EDIT: The videos are now online:
Below is my original post from 10/7/11:
Recently I've been enjoying using my hacked GH2 on some no-budget interview productions. To minimize equipment set-up, I've been using available light (windows or outdoor) for the key light, a white bounce for fill, and a borrowed Kino Diva (w. 5600K bulbs) to brighten interior backgrounds.
The video won't be edited for a few weeks. Attached are some frame grabs (lightly color-corrected).
Lenses: Lumix 20mm f1.7 (woman & man in office), and an old Nikon 55mm f1.2 SLR lens (3 men outdoors). Lee white net filter #1 about 1/2" in front of lens. f2.8 for all scenes. ND, polarizer or not depending on changing light levels. Film mode: Smooth -2,-2,-2,-2. Full manual Creative Movie mode. Sennheiser ME-64 mic (on boom pole) connected direct to camera via a -25db inline attentuator.
Footage is being recorded using Chris Brandin's 66 megabits/sec 1080p24 AVCHD settings for Vitaliy Kiselev's GH2 firmware hack. SDHC card: 8GB SanDisk Extreme Class 10 (30 MB/s). Chris' settings are available here:
