Panasonic FZ200 topic, 24x zoom with constant F2.8 aperture
Wow, that wildlife video really looks great! I need to take my FZ200 out and play with it some more. The problem is too many cameras and not enough time!

@sherwood, @bannedindv Ha! I get that a lot... Personally, I think he has too much hair and he played a real prick on Sons of Anarchy! The lens is very nice. I wish I had more time to put it through some paces, but it probably won't be unt…

SANITY 4 and 5.1
Here's a few shots of Sanity 5.1 (just loaded it yesterday...) while testing my new SLR Magic 35mm T1.4 Cine lens. https://vimeo.com/56888087 So far, I love BOTH the lens AND the new Patch. Thanks again @Ralph_B for your efforts in perfectin…

Manu4Vendetta, Wow, you're fast! I uploaded that last night as I was going to bed with the intention of linking to it this morning but you beat me to it! Thanks for saving me the trouble! I really like the lens a lot. My 50 year old eyes …

@stonebat I was looking at the picture that is on the item at Adorama. I guess the gear is not as noticeable in that pic as much as the one that you referenced. I feel better about it though, thanks! Tony

Just ordered it from Adorama. Hope it's the one that has the declicked aperture and gear. I just went back and looked at the picture and it doesn't look like it.... :(

Ok, figured out how to make the Rode Videomic sound better going into the FZ200. Enabled High Pass filter, switched to -20dB pad. Compared to the AT3350 in the video a few posts back... what do you think? Suggestions, tips, tricks...? https://…

Here's a quick test since I just got mine. Wanted to see what a cheap lav mic would sound going straight into the camera as I'm not very impressed with the onboard mics so far: https://vimeo.com/56152139 Shot at ISO 400, f2.8, 1/60th at…

Well, just got an email from Panasonic about a one day sale. It showed the FZ200 advertised as "$250 Off" they just didn't say off of what... I pulled the trigger anyway and ended up getting it for $429 + tax, shipped to my door for…

@brettplank What NLE are you using and what type of "light filter"? Looks very interesting!

SANITY 4 and 5.1
Shot on Sanity 5 with SLR Magic 12mm Hyperprime, graded with ColorGHear: https://vimeo.com/46595939 I think it held up great in the one lightbulb/low light setting. Color grading held up as well.

Panasonic FZ200 topic, 24x zoom with constant F2.8 aperture
I posted earlier, but it seems to not have made it into the thread. This looks to be a great run and gun solution camera. For quick stuff, i've been using my HX9V, but this would be better solution with the articulating screen. Any chance of…

Small and cool camera base, $62
Vitaliy, Thanks for the correction! Ordered a few minutes ago, will review when it gets here. Looks like it might be a while though since its coming from China.

Wow, this listing has already been removed, too bad! Looked pretty nice.

Expose in the Zone - getting the best image for grading.
@shian Thanks for the response, but I guess I'll have to wait for the film school video. I'm not understanding what you mean by basing everything around the key light. I understand to use the light meter reading for the key to set the…

@shian Great video! I had no idea that you could change the mood SO much with grading like that. I always figured that if you wanted a dark scene, you had to shoot in the dark... (or close to it...) So, to achieve the look from the still image ab…

Finding Face Exposure on GH2
@shian Thanks for pointing me back to the video. Dont know how I missed it. So basically, I can take a reading with the meter at my subject using the ISO I have dialed into the camera, match the EV reading to the dial, match the fstop to the shu…

@shian, Got my Gossen Digisix and am patiently waiting for the tutorial when you get a chance. Tried looking on YouTube for any instructional videos for it, but there is just about zip! Can't wait to hang it around my neck and feel like a pr…

Game of Thrones
I agree with Vitaliy in that the series strays from the books. That being said, I loved the books BUT I also love the series. For someone that has never read the books, there would be no disappointment in the series, and for someone like me who ha…

Affordable and Effective Light Meter
@stonebat Thanks for the Adorama link. Just ordered the Digisix and gray cards. Also purchased the iPhone app for .99, I guess in a pinch it will come in handy.

Varavon Loupe EX GH1/GH2 , reviews, impressons
It would seem to me that if you were using a Lumix lens, you could use the AE Lock and then adjust the diopter to your eye. Then, from then on you should be able to pull focus knowing that as long as you don't shift the diopter ring, everythin…

@shian Do you think that the iPhone app would work well enough to simply get starting learning the methods you show in the Film School tutorials?

HTDZ, EM320E, and other cheap microphones
gameb, Glad to hear that you are liking the mic as well. My video and it stirred up a most heated debate. There are a couple of audio "purists" who SLAMMED the mic terribly. When I tried to explain that it was simply a VERY inexpensive…

@DeShonDixon Sorry! Thought I posted a link... Just go to page 8 of this thread and you'll see a post by subco (second from the bottom, I think...) Use the second file (or setb.ini) as he suggests.

HTDZ, EM320E, and other cheap microphones
@zigizigi Just did a search for the AT that you mentioned and sure enough, it looks to be identical. So basically I got two mics for 2/3 the price of just one of the AT's. I can live with that!
