I watched "Polytechnique" last night, was wondering if this is possible....

    Would it be possible to get digital cinema 4k black and white out of the gh2?? or atleast 4096 × 1714 (2.39 aspect ratio 4k)??

    I love my GH2 and the Driftwood quantum x v4b orion patch and its a bullet proof combo for my work. but i would love to experiment with black and white 4k.

    The digital intermediate for that film was 2K, should be plenty.. 4K is cool, but still overkill for most things.

    Answer is no.

    I saw Act of Valor digitally projected and it looked decent but there were some points that it looked a little video-ie. A decently hacked GH1/GH2 in B&W would blow that image out of the water.

    In fact pretty much any digital HD cam would make a decent flick in B&W. A old Flip HD in B&W would look as good or better than Clerks. You could emulate a lot of the Pi look in post.

    I also just re-watched Sin City in 1080p and that B&W is so clean and clear it looked spectacular.

    If you want a grittier look you can do what the guy in that thread did, he showed that in ETC with dynamic B&W film setting, it gives a look similar to 16mm B&W. I think B&W looks best the grittier and grainy save for Sin City, but they gave that film a gritty edge with the effects and lighting.
