Interesting thread and tips, thanks @maxr. There's one free tool I want to add https://pixlr.com/ available in browser, Android and computer. It has a collection of tints, overlays and borders, so I can create a quick look or put some finishing…

SANITY 4 and 5.1
@Ralph_B Installed Sanity 5.1 on my GF2, planned as occasional b-camera. Here are two screen grab crops at 720p and 1080i, both taken with the Canon 50mm 1.4. Seems a bit softer, but not too bad. Have to do some skin color shots and A/B with the GH…

SANITY 4 and 5.1
@Ralph_B I won an auction for a GF2 as a second camera, what tweaks do I have to do to match my GH2 Sanity 5.1 in the ini? Can I run both on 24L, any other tips, perhaps for color presets? Beyond photo, I'll be using the GF2 mainly as a wide i…

AKG C747 Premium quality mini shotgun on GH2 (+ audio test)
@gameb Thanks, I got a response from them, stating that they only make dead cats 18mm and up. Yes, the C747 comes with a foam supplied, and I'll probably attach a generic dead cat ontop of that when needed. The mic should arive in a week, and I…

@GameB Got one of these on ebay for a good price. May I ask what dead cat/softie you are using for it? 9mm pencil is a little unusual.

@Tron https://vimeo.com/51928527 This example was shot at neutral, which i take is 0,0,0,0 "I’m not sure, but I think the GH3 doesn’t have the same picture profiles as the GH2 (vivid, nostalgic etc) and therefore I couldn’t work with my famili…

@svart Look at the lighter building behind the big picture in @Amateur screen grab.. Suggesting what? That the building is covered with slate? The crop is pretty detailed.

Flow Motion VS Orion v4b VS Sanity?
@mee Cause I don't have 3 GH2's. Seriously, I get that striving for perfection, but story and connection to the audience comes first. I hope to get better with each shoot, I don't call myself Cinematographer, yet. While I do this, I s…

Flow Motion VS Orion v4b VS Sanity?
@peaceonearth For the reportage & web delivery, the Sanity-powered GH2 did the job. If I've had to rent for that, it would never have happened. It empowered me to get a new client and a follow-up job. For the DVD production, I'll rent …

Collective noun: a Stash, an Arsenal or a Hoard of Lenses?
In German, they are often referred to as Scherben = shards.

Flow Motion VS Orion v4b VS Sanity?
https://vimeo.com/50811539 This is Sanity 5 in a low light situation, in a very simple production. I used some power masks to crush the blacks and a light blur to combat blotchy noise in areas of no interest. The client was very happy with the resul…

SANITY 4 and 5.1
@Ralph_B https://vimeo.com/51099874 Children & circus. I can't thank you enough. I feel Sanity 5 is perfect for run & gun for me. I live with the noise in extreme situations, as long as I can capture the action.

SANITY 4 and 5.1
@peternap Raw, untreated, was probably Iso 800. Later, with less light, I get more noise & grain. Had to turn on AutoIso, but it holds up. Do you have tips for this one? Thinking GhrainKiller on Blue Channel, and a Gradient/Powermask crush of th…

EU: Fight for a first place
Around here in a region of Germany the official unemployment is 3-6%, including many so-called mini-jobs @ 400 EUR monthly with no benefits. Sub-contracting work is wide-spread, with some wages under 5 EUR an hour, and you have to pay your own tran…

Has anyone mentioned photo in this thread? If you take a step back, it is a hybrid. Still we want even more video features. I'd love 10 bit, 4:2:2, sure. If I tell people that all my stuff comes from that little photo camera around my neck they…

@Vitaliy_Kiselev Dieter mentioned that the marketing manager had a second GH3 around his neck. So at least there are two. In science, do it once, it can be a fluke. Do it twice, it's a proof of concept. If we spot a third in the free, mass prod…

@VK I was thinking Sony :) Outsourced, too? Re: The screen of the GH3 is sharper, but the color is off from the photo. Trade-off or misaligned?
