Let me know what you guys think. Any helpful advice/tips are encouraged. Thanks!

shot 95% of this in 2 days just to do a little more testing of the weight of the BMCC on a Glidecam HD2000 and a 12ft CobraCrane. I didn't put a whole lot of time into grading, and this isn't a video showing off DR, raw ability or flaws, just simple "FLoATing BMCC" video. If you notice I purposely shot on some rough terrain to see if any jello would pop up but It did fine.

As I lately watch mostly India and France made films :-)

Mission: Learn how to create and avoid GH2 visual hangups.

Setup: Flowmotion 2.02 24H Sony Vegas 12 (Basic Editing) External Recording setup utilizing Booming and Wireless

Concerns (How to cause it) (How to Avoid)

Vignetting:

Banding:

Judder:

ISO Bug (I am well versed on that one)

Not too concerned with shooting flat. Going to be lighting things pretty close to how I want them. No really dark scenes.

Action:

Hand to hand combat, A foot chase, Driving, but will use green screen and Go Pro for that.

Here is a short that was shot last September that was recently finished. I did editing and some post production, it was written & directed by friend of mine.

Enjoy!

Here's a short we shot with Moon T5. http://www.poptent.net/share/asqq/3

We used the SLR Magic 25mm 0.95 and the Panny 14mm 2.5.

Once again, big thanks to Driftwood and Vitaliy!!

The second short came about when I first saw the author Ivan Dimitrov, during a literary reading called "The Homeless on Sunday" held at a hostel in Sofia, Bulgaria. He seemed to live on his own terms and I hope I made at least a bit interesting character-driven documentary.

If you have any questions I'll be glad to answer. Any feedback will be much appreciated as well.

Here's the link to a short film I shot on Gh2, "Saga Seed"

Hope you like it!

Hope you enjoy it. :)

So we're doing what we've coined "reverse-crowdfunding"...we put up the money for the film first and are now using the legitimacy of IndieGoGo to clear debt/deferred payments and distribute by offering a pay-what-you-want download for backers.

Our feature was really low budget, but feels and looks very relevant...especially to someone in their 20s....but you be the judge. I'm interested to hear what people think of this strategy. Surely we'll make lots of mistakes & learn a lot, let me be the guinea pig.

Here's our links:

Thanks for feedback & opinions...we've never quite seen anyone go about distribution this way before...

GH2 Moon trial 5 Rokinon Cine lenses 24mm T1.5 35mm T1.5 Premiere pro CS5.5

Cinematography and direction by me

I typically shoot with 'Smooth' all at -2, but that's so I get a very flat, gradable image. I will probably transcode the AVCHD files straight to an internet ready H.264 file, but I have no plans of grading any of it.

I am planning to make a short film in the beginning of April (about 3-5 filming days). My main locations are in Guildford, Surrey, UK. Basically I am looking for Panasonic GH2 equipment, so perhaps someone local would be interested to help with that.

Most importantly I am looking for fast Voigtlander lenses (17.5mm, 25mm) and SLR Magic (12mm). I only found 25mm. If there any other rental website with a bigger choice of lenses, please let me know. Also I am looking for a small power generator for outside filming, lighting (LEDs, spotlights), slider and a strong wind shield for a microphone (record exterior dialogue on the hill). If someone has GH3, that would be quite an interesting option as well!

Please PM me, if you can help with something. I can provide more information about the film if needed.

Best,

Gleb

VK - no need to attach huge poster

Also a big thanks to Vitaliy, Driftwood and all the testers for the Senda hack that was used on this film.

lookin for name of film effect or a place to download something similar to this, any help would be greatly appreciated!

thanks

These are the first shots from a longer short we're trying to put in some festivals. Thought I'd just post some stand-alone edits of quick scenes to see how it's playing to people. Not really much to it yet, but I just wanted to post up some bits as we go along. Thanks for watching!

-Production Info-

Body: GH2

Patch: Intavenus 'Cinema Smooth'

Check out my latest short film 'A Day in 1951'

Please feel free to leave any comments.

This was shot with

GH2 running Canis Majoris Night Lenses; SLR Magic 12mm / Voigtlander 25mm / Zeiss ZF 1.4 50mm

These lenses are so sharp, crystal clear and well built with smooth focusing so for an almost giveaway price you should really consider looking into them. A must buy if you are on a budget.

This was made in 3 weeks including devising a storyline and pre-production. All comments are appreciated and I will answer any questions you have.

Thanks, Aaron.

Now you can find out what cameras, what lenses, etc were used to shoot certain films, also if they were strictly DI, or transferred to film for their final master/negative.

Very interesting to see what lenses were used on certain films. I wish they had more details, such as which camera used which lenses when listing the cameras.

I'm an imagination person first. There's a theme park carnival universe in my head / heart - then I'm an an actor, then a writer, then a director, then a DP and then an editor (I think... the orders of those things switch around a lot - and I'm not including music or broadcasting or hosting which I did a lot of too).

Somehow after or before or quantum sideways of that I have something to do with the Thrice Great Okapi but let's not get into that now. Why must you readers always distract me? Oh wait, you haven't read this yet. It's me who's distracting me. So sorry, let me get on with it:

As the title says. Digital Film Making Finally Beats Chemical Film Making.

I just viewed Prometheus. This article is not so much about the movie plot or merits. It was OK. OK it was a little better than OK... I'd say 3 stars out of 4 for you geeks out there. It was dark and highly predictable in that same way that so many sci fi movies are with their ominous shots of Halo like activity that we've seen so many times before but it was a [i]fairly[/i] good movie none the less and the visuals are amazing!

The focus here is that it was shot, edited, and projected entirely digitally. No chemical film. Remember when CDs had AAD, DAD, DAA OR DDD? Well this was the DDD of motion pictures (and then in 3D too so really it's almost DDD+3D). I viewed it in 3D on dual 8K digital projectors from a digital source (it was shot on Red Epic digital cameras with Zeiss Ultra Prime and Angenieux Optimo Lenses) and I was so impressed that it led me to write this column that will only be appreciated by hard core film or motion picture buffs, fellow film makers, or total and absolute techy nerds.

I apologize to my regular 'wacky guy with a hat" audience about the extreme levels of techy geek I am about to enter but I am compelled to write on this for my film making friends. We really need to change that terminology to 'motion picture' or 'movie' making, because old school film making is finally really dead and unnecessary. OOPS I just blew my whole article away! That was a huge spoiler... oh well ...crap...so anyway I thought I'd give the above disclaimer, and now having done that... here we go!

Chemical film is finally dead. Let me make it clear I don't say this with any sort of hatred of chemical film like it is some witch or beast that needed to be slayed. I LOVED the look of it, but it was/is just way too expensive. People who had the money liked this fact as it keep them in some sort of elitist control club. I did not. I used to have fantasies of stealing panavision film equipment when I found out they only rented and didn't sell film cameras and related equipment. I say this as a LOVER of the motion picture 24p chemical film look who has been on a loooong (add as many o's as you need to make that long really looooong) quest to make movies that looked like what...well... movies looked like... well.. at the movies!!!

I was not once ever satisfied with my 60i vhs or 8mm or hi8 or super v or even later with supposed masters work on the digitally shot and digitally projected movies from the Star Wars fiascos to the IMAX lies (especially in 3D) until now.

Watching Prometheus on dual 8K projectors was the first time I could sit closer than mid row and be absolutely immersed in the entire film without seeing the artifacts of digital film making or 3D problems. The picture was as detailed as I have ever seen - other than some outstanding real (chemical film) IMAX 3D films - but nearly the same, and there were no pixels, the brightness was excellent, the 3D did not flicker. I mean seriously - holy s*%t it finally works! Give someone a gold star sticker!!!
