  • Thanks Nick and Vitaliy. I had a little fun witht the jello settings on the camera here. I used sedna aq1 and some nebula 6. I'm very fond of the 80%/30fps setting and these settings worked well with this (damaged) old lens, olympus om 50mm1.4

  • @driftwood Yea that's why the video has no sound,didn't want to sound like a madman telling him to be careful with the lenses!

  • Cluster GH3 setting - Based on the theories of Cluster 6 and 7 and retuned for the GH3 matrices. I have this 'hunch' that the GH3 is using an auto Quantiser alogorithm borrowed from @cbrandin. Something similar to AQ1.

    The reason being is Gh3 base/ initial Q is = 20, however once the first few seconds have passed I have seen many recordings drop into the QP range of 8-14. The result of higher bitrate, adaptive 8x8 and 4x4 transform and an AQ value is the likely reason.

    50/60fps AVCHD modes on the GH3 do NOT use CAVLC and seemingly from Elecard tests do not use scaling matrices etc. Panasonic deemed it neccessary to use CABAC entropy encoding resulting in improvements in compression of around 5-7%.

    @EYESOUL Nice demo of the setting -just teach your boy to handle those lenses properly! ;-)

  • @Driftwood I also noticed this patch has less noise than the previous version.So If I understand correct this is "DREWnet Cluster 7" with GH3 matrix?

  • GH3onaGH2v.4... Had a little time today and took a couple of close up shots of my son "I mean a couple"this guy won't sit still to save his life..I can say I like the look of this patch a lot,no artifacts that I can make out.To my eye going through my footage and comparing it to Cluster 7 soft & sharp2 it falls between them far as detail imo.Actually I like the balance on my old manual lenses.All the footage I have took with this patch looks great and seems to hold up well when manipulating colors.I haven't come across extreme banding or anything as of yet.I put a short water shot at the end of video being they are so highly regarded .Honestly I couldn't tell you if it looks good or not,someone with a better technical eye would have to be the judge.The average bit-rate in Stream Parser was at 45bps with a 90bps peak,but that may be human error on my part.The aperture was only at f2.8 on a less than ideal lens for that type of shot.Haven't tested other modes or lowlight but 24p is very stable with in camera playback.nice work @Driftwood.

  • @exilenorth Fun to recognize the subway stops in this and Genesis. :)

  • Hey, use the light and the camera, be creative. You have been given the world and you ask for more. Come on start playing with the camera, use it. It has its limits but sometimes you will be surprised, more so than not. The masters of patch (Boom! Flat 4s on 24p Intra) @vitaliy,@driftwood,@Cbrandin@the Pasadena gang,@thepalalias...Right on. English...Jack Bruce on Harp, oh yeah...small problem with edit...nothing that can't be fixed. Thanks

  • @Charpu I would try one of the low 6gop cluster settings, that's what I use for 60p, seems to match up with the intra settings best.

  • I am personally looking for a 720p slow mo that I can scale up and make it "match" with intravenus.

  • @driftwood I'm curious and I'm sure there are others too who want to know what patch you use when you wake up in the morning for 24p? What does the man, the myth, the legend use? I like sedna C still myself and these 444 settings are pretty interesting as well.

  • Are you talking 720p modes or 80% slowdown? A lot of Driftwood Intra settings are very good. FM is good. However, Cluster v6 Nebula and DREWnet are grossly underrated. People should give them a proper tryout.

  • @Driftwood from the FM page

    Exclusive 140Mbps turbo mode boosts peak bitrate to handle 80% Slow-Motion 24H mode.

    I apologize if Driftwood settings do the same and I'm just not aware of it. I dig the AN series for its filmic look myself but since he esp asked for slow motion shots, I suggested FM.

  • @driftwood. Hope all is well. Before you move on to GH3, there is one more setting you could give to GH2 community to complete your outstanding work for GH2 and that is an all around setting that provides an Intra 24p based on one of your intra settings like Sedna, Intravenus or Boom and reliable high bitrate HBR, 1080i and 720p similar to Cluster V7 Nebula 6GOP sharp. Cheers.

  • Que?! Additional? Explain.

  • @Charpu... Dont know about matching it with Intravenus but FloMo gives you additional peak in performance during slow motion shots. So check it out

  • Hey guys! Im on the process of shooting a short film with intravenus and I am loving the results, but tomorrow I need to do a couple of slow motion shots.

    What patch will you recommend to get some good slow that will match well with intravenus?

    Thanks a lot guys! really appreciate it.

  • My short video shoot using driftwood boom v2 setting. Camera setting : 24P at 1/50 : ISO 800 : f2.8 : rokkor 50mm f1.4 lens : edit/CC using PP and MBL

  • @Nameless

    Sound like something for a seperate topic with this amount of requests ;)

  • @Namless Great stuff, and great directing. I think audio is drowned out a bit by music in the first trailer at some times, but not too much. I would also like a PM about workflow if possible.

  • @driftwood

    Just saw this. I'm downloading now and will report back. THANK YOU!

  • @Aashay +1 @kazuo if you wouldn't mind, include me in that pm. Thanks. Great work btw.

  • @Nameless, if you're sending @kazuo a pm about the workflow, send me a copy too :)

  • @Nameless, really nice work, love the colors and the overall quality of it. Congratulations and good luck

  • @Cinexa Glad you liked. Check out: http://www.youtube.com/user/ANamelessNetwork for other work.

    @GravitateMediaGroup Thank you for watching...I would love to amass the same sort of cult following as Clockwork Orange thats for sure. The actors and actresses were sourced by the production team and believe it or not at least half of them are enjoying their first time in front of a camera. Naturally Talented.

    @kazuo Thanks also. They do intend to turn into a film now the trailer is getting a good response. I used @driftwood settings. Boom on one body and Cluster 7 Drewnet Soft and Sharp on the other body. I used 20mm pancake, 14-140, konica 40mm 1.8 and vivitar 28mm f2 close focus. In regards to workflow, for the 1st part specifically I would need a whole page for that if im honest lol. If you really need it PM me.

  • @onionbrain Following your unsuccessful attempts to get a LongGOP version working of the GH3 matrices - here's a test for you and others to trial ;-) I havent had time to trial 720p50/60fps modes working only on 25pHBR/24p so you may have to lower bit rates on 720 and try copying the 3 1080i scaling matrices over and replacing the three 720 scaling matrices in that section of ptools ... See how you get on.

    Note:This is now the third variation Ive released using the GH3 matrices and deblocking.

    Best. ND

    UPDATE: Now Test 4 - Ive done the above for you! - had a quick mess with 720p and changed their scaling tables to GH3 AVCHD matrices - should be ok on death charts but let me know.

    These DREWnet settings are using 12/15 Long GOP for those who don't know.
