I just want some quick opinions on how well you think the Gh1 footage cuts in with the existing interview footage we had using the Ex1. I just wanted other opinions since looking at this too long starts to skew my perspective. This product is still really rough.

What did you use for lighting on the white backgrounds?
Any lighting used in the office B-roll?
 
Not sure about the lighting for the interviews. It was shot from someone we hired. The b-roll had two 1K watt lights with softboxes.
 
slightly cooler WB on the ex1 stuff.
probably due to pulling the key. i'd add a little warm tone to perfectly match. but as is, probably 'good enough' (for the client). =)
 
The one thing that jumps out at me is the skintones on some of the GH1 footage; just feels a bit orange in places and blotchy. Are you using Colorista II by any chance to do a key on just the skintones? I've had similar problems with footage using that technique. You can make it look good but it takes a lot of refining to get it feeling natural.

Overall looks pretty nice although it would've been preferable to shoot the interviews on a real seamless backdrop rather than greenscreen. There's some green spill on a few of the shots in the faces and of course the edges are as ever kind of a giveaway - which fights against the more organic, generally pleasing image of the GH1 b-roll shots.

But like averan said, I think as far as the client goes you're in good shape, this is all nit-picky stuff.

The girl answering the phone was done with the GH1(3) in mjpeg 30p mode (then conformed to 24p). I like the image of the mjpeg so much more! Wish the hack had 24p in mjpeg mode.
