I think you're misunderstanding. If one person wants to download your footage 13 times and runs out of their bandwidth limit, that doesn't stop anyone else from downloading it.

You upload it, and hundreds of us can download it... that 20Gb limit is for each of us, not for the clip.

That's the nice thing about sites like megaupload-- they're designed for specifically this situation.

I just watched the 1080 download and it looks fantastic. Philip Bloom you did great and it looks like you had a lot of fun down in Austin. I am getting my cash ready, can't wait 'till the GH1 hits the stores in NYC.
 
woohoo john likes it....that's enough for me

it's gonna be like dslr boot camp around here. we're gonna have to train up the next gen.

Just watched the 1080p version. Wow. For $1500 bucks, it's a stunner. Sure the EX1 has a better codec and the Red more dynamic range and resolution, but man, this is the clear bang for the buck winner of any video cam. And unlike the HV20/30/40 or D90/5D, not hobbled by horrible usability issues.

Thanks a ton for shooting and posting this. Now, just trying to resist ordering a Japanese version...

Its from Panasonic, mother of my HVX200, which I enjoy a lot, if only for the lack of shalllow DOF. The great thing is that I will be able to do journalistic footage for the web and be able to have screen grabs for photo illustration from the same source. At the same time I will hopefully be able to use it for a docu-drama about Greenwhich Village and a narrative I've had in mind for a while. Exciting times.
 
thanks for all advice have gone for megaupload. looks like a great place for me to have some online backup of my work and for sharing large files. Perfect.

Will post a link of my review page soon.
 
pool hall looks cool, like no budget guy ritchie. shame you didn't have your adapter but the dof still looked pretty shallow. I'm hanging to slap some primes on this thing. That pom (hague) stabilizer sounds like it's made for the GH1
 
Congratulations Philip. Good shots for the first time. Nice colors and skin tones. Looking forward to your Hawaii lowlight footage with faster glasses.
 
Philip, I can offer around 250GB of bandwidth. If you are quick, another 280GB for today (it's reset at midnight). PM me.

Your footy looks very promising. I'd like know, did you use the default contrast setting or something else?
 
Thanks for the footage, Phil.

One thing - am I going blind or is there not a place to download the less compressed version on Exposure Room? I've signed up, so that's not it... I can find the link on Vimeo, but the bandwidth says it's exceeded. On ER I can't find the link at all.

I will grab the Megaupload version when it's posted I guess. Thanks again!
 
I second Oedipax's question about the download.

Is waiting for Megaupload the only way to get it?

Thanks
 
thank you for posting this, I feel I can go back to my life now that I have seen real 1080 footage, its been a long wait since monday. It looks to be real winner.
 
I have a question to all of you who can view footage on a tv. dos the material from the gh1 look good when viewed on a lcd screen?
I own the nikon d90 and it looks fine on a computer screen hook it up to a lcd screen via hdmi and it looks bad. stairstepping, aliasing, and other visual problems.

so just wondering. every one seems to be impressed including me, but im just seeing it on my computer screen.

I still own a D90. And here's my thought on that:

The D90 played BACK looks pretty good on a large HD LCD. It's not horrid, but hosts a lot of artifacts that you may not see several feet away.

The GH-1 is much more pleasing even up close to the LCD as far as artifacts etc go.

Image for Image, they both have very similar characteristics, highlight handling, softness, resolving power etc.

My LCDs are HDMI-in, a 36in 720 and 42in 1080, along with a 24 Gateway and a 22" Sony HD Production Monitor.
 
that's cool. Am putting uncompressed one there now...

just tried f14 nikon prime in low light

AWESOME and incredible shallow DOF
 
Hey Philip:

awesome stuff! quick question...can you monitor audio coming into the GH1? Also, where did you purchase your Nikon adapter? Finally...can we also see the super 8 footage and that lovely Canon Scoopic I saw on your video? :)
