mo in the videos.

Also Love the shots in the videos where you get the person to hold the camera pointing back at them. What rig do you use to get this kind of shot? The Manfrotto steering wheel thing.

Thanks Craig R

@HHL Thanks! Yes, she has a little indie album (which I also played guitar on). I don't know if i can post links without coming off as a "tool", but she, Chelsie Ashton, is on Itunes and Amazon.
