@Stills just a friendly word of caution.. In Nick's intro it mentions "Apocalypse Now 'Boom!' - Intra GOP1 24p Flat 4 matrix experiment. Works very well for Mid Shots/Close Ups"

Stills

Thanks for the advise. That's what I like about this community; you guys are direct! On topic, Sedna is amazing but out of all the hacks I have ever tried nothing looks as good IMO as Boom! after colour correction, it is just pure cinema and it looks very stable as far as I can tell from my own tests and other peoples.

@matt_gh2 I used a RODE videomic on one and an Azden SMX-10 on the other, used one channel from each cause RODE was too loud and Azden was too soft; together is what you heard.

@driftwood cluster V8??? i doubt whether u sleep or not. you seems like working too much. all the best!

Cluster 7 Nebula 444 Soft is so good for panny lenses. its not so much detailed. but looks so filmy. a slight grain with a soft texture keeps the footage look so good for color correction and grading this patch is also friendly. thanks to @driftwood sir and the AN testers. i am so excited and waiting to see Intra Venus 444 Soft for Panny lenses. i hope it would over run all other setting. Superb Work.... Thank You So much people...

I spent a full morning shooting with Driftwood Cluster v7 'Apocalypse Now' - 6 GOP Nebula '444 Soft' - setd, in 24P H, and the Panny 14-140. I made about a hunderd clips, mostof them 10 seconds long, some of them 5 minutes long, daylight, interiors, shallow DOF, and even at f22, slow shutter, fast shutter, never never a hang, sometime I needed to turn the camera off on for preview the clip, I also did not record a short clip after the long one to see what happens, nothing, it just work, so far no problems.

Should I test again with the smallHD hdmi EVF ? can that cause some problems ? (because I use it a lot in general, not this morning, just to travel light).

@ahbleza yep, but 24L does span with that card if you're talking about the nebula settings (but you'll get about 12 minutes in a single 4GB file with that anyway). I think the general consensus is that spanning with the Sandisk 95MB/s cards works better with the larger 64GB card.

@blaisejadoul OK, I switched to my Voigtlander 25mm f0.95 manual lens.

Same problem. The AN Soft 444 doesn't span for me with a SanDisk 32 GB 95 MB/s Extreme Pro card. Anyone else got any suggestions? I also tried the SanDisk 32 GB 45 MB/s, and the SanDisk 32 30 MB/s... none of them span with current settings.

This is what i get every 12 frames in HBR, using "Apocalypse_Now_-Cluster_v7_DREWnet_12_15_GOP'444_Soft'_matrix_setf.zip"

-very nasty jpegy-looking compression errors. attached screenshot as png, and also streamparser screenshot.

Agree with Hempo22, maybe it's a little bit new. But honestly, it's been 2 days of testng it... and NO PROBLEMO. At the moment. Today I will cover a fashion event and I will try to use it there. Let's see indoors crazy lighting.

Quality of Sednas are just perfect. Nebular are great too.

@Stills "Boom!" is giving some great footage, but is still a "matrix experiement" (see the write up, next to the setting in comment 1 of the thread). Sedna gives fantastic output and there is a lot of testing out there, and a lot of tweaking that has been done, I don't know what you are shooting, but the tried and tested Sedna is a great setting!

IN my opinion, BOOm is the Bollocks right now.... but only in my VERY personal opinion. Actually I fu...ing love SEDNA patches. All of them.

hempo22

@Stills I would never go with a patch this new without testing for a couple of weeks, so I say go Sedna. It might be older, but stable as hell and you can't argue with the quality.

Stills

Sounds great! But I start rolling on monday...

mlysbakken

@Stills "Boom!" is an intra patch, and the soon to be released IntraVenus is also intra.

Stills

Quite a GH2 newbie so gonna ga-ga my question here: gonna shoot a feature soon and was set on Sedna coz it's a Intra hack and was told that's the bollocks. Now I'm seeing this new Matrix 444 and it seems like Intra is no longer the bollocks. So which one is the bollocks for filmmaking? Intra or 444? Sorry for sounding dumb...

matt_gh2

@Frowest You've got skills-this looks great. Was interesting that the image was a touch soft, but that seemed to be just perfect for this show. Sounds great too. What did you do for audio recording?

Frowest

I used DREWnet for this EXTREME LOW LIGHT video of a great band called the Album Leaf on two GH2's all ISO 500

First iteration of Valkyrie (mostly) used in this video, which is not a test! It's up for a prize in a video contest that's promoting the featured type of booze. Your thoughts are welcomed!

Also welcomed are your "likes" on the youtubes, since the $4k prize is determined in part by how many of them it receives. And of course a cut of that would be heading right here to personal-view.

Cheers, and thanks to the patch and settings developers.

A noob question: which one is best for HBR? I tried two of these and they're so good at 24p but not for HBR :/

peternap

Now that I have my settings a little closer to right...Boom is looking better under extreme lighting in both 24p and 720p. Standard -2 Samyang 85mm

@Braamokiev Beautiful footage man, looks like a pro ad well done. Nice choice of glass

Howdy, Stranger!
