Heh, thanks very much but I think you are too kind. And this is high praise coming from you. It's not as polished as its coming off I think
It's just the stock lens.

Mate, thanks for your gracious reply, but don't under estimate your talent , especially if you shot it with stock lens and focus, i'm even more impressed.
This made us realize the "professional potential "of the GH1 in broadcast use and there are a lot of GH1 clips out there. Hats off!

Look forward to the finished piece.

Cheers,

Will take me twice as long to do it now as if I start fresh tomorrow. It's quite detailed and organized though. Hopefully the effort that went into it / is causing the delay will be apparent - then it'll be time to get back to finishing the fun stuff - the fight. But since we leaped before looking on this one (which was the point, get in their and learn from mistakes - total budget was $8), I needed to do the frame rate conversion tests with teh GH1 on top of the 170 in order to figure out my post processes with the fight scene based on the way I shot.

Miñana gents.

Jack is this GH1 on top of the 170 test ready yet?

Posted this in the "Should I" thread
http://www.dvxuser.com/V6/showthread.php?t=175708
which is now discussing support of the GH1, particularly the Spiderbrace.

Anyway, my friend Cherdon took 100's of pictures and looking through them to bring to the Spiderbrace discussion, I was reminded how much fun the pics were / we had shooting this thing and wanted to share them with you here.

PS:.... it still would look weird

Lol. Not so weird. Should have thought of this before.

Just the one. It would be evil to have two when so many are waiting on theirs. As I mentioned on the previous page, I'm actually sharing mine with Barry Green who's violating it with a barrage of tests as we speak. So having withdrawal.

BG testing - I look forward to that - any word on when we can expect some info?
 
great job with this! fun to watch, well shot, well directed, well edited.
between this and your extensive comparison and conversion test with HPX 170,
youv just about covered all bases with the GH1.

diggin the production stills too. this must have been a blast to shoot!
ok now, back to reading through the rest of the thread...
 
FINISHED!
(more or less. Here's a beginning, middle, end rough cut with some slapdash color grading)
GH1 ACTION FIGHT SCENE FIELD TEST
"MACHETE vs. PIPE"
"complete short"

will tweak / update later.

the original partial version with raw footage and frame rate info is still available in first post
 
Nice work, Jack! Now that you've learned so much about conversions (and graciously shared them with us), are you planning to shoot a true 24P project?
 
Great shot and stunt at the end. Have really enjoyed these posts on the making of this, it should inspire everybody to just go out there and shoot.
 
Great stuff Jack! Even with vimeo compression it looks darn good to me. Gonna have to get me on these GH1's!
