Here's the first episode of a webseries that I directed and co-produced, and was shot using (predominantly) my production company's equipment:
The Brothers Barbarian - Episode 1 "Meet the Barbarians"
The GH13 was used for some of the crane shots, though we abandoned that in subsequent episodes. The HVX was used for all the Steadicam work, since that was all outdoors, and eliminated the focus pulls that the AF100 would've required.
The AF100 was used everywhere else. The camera op & first AC had only some moderate experience with the AF100 going into this, and some of this footage was the first things we shot for this project. Most of the shots used a Canon FD 28-70mm f/2.8, which worked pretty well. We definitely learned some of the downsides of letting certain colors blow out, and I've now got a pretty good handle on how far you can push the color around (we had two scenes inside the tavern, lit by different crews, that did NOT look the same). This episode also reflects my very steep learning curve in color-correction & grading, made more complicated by my color-blindness.
Feel free to pass along any suggestions or critiques.
