No sunsets in this project, but I just wanted to share a music video I completed with Driftwood Sedna AQ1 "A" settings. Shot mainly with Voigtlander Nokton 25mm f/0.95 with some Olympus 9-18mm f/4-5.6 as well. Smooth -2, -2, -2, -2.

@weathabee I loved the shot when he pushed the little kid in the pool =)

Thanks guys! @Diffusion33 I graded with Magic Bullet Looks in After Effects. I started with a preset that applies lift to blues and gain to orange. Also used a subtle spot fill that contributed to the nostalgic look - it worked like an inverse vignette. Then just adjusting curves to get where I want. The underwater material was similar but more purple instead of warm.

Who is the Winner??? Anynews??? Who Won that X Lens.

@Lambo Thanks! I actually used two HD Hero 2 cameras for the shoot. One was using the new dive housing that GoPro released in May, and the other was the BlurFix kit from Snake River Prototyping. I bought the BlurFix before the GoPro version was available and did some comparisons when I had both, but I could not see any significant differences. They are both WAY better than the original housing. I'd recommend the GoPro dive housing simply because it's $30 cheaper and ready to use out of the box, whereas you have to assemble the BlurFix kit manually (not difficult though).

Hello. Maybe It's not the right topic to ask questions about Sedna's settings, still I hope someone can clarify me some confusion. Right now I'm using Sedna A Q20 and quite happy with it though I'm also looking for new options as well. I browsed back this topic to March, at that time there were a lot of talks about Sedna Q1 and Q20.

My question is since the patch has 3 versions (A, B, C), I understand that Q20 is Sedna A while Q1 is Sedna B (I dont know what Sedna C is anyway). But a lot of people also talking about "Sedna A Q1", what is that? Is it another patch?

By the way, from what I had read, Q1 gives better quality while Q20 has better motion right? I plan to try Q1 as well, but everytime I patch new firmware, I feel like I would have a heart attack.

Thanks in advance for any answer.

@Kihlian

Ahh. So it is about constant and adaptive bitrate! Thank you so much Kihlian!

@Kihlian

Just one more question if you don't mind. I just steeled my heart and patched Sedna A Q1 to my GH2 (the old one is Sedna A Q20). I'm using 45mb 32gb Sandisk card and notice that the record time is still the same (24pH for 27 mins, 24pL for 54 mins). Since Q1 has constant bitrate, isn't the record time suppose be shorter than Q20 which has adaptive bitrate?

It has been months since the last time I patched this camera, so I might missed something along the way...like ending up using the old patch by mistake.

hey folks,

this is my "first" complete 'film' made with my GH2 with the Sedna B config. Thank you Driftwood for this wonderful config! It works perfect - specially for night shots with maximum ISO.

I hope you like it :)

@feha Thanks. Basically Smooth -2 -2 0 -2. The lenses were an Asahi Auto-Takumar 85mm f1.8 and a Prinz 135mm f 2.8.

I list more tech details on the Vimeo page.

Hi guys, I tested MYSTERON patch tonite under low light conditions. Nostalgic -2. Using Canon FD 20mm lens, stopped down to F4 or F5. I think the image exhibits unusual amount of noise even under low iso. Even at iso320 there is very noticeable noise. Even at 160 there is some noise. Or am I imagining? Perhaps, this is normal? First image is ISO 160, second image iso 320 and third is iso 640.

@driftwood All the Very Best for your project sir.
