Shot and edited this with the GH1. Kit lens and onboard mic used. It's for a technology company called Swype.
It's not the best footage ever but it's a good example of the GH1 working successfully in a run and gun situation. We basically went out and tried to show people the product, then had them try it. At first we tried to ask if we could shoot beforehand and this was highly unsuccessful. So instead, we did the demo while I was shooting, then got the consent form signed afterwards. I feel like the GH1 helped greatly in this regard because I don't think people knew they were being filmed due to the SLR form factor. As well I think the reactions are more genuine because of this.
Check it out, it's a pretty cool product. It's a completely new way to text on touch screen phones, just by tracing through letters... watch the vid, you'll see
Shot in 720p. I can upload to vimeo if people want. Feel free to ask questions, I am 90% sure I used -2 on all settings and smooth mode. Locked the shutter to 1/120, and f-stop was as open as possible.
For stabilization I used a "free steadicam", meaning I held my Cullman Video Magic Tripod by its balance point. As you'll see I didn't do this very well at all times unfortunately, but for the most part it worked quite well.
Feedback is much appreciated.
