Gonna see this tomorrow- definitely excited to see the film as well as a bit of GH2 pixel peeping.

Although even with few users, at IMDB has 9/10 and the specialized critics speak well of the movie.

'As far as audiences are concerned, Upstream Colors certainly is something to see if you’re into brilliant technique, expressive editing, oblique storytelling, obscuritanist speculative fiction or discovering a significant new actress. Tastes running to anything even slightly more conventional should stick with what they know.' Todd McCarthy: The Hollywood Reporter

'Quite possibly the most anticipated film at the festival, Upstream Color is just as bold as Primer, though far less accessible. Like Primer, this is the kind of film that is better to go into without knowing much. Unlike Primer, it might not be possible to give away much at all. This is an experience movie with many big confusing ideas. Some will likely find brilliance in these ideas. Others will be frustrated.' Ryland Aldrich: twitchfilm.com

'Dense, beautiful, hypnotic, and almost willfully opaque, “Upstream Color” is a great movie, but it is not an inviting one. Carruth expects you to do a certain amount of the work for yourself, and for some viewers, there is no more frustrating kind of film than that.' Drew McWeeny: hitfix.com

'Shane Carruth’s 2004 time travel drama “Primer” provoked endless scrutiny for its heavy reliance on tech speak that the director refused to dumb down. His long-awaited followup, “Upstream Color,” also maintains a seriously cryptic progression that’s nearly impossible to comprehend in precise terms, but its confounding ingredients take on more abstract dimensions. An advanced cinematic collage of ideas involving the slipperiness of human experience, Carruth’s polished, highly expressionistic work bears little comparison to his previous feature aside from the constant mental stimulation it provides for its audience. This stunningly labyrinthine assortment of murky events amount to a riddle with no firm solution.' Eric Kohn: indiewire.com

This is freakin awesome. First real project of some notoriety to use the GH2, definitely gonna check this out at Sundance.

Obviously other films have been shot on the GH2, but this is definitely the first in terms of a production that will likely get a respectable release in theaters.

Great stuff!

Just spotted the GH2 is mentioned on the resumé page of the film's assistant editor:

Funny how if this was shot on one of the Canon DSLRs, the news of the director of Primer using said camera would be plastered across camera blogs and forums far and wide by now. Maybe something like that will still happen when it gets closer to Sundance; I don't really care either way (I'm not advocating for camera worship), but it does strike me as funny how different the marketing is between Canon and Panasonic for this kind of stuff.

Please provide details of hack/shutter speed/filters/picture settings!!

thanks...

It would be great if we could get the makers to come on to personal-view for some Q&A or something... :-)

As far as mind fucks go... it's 10 times the movie of "Memento" or "Inception" - For the budget; it's the greatest sci-fi movie ever made. Regardless of budget; it's in my top 5.

@christianhubbard Here is the trailer for Primer.

if you ever saw the "Primer" trailer, it seems to be Shane's MO. But "Primer" is one of the best sci-fi films I've ever seen.

@ipcmlr I doubt any production specs are published anywhere, but I can tell you that it was. A few friends/colleagues of mine worked on the film.

@elementalracer where does it say that this is shot on a GH2?
