    Thanks Nick @driftwood for introducing my GOP3ZILLA! :-)

    BTW, is it good to release my new matrix settings at my usual thread? Or is it good to stand a thread independently or to release here?

  • itimjimitimjim

    Dudes...you've never been to Warrington :-)

    I'm only kidding. I'm away on the Llyn peninsula (Abersoch) weekend after next, which should offer a great opportunity.

    @driftwood would shooting RAW time lapses be acceptable, or it must be .mts?

    @itimjim if you wake for sunrise you usually find that you get a clear sky round about then not always but for a few fleeting moments you should get some sun... Find you location and set up just before . It looks like Saturday and Sunday are going to be lovely days. Being the U.K we are also more likely to get more drama in the sky with light diffraction from the clouds :-) I think you can be creative withe brief too... I mean everybody is likely to send in the same stuff shots of sunrises ans sunsets. Why not think out the box? If the sun ain't there it ain't there try and capture something that represent the same thing the essence of that moment and you might be onto a a winner. Good luck man, all the best

  • driftwooddriftwood

    LOL @itimjim ...No, actually the weatherman says the jetstream will be changing shortly - expect good weather from next week... just in time for the Olympics!

  • itimjimitimjim

  • Diffusion33Diffusion33

In the mean time I'm going to dig out my old nikon and/or pentax film cameras and have fun with these. Might help get new perspective on things! Good luck with the comp guys

    @pop24 great work as always, Paul. Beautiful girls nice music too. Nice skin tones, how did you handle WB, esp in the wardrobe scenes?

  • peternappeternap

    @Diffusion33 Made a little donation to the board for you a few minutes ago. If you find who burgled you, kick his ass once for me. Luck finding work!

  • peaceonearthpeaceonearth

    @cantsin true, I dont see much difference. Try to shoot dark small structures side by side like pavement or concrete. You don't have to go for grading, you will see it flicker immediately. Maybe in 70% there's no difference but I like to be on the safe side with the other 30%

  • LPowellLPowell

    @kong With those statistics your eclipse video is possibly Flow Motion v2. If you can make the original MTS file available for download I could probably tell you for sure.

  • meemee

    @Diffusion33 I feel for you, I sent my GH2 in this last weekend for some issues. Luckily it is still under warranty. It sucks not having it, but it gives me time to look at things a bit more and think through how I may film them when my little beast returns.

  • kongkong

    Thanks @Zaven13 I ran it through streamparser but I got 1 P-Frame and the rest are I-B-B frames it's in 24p setting. I don't have fast card and don't want problem associated w/ slower cards I think it's in 24L.

    Here is the info from SP:

    Stream: TS Max Speed = 105,526,700 bps Mode = 1080/24p Average PCR Timing Interval = 0.094 seconds Clip Duration = 0:04:03.03 PCR Duration = 0:04:03.00 Average Total Bitrate = 16,336,242 Average Video Bitrate = 15,329,900 Average Audio Bitrate = 235,009 Average Other Bitrate = 771,332 Max GOP Size = 264,000 Bytes (2,112,000 bits) Video Frame Count (All-I/P/B) = 5,827 - 1,942 / 1 / 3,883 Video Frame Size (Min/Ave/Max) = 36,096 / 81,611 / 125,184 I Frame Size (Min/Ave/Max) = 57,984 / 121,540 / 125,184 P Frame Size (Min/Ave/Max) = 36,288 / 36,288 / 36,288 B Frame Size (Min/Ave/Max) = 36,096 / 61,673 / 72,768

    @Diffusion33 Youre welcome mate. And good luck with the return of your camera and the fan problem - Im sure youll have it back within 14 days, and, it will be returned as good as new.

  • Diffusion33Diffusion33

    @driftwood Thx for the welcome. It's been 6 months since i started to follow PV. I've learnt a great deal in this time. Still to make a donation as it has been a very though six months as lost job and been burgled. Thank fuck i had my GH2 with me. Will donate as soon as back in employment. Thank you @vitaliy for all you great work and the community for sharing in their experiences. Sedna fecking rules :-)

    First use of the Voigtlander 17.5mm lens and Cluster 6. Nothing special, very challenging due to poor lighting and cramped space.

    ISO 320, SS 50, 24H, Vibrant -2 -2 -1 -2, shot at 2.4.

    Played with color correction and a little grading in FCP7

  • driftwooddriftwood

    @dbp No transcode. Just post source files please. Create a dropbox folder and invite me on email: driftwood.brighton@gmail.com. Always interested to see how Intra performs. Thanks.

  • Zaven13Zaven13

    @kong. Run your .mts file through Streamparser. If it shows as Intra frame only (I frame with red color), then it is one of Driftwood's GOP1 settings assuming you used 24p.

  • dbpdbp

    What's wrong with 175mbps DNXHD files? I transcode and edit with them all the time.

  • driftwooddriftwood

    MUST be source. Also can you continue this discussion on the existing following thread;-

    http://www.personal-view.com/talks/discussion/3638/gh2-hack-vs-un-hacked-firmware-tests#Item_38

  • dbpdbp

    I asked the OP to upload either the source files or HQ intermediates (Dnxhd, pro res) somewhere and he said he would.

  • driftwooddriftwood

    Very true @alcomposer. Thats why Im pleased I brought up Cluster to a new level and one that gets closer to my Intra settings which are quite superb handling motion.

  • alcomposeralcomposer

    This is really where that 'side by side' example of @LPowell's shines... FILM RUNNING WATER CLOSE UP AND SEE HOW IT HOLDS UP. Grading or no grading its 'attack of the macro blocks from hell'.

    Not making this a flame war or anything but as it has been shown before using Vimeo to 'prove' a certain point is hopeless. Its all been 'bashed' down to Vimeo quality.

    Besides this is an old proven concept. These posts (including mine) should be deleted as it has NOTHING to do with Driftwood or Cbrandin's new settings...

  • plasmasmpplasmasmp

    Its very easy to identify which is which. Just look at moving background and all the motion artifacts. If you had the raw files they would be worlds apart.
