I know you can't say, but I'd love to know what lenses you were using.

 

[Justyn]

That was really nice and the video was cool too... What a cute chick....

 

[theroux]

Really nice.

Two questions; what lens did you use for the fisheye effect (Lumix 7-14mm?) and also what's the music?

 

[arrestthisman]

That was the best footage I've seen to date from the gh1.

Thank you so much!

I'm totally either buying this camera, or waiting for its next generation, but either way, now or later, I'm sold. Not to flame, but I prefer this WAY over everything I've seen out of the Canons.

Panny, you've done it again! More important though is the talented filmmakers who make them look good

Cheers Mike, awesome short. I'd love to hear a detailed blog about the shoot/workflow.

weird...i thought it looked no better than the d90...

 

[John Caballero]

d90? What's a d90?

 

[Park Edwards]

well, I could be wrong, but I believe the d90 is an old, old wooden ship that was used during the Civil War era.

That's a nice video. Great work!

 

[Mike Kobal]

thanks guys. as for the lens, I can't say what i have used, yet. workflow, most of it was shot handheld, from iso 100 to 1600, shooting in the subway and times square was crazy, so many people, had to reshoot scenes a few times but overall, this was a lot of fun to do. post was straightforward, no grading, slight contrast enhancement with 3Way color editor in FCP. I did however play around with the WB setting before each clip. thats probably the reason the footage looks pretty smooth, it is not as gradable as the stuff coming out of the 5D2. the plan was to shoot it with the 5D first but decided the smaller camera would be better, was a bit nervous about low light performance. not anymore!
