OK, not to dig up a old topic here, but I got a (possibly) stupid question. To deal with this spanning issue, is it possible with the hack to just tell the camera to stop bloody well cutting off file size at 4 gigs? Where does the 4 gig limit come from? Could this be fixed with a future version of ptools? @Vitaliy_Kiselev, thoughts?
On a completely unrelated note, a DoP I work with a lot has just done a thorough, controlled skin-tone test putting the gh2 up against a canon (think a 60D but can't remember). We're going to be doing a professional colour correct on Monday night and I'll share the link when he's got it up -- should be interesting. Although not talked about a lot, the skin tone rendition of this camera is pretty amazing, especially with driftwood's latest couple of patches.
@PerryWilson QuantMeBaby is still a champ, but your right the blue issue in something we have to deal with with this patch, every patch got it's ups & down we gonna figure a work-around like a little bit of noise reduction can be added to the footage, just a tad bit. As far as the settings goes I'm using lighting, Custom.W.B & the profiles to get the look that I want out the camera. You right gonna check your cage out. Got a quick question what color grading soft do you use, was just doing some research on Davinci Resolve looking nice..
IDK man I still prefer QuantMeBaby... I hate the blue grain issue especially in the sky :/ and what you workin on @TrackZillas? did you figure out picture settings? now all you need is the cage im makin
@PerryWilson lol.. Love this little camera Perry gonna turn it into a real movie making machine, putting together some special settings will keep you posted. @jspatz Yep reAquainted all the way Baby yeah!!!! @driftwood did his thing with that patch..
Here's the FTP site for a street performer I filmed randomly the other day. I'm still working on getting the original .mts file up there. I'll let you know as soon as it's available. These are ProRes HQ.
Yeah, too much denoiser on that sweater! I stupidely tried to calibrate my monitor recently and so TrackZillas original .pngs looked really dark, but I'm now on a friend's laptop and the balance of light doesn't look as bad. I used magic bullet looks, a combination of fill light, telecine and 3 strip process. Also I cut back a bit on saturation. Despite the noise, GH2 + reAUainted is looking pretty, pretty, pretty good!
Well I tried the reAQuainted last night and combined it with C_Brandin's 720p settings only for 32MB. I think the cost of occasional crashing, short clip lengths and camera playback problems is not worth it to me personally. Granted-I didn't try to color grade the footage --- Went back to the 44MB for the time being because its a huge improvement over stock and I find these to be more stable for me. will try these again after the next Ptool I think.
