I really wanted to make a short film on christmas - but it wasn't easy because of all the family business we had to handle with. But one night I took the time for the christmas tree set and combined it with a photo timelapse at the beginning and a film speedup at the end. The new HBR Mode of the GH2 is excellent. It was really dark but the noise-grain looks very "filmic". I love this camera!
