Patch recommendations for Saving Dinah
  • June 25th, I start shooting the feature film Saving Dinah (see http://savingdinah.com and http://www.facebook.com/groups/407980299222552/) with the GH2. It's a three week shoot. Lenses are mostly Canon FL primes. I shot the screen tests with Cake 2.3 to avoid spanning issues. So, I'm looking for recommendations about which patches might be recommended for the main shoot. Like in most features, we have day and night shoots, and the usual mix of shots including closeups of the actors. One sequence, a brutal dog fight, is being lit with three or four alcohol camp lights. There are no lengthy (over 4 minute) shots planned. We have adequate lights. Little compositing in post is expected, and only the usual color correction. Green screen is limited to video in TV sets.

    The release of Saving Dinah will include theatrical using D-cinema projection (2K), and of course all the usual distribution windows thereafter. We're not planning any transfers to film.

    Recording media is SanDisk Extreme Pro 95MB/s.

    As we all know, there is a range of patches available, and all seem good. But, given this site is the GH2 patch brain trust, what choice or strategies would "you" adopt in my situation -- and why?

    In advance, let me offer my appreciation for any recommendations offered. We're in a new, new world of film making here and everyone's thoughts are invaluable.
