@vicharris Would def be interested in seeing the Boom grabs from wide shots where you saw problems. I recently tested some wide shots with Boom but didn't notice any issues, so wondering if I'm missing something (I only briefly reviewed though). If you can, maybe post the wide, med, and CU grabs from shots done on the same scene so we can see quality difference. Thanks.

Will do guys. The wides just look a soft to me and a bit washed out. I could have overexposed a bit but I matched exposure with the Med and MC shots. Also on the wides I used two diff lenses. Nikon 105mm 2.8 and Rokinon 85mm 1.4 so I don't think it was the glass. Anyways, I just got two new lenses in so I'll stop playing with them and throw up the grabs after the kids go to bed.

@vicharris I have a question on the wide. I'm not an expert so this is more of question, than a comment. I saw you used a 24 for the one shot, and a 11-16 for the two shot, and those look like the camera was probably positioned about the same distance from the subject. But for the wide shot, if you were using a 85 or 105, I guess you would have to be really far away from the subject to get that wide a shot. So maybe the softness is a result of the distance from lens to subject? (I don't really know all the stuff about distance, focal length, and all the math, so I'm really just guessing the cause.)

Thanks for posting. Guy with vacuum cleaner is a funny setup. Would love to see final product.

@vicharris Very cool re improv. I'll be playing with Boom some more soon, so will check the wides. Maybe an alternative for you will be one of the bkmcwd settings (I think he did a "flat" setting that was inspired by and designed to be a GOP3 version of Boom). Perhaps that will give you imaging characteristics/style/look of Boom, but perhaps the wides also work better for you.

Thanks for posting grabs. Rock on.

@virgilr The wide was taken with a Nikon 105 2.8 AI lens at 5.6. So, not a bad piece of glass. I also have the same shot with a Rokinon 85mm 1.4 and it looks the same. I was on sticks and pulled critical focus on the girl. I also used a LCW Fader but it was used on the Med and CU shots too and they look fine. I'll prob go out and try to recreate it with my Pany 14-140 and see what that looks like. Also maybe play around with exposure or use a MB and Tiffen 4x4 ND's instead of the fader ND. I'm sure I can tweak it in post a bit but it's bothering me that they are so different and if I did something wrong, I'd love to learn what it was and fix it!

@virgilr I used the Fader ND on all the shots but I'll go out and try it with the lens stopped all the way down and see if that helps.

Got it. Well it goes 16, 22 so I'll just stop at 16. That should be good enough. Thanks for the help. I have to go do a camera test at a location tomorrow so hopefully I'll remember to know this out then too.

Messing around today and shot this using the GH3 matrix. Really liking this setting.

@fredfred27 Thank you! Wow, isn't the Adagio so touching?

@driftwood Thank you for your hard effort into all the GH2 projects. Your work is highly appreciated :-)

@producer The first half is only adjusted for contrast. Once the rock music kicks in there was also a tint of blue and unsharp mask.

Nick, Thanks so much for your great hack. I used it tonight for an interview. It was such a breeze to use with my GH2. This is the first hack in a long time that didn't have any spanning issues. The longest segment I recorded was about 12 minutes long. I used it with a sigma lens on one GH2 and the pancake 20 mm on the other. 24H, 1080P/24. *** NEW *** Quantum GH3 Matrix Test Setting for the GH2 ! Keep up the good work.

Shot with the BOOM! Patch. Thanks @Driftwood

Sweet video examples guys. Great work. :-)
