    I fail to see a difference between T7 and T8, actually I can't figure out which is which.

    The street footage is a very tough call, I admit. I was looking at 400% magnification in the shadows and even then wasn't positive about the difference.

    But the two shots of the flower came though noticeably different at normal viewing on a calibrated 50" plasma. One was very clearly superior to my eye. Not so for you?

    I've installed Moon T8 (the normal one). Also I have downloaded some comparison footage between T7 and T8 that someone posted here a few pages ago, and I fail to see a difference between T7 and T8, actually I can't figure out which is which.

    With Flowmotion v2.02 I got a lot of digital rain in the footage that was underexposed, but with T8 I got none.

    Here are a couple of frames shoot with T8 (both) at 24p H, ISO 640, Nostalgic picture profile with -2 -2 -2 -2.

    Moon T8 - simply because files are smaller and I can use it without any errors on decent class10 non-95mb cards (toshiba and sandisk 30mb). As for the quality - all Moons are great, I see absolutely no difference between t7 or t8.

  • caveportcaveport

    Moon T5 or T7 are my favourites. I also use a GOLGOP3 patch which is great too, and spans forever.

  • Jim_SimonJim_Simon

    I'd have to agree, revitdazio. Even compared to Moon T8, I think T7 is better.

  • revitdaziorevitdazio

    So far I think Moon T7 is the best hack out there, no question.

  • critical_pointcritical_point

    I have a small question: which is better in terms of quality, the T8 Space or Flowmotion v2 ?

  • MakeitNewMediaMakeitNewMedia

    Is there any reason this hack would disable HDMI output? I had never tried it before I patched and now having purchased a mini to HDMI adapter my projector says no signal from the cable...?

    @gittzy Good Job!!!

  • gittzygittzy

    thank you @driftwood for Cluster X This was shot entirely on Nebula T8

  • callancallan

    @ Frame driftwood 'space' AC3 bitrate is 192000. Does it not span at the default rate? I doubt Nick would test at 448000.

  • FrameFrame

    "Space" does not span. 25FPS / 448000 AC3 Bitrate on the usual 64GB Sanddisk Extreme.

    Use smooth, + all -2. Cinema picture style shows less DR (crushed blacks+blown highs)

  • paulopaulo

    Tymeorama, Gardner, Nomad: I guess good ideas are showing here. (sorry my english). I think this is important because GH2 has good image (sharp, detais, etc) and excelent patches but the only fault is little DR in my opinion. Thanks a lot. And 'cinema mode' hasn't it less contrast than other 'modes'? If yes, would it helps to achieve more DR feeling?

  • GardnerGardner

    @paulo I tend to shoot slightly underexposed and when its an overcast day. The screenshot I've attached is the results of that.

    I tried this gamma shift method + Neat denoiser in this shaky, out of focus, blurry video

  • tymeoramatymeorama

    @paulo you can try adjust the gamma setting to recover some details, as Drew from Drewnetwork suggest here:

    But it will work best with high-end patches like T8 or Spizz T7 as Nomad said

  • nomadnomad

    You can't "simulate" more DR with any patch, but the best patches (like T8) will give you a nicer grain structure. So you can dig more into the shadows and make better use of what the sensor can actually see.

  • paulopaulo

    @Gardner, (and PV guys) Please Mr what patch you recomender to simulate more Dinamic Range on gh2? Thank you very much. Regards.

  • GardnerGardner

    @JayUKB Thanks a lot, and for the film we used the Nikon 50mm 1.2, Voigtlander 25mm .95, And Panasonic 14-42mm 3.5-5.6. There was another Nikon lens used but I forgot the focal length, something like 75-135mm I think. I love the grain that comes out of IV2 and it grades really nice, but by far the Moon T8 hack would be my favorite. From my experience, it gave us sharpness, great low-light, and it held up well when graded.

    @Aashay The reason I chose to shoot with Intravenous and Moon was because we mainly shot using available light in the majority of the scenes, though with the nights shots we obviously couldn't get away with available light with the GH2. In regards to Spizz, we used it for slow motion scenes in the film since its the only hack thats been reliable for me.

  • AashayAashay

    @Gardner, Good looking trailer.. All the best for it. Any particular reason for using 3 different patches? Did you decide that based on different storyline (for a particular look you wanted for some character ) or was it based on Day/Night shots or something else? Thanks

  • JayUKBJayUKB

    @Gardner nice looking preview/trailer

    Sorry, I'm about to ask the 'usual' about lenses - which did you use?

    Also you said you used IV2, Moon T8 and Spizz T7, which setting did you like using (or perhaps the results of using) best?
