Happens mostly outside in sunlight. shots are exposed properly maybe even a little over exposed. I use a diy nd filter(two cross polarizers). Lens is 28mm vivtar. iso...

Stuff I learned from my filming experience: Lighting: Its better to err on the side of caution on this and throw a little light on the actors even if you think their is enough ambient lighting. Sound: closer to the mouth the better. Also, if you use plural eyes SYNC ALL CLIPS BEFORE YOU...

Just wanted to know if anyone has had success buying hackable gh1 bodies from thisisde1 off ebay. He sells body only gh1's and I have one being shipped to me as we speak and I am EXTREMELY paranoid that i bought the new hack proof version because it is being shipped from Taiwan(from what I...
