Disney World Vacation / GH2 / Lumix 12-35mm f2.8!

[aaronsternke]

Hey all!
We just returned from our vacation at Disney World and I put this little highlight video together. I rented the excellent Lumix f2.8 12-35mm lens... I want!! It was the perfect balance of flexibility and speed. It never left the camera.

This was also my first experience with the firmware hack, and I have to say, the images do look better. They were definitely more of a pain to deal with on the back end, but I love the results.

In-camera settings were Nostalgic, everything -2. No color grading in the final product (mostly because I didn't have time! But I do think it looks pretty good) I did use NeatVideo's noise reduction on several of the darker shots, and it really saved some of those.

Cool, check it out / enjoy!

Very nice..
Color is nice, especially the skin tones.
I need to try the nostalgic setting more, I normally use "smooth".
Which hack were you using....I use the latest FlowMotion.

Thanks for sharing,
Jeff

I would avoid nostalgic. It adds a sepia cast over the image, and since there's not a whole lot of color correction going on these days, it can bite you because of it.

You mention a firmware hack, which one did you use ?

Aww, that was too cute! Great song and great closing shot.

My family did that vacation last year for the first time. It was when my GH1 was still stock. I used the 14-140 and the 20mm 1.7 for that trip. I had won a 3 month subscription to Animoto Pro, and since I had taken just as many stills as video I decided to use that to edit my final video. Thought you might enjoy it!
