When I saw this a few years back...was speechless & impressed and felt its a modern classic...still do.
Worth seeing for the clever use of FX and long takes (one near the end of the film is stunning)
Very convincing and bleak depiction of what "could" happen in UK and the world if people suddenly stopped being able to have children and the absurdity of the human condition.
Swap children for the economy and could still be!]]>

EU: Europe in danger https://personal-view.com/talks/discussion/952/eu-europe-in-danger Thu, 15 Sep 2011 14:57:24 +0000 Mihuel 952@/talks/discussions Europe is in danger," Rostowski told the European Parliament in Strasbourg, even warning that "war" could return to the continent in the future if the bloc crumbled.

"If the eurozone breaks up, the European Union will not be able to survive, with all the consequences that one can imagine."

Rostowski warned that the "current crisis, if it continues in such an unpredictable way, will have major repercussions," with unemployment possibly doubling in some countries if it drags on for one or two more years.

He said that the consequences of stepping out of eurozone would be grave for both poor and indebted country and the well-off one.

Quoting Swiss UBS bank he said that for poor member states it would mean GDP decreasing by 40-50 percent in the first year of secession and 10-20 percent in the following years. Rich countries would suffer 20-25 percent GDP slump in the first year and another10 percent in the coming years.

”We cannot allow that to happen,” Rostowski warned.

European Commission head Jose Manuel Barroso agreed with the Polish minister.

"We are confronted with the most serious challenge of a generation. This is a fight for the jobs and prosperity of families in all our member states," Barroso told the European MPs.

"This is a fight for the economic and political future of Europe. This is a fight for what Europe represents in the world. This is a fight for European integration itself," he said.

Barroso said the solution was to have "more Europe, not less Europe," but said there were increasing signs that France and Germany were "re-nationalising" eurozone decision-making.

Barroso said some of the options to be presented could be implemented within the terms of the Lisbon Treaty, but others would require amendments, which would prolong any plans to introduce eurobonds.

"But we must be honest: this will not bring an immediate solution for all the problems we face and it will come as an element of a comprehensive approach to further economic and political integration," Barroso said.

The "Let's thank Vitaliy and Chris" thread https://personal-view.com/talks/discussion/707/the-lets-thank-vitaliy-and-chris-thread Fri, 19 Aug 2011 09:27:15 +0000 mpgxsvcd 707@/talks/discussions
Again thank you and everyone else doing testing for your time and effort. It is amazing what this community has accomplished. Panasonic would never attempt to do what we are doing and yet Vitaliy and Chris have for the most part re-engineered the Stalin GH2 to be vastly superior to a stock model and it still retain all of its reliability.

Great job guys. Please keep it going if at all possible. I know you guys can get the other things(Clean HDMI, B frames for 720p, 25 FPS) to work as well with enough time and effort.]]>

NTSC/PAL https://personal-view.com/talks/discussion/682/ntscpal Tue, 16 Aug 2011 12:26:18 +0000 dacloo 682@/talks/discussions
I do understand why PAL and NTSC exists, but what I do not understand why there are so many limitations with cameras. Perhaps you can enlighten me?
1) The Sony F3, a $16K camera, can't switch PAL/NTSC. What's so hard about it that they have two models? Marketing reasons?
2) Often you can't use the same memory card; if you record PAL you need to reformat to record NTSC.

What I don't understand... framerate is just something digital, so why can't we set framerate incrementally by frame? Is it more hard for a manufacturer to deliver 22 fps than say 24p? Ofcourse I do understand that you have a max framerate because of the chip / recording format.
If the reason is they want to keep within official specifications, then why official specifications only have a few framerate options?

Thanks!

As a PAL native and I felt a little 'put off/betrayed' by panasonic because of the PAL related issues when it comes to the our beloved gh2.
It raised pherhaps completely unnecessary questions like: Will I stick with lumix for the next couple of years? If not? Is it wise to infest a lot of money into a M43 system? 
Since I feel that panasonic abandoned me and my PAL pals a little, will I stay faithful to them?
So my question is, what would be a good way to go lensewise that does well on the GH2 but could also soften divorce procedure when going into a potential new marriage in the future?

Has anyone else ran into this problem on that "big blue colored" forum that shall remain nameless? It use to be great back in the day (before DSLRs made the mods insecure) and now they're just banning people left and right if they don't "obey" and play along with the DSLRs bashing. Isn't this just counter productive to everyone? I feel that many younger minds are being warped by the disgruntled authority around there. I don't like it. ]]>

Anyone knows what this power adapter is for?
