GH2 Weekend in Seattle

[Ben_B]

A short video I put together of some things in Seattle I saw when I spent a short weekend there this summer. I wasn't thee for too long and didn't get to grab too much footage, and also forgot to pack my chest stabilizer...so I got what I could. Please let me know what you think and if you have any questions! If you like it be sure to "like" it, and if you post a comment on Vimeo please feel free to post it here as well or in a group it's in on Vimeo (you know why, it brings the thread/video back up :happy. Thanks, hope you like it!

Shot with Lumix GH2 1080/24p. Primarily used Lumix 14-140mm f/4-5.8, Lumix 7-14mm f/4.0, and Lumix 20mm f/1.7.

Song is "Hysteric" by Yeah Yeah Yeahs.

Nice shots in there Ben. I liked the grading as well.

Hey Ben,

Nice footage! I've been a fan of your posts on this forum for awhile. Do you use a hack on the GH2?

Thanks.

Thanks! Nope I haven't bothered to hack my GH2 yet because right now it's more important to me that it function super reliably (as a lot of what I am doing these days are not controlled narrative shoots.) For the GH13 I was mostly doing controlled narrative work and the payoff was worth the risk of the hack because the codec was so lousy to begin with, but the GH2 does a damn good job unhacked. I will probably be hacking mine in the near future though, but I am waiting to watch more test footage and play with things, rather than diving head first like I did with the GH1.
