    @abusaifo - A better thread to post your link to broken GH2 might be http://www.personal-view.com/talks/discussion/2555

    I made a short lifestyle clip of my brand new Nike. The goal was to see the potential of the Driftwood Galaxian hack on my G3. I'm really satisfied with this settings. Lens is the 14-42mm. (+2+2/0/0) Thanks again Driftwood and Vitaliy!

    Apocolypse Now is still only for release to beta testers right?

    Shot this video with Canis Majoris Day PM, Canon FD 50mm f/1.4, and a super cheap Neewer variable ND filter

    For my money Sedna is the most cinematic of all the hacks, Something I filmed a few weeks ago with Sedna AQ1:

  • StrayStray

    I'm a big fan of Sedna, and the CM settings. I've gone back to CM day PM myself for something I've started working on. I've given some of the AN settings a go, the colour is great and I really, really love the overal look, but I've found with very high detail brightly lit shots I'm seeing very small flickering in very small areas (and not just in bushes and trees ;)). It looks a bit like aliasing. Its hardly a major issue really, just odd looking. I've tried the GOP6 sharp and soft, and all the bkmcwd GOP3s using AN. I'm really looking forward to giving the Intra AN a spin.

  • JeffGibbsTCJeffGibbsTC

    That's interesting I also had the best results other than Sedna with CM Day. For me good results are lack of artifacts, colors nice but not pushed, and as much detail as possible. We're so fortunate to have all these options. Another clip to celebrate the GH2 while we wait for the GH3's arrival.

  • vittowarvittowar

    Hi Guys this is a short film made with CM day in my opinion the best patch I´ve ever tested.

  • brunoalmeidabrunoalmeida

    sigur rós music video shot with a hack gh2 with Canis Majoris SkinTone Soft, mostly with voigtlander 25mm 0.95.

  • driftwooddriftwood

    Fantastic work Bruno and Vitto, Canis Majoris settings have always proved reliable and quite superb. Those three settings (Day, Night and Skin) took three months off my life! :-) Thanks for the films and congrats.

  • rajamalikrajamalik

    superb work @ bruno @ vitto

  • meemee

    Great stuff. But truthfully, Bruno had me at "Siguros". One of my all time favourite musical groups.

  • JeffGibbsTCJeffGibbsTC

    Bruno, that's an amazing music video, truly filmic in my view. To be considered among the best work ever with the GH2. Nick, I have been using your settings on a feature documentary and people working with me are stunned by how cinematic Sedna and Canoris are. The great resolution plus great color space and lack of artifacts makes a huge difference. As I said before I think softness and grain for audiences (as opposed to filmmakers) take away from the sense of cinema. If I felt otherwise I would still be using my 5d Mark II instead of the GH2.

  • meemee

    Shot with Sedna A on smooth -2-2-2-2 (I think) and using panny 14-42 kit, I then did a quick grading attempt at creating a vintage look. Had I not injured my foot and followed doctors orders, I would have used my tripod and brought some heavier nicer lenses along (still wishing I had since I was waiting for this event all year).

  • brunoalmeidabrunoalmeida

    thanks for the kind words, I'm very pleased with the gh2, especially for the price tag. the hacks are simply amazing and give the extra filmic quality. The sigur rós videos are, at this moment, in contest.

  • mastroianimastroiani

    @rajamalik i quick question. I shot this with Mysteron, 640 Iso, Canon 35 mm, around F2.8 I believe. The footage exhibits some weird color noise issue as seen on the the actresses face. It's very weird. Does anybody know why this happens?

    Also, I might not be correct but as far as I observed noise issues get worse as you stop down the lens. Don't know why, maybe because when you stop down and the lens gets sharper noise becomes more visible as well? Does it make sense?

    Just as an additional note. Same noise issues occurs in slightly darker areas (Walls, etc) of any image even if it's properly exposed. I've read here that Mysteron shouldn't have any noise up until 640 ISO, but my experience hasn't been the same. I reinstalled Mysteron several times, but keep getting same results.

    I guess if no one knows why this is happening, I will give SEDNA patch a try.

    Thanks

  • meemee

    Not my finest work, but loved the scenery and singers.

    This was shot with Mysteron (to the best of my memory). The second much shorter clip was my first attempt at using neat for noise reduction. Curious what everyone thinks about this attempt.

  • meemee

    OK, one more before I sleep. I picked up a little gem last week for 1000 yen ($12USD). A Takumar 200mm F5.6 lens in near pristine condition (especially the glass). The price and the fact that it felt like a nokton in my hand, even having optional clickless aperture made it a pretty easy call for me. With the adapter I spent a total of $35. This video was shot with SEDNA A Settings: Max Detail AQ1 version on Standard 0 0 0 0. I was using a Joba tripod curled onto a railing and a bit of wind kicked up at the end, but all and all I was pleased with this shot. I need to get out there with my Manfrotto and really have a go. For stills this lens is proving incredible.

    @brunoalmeida Wow great video, very cinematic. Many congratulations, What profile were you using, smooth? What CC program did you use? I'm still to try CM patches. Thus far Sedna as been on my GH2 from day of release but this CM skin soft setting looks absolutely amazing @Driftwood. Will be trying this at he weekend along with CM Day, CM Night :-)

  • AddeAdde

    So many great settings, I wish I had the time to test them all!

    I am about to shoot a short film, I've just invested in a Sandisk SDHC 95 mb/s 64gb card... I will shoot it in 25p, what setting will give me the maximum quality out of HBR and 720 50p mode?

    How much better is the 24p compared to 25p anyway, is it really drastic or do you really have to pixelpeep to notice that the 24p is better?

    Any help is really appreciated!

  • nomadnomad

    With critical colors and fine diagonal lines it's pretty obvious.

  • FernandoAndreFernandoAndre

    A Sedna quick test for the film I will shoot next month.

    Can someone help me to understand this: I used 1/40 shutter speed because I think it's more filmic and I get more light to the sensor. BUT, after render, as you can see in the last take, the motion is problematic. Only after render. The original footage is not this blurred. Thanks for any help.
