SINNERGY - Geoff Reisner

Hey Geoff, glad to see you got that bar you were looking for... let me know if you need any help with post, man... :beer:
 
Great "noir" look. Silhouettes and the lights are blooming. Sweet pic. I've been eyeing the GH1 for quite awhile now. I would enjoying hearing what challenges Mattg had during production.
 
It was actually really easy to work with.
I think shooting it black and white helped. We'll see how well it plays with color verrrrry soon.

I pretty much only changed the iso and the iris all day. The mattebox situation we had was kind of funky so we went without filters the entire shoot. I wish I had a pola and maybe a black pro mist but I was fine without then.

I'm also not so used to judging histograms so that took a little bit of getting used to. But it's tiny, good battery life, long record times. Wish it had a monitor out but it's kind of nice just huddling up with the director and he/she just having to trust you that you got what they wanted.
 
The monitor output is a bummer. Is it still easy to get good focus using the built in LCD on GH1? I believe its a great camera to get in and out of a shooting location ,and yet it delivers a professional image. The manual control over focus, iso and iris is a big plus for those situations.

Sorry to hear about the filters. I can see how the polarizer would have been a big advantage in that indoor shot. Apparently, it appears that you made it work. Kudos.
 
Nice grab!

Is there a focus aid on the GH1 like there is on the HV20? Forget what it's called.
It gives you an extreme closeup of the shot for you to adjust the focus to at the touch of a button.

Just curious.

Looks like a really nice camera. Throw in the anamorphic lenses and look out! Really great stuff.

Yes there is a focus assist on the GH1. I have one and used it on my film as well. I had to use the stock lens though. I want a good lens after seeing all the great shots like this.
 
Update here... thanks for all the support everyone and we're excited to share this one with you.

I hit a pic lock friday and got the movie over to the composer, Anthony Perera, and to the dialogue editor, Matt Parra. Matt just finished showing me his work and everything sounds really good. Solid production sound is uber important on these types of projects (fast ones). We don't have to do any foley for this project which is a huge timesaver. This will allow the sound designer/editor more time to focus on the pure creative aspects of the soundscape. No ADR will be needed either, just a re-recording of the temp voiceover once Kholi and I finish redrafting to accommodate the running time.

I'm also glad to say I got this thing under six minutes. GFH and TTWC were such a struggle with me to get in under six and I was worried this would be the third film I've made that was ineligible for competition. Now I just gotta get the thing done and ready by the deadline.

Still unsatisfied with the poster... but working on it every now and then in my free time.
 
I love the SG Geoff. It's sooo tasty!

Were the florecent light on the left wall already at the location, or did
you add those?

The fluorescents were already there. Luckily we were able to get them powered up. It's a really old building and at first they weren't working.

This grab inspires me to do a Noir. Maybe my next film!
