GH2 arrived. 1st impressions

The GH2 is better than I expected after shooting my first test with 50mm F1.4 Pentax FA lens @F4 in 1080p24 (24L) 17mb/sec mode and auto ISO. The GH2 also has the higher 24mb/sec (24H) mode.

Vimeo version has the native 93.27mb 1080p24 video file available for download for the next week:

I'm watching part 2 now and the fight scenes are very well directed!

The guy in the ghost outfit is a second degree black belt in kung fu and teaches. The shirtless guy/snake does muy thai, judo and a whole host of other forms. It's kinda funny that it's hard for them NOT to hit each other. Once, cause they enjoy sparring, but two, because everything on film is so exaggerated. Part 4, which we are editing, has some even more fun fighting parts in it.

What's really interesting to me is to watch our style and ability get better as the episodes go along. I think the production quality of 3 is MUCH higher than 1 or 2. Going to keep that trend going.

I'm thinking a GH2 in crop mode with a 20 or 25 mm lens is going to be a good fight scene camera for flattening out the action. We only have one AF100 coming (mine) and I like to shoot action with 2 cameras. We'll see though.
