I made this film in admiration of my father. When I was a little boy he took me into the meadows to find eggs. I still remember the beauty of the landscape, the sound of the birds and the excitement when we found eggs. Sadly we never found the first egg. I also remember the cold of the wind and tired feelings in my small legs. Often asking my father to carry me on his back.

DISCLAIMER: No real eggs were harmed during the making of this film. We only used empty egg shells. My father stopped collecting eggs years ago.

Gathering lapwing eggs is prohibited by the European Union, but Fryslân (a northern province of the Netherlands) was granted an exception for cultural-historical reasons. The Frisian exception was removed in 2005 by a court, which determined that the Frisian executive councillors had not properly followed procedure. As of 2006 it is again allowed to look for lapwing eggs between 1 March and 9 April, though harvesting those eggs is now forbidden.

Lapwings belong in meadows. The name lapwing describes the sound its broad wings make when in flight. Lapwings are also known as peewits, thanks to their shrill call. They are very vocal during mating season and have glorious courting rituals in the air. In the spring, the male makes several simple hollows in the ground and the female chooses one to make brood her eggs in. Both males and females brood the eggs and care for the chicks. Should their nest with chicks be threatened, they will defend their young with all their might. Sometimes, you see them flying after a harrier, constantly attacking the raptor. If it really gets serious, they will pretend to have a broken wing, luring the predator away from the nest.

The Frisian languages are a closely related group of Germanic languages, spoken by about 500,000 members of Frisian ethnic groups, who live on the southern fringes of the North Sea in the Netherlands and Germany. The Frisian languages are the second closest living languages to English, after Scots. Filmed at Vegelinsoord (West Frisian: Vegelinsoard) a small village in Skarsterlân in the province Fryslân of the Netherlands.

I'm still developing/experimenting a workflow I feel good about: one within the tools I have and know, that delivers quality enough and time wise optimized.

As always all feedback, comments, thoughts and secrets are most welcome.

I shot it on bmd / gh2 and a variety of lenses... Did all the editing and post. (not perfect, but I learned a lot!)

Sorry for the "youtube grain"; it´s out of my control.

It's a mixture of video and time-lapse of the Forth road and rail bridges around Edinburgh in Scotland. Initially I was just using it as a learning exercise about the GH3, but the bridge folks liked it themselves and started using it.

There are some dust bunnies in there, but I have learned not to go beyond F16 these days

I managed to get 510 feet up to the top of the Forth road bridge, but the barriers were moving so much my timelapse photo's were all blurred, so it's only shaky video footage from the top (I will take a proper tripod up next time)

I'm a german "digital media" graduate and would like to present to you our final project

"Replacement Music"

a 30min. no-budget short about a fictional reality in which music and music instruments are banned and illegal.

I was responsible for the cinematography and grading. The story, directing, editing etc. was done by two of my ex fellow students.

I was amazed about how well the hacked GH2 performed in various situations and am extremely thankful for being able to use such an amazing device!

I think it's time for me to applaud Vitaliy, Nick Driftwood and all the others who make this possible for all of us!

Awesome work!!

P.S.: I hope you can enjoy this, even if you don't speak german. Since this is not the final version, which is still a "work in progress" there are no subtitles yet, sry!

Oh and please don't share the vimeo link outside of this forum, since it's not the "official release" THX!

Cheers, David

Here's 3 minutes of such pleasure, in my opinion.

Filmed at Electric Daisy Carnival Las Vegas, 2012 on Red Epic with Master Primes and Leica M Noctilux f/0.95 50mm lens.

Make sure you set quality to "Original", then fill your screen, and enjoy.

Download the 4K H264 (1.28GB) file here: http://eveninfinite.com/tom/lights.mp4

No color grading. Downsized in Avid to fit on Vimeo.

Hope you guys enjoy.

All the "steadicam" shots were made with a tripod just opening it's legs as wide as possible (close to 90º) and holding it under the head with three fingers (not for long shots really). The ground level shot was done just holding it upside down and flipping it in post.

After using RED and ARRI cameras for most of my shoots I was really impressed with this little camera and how well it performed.

Population Zero is my latest short film. Check it out :)

After an alien life form visited planet earth our fate was sealed. Two years later one of the last survivors is desperately trying to find out if there's still anyone out there. Haunted by the past he doesn't seem to see the obvious when he finds a boy in an abandoned house.

I used Canis Majoris hack (Day and Night) and following lenses:

1. Voigtländer Nokton 25mm F0.95 Prime Lens

2. SLR Magic Hyperprime 50mm F0.95 Lens

3. SLR Magic Hyperprime 12mm T1.6 Lens

4. Panasonic Pancake 20mm F1.7

5. Canon 50mm f1.4 (For zooms, 100mm)

Best Rob

Rode VMP and wireless ew112 with 1-19 sets in GH3

Shot on GH2, Bolex 16/32/1.5x using Canon FD 35/2 and 50/1.4. One scene (lift) shot with Tokina 11-16 and given a 2.40 matte. Settings -2,-2,-2,-2 Moon Trial 5. Used mix of natural daylight and Arri Blonde / Redhead with 1-stop CTB.

Few straight out of camera (1.5x stretch in PS and to jpg) stills attached too.

my first payed job as title suggests, still learnoing lots so go easy but constructive criticism is very welcome to help improve ! shot on gh2 with various legacy glass in less than ideal lighting situations, edited with adobe premier pro and after effects cs6 thanks @shian for colorghear (my grading still needs alot of work but its a fantastic tool! ) and @Driftwood for moon patch and @Ralph_B for sanity 5 which some of this was filmed on too because i was caught with only a 16gb card on me at a point! :) thanks guys

I hope you'll enjoy it ! Feel free to comment ;)

Thanks to @Vitaliy_Kiselev and @driftwood for their work !

PS : I don't have Plus Vimeo Account, I'll put a 1080p DL link soon !

maybe it's not necessary to reiterate, but vimeo just obliterated (macroblocks the size of satellites) the fine grain on this video test. It's ok... I can live with that. all feedback, comments and thoughts are welcome.

90 percent of this was shot on a GH2 using the "Sedna" and "Flowmotion" patches combined with Nikon glass. Only 2 shots were shot on the AF100, so see if you can pick them out..

New promo, shot hand held, with GH1 (hacked). Lenses Canon FD 50, 35 and C-Mount 25mm

Check out the video - questions or feedback welcome! peace!!!

This is a music video I shot with my AF100 and GH2, against a green screen (which I overlit.) I'm still learning about green screen, and there are a few places where I just couldn't get a clean demarcation of the subject and the background. Also, the customer chose all the backgrounds, which aren't to my taste, but someone might enjoy it.

I found especially impressive those PC demos that ran in the "64k" category, where the whole of the demo code has to be smaller than 65536 bytes, e.g.:

And this demo here ran in the "4k" category, so the whole of the demo code had to be smaller than 4096 bytes:

GH2 Sedna AQ1 Nikkor 50mm 1.8 Ais and 105mm 2.5 Ai + Sankor 16c anamorphic

From the tests I did, I thought I'd have to grade to match, but I didn't do an any CC and I think they match just fine.

Who can tell what shots where shot with which camera? I can't! Basically I love the functionality, robustness, and cleaner iso on the GH3....if it makes video as good as a hacked GH2, I'm okay with the price. Love having both!

Let me show you some of my time lapse work i did for the last 2 years.

Started with some test shots in 2011, they became an own movie:

We did a trip through Europe the same year, but in summer:

This autumn and winter i shot some sequences in Merano, Italy:

And this is my showreel 2012:

Hope some people like it...

Greets,

Martin.

The whole Winter 2012/2013 was pretty boring, not much snow and moderate temperatures, until March shows how a nice Winter has to look like! We had up to 30cm of snow here (not bad for Hamburg), which was also caused by a Lake Effect from the Baltic Sea. I tried to document that with my GH2, the 14-140mm and Voigtlander 25mm. I often also used the 80% slow motion.

The picture quality varies because heavy snowfall is hard for every codec and i forgot to hack my camera. Maybe a 100Mbit Hack had done a slightly better job.

Greets,
