(Damn. Can't delete this.)

@Brian_Siano You know, I wish I knew. I've gotten into arguments with very hard headed people on this board about it and refuse to get into it again. It's come up time and time again that if you want the best performance out of the larger hacks, get that big card. Since I bought all of mine, I have never had a problem with any hack once the bugs were worked out. Some people might say their smaller cards work, but then others have failures. Have you tried FM2.2 or whatever?

You need the 64GB card to get the best results.

Allrighty! First project shot with the GH2!

This is a trailer for a stage production of Judith Thompson's "Palace of the End", directed by Robert Langford. He is, by the way, the owner of the GH2- I'm just the tech guy! Due to the nature of the project I cannot embed the video directly here.

Shot with AN BOOM! at 24L, smooth -2 -2 -2 0. ISO 400. Lenses used: Pentax M 50mm f/1.4 and Tamron adaptal2 bbar 80-210 (not an SP!).

Shot in two passes, one with the 50mm and then the zoom so as the actors would be comfortable without having to a lens a foot from their nose.

I did not grade the footage- I was DP/cameraman on the shoot. It was a rush job- shot on Saturday, edited that night, and put online Sunday by Robert Langford. I wanted to help grade, but my own business kept me from doing so as well as the time constraints.

Audio is from camera- using a Sennheiser omni mic through an impedance-matching box. Oh yeah, music is by me (doing it for the production as well).

A test with my newly acquired Gh2 and 14-42mm kit lens

I briefly tried Sanity 5.1, but the sharp, sterile and aliased look turned me off and I went back straight to 'Apocalypse Now' 444 soft matrix!

Stock with Nostagic vs Cluster v7 'Apocalypse Now' 12/15 GOP (DREWnet) with cbrandin '444 Soft Matrix' with Standard profile, raw footage straight from the camera. See 3:05 for low aliasing and moire... In HBR mode for both

I took some more footage today, just after dawn and it was beautiful, looked cinematic and film like straight from the camera!

@maxmontea That's funny. I did the very same thing a long time ago. I thought I was logged on and couldn't figure it out. Drove me crazy! :)

@gravitatemediagroup: i would also not say that moon kills every other setting. For 24p its my favourite right now, but there are many other wonderful settings, some i like better for their grain, like intravenus1 or valkyrie. But i think 20 posts arguing what is and what is not just makes it harder to oversee and find the necessay informations, because the thread becomes bloated. But in general i agree, people with semi-knowledge giving verdicts also spread a lot of misunderstanding and misconcepts. Maybe you have a suggestion for a minimum kind of knowledge or other criteria that has to be fulfilled in order for people being allowed to post. I could not find any yet for public forums. As there is also only a thin line between knowledge and opinion. In the end this is Vitaliys castle, he decides...

I guess I kinda saw it coming cz @rajamalik.. I do believe your intentions are good but kindly refrain from making superlative comments about everything that varies in matter in days or weeks cause then you are not really giving out helpful suggestions. A little while back you suggested to me that using Sony Vegas would improve my editing experience but I found nothing to support it. It turned out to be a problem of using long gop setting which is more taxing on my PC than say Intra or 3gop setting. Now I use Spizz and I like it a lot. Migrated from FM and gotto say, I'll be shooting my next feature on Spizz or Moon, PS- I also live good 6-7 months of the year in India and kindly don't say things like "Its diff in India" and not elaborate on it. It puts the country in bad light. Granted how things work in India is v diff from how things work in UK but don't let it be an excuse for anything. You just gotto Adapt. @gravitatemediagroup Rok 35 and Sigma 30 please. and some moving shots.

LOL, funny one .. seems to be a OT-Thread now ^^

@Mirrorkisser thats a good idea. i removed all of em.

@luxis amen brother!!

@MbhuyKo, I'm wondering what settings you've used that match a hacked GH2 with the GH3. I'm shooting both and trying to match Cluster with straight GH3 settings. Have any luck there? Thanks, Kevin
