Thank you! Looks incredible. Great slow mo too!

 

[John Caballero]

Thanks Hunter. Looking great.

I need slo mo control for my kids

 

[dadoboy]

I found myself laughing. The slo-mo, the lens choices, and the boomy audio made the toddler seem like a very cute, happy GIANT. Like the shot with the sky and clouds in the bg. Reminds me of the opening sequence to WORLD ACCORDING TO GARP.

Manual focus, right???

Looking good. I won't be able to wait another month.

 

[Hunter Hampton]

It was manual focus, I used a canon FD lens. (50mm f1.8 @ about a 4-f5.6)

 

[Isaac_Brody]

Wow, this camera handles manual lenses great. Not noticing any jello and the 60P looked fantastic.

 

[ryvac]

Finally there's footage.Thank you. looks great!

 

[Peter J. DeCrescenzo]

Nice, Hunter, thanks for this.

(That lens was effectively "100mm" on the GH1, correct?)

 

[Hunter Hampton]

Somewhere around there.

 

[dcloud]

are the artifacts im seeing present in the raw footage?

 

[plasmasmp]

Wow I downloaded the clip. VERY impressive! I usually shoot 60p for 24p slowdown with my JVC HD-250s and this looked amazing. Sure, very minor macroblocking, but still amazing.

 

[Hunter Hampton]

dcloud- yes there are some artifacts on the pink color in the original footage. Just less.

 

[dcloud]

ok downloaded the original its a lot less. hardly noticeable. its the viemo compression im seeing. its really bad.

Great camera work for handeheld '100mm'

I'm assuming wide open? (1.8)

Absolutely loving the rolling shutter on this... Good job Panasonic (and Hunter of course)

 

[Ian-T]

This looks very nice Hunter. I downloaded the footage and I can’t get over how much the cloud behind her does not blow out. It looks almost green screened. I did see some slight macro blocking on her pant leg. The background blur looks real nice also.

 

[LizaWitz]

Very interesting test. There's a short bit where it looks bad in the pink pants, but the rest of it is looking good. It is interesting to see how the codec handles the camera movement. Thank you very much for making the footage available!

Hi Matthew- actually I think the widest I went was f4- some of those shots were at f16 too.
