Hi. Just wanted to let people know I am editing a documentary called Men of La Mancha. http://menoflamancha.org (trailer and website). It is a story about the sadness of death, poverty, orphans and reckless criminals but also about the good we do that has an impact far beyond our own lives. In the film one of the main characters, me, is nearly killed on a motorcycle in Guatemala and the other main character dies in a violent plane crash. The third main character is boy Moises who was dying in Belize but I filmed him on my HV30 and a hospital in the US saw the video and decided to give the boy free medical care for 6 months and they saved him. While this film is not religious, it will explore the ideas of the meaning and equity of life and death. It will be a very spiritual but also a sort of crazy humorous movie (in the vein of Don Quixote). It was shot over 2 years in California, Texas, Arksansas, Mexico, Belize and Guatemala.
The primary camera is the GH1. Some of the last stuff I shot was with GH13. Some of the earliest stuff was on Canon HV30 and there is several point and shoot cam footage I am working with.
Cutting in Adobe CS5 conformed all to 1280x720 30fps. I actually will need a professional editor to help me finish once I whittle the draft down to 2-3 hours. Final cut will be 1:10 or so.
I don't know if this is the right forum for this so please move if not. I just wanted to let people know of a full feature doc shot on GH1 that will be finished sometime later this year (I also have a kickstarter campaign going on, see About page).
