Hi folks,

Any feedback welcome!

best regards, merry christmas, Gunther

Another nice little piece. You have such a great eye for composition and a real knack for getting shots that show the essence of whatever you're filming. Made me wish I could experience that place - and made me hungry!

Especially liked the shot at 0:15 - has a magical quality to it. Lots of great shots. Nicely done.

Uhh thanks for your kind words (turning red now ...)! Very motivating for me.

Gunther,

That is nice. And sweet, especially around 1;50. :happy:

This makes 2 videos posted in as many days using the FD 50mm 1.4, a lens that I just had come back from servicing.

Of course, I don't have the camera yet, but your stuff makes me so excited to go out there. Inspirational.

Thanks.
 
Very nice stuff. Good compositions and editing. I have a technical observation, though. On many of the shots, I notice a rolling flicker. It's a flicker I've encountered when shooting fluorescent lights at 1/50th shutter speed. In the United States, electricity is 60Hz, and shooting at a shutter speed other than 1/60th can lead to flicker problems. Was much of the lighting in your video fluorescent? If electricity in Austria is 50Hz, then 1/50th shutter speed might have eliminated this flicker.

You are absolutely right. I am using the NTSC model in Austria, where electricity is 50Hz. In order to get proper slow motion (60fps slowed to 24fps) I had to keep the shutter above 1/60, otherwise the camera would shift to 30fps.

Hence, I had no way to avoid that, other than going to 1/100 but this would have cost a lot of light sensitivity, it was already very dim in some places.

I really like your ability to get in there and get these images and remain invisible, its as if you were never even there and people are just doing their own thing.

Looking forward to 2010 when I hope to get my own GH1 and start shooting.

Happy Christmas
Alex.
 
Some nice silky looking images, especially the hot drink shots towards the end. Hope you got the feeling back in your fingers. Thanks too for a bit of christmas spirit!

Thank you. If you've done your first shots - post them! I'm always curious.

Merry Christmas, Gunther
