Silent Short Film - Assumptions Killed Her Love

jasonkkchan — Thu, 27 Sep 2012 06:06:22 +0000

This is my latest short film - silent genre - shot on an unhacked GH2. Though I love the hack - sometimes I hack it back for efficiency of workflow. Played the music on my MIDI keyboard and recorded directly into Garage Band - which worked flawlessly - a great simple scoring software. I didn't know there was a scoring project function in Garage Band - similar to how Soundtrack Pro used to work - with the movie playing whilst you score or record live. Lenses used - 14mm pancake, 40mm Konica 1.8, Pentax 25mm c-mount 1.4.

Anyway, it's a fun little short - please check it out and let me know what you think.

GH2 hacked vs original side to side comparison

Hello, i´m starting this thread so that we can see some side to side comparisons between the hacked gh2 and the unhacked gh2.

This first test was made to see if there where any banding improvement, and are stills taken from video.

patch:
mpgxsvcd
AVC-HD High settings. 42 mb/sec 1080p AQ = 4 and 34
mb/sec 720p AQ = 2. Gop default. No other AVC-HD
changes.

settings:
-iso:320
-mode: vibrant
-shutter: 25
-wb: 3400k

with a Canon FD 50mm 1.4,
shooted at f2 with a macro conversion ring
(i shooted in macro because thats the only time when i can see any banding issue, at least in the lcd of the gh2)

to get the unhacked firmware, pass the panasonic original firmware through the ptools, selecting no patches, and save it with a higher last number, so that the camera will update the firmware once it gets loaded on the sd card (it doesn´t work directly to the sd card)
please, those that will post other comparisons, please remember to type all the settings as i did above.
