Did a greenscreenvideo using a hacked GH1 and a 7D recently: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jyVA9inGA30 Used AE keylight 1.2 for keying and it worked really well. It is a bit frustrating in the beginning, as you have to tweak it alot to get great results. If you just want to key in premiere...

Hey Guys, check out my newest crazy music video for the track "Massive" by Gimbal & Sinan. (Epilepsy warning due to extremely fast cuts and colors :D) Direct Link: http://vimeo.com/21719529 Make sure to watch in in HD on Vimeo :) Shot on a Canon 7D and a Panasonic GH1. Lots of sweat and...

Hey all! instead of beeing too busy with bashing others and the AF100, we shot a corporate film for Aribas Printing Machinery on my trusty GH1 and our Canon 7D. It was quite a big project for us with lots of pre- and postproduction including some animations and special transitions. As said...

Poster by the awesome Matt Matt Harris. Thank you very much!

Hey folks, as mentioned in the GH1 - Tips and Tricks thread I made a comparison of adobeRGB and sRGB on the GH1. You can change it in the PICTURE settings when you set the dial to M mode. Then switch back to Movie Mode and shoot some video. It makes absolutely no sense that there is any...

Small lowlight test I did with my GH1 and a Contax 85mm f1.4 lens. Just got a small fog machine and used it for a little bit more atmosphere. I'd call that clean footage :D All ISO100 at f1.4. Yes, focus is a bitch. "C" settings for the hack. Make sure to watch it in 1080p...

Somebody sent me the following message on vimeo. It is about a new firmware update for older cameras. It contains the 1.3Version, but is from today. Any ideas what this is about? Only found it on the french site. I guess it is just the official 1.3 update for france... which came in late. GH1...

I don't know why this hast't been posted here. But there is a film called UYUNI by Zac and Mac (Macgregor) starring Jack Daniel Stanley. I've seen grabs in other threads before, but can't find them anymore. It is just short of amazing in my eyes. Have a look at the finished film for yourself...

Hey guys, my partner shot some footage with our 7D and we noticed a codec breakdown similar to our GH1. I've never read about that from the 7D before. Is it the codec or probably the write speed of the card or something else? Somebody having the same issue? Here is a crop of the orginal image...

Hey guys, I need your help! I am probably going to shoot on a huuuuuuuuge electro festival over here. Over 60.000 people. I am now looking for some innovative and inspirational videos of electro parties and festivals. Every input is welcomed! Below are some sample videos which got some really...

Hey guys, here is a video from the party "The Final" 2010 in Bonn. It is a college graduation party. Quite some fun filming and especially editing! Camera and editing: Simon Höfer (www.filmkomplex.de) Music: Gimbal & Sinan (www.sincinaty.de) Shot on the Panasonic GH1 with Tamron 17-50mm...

Hey all, I am selling my beloved HVX200 on Ebay. I bought it in Japan, so it is the NTSC version. Included is a 16GB P2 card, two extra batteries, a protection Clear filter and a Polarizing filter. The camera has a total worktime of 121hours. The tape drive has been used only once. The camera...

Can I get the Tamron 17-50 2.8 to work on the GH1? Is there a way around the lack of the aperture ring?

Hey guys, just finished a small just for fun video. I scored a 50mm f1.4 Nikon lens yesterday evening and went filming with it in Lan Kwai Fong afterwards. Freaking rocks in low light. Nearly all ISO 100 and the yellow stuff at the end ISO800. Very odd combination of shots an music. But...
