After shooting a few music videos using a GH2, I recently aquired a GH3 as a second cam.
My first real chance to get this combo out in the field came with the opportunity to film a performance video for band Ball of Mayhem, for their entry into Biffy Clyro's cover song competition.
We had precious little time to attempt a larger production, as the deadline was looming just as the band found out about the competitions existence. So, the band arranged the use of a performance space in a local club, complete with a small lighting rig, and a PA system.
I decided to shoot with a 2.35:1 ratio, which I had never attempted before. I simply marked off the matte lines on a screen protector with a pen.
The lenses I used were an ebay bought Canon FD 50mm 1.8 on the GH2 and the Panasonic 20mm 1.7 on the GH3.
Ball of Mayhem recorded the song the day before we shot, then i edited the video around work, over two days. I used FCP7 to edit, and the video is ungraded.
GH2 uses the CBrandin 44/66 hack which is very old now, and i used AVCHD setting on the GH3, both at 24p.

Personally, I prefer this version to the original!
