Driftwood - I just wanted to say, i did a day's shoot using Moon T7 using HBR mode (Gh2 as B cam to FS700) and i'm blown away how good this stuff looks. Yes there's still all the usual GH2 flaws, noise in dark areas etc, but Moon T7 just makes this camera as good as i can imagine its ever gonna get. Really lovely settings these, It cuts with FS700 footage no problem at all and outshining it in many respects.

i'm never going back to Flowmotion!

@sleepy32 Thank you.

@Bozzie, that's really nice.

Download the latest version of Spizz T6 here and let me know your thoughts regarding 24p (other modes are being fine tuned). Its pretty special. The final version of Spizz T6 will be released shortly.>>

The test shots are pretty random and handheld (untouched, but some stabilization in post). Mostly shot in 1080p24 - a few scenes in 720p60 (slow motion). At first glance I´m pretty satisfied but please build your own opinion. If someone knows a better patch with similar datarates please let me know...

Picture Style: Standard Settings: -1, -1, +-0, -1 Kit Lens 14-140 Music: Cinema Orchestra

In case you missed it: The Soldier (Short FIlm) - Shot on a Panasonic GH2 with Cluster X Spizz Trial 5. Looking forward to T6.

@dado23 Thanks. I just add a Cinemascope croplines layer on top of the video, and exported as HD anamorphic, if thats what I think you are asking haha.

Driftwood MOON T7 quick macro test

GravitateMediaGroup

@jim_simon not quite sure the human eye can detect the difference in 24 and 23.97 very accurately, but if deep down it makes you feel better about the situation then amen, the setting you've always wanted! ; )

In my experience, Moon Trial 7 is by far the best looking footage I've ever seen from my camera. Incredibly film-like, especially when using set D, which records at a true 24 fps, not the faux 23.976 that 'video' uses.

Hey guys.

My name's Mathew. I'll be shooting a 20 minute short film with the GH2 hacked in about 10 days time. At this point I'll be experimenting with Moon T7 and the new Spizz hack this week, leading up to production. If this should go elsewhere in the forum please let me know and I've relocate it.

Could anyone recommend the best hacks in your opinion, and the accompanying settings required? I've only shot on the GH2 for a few days before this and so, I'm not aware of any of the little tricks and settings required to get the best out of the camera.

Most of it is going to be 24 1080p with about 20 seconds screen time 720p slow motion for a chase and maybe some spraying/dripping blood. I've got scenes with lots of brick and tin roofs (moire concerns), and scenes with quite a lot of brightness range, plus running water and background windy forest. I'll be mainly using the EF Canon F2.8 24-70 USM, 70-200 USM, and the tokina F2.8 11-16mm. Though it looks like I've got a 50mm F1.4 (happy).

I've been tossing up between shooting on a GH2 or the RAW ML Hack for a 5Dmkii. At this point I'm going down the GH2 direction, as I feel the GH2 is still better imo.

Questions, with any of the hacks, is it possible to live monitor while shooting Tele conv mode? Is there a way to get rid of the extra data information in the image while externally monitoring? Fastest way to dump all the files off an SD card? Have a Mac Book Pro with SD slot. I don't know what auto quantizer is. I'm going to read about that and also the best way to import and edit the footage (editor uses FCP 10).

Any help you can give will be really appreciated and sample footage etc will be posted up.

Here is a test of the Driftwood SPIZZ T6 patch. Hope it is useful...

@driftwood Spizz T6 Records, spans and plays back in camera. Only tested 720P & 1080i PAL. I don't use 24P so not testing this format. I'll leave it to the experts. Rec Quality FSH Card used standard '45' 32Gb sandisk. On these results it may be a good substitute for redshift. Nice one. Many thanks

@driftwood Moon T7 SetE works great but i still have my mind running on 24p native 24 frames hack,...any further development on Moon T7 SetD 24 Frames??

EYESOUL

@driftwood I did some test with Spizz T6 and 24p looks great! I didn't have any write errors but I did notice some files wouldn't playback in camera.

I have a request @driftwood:

Would you release a moderated anamorphic versions of Moon T7 and Drewnet T9, please?

Of course, I mean the MJPEG mode settings. Is it possible to mix the anamorphic variations settings with the newest settings of T9 for MJPEG?

Please, driftwood, you're the expert, do such a releases.

Big thanks in advance!

Looking forward to trying Spizz. I have a wedding with three GH2's on wedding so I'll be sure to mark with colored tape which has Spizz on it. Should be fun

GOP3 battle: Flowmotion v202 is completely DESTROYED by forthcoming Katsu @bkmcwd /Driftwood Spizz T6 with Cluster X technology. Video below;-

Spizz quantisation QPs average 3, FlowMotion averages 17. (Low is best). Indeed all the new Cluster X series settings are comparable to GOP/bitrate = Stunning quality.

Spizz T6 will be released over the next few days. :-)

Howdy, Stranger!
