Great footage.
Not only have you made a very convincing case for both, but you've made me realize how effective post crop animation and zooms can be.
Using 4~5K you could do some serious stuff.
If you don't mind sharing your technique I'd love to know what you did here. If so, either way, rockin/

Yes, my thoughts exactly.
thanks Kholi. I just used the simple crop in vegas, then applied some key frames for animation. As long as you don't crop below your final output resolution it looks ok. I just did this slightly to add a bit of curving motion to the actual motion recorded using the igus slider. I think if you start with no actual motion, it looks a bit strange. However, I do agree, 4 and 5k would allow you to do a lot of this sort of thing.
Cheers.
Thanks bgundu.
Yah, unfortunately the footage from the Canon was at a more desirable time of day with better light.
I watched that again. And you are right. I think that was one of the only shots that I did not start off with any real motion. So, I guess my feeling that if you add any post animation without actual movement it looks artificial.

An excellent example of how lighting can change everything. Good lighting can make cell phone footage look sexy. As a photographer as well, I plan my shoots around desirable light. Oh, and I'm digging that Tree of Life soundtrack. It's on high rotation on playlist

Ah, Ok. I just realized you also did the wefi surfboard piece. I absolutly love that vid. Looking foreward to seeing some more man.

You can get away with a little vertical movement as long as you don't see the horizon.
The lighting with the Canon video was far more interesting...
I can't tell squat about how these cameras compare as both lighting and subject matter are not the same between both shoots. Based upon my own experience having owned a Canon 60D and GH-2 together for a few months, I would expect a hacked GH-2 to able to equal and probably be better at everything the Canon can do. ( which is why I sold my Canon 60D and kept the GH-2 )

....and THAT folks.....is the current state of things. Thanks for sharing Kholi!
Easy killer... those are some fight'n words!rogar-Happy(DBG):
Hahaha. I know right? Shooting Epic and Anamorphic tomorrow... salivatin'.
GH2 vs 7D? GH2 all the way.
GH2 vs 5D? Not so clear cut. The real-estate and extra lattitude of the 5D is awesome as heck. But GH2 + Hack is pretty pristine. So, it's a doozy.
I wish Canon would give me an alias and moire free 5D... at that point it's a no brainer.
Fooorrrr surrreee.
