I had fun with this spot. I Wanted some overhead shots in the promo and couldn't get the right lens on my C300. I pulled out my trusty GH3 and attached the Lumix 7-14 and bingo! Worked out perfectly! The GH3 seems to always find a way to get into the game. Love that little camera. I used Mr. Weed's excellent CINEMA.2 profile on the C300. It's so good. The greenish issues I had in skin tones are gone. Made grading really easy. Thanks Brian!
The Sigma 18-35 was used for all the on camera lines. Set to 35mm around F2.0. The Sigma is a winner on s35 cameras. Rokinon 85mm and Canon 24-105 was mixed in as well.

Great spot! Beautiful color. Did you have the GH on a jib? It is handy. I had to "grab" some traffic shots for an episode in a web series, no problemo, just break out the GH.

Thanks! Yes the GH3 was only used on the jib. I don't have a lens as wide as the 7-14 to cover the shot I wanted. I have so much faith in the camera. I should get a Canon APS-C camera or even a 5D MKIII but then I could also buy another lens :)

Thanks! That loacation in the library was filled with natural light so I didn't need that much. I had a Kino Flo Diva on the left just out of frame a little low. More as a fill.
