    @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

    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...

    Amazing, super quality, real cinema ...

    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

    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... ;)

    great great looking footage! what in camera settings did you use? (film modes, iso, etc.)
  • fehafeha
    @APXmusic

    Great work, high quality ...
  • 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!
  • danyyyeldanyyyel
    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.

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

    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. ???

    wow, amazing, well done

    Shot with "42 mbps" stable settiings
  • edunedun
    @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.
  • chipchip
    Sage,

    the woman's shot is thrilling. I must say though that camera movement, music, framing, editing do add a little cinematic feeling to those 15 seconds as well, not just 3-GOP motion ;)
  • bwhitzbwhitz
    @Sage Great stuff! Camera movement is excellent!
  • BuellerBueller
    Are people trying different frame rates, or is everyone the same. If so, I'd be very interested to know what are they?
  • ButtButt
    @Sage
    awesome
  • bwhitzbwhitz
    @edun

    Yes, the 3GOP gives us (what we feel) is more cinematic motion rendering. Some people don't see or believe that it makes a difference... it's in a heated debate right now. :)
  • SageSage
    Thank you feha, edun, chip, bhwhitz, and Butt!

    @edun
    With kae's last settings, it is possible to achieve full bitrate quality for 3 gop. (the earlier settings weren't good enough) For most though, a 6 gop with a simple 42mbps entry will be more than enough. At 6 gop, there is hardly a drop in efficiency, and the 42mbps is an excess of bitrate.
    @chip
    I agree on the shot; its a little secret hidden in there ;)

    If you want to download something ugly. Raw file. Average total bitrate 93.7mb at ISO 12800. Need to be logged into vimeo.

    The shots in the following video range from 90-96mb average at ISO 12800. The first shot is the original, the following is cleaned with Neat Video.
