GH2 Short - Road to Rockport (Massachusetts)

Just got around to reviewing some vacation footage from Boston & Rockport, MA. I cut together this piece earlier today.


Lenses:

Lumix 14-140 f/4.0-5.6
Lumix 14mm f/2.8
Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8
Nikon 50mm f/1.8G


I mostly used the Lumix 14-140, considering it was mostly exterior daylight and I only had an ND4 filter that fits that lens but not the others, and otherwise had to stop down quite a bit.

ISO was usually 200 or 400 outside, 800 and 1600 in the train and train stations. The wide shots of inside the train and the train stations I used the Lumix 14mm.

The shots of the ships from a distance I used the Nikon 70-200mm, with it stopped down to 22 and the ISO at 200 or 400.

I shot most of it handheld using a Cinevate camera grip, but some shots were with a monopod.

Hope you enjoy

Nice vid Jimmy, I know the area well, I live on CapeCod, It's always fun to see people visit your neck of the woods and make vids about it. I see your from LA. I little more mellow on this side of the country huh, lol
 
Thanks a lot Maran. I have never been to Cape Cod, but would like to see what it's like. As far as living in LA, I wish LA was mellow, and believe it or not I try to live here that way, haha. I love the east coast, even though I don't live there. Vermont and New Hampshire are beautiful and feels very homey compared to LA. I grew up in the San Fernando Valley, and that is more mellow than intercity LA.
 
Here is another miniature montage, which takes place in Ithaca, New York. I shot in the Commons & the Ithaca Yacht Club.


Same lenses were used, with the exception of the Nikon 70-200mm.

Night shots were with the Nikon 50mm f/1.8G

ISO was about the same as the other video. Settings were all at -2.

I am really enjoying this little camera like everyone else seems to. It has greatly reduced travel hassles, unlike my HVX, which I still love and goes well with the GH2.

I hope you enjoy. I will probably have another similar video up soon.
