Short Film - "Counterfeit"
@Xenocide38 in terms of sound, the scenes that I thought the sound was a bit strange, "digital" and video-ish were the opening scene (two guys inside the car sounded strange)-- I guess that's the Countryman lav. The moment they got o…

Short Film - "Counterfeit"
It's a good short. Congratulations! The lighting was quite interesting in some shots. The only think that I was not very fond of was the sound quality. What was your audio setup? Which mics, recorders, mixers etc? Also, how much did the wh…

GH1 vs GH2 vs GH3 vs GH4. Better looking sensor.
@RRRR There's no mystification involved. I've shot 16mm and had a brief experience with 35mm (I think it was Kodak Vision3 5219). I wouldn't say that I'm a cinematographer or a DP, I'm more of a writer/director and theref…

@BurnetRhoades what a nonsense... I never said Roger Deakins was the first one, and of course there were many cinematographers long before him.

@endotoxic > Why i make this thread? Cos no ones has discussed this 3 cameras in not only technical view, but on a final result as an image from sensor codec lens. The only way to answer that question would be to arrange for something like one …

GH1 vs GH2 vs GH3 vs GH4. Better looking sensor.
@RRRR ,@Aria , @endotoxic if by DR you mean the Dynamic Range, then I'd say it is THE most important factor that separates Film from Digital. Film has roughly 16 usable stops. It shows Black as "more black" than what our eye is used…

Recommendations for Editing Stations under $3K?
@Jspatz read the long post above that I wrote about my own build around the i7-3930K. You can actually do it for around $2K. GTX650 seems to me as a waste of resources if you are building a video editing machine. Read the article link that I pos…

GH1 Crop factor 2 or 1.8 ?
@tetakpatak @stonebat @cbrandin thank you all for taking the time to explain this in technical detail. For video, I'll keep in mind 1.91-2.08 (2X to be simple) > Those lenses labeled with same focal length have slightly different FOV. Tha…

I wonder how long before the Chinese start making copies of speed-booster and selling it on eBay for $30 :)

GH1 vs GH2 vs GH3 vs GH4. Better looking sensor.
@Aria > We can kind of think of these cameras as different Film Stocks! Yep, that's one way of thinking about it. GH13 for a normal day 100-320 ISO, GH2 for 800 ISO and GH3 for even higher, but what I have noticed from footages by others i…

GH1 vs GH2 vs GH3 vs GH4. Better looking sensor.
Wow... there are quite a few people who prefer GH13 texture over GH2 and GH3. For a while now, I was beginning to think that I was crazy, or maybe of just bad taste. @endotoxic one of the most recurring confusions is that sensitivity is ISO. Not re…

Video-Friendly Lenses for Lumix DSLRs
@LPowell what about Sigma 8-16mm F4.5-5.6 ??? (If it works as a manual focus lens on GH2 or GH1, it would be a great wide-angle rectilinear solution for m43)

GH1 vs GH2 vs GH3 vs GH4. Better looking sensor.
Part of being a film director is having a vision, knowing what you want and sticking to your guns. In a way it has to do with confidence, rather than stubbornness. When I first saw the GH13 vs hackedGH2 footages, I immediately knew that I liked GH…

@RRRR the word "cinematic"hasbeen used wrongly millions of times, but we know what is being meant by it - how closely can a camera emulate the look of a 35mm film stock. That's it there's no need to get hung up on it. Cinematic…

GH1 Crop factor 2 or 1.8 ?
I just need a number to keep in my head so that I can multiply the mm of the lenses when shooting GH1 video in AVCHD (I guess that's the 16:9 aspect ratio). 1.86 came from other threads, so I got confused- what thatnumber is 2 or 1.86

@Vitaliy_Kiselev What's the dynamic range of a hacked GH1 and GH2? I can't find this information anywhere on internet. Please help.

@EYESOUL Totally agree with you. This is what I've been saying all along http://www.personal-view.com/talks/discussion/451/hacked-gh1-vs.-hacked-gh2/p4 and This has been my approach all along: if you already have a GH13, instead of spending …

Hacked GH1 vs. Hacked GH2
Okey, we all know that hacked GH2 is a better camera than GH13, and GH3 is better than GH2. BUT... here is a provocative question:if you forget about the price and put the same glass on all cameras, which one will look most cinematic??? Please no…

Metabones lens speed booster adapter, focal reducer
@Micah but Speed Booster is said to work only for the Full Frame lenses, while Sigma 8-16mm is already an APS-C lens. So, correct me if I'm wrong, but the Speed Booster wouldn't work on Sigma 8-16mm lens.

@Micah do you mean this Sigma lens? because it's already out. or didyou mean another Sigma lens? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dmGOsEBWRAw WHAT??? 8mm at RECTILINEAR - is that even physically possible??? with SpeedBooster on a GH1 this would …

GH1 Crop factor 2 or 1.8 ?
This is an interesting topic. It seems like there is still a confusion about the crop factors of GH1 and GH2 and GH3 and BMC when shooting video at 16:9 aspect ratio. There is no stable information on internet ... just individual opinions. There&…

@Paddy . Being pedantic does not signify, theoretically, a better IQ. Those who read it the way I wrote, understood what was being meant. Those who didn't, theoretically, need to have their IQ checked.

@RRRR ah, I was thinking something along the lines of IF there was such an adaptor made that would go m4/3-to-m4/3 ...but then, yes there's no point. I guess it couldn't work for those particular lenses. So, basically this would be primar…

@tinyrobot thanks! That is one question that I'm trying to find answers to as well. Some say that you can run anything together, but I'm skeptical about that. Others say that the 2 cards have to be of the same type - i.e. GTX480 with GTX48…
