@pop24 Good job, nice colors. What software for post and colorization?

So, is the Moon setting the best bet to use as an upgrade from someone that likes the look of Orion v4b?

I see a lot of people are using Moon T5, how will T7 differ? Also, is it planned to have one "final' release of Moon that combines everything from all of the trials?

Last question, I have been using Flow Motion up until now. I don't like the "rain" effect it gives in low light scenes. It can be removed when you convert to ProRes, but I also see a bit of an image quality increase when comparing footage from FM and these hacks. Is Moon suitable as an all-around hack because I really only like keeping one hack loaded.

Hi,do you have a solution for the REDshift trouble with the broken gops ? I like Redshift because the dont need much Bitrate. Is there anything that i can test ?

bye dieter

@anthonyw no, it isn't the patch that's doing it. The same footage has no artifacts when read by any app that doesn't use the Main Concept AVCHD library. This isn't up for debate anymore. It's been a known issue since the end of 2012 now.

Flow Motion is a decent midrange patch maintaining high quality through fast moving footage especially. For straight up image quality several Driftwood patches handily beat it. Flow Motion shoots at nearly quadruple the stock data rate and several of Driftwood's patches record 50% again more data than Flow Motion.

Here's some Moot Trial 3 (still my favorite Moon) in the harsh summer sun of Texas. Tomorrow, if we're not rained out, I'll be shooting a series of proof-of-concept scenes for a scifi-western mashup at this location with full on costumes, horses and lots of cowboy fun.

...the footage is shown twice, first run through with a baseline Curves applied to offset shooting daylight with the tungsten preset for supposedly cleaner results on the GH2 and the second pass has Film Convert applied, giving it a slightly less modern, warmer, more rustic feel prior to any real grading.

Just a little WIP. Moon v5, 14mm 2.5, Nikon 28mm f2 AI, Nikon 35mm f2 , Rokkor 50mm f1.4, Jupiter 85mm f2. ISO mostly 2500, -2, -2, 0, +2. 720p 50fps. Hopefully I'll finish it tomorrow ;)

Test shot with Moon T5

For Moon T5 vs Flow Motion...

@driftwood Hi,i hope the link works,i use dropbox the first time :) https://www.dropbox.com/s/jm2r3n63um97dki/00000.MTS

Sorry @driftwood. As I mentioned, I failed to realize that Vimeo only lets you upload one HD video per week with a free account, and after I uploaded it, I deleted the original video.

Thanks @Vitaliy_Kiselev @driftwood @shian for all the tools and education. Moon T5, nikon 24mm 2.8 and 50mm 1.4, and Tamron 4-12mm (@~5mm) security camera lens used in crop mode. Although the only shot using the Tamron that made the final cut is at 1:15 . Most shots had very minimal grading, a few go pro shots which did not hold up well in grading, my fault not the cameras. GoPro was shot at 4X3 by accident so I had to zoom in to fill the 16X9 frame.

Last night I got some stills posted, pulled from footage I shot out at this old west museum of settlements and homes, Pioneer Farms, on Tuesday of this week. It's for a proof-of-concept video, consisting of several scenes from a feature script, intended to help with the funding of this and two other western "mashups" as part of a package (zombie-western, ghost-western and scifi-western).

...the name of the film we shot scenes for has a working title of The Good, the Bad and the E.T. I shot it on Moon Trial 3, my favorite patch for the GH2, and for the stills just did a quick baseline Curves and Film Convert (Kodak Vision3 5207). It will likely be a week or two before I do the transcode for online and grading.

maybe an idea in magenta will epoxy well, but I like the setup mnogo.Very good overview of this genre-bravo!
