GH2 Stalin samples topic

    @Sage: Oh my! That IS cinematic motion (and BEAUTIFUL colors there!). Excuse me for not reading all recently, but is the 'gop 3' setting the base used for all/most patches now? Is this also what gives this real nice motion? I remember there being a discussion where it was either very nice motion OR very high quality. This looks like both.

    umm . . . I'm watching the bwhitz clip and it goes all blocky and jerky on me. If I pause and click along the timeline it looks great, but it won't play properly. ???

    @bwhitz >>I was actually going to post this up at RedUser as Epic footage, but I'm thinking I may have gotten death threats upon the big "surprise! It's actually GH2 footage!" reveal. Damn, should have done it anyways... ;) <<<br />


    LOL... Now that would have made my day.

    Very very good image, I wanted to know about how the image holds up to the grading. Most people who use the camera image as is won't see that big quality improvement from the stock image. That is why you will see people questioning the hack, but for those that have tried to lift the dark part even only a little bit, will see how huge it is.

    @bwhitz
    Just a suggestion. Why don't you post the video in the low gop thread, because perhaps it would more appropriate to talk the technical details their.
  • bwhitzbwhitz
    Also forgot to mention that most of these shots are ISO 1250!!! It's crazy good!!! The shots in the subway train are ISO 640! Although... I do suspect that Panasonic rates ISO values lower... ISO 1250 on the GH2 looks like ISO 800 on a 7D. Or maybe Canon rates theirs higher? I dunno, it's great either way! The noise on the GH2 with this hack looks like straight up film grain, I love it!

    @last_SHIFT

    yep, these are kae's exact settings... actually, I think they are the first ones he posted, I'm pretty sure he has revised them since then... Nice work Kae! Also, thanks to Vitally for making amazing footage like this possible! And all coming from a $1000 camera!!!... just amazing how we're able to get such quality for so little theses days!

    Thanks for all the support GH2 community! We're on to something big!

    @Ian_T

    yea, I've also noticed the footage looks allot like Red... I didn't want to say it first, in fear of the backlash (lol), but it is strikingly similar. I was actually going to post this up at RedUser as Epic footage, but I'm thinking I may have gotten death threats upon the big "surprise! It's actually GH2 footage!" reveal. Damn, should have done it anyways... ;)

    @bhwitz

    Absofuckingluetely gorgeous. Really awesome look and feel - and the blacks held up amazingly well. Are these settings identical to kae's save for max 50 bit rate?

    Cheers

    @bwhitz

    Amazing, super quality, real cinema ...
  • nic2011nic2011
    A side-by-side comparison hacked/unhacked of these scenes would be interesting. I suppose you would get exact the same results with an unhacked GH2...
  • mistanmistan
    @bwhitz, I cant believe I just watched that video and thought it looked amazing and "HD" wasnt even turned on! And it still looked HD! I think that's the 1st time I've ever been tricked like that. I cant usually tell right off. Excellent footage
  • cosimo_bullocosimo_bullo
    I agree with Ian, by the way. We own a RED (non mx) and the DR and noise looks very similar.
  • HillTop1HillTop1
    @bwhitz, that's just amazing, looks great!!
  • TimeZoneTimeZone
    @bwhitz
    That is excellent! Really great looking footage, looks like part of a short or movie. Is this straight out of camera or did you do cc? Also what film profile setup are you using?

    Maybe this belongs in another topic, but what does everyone think now about what film profile & custom settings to use, especially with the hack? Does the hack make you think differently in how you do set the film profile up?
  • Ian_TIan_T
    @bwhitz: You're killing me. That looks like R1 footage.
  • cosimo_bullocosimo_bullo
    @bwhitzL: Amazing.

    As promised, here's APXmusic's video, in uncompressed glory. Mp4 format, about 750mb. May not be the fastest download you've ever done either, but it's a fantastic video.

    Link removed - sorry, too many pulling this down right now.
