A Film Shot On My New GH1

Awkward cut at the beginning, and why are the interior sides of their face lit more than the sides facing the exterior which is totally blown out? They are obviously lit from the inside, and overlit at that. If you dialed the whole exposure down and supplemented the light outside you'd get a much better result.
 
I thought it was funny. A few jokes didn't quite work, but overall I thought it was pretty funny. The lighting did leave a bit to be desired though. In addition to the artificial indoor light being too bright, it is also the wrong color temperature. The GH1's white balance appears to be set for Indoor light, causing the sunlight in the scene to go blue. If you can round up a piece of CTB--blue gel designed to correct tungsten light to daylight color temperature, put it in front of your artificial light, your lighting will be balanced as far as color temperature. Then set the GH1's white balance to Daylight. Voila...it will looks much better.
I'm not sure how much lighting experience you have, so forgive me if this seems patronizing. It isn't meant to be. Just a helpful suggestion. Again, those guys are funny.
