For a Hacked GH2, Is a recording limit of 3 minutes 57 seconds normal if recording limit is left on?

Dr_Mabuse — Thu, 09 May 2013 12:00:09 +0000

I just hacked my GH2 for the first time with Canis Majoris Day. I forgot to check the recording time limit box in, and the camera now only records for 3 mins 57 seconds. Is this simply because of the high bitrate? It's not even something I mind, since I used to do a lot of work on film and each roll would last less than that. I'm asking just to make sure there's nothing wrong. It's the first time I've done this.

Just finished a music video. We ran into some issues originally but God worked it out. As most places I know some of you might be partial to religious content but I would like you to comment on the technicalities of the video(lighting, camera work, framing). I would like some tips as well on how to better approach our next video. Also if someone could give me some advice on handling flare with lighting setups, especially since i have a canon fd and it seems to flare alot and veil flare.

Let It Rain - A Rainy Day Shoot

There was a hailstorm here last week. Luckily we had the camera with us at the right time. Our friends had a really good time playing in the rain, we tried to capture some of the enjoyable moments and thought of making it into a small music video. Also this is the first time we tried to pull off some ultra slow motion shots with our Canon 550D. Hope you all like it. Thanks

After Effects from a N00b

We shot part of our first short film earlier last year as a bit of an exercise for learning film making. The rushes were adequate in quality, but there were things all over the place that were wrong...and still are :-). Oh, and we're doing the acting ourselves for now, as we don't have the heart to involve anyone who can even remotely act, to our amateur film crew. This exercise has put us a few steps closer to feeling more confident however.

Anyway, in an effort over Christmas, having a little time to myself, I decided to embark on learning a bit more about After Effects. And what better footage to work on than our incomplete short. We'd done a few edits and quick grades, but nothing serious, so now was the time.

First of all, the script called for this to be set at night time, and we'd shot in the daylight. Plus, there was supposed to be a character that magically appears in the garage, and we'd left the bloody side door open! We also wanted to add some form of special effects, knowing full well it would look cheesy, we just didn't want it to look like we'd drawn them on with crayons.

I've put together a few screencasts of our learning process and what we did, and I just thought they might be useful to anyone that is very new to all of this. These are by no means tutorials though, just commentary around what we did, why and our learning experience.

Learning After Effects Commentary: Crop, Levels, Day for Night

Learning After Effects Commentary: Light Effects and Motion Tracking

And here was the result of my learning efforts, which I was quite pleased with considering how much of a novice I am.

Camera: Panasonic GH2 (Unhacked)
Lens(es): Panasonic 14-140 4-5.8
Software: After Effects/Premiere Pro CS5.5, 5DtoRGB Batch, Red Giant (Looks, Shine), Video CoPilot (Optical Flares)

Hope its useful to someone.
