  • @davidhjlindberg :color grading is amazing!!!...love your work

  • @davidhjlindberg, amazing piece there! Love it. This's another solid piece made with that GH2 that I have seen so far. Great work! Keep up the good work.

  • @davidhjlindberg Been waiting on this for some time now Bro LOve your Work

  • @disastronaut use conversation pm only please! See the group you were added to ? :-)

    @davidhjlindberg Simply brilliant. Well done David.

  • One battery-removing lockup 7 seconds in with Cluster v6 RC 2. Static scene, HBR mode, Smooth -2-2-2-2, manual lens, SanDisk 64GB 95MB/s. Was not able to reproduce issue in subsequent attempts. Image quality is some of the best I've seen using HBR mode.

  • I've been trying "Globular" Cluster V5 last night, image quality is awesome and bitrate is less crazy than Sedna AQ1. However I have random issues reading the video within camera. At first everything was fine. Then "Unable to read the video file" message was displayed on the LCD (affecting both video and stills !) I am using 16 Go Sandisk SD HC Card Class 10 (30Mo/sec) When camera is switched off and on the video can be played.

    Does someone have information to share on this problem? Thanks

    PS : I may try the new Cluster V5.1 (Sedna Based) but it seems "beta"

  • @davidhjlindberg What adapter for the samyang did you use?

  • @davidhjlindberg Nice work! How did you do the slo-mo part with her hair flowing like it was shot with 1000fps?

  • David, Wow, very nice work here man! As you know Nostalgic is warm to start.
    Also, Nostalgic is by far the noisest of the GH2 profiles, but some like the grain it offers.

  • Hi people,

    Just want to share this film though it's all thanks to Driftwood and Vitaly I wanted to create this film and show everyone the sharpness and quality you can get from this little camera. It's also an experiment to see how hard you can go on the grading even though the codec isn't really made for that kind of stuff. It worked pretty good, better than I thought actually even though we all know it's not perfect in some way. But still, it's very cheap equipment and compared to many other cameras with the same prices it's really good!

    I was using the old Orion v4b, Nostalgic (-2-2-2-2). I can't say I recommend Nostalgic though I had a hard time to get the skin tones back, it seemed to often get blown out while the rest of the scene could be really dark.

    The lens was Samyang 35mm 1.4

  • Hey guys, I shot this last Friday with Orion v4b. When we left to shoot the lighting was great but then the storm started to roll in and you can't see it very well but it was raining just about the entire shoot. Almost all handheld and shot on the 14-42 kit lens. Rough edit, and not releasing this one but take a look.

  • @driftwood Sir, you have PM, uploaded the file mentioned in post #7, page 10. Thanks a lot!

  • @driftwood thank you very much for such promising words sir... by the way i am testing Canis DayPM tomorrow in some strange abandoned places.my team members fixed time between 1pm to 5pm.i will report back once its uploaded. further i have plans to buy one more gh2 yet not confirmed as i am waiting for some serious projects and commitments to invest in.i will hope for each cam with an individual patch CM night pm and am all together. wish me good luck!!

  • @rajamalik I dont doubt that Night will perform well in the day. If you are happy with your tests stick to what you feel good with.

  • @driftwood i know canis is the best. because i already tested CM night very well. i love it. but you mentioned its meant only for night. but in my shooting it performed well at day too. if i take canis here we have CM Night and CM PM.which one i should take? i have morning afternoon evening and night shots. i have 2 gh2 and mostly panny lenses. i will be getting nikon 50mm and 85mm primes in couple of days. so is it fine i can load up canis night for all the time and run the show or i should wait to get all am pm night to cross work with my cams????????????

  • Hey all, been lurking for quite some time now & trying to post my first video. Many thanks to all involved with the hacks!

    Just a quick test clip using Driftwood Mysteron, a Glidecam & Olympus 12mm f2 to test the hands-free autofocus.

    FWIW, the GH2 running Mysteron has taken everything I can throw at it & never once crapped out. Lots of motion, 45 minute clips (spanning is great) 30fps, you name it. I'm running the 64 gig San disk extreme pro.

    Apologies for the vignette... this lens does not like 3 52mm filters stacked on it!

  • @rajamalik All Canis Majoris settings show an even tighter grain in my opinion but theyre all very close with just that chroma/luma look apart. It really is 'horses for courses' and what looks good to you now.

  • @driftwood dont be sorry sir. it was taken in a old south indian zoo. we spent 9 hrs continues run to get some cool wild animal behaviors. that bear danced for almost 1 hr,,, he never got tired may be once he was a singer / dancer,..lol...then a lot more....

    there are only less than 2500 tigers in the world. this is a very bad thing what we did to this exotic animal. white tigers are very rare to be found. its said there are only 300 or less white tigers exists in this world.only one tiger gives birth out of 100 in this white bengal breed.the golden tiger is only 25 or less in number globally.

    we are planning to take a short film only on tigers. my team "ares talkies" will release a commercial short film on "save tiger project" wish us good luck to get some real wild footage of tigers from south and north indian mountains.

    @driftwood thank you for such a superb hack like quantum v9b (new) its so good even after 4k conversion. but i need a suggestion from you on this.is there any better patch available which hold maximum quality and details for 4k conversion??? what should i take (using final cut pro x, magic bullet 11, crumple pop suites, 5d to rgb) ????????????

  • Looks good @rajamalik - sorry Im away from usual puter at moment - at work on edit :-)

  • @driftwood did you watched this sir??? its actually a rush..the original footage is over 30min and its superb.

    its new quantum v9b sedna adapted matrix ,...super friendly patch sir,.. i converter it to 4k prores 422 hq. it is superb and no blur or worst results even in 4k.

    i realized even the old hacks are eligible to project in 4k cinema screens.

    i will convert one of the short films to 35mm soon.

    sir do you have any suggestions over quantum v9b for 4k transfer??

    i asked you the same 2 days ago and still i didnt receive any answer from u sir. my shoot is on july 1st.

    should i go with quantum or is there any better for 4k conversion??

  • @driftwood The classic "leaves moving in the wind" scene :) iDynamic off. Anyway, I retested it using a manual Canon FD lens and a 45 MB/s SanDisk card, same result.

  • Hi, can anyone let me know what IDynamic is? I am missing something...PM is good not get out of topic, thanks
