Background
These shots were taken as pick-ups to be included in the more complex, official "Shack in the "Back with Us" music video. The official video is produced/edited by LA filmmaker Todd Segal which includes fancy cars, flying objects and more complex elements.

This edit is intended to provide material for filmmakers using or considering the GH system as a filmmaking tool.

Camera used for this shoot:
Filmed entirely with Panasonic Gh2 (hacked).

Lenses:
Standard Panasonic 4/3 lenses...
Primary... 14 - 140mm w/ OS on
100-300mm w/OS on... used sparingly
7-14mm was used for one shot... overhead crane-up shot from drums.

Settings
Motion JPEG/HD, 30fps

Support Gear
Entire shoot was hand held, excepting a couple of specialty shots (crane up from drums and rotation shot in which a basic 557B Manfrotto mono-pod was used. (The OS on both the 14-140mm and the 100-300mm are exceptional and greatly minimize stability issues).

Edit:
The footage is straight out of the camera as shot, except processing to remove some sensor noise (^ISO) which was prominent in a few clips. Neat Video was used (fantastic plug-in) for this purpose... and only in automatic mode.

Posted on Final Cut 7. (I did not find FCPX to be useful for this edit. (Just couldn't quite make the jump due to multi- clip sync issues)

Lighting:
Two or three desk lamps

Production:
About 3 hours of shooting. Filmed at Shack in the Back Studios. (somewhere out there:)

The official (music video) will be released in the very near future and will include elements filmed by Todd Segal which were previously shot entirely on the GH1 hack platform. Should be interesting to compare the Gh1/Gh2 platforms in the same mix. Stay turned
