Here is a short teaser for a film i shot with Driftwood Quantum v9 setting and old manual nikon lenses.

@elkanah77 That was fuckin' sweet.

@peaceonearth There is no 720p advantage to shooting Mysteron Burst vs. Mysteron as far as I could tell in my testing. The big difference between the two is 24H. So I would just use Mysteron if I were going that route.

Mysteron's 720P stability/spanning is higher than that of Sedna, but the Sedna options may provide higher image quality if it is sufficently stable. I shot the slow-motion for Joanna St. Claire's music video (where the GH2 was used, at least) in Sedna AQ1 C with a 1/4000 shutter for the most part. I used Mysteron when filming a martial arts exhibition match. While my 720P testing is less extensive than my 24H testing, those are the two settings (pre-Canis Majoris) I would look at first. Sanity was what I used before Sedna.

As for CM, it remains to be scene how each version will perform in that respect.

@peaceonearth

Yeah I really like their music. I am not sure what model the jib was but I remember that the brand was EZ-jib (it must have been a really old model, at least 10 years old) =P

I just received my Sandisk 64GB 95mbts cards in the mail and wanted to do a quick test of the Mysteron Burst hack as my last cards could only handle the most simple scenes. It definitely could not handle a hand held shot of this bush outside my house. I shot this at 160 ISO, 50fps. 9 aperture and set the white balance to a more blue setting to avoid that noisy red channel. I then Clip Wrapped the MTS file, so as to maintain the high bit rate and then imported it into Final Cut Pro to match the settings of the original video. Then I brought the white balance back over towards the red and added a very very mild sharpness as the camera had every setting to -2 for the shot. This file you are looking at is a compressed version of the original. Vimeo won't play the original. Perhaps I am doing something wrong. But, as you know, if you want to see what this hack is achieving then you really need to download the original. There are key things in this file that you don't see. Here is the link to that original that you will only have the option to download it vimeo.com/41414137 When I first saw the footage I was happy with the clarity and resolve but I still wondered if my stock GH2 could have done the same. I think it could have come very close. But then as I watched it over and over, I began to see things that confirmed to me the strength of this hack. This is why you have to download the original if you are interested in what this hack can do. In the first shot, there is a cobweb flying in the wind that you see. The second shot is what did it for me. There is a fine misty rain happening in the shadows of the trees. It was the kind of rain where you can't really tell if it's raining or not. You can actually see the tiny raindrops in the darkest parts of the image. I know that the stock GH2 would not have picked these things up. It may have shown elements of it in a couple of frames here and there, but this hack resolves this finite detail all through the video. Now, while we don't care about cob webs, we do care that this hack will look for every chance it can to repeat the details that were in any of our shots to make them more real and visceral. I hope this helps someone. I know I was scratching my head for the longest time, staring at footage and saying to myself, "really???? I don't really see it." Well, here it is in my very first test. I shot it with my Zuiko 35-100 which is tac sharp. God, I love that lens! It's the only 2.0 prime that zooms! Just a quick note of interest: I was able to record as long as I wanted with this card and this super high hack. I was not able to transfer it to the computer or record a second clip after that, even though there was room on the card. I could play it in camera but there is something overwhelming that happens to long clips that I have to figure out. The card would not even mount on the desktop. Strange. I plan to use this hack a little stepped down and see if I can get similar results. 176mbts maybe. Put it this way, I did a controversial test on the GH2 compared to the RED Epic that I rented for four days. If 1080p was all you cared about delivering, then this cam would stand toe to toe with that RED. I guarantee it!!! Bring on the hate. RED may have more color to grade but if you can control your conditions (which most film guys can) then I would happily film next to a RED with this little puppy. Hats off to Driftwood and his running mates. :0)

@bueller Thanks man! Please tell your friends. I have a lot of fun making it.

@Adde...awesome vid mate...what lens did used for the video

@APX that was crazy entertainment yo.

I put up pictures of comparisons of Sedna AQ1A & C, Mysteron, Mysteron Burst and a few others with the Canis Majoris versions released so far. http://www.personal-view.com/talks/discussion/comment/59978#Comment_59978

Great info!

Thanks.

@Grrek_m43

Love the shots. Wonderful skin tones! What shutter did you shoot with? 1/40th? 1/50th? What lens were you using for the face CU and the eye ECU? Finally, what setup did you use for the underwater shot?

Thanks.

Here's a video we shot in about thirty minutes and edited together in about the same amount of time. Forgive the roughness, lack of continuity, and slightly too loud volume.

It was done using the Quantum Orion 4vB. It's somewhat compressed and has no color correction.
