I had a play around with the GH2 in a Graveyard in South London. It was a very cold day and so quite hard to keep everything smooth. I was using a super cheap £30 tripod a Velbon C-400 which comes with a PH-24B fluid head. I also experimented with a technique where you slowly tip the tripod towards an object/subject whilst tipping the tripod head up to keep it level. It gives the impression that you are using a slider track.


Although I have worked with still photography and video operating I haven't had much experience with this more artistic film work so I would love some feedback. Most of the shots I was on a very wide aperture, around 0.95-1.4 and kept my ISO very low. I haven't really done any colour correction and I am not entirely happy with the edit. I did it more as a test and rushed the edit a little whilst at a friends house (so I couldn't concentrate 100%). One thing I have noticed is that there is a "judder" effect going on constantly throughout, like it is missing some frames. Not sure if this is because I am using a cracked version of premiere or its the way I exported it.


Anyway here it is (its kind of depressing).

 
The only thing i would say is that you could hold on a lot of the shots longer - for example the shot where the leaf falls in the grave yard - it's powerful - but even more powerful letting it linger and we think another leaf might fall and doesn't. The shots of the kids graves - I think you can't show that and cut like it was the hurt locker - it's powerful stuff you have - let us feel it :) good eye you have :)
