  • Quantum X v4d Orion dark matter v3 - Canon FD 55mm f1.2 SSC Aspherical @f2.8 - ISO 320 - 1/50 shutter - Original MTS file uploaded, so no post... - Internal mic

  • just wrapped 1st day of shoot for a little student short film I'm doing, no budget, I lit this in 2-3 hours. 2 more days left. I think the results look fucking stunning! I'm sorry but anyone who thinks the GH2 image quality is sub-standard is either blind or does not have a clue about cinematography and lighting.

    few tech facts:

    -lights used: 4x1000W Arri Fresnels, 3x650W Arri, 2x300W Arri (location was bloody nightmare, windows high up with spill daylight that changes temperature throughout day and shitty fluorescents indoor that I could not control properly)

    -gels: bit of diffusion over the barndoors of a 1k that was used to key the closups, and then I shone another 1 k through a white bed sheet for some fill.

    -shot using sedna AQ1 patch

    -lenses: panasonic 20mm 1.7, samyang 35mm 1.4, nikkor AI-S 50mm 1.2

    -tripod:Vinten Pro 5

    -film mode: smooth -2,-2,-2,-2

    -200 iso

    -aperture: i think everything was between f2 and f4 on all shots and lenses, probably between f2.8-3.5

    a few grabs , slightly graded in color finesse. will post film end of next week.

  • 2nd day wrapped, footage continues to look stunning, quite happy with the way I lit the scenes. I'll be adding frame grabs in the post above as they come...

  • @stefanos looking great! Can't wait to see your film :)

  • @strancali cheers:) 2 more shoot days left, and it must be edited by next Wednesday, so hopefully it'll turn out nice enough to share...

  • @stefanos Holy smokes that looks soo sharp makes me wanna try out the Sedna hack as well

  • @Oedipax I download your anamorphic Sedna A shot and watched it on my samsung 55 LED, wow very cinematic. One of the best I seen yet. The only downside is the 2X squeeze. Did you used and diopter?

  • @Oedipax

    Great job! I couldn't get my wife to rake leaves while I played with a camera!! Great video too!!!

  • Thanks guys!

    @Hilltop1, nice to hear it held up, especially because the file on Vimeo is super compressed (the original was ~300mb but since I don't have a Plus account it's gone away). I've got the Tokina +0.4 diopter from Redstan but I didn't use it for anything in this video. Very nice for close-ups, though. About the 2x squeeze, I really kind of like it, but I agree it would be great to at least have the option for something less dramatic. I hope we'll get a full-height 4x3 mode on one of these cameras soon.

    @bubba, LOL! Yeah, I did feel a little weird about that. But, I try to have at least some human activity to film when I'm making tests and more often than not it ends up being yard work around the house.

  • @Oedipax, wow the original file is 300mb, I wonder how good that will look. Should look great! Do you mind shearing that file? Dropbox or google drive (I'm considering picking up a kowa Bell & Howell anamorphic from a local camera shop)

  • @Hilltop1, sure, here it is:

    Be curious to hear if it makes a big difference on the screen, I imagine it would.

  • @Oedipax, yes it looks even much better. The 30mb clip was "muddy". With the 300mb clip, well I see what you see on your computer after editing. Looks great! That's it, im picking up that kowa lol. It was pretty cheap any ways. Thanks.

  • Peaceful week-end trip in Britain. @balazer 's cake patch (good, reliable... good).

    Vimeo compression doesn't give justice to the patch : the overlay grain look like... mud. Downloadable original file is better.
