    critique on any aspects is welcomed, just keep in mind that I shot the b-roll in a ten minute window that I had left, so it was pretty hack-job.

    Just shot this weekend for Doc. Filmmaking course, a short piece about one's self:

    Thanks @cbrandin !

    @Stray Thanks man...Yeah I was thinking that if I use Cbrandin's settings then I could still span with the 24L if I needed to(which I do need sometimes) I believe his 24L setting was 32mb...My card is the Sandisk extreme pro 45mbit.
  • StrayStray
    @No_SuRReNDeR No it doesnt span on the Sandisk Extreme Pro card I've been testing with, but I get about 8 minutes or so before it cuts out. The 24L settings included in chris's file have spanned on the few occasions I've tested it, however I've not really done a proper series of tests of the 24L setting. It is all very stable as far as I can tell. If spanning is really important to you then I'd say don't hack, or hack to the current limit that does span (about 32Mbps I think it is). I don't actually need to shoot shots longer than 8 minutes for the kind of work that I do, so I'm happy with it as it is.

    Edit : Or hack it and use the 24L settings when you need to do long shots, its still a lot better than stock.

    @Stray Are those setting spanning OK for you? And do you think its worth hacking right now or is better to just wait till we have settings that span and are stable?
  • StrayStray
    Shit sorry, it didnt autoplay for me. I didn't notice the second autoplay flag setting in the embed code. It should be okay now.

    @Stray Your video auto plays...

    A bit differen GH2 test.
  • peterdv_dot_competerdv_dot_com
    Some brief, camera-original, hacked GH2 clips, each about 10-sec. long. Info & downloadable camera files available on the Vimeo pages.


    Using Chris Brandin's recent 44mbs AQ4 "high quality" settings, as described here:

    Exterior high-detail, moderate motion example:



    Using driftwood's recent 100mbs 3-GOP settings, as described here:

    Blue sky gradient example (hack appears to reduce banding artifacts):


    Motion example (with moderate detail). A >10-min. version of this scene spanned OK, too.:

    Thanks to Vitaliy, Chris, driftwood and everyone for their hard work! The GH2 keeps getting better & better. Cheers.

    Some shots with CBrandins 44Mbps AQ4 settings posted in the maximum quality thread.

    @astraban
    yeah I need to put my act together soon:)
    but I mean, the way that 2nd pic looks, oh man, I've never managed to get from GH2 such awesome skintones before, maybe it's just me. But also look closely at the highlight behavior and roll-off. Objectively speaking, the after isn't any better, but subjectively speaking and with 35mm film as the gold standard at the back of my mind, the difference is night and day. Film vs Video.
  • astrabanastraban
    looks great @stefanos. Can't wait to see your grading tutorial ;-)
  • B3GuyB3Guy
    If I made those foam chairs in adult size (perhaps minus the crotch section) people would buy them like hotcakes. Am I right or am I right?
  • stefanosstefanos
    just 2 quick framegrabs before&after CC grading from video files created using driftwoods awesome latest settings. iso 3200! F2.8, Smooth -2,0,-2,-1. 1/50 Shutter. WB 3500 K.
    Shot with tiny candle in pitch dark, purposefully used highest iso 3200, as I bumped my nikkor 50mm 1.2 to F2.8- could easily have set to 1.4 and shot sth like iso 800:). Graded in color finesse 3 in AE with no noise reduction whatsoever!

    I LOVE what I can do with GH2 hacked files! who would have expected I could get such beautiful results and skintones(!!!!!) from iso 3200 with no NR? Does the 2nd pic remind anyone of film:) ? Remember all this is a grab from a moving picture with lovely low-GOP motion and quite underexposed. LOOK at the fine details at the skin creases and pores!!!!!!!!
    your thoughts?

    Big thanks to VK, CBrandin and all awesome testers.
