GH1 used for BBC Documentary

I've done a compilation of some of the GH1 shots from the programme here:

It's done from the SD off air recording so you can't really judge the quality of the original shots, but it gives you an idea of how it was used.

Very impressive work.

Just wondering how you did the shot on the bridge right at the start? Glidetrack and a fluid head?

I've got to pull off something very similar for a shoot this weekend so tips would be really appreciated!

Yup - a home made slider (from zaza's thread in the DIY section) with a fluid head attached. Stuck the slider out as far as a dared and just did the move by hand.

Just keep doing it till everything works smoothly!

A mixture, but mainly the kit lens (for the wides) and a Canon FD 50mm f1.4 for DoF shots. I had quite a few other Canon FD lenses but found I mostly went with those 2.
