GH2 WHICH LENS for each shot?

[vidguy22]

But what if the only viewing medium will be the web? I keep hearing that it's acceptable to blow up to 25%, and in some cases up to 50% as long as you cut in 720.

Well, its your call, try it. Most dudes here want the highest res possible. why not use a pocket cam
if thats all you need?

Some random notes.

-The green screen should be lit separately from the subject with a fair amount of distance between them to avoid spill.

-If I had to choose I'd prefer a 14mm over a 12mm. Things can start to look a bit distorted below 14mm, especially during a pan. Still I own lenses down to 7mm. And if you need to rack focus perhaps your better off with a SLRMagic 12mm over any electronic m4/3. None of the electronic m4/3s have great focus ring response, while some of Olympus' 4/3 are better, but none on par with all mechanical.

-A reliable source for used lenses is KEH.com.

-There's no preferable set of lenses for your shot list. Most can be accomplished with various focal lengths depending on the look. One simple example is the over-the-shoulder. With a normal the head sizes will be very disproportionate, which isn't right or wrong, while they'd be much closer in size with a portrait, or long lens.

OK Bern, thanks for the advice.
