Thanks for the kind words everybody, the GH2 is an awesome camera that is capable of capturing amazing imagery. The 17mm FD is nice, it's fairly sharp, but I really like that focal length so I use it quite often even though its a tad slow as it doesn't sharpen up until about f/5.6. I don't do...

Here are a couple frames grabs also:

Edit - Here is the full Film Teaser trailer for a short film that I shot on a hacked GH2. I’m still waiting to hear back from a few festivals but I will post the full film here when I can. Canon FD lenses; 50mm f/1.4, 28mm f/2.8, 17mm f/4 Flowmotion v2.02, Smooth -2,0,0,0

This video is the first part of a series of short commercial docs I was hired to shoot about the various martial arts programs offered at the Pedro Sauer Total Self Defense Academy in Sterling, VA. This video highlights the Filipino Martial Arts program and the various benefits of training. I...

Hacked GH2, Flowmotion v2.02, Smooth -2,0,-2,0 I shot the majority of the short in the 24H mode and 720p60 SH mode for the slow motion shots. For the non-action sequences I used a shutter speed of 1/40 and 1/80 for the action sequences at 24p for effect. I used three prime Canon FD lenses...

SEEKER, is my first foray into narrative work with the hacked GH2. It originally was meant to be a camera test, but I often get tired of watching videos of cats and trees so I wanted to do a little narrative. Please let me know what you think. GH2 settings: Flowmotion v2.02, Dynamic B&W...

So for the last couple of months we’ve been working on what I consider our first serious attempt at a short with a little more substance. The concept for the film all came from personal experiences as a result of suffering from pretty severe insomnia for the last five years. I think we tackled...

Hey guys, just wanted to share our latest short called Chase. This was an idea I had for a short almost four years ago, it's pretty simple, just attempting to tackle a genre that we don't have too much experience with. Here's the poster. And here's the short itself. Thanks for watching...

Here's our newest short. Shot with Canon HV30. Let me know what you think.

So after watching quite a few shorts it got me thinking about extremely short form projects with a running time of about 1 min. I personally really enjoy seeing what can be done in such a short time frame. So I want to see what people have done within these time constraints. I'll go first.

Hey, just finished a new short. As you watch the film you'll see that practical effects and "tricks" was an element that we focused on while shooting this short. Please let me know what you think, and if you have any questions. Thanks. Shot on Canon HV30 Rode VideoMic Avid Media Composer
