That's some terrific looking material. And >Ungraded!!< too, Bravo.

thanks for your help Illya!
Christopher Ruffell 6 months ago

Looked good Phil.. those PL lenses sure delivered a pro 'film look', but that said, it was difficult to tell the between the stock lens. One thing I noticed: It looked slightly pixelated some of the time, like the resolution was being halved...? I watched it full screen on a LCD that is 1280 pixels wide..
Tom Guilmette 6 months ago

great stuff phil. love the rattler just sliding thru the focus point in the shallow dof.
Christian Rossipal 6 months ago

really great stuff! nice epic look. Is the external mic any good? Is it a standard shoe for it ?

Philip, thanks for challenging this cam for us !!! It shows, that great films can also be made without having a 10.000 Dollar equipment. That gives hope and inspiration to all creative people, who do not have such a big money.

Although some of the lenses he used were about $10,000.heh

I see a lot of noise in the sky at 28 sec. Do you see that in source video too? Anyway a wonderful work!

yeah, there is noise there...in my blog i really recommending shooting 720p as the 1080p 17mbps codec is quite weak.

Can this camera be used with Canon's EF and EF-S lenses?
Philip Bloom 6 months ago

they the ones without manual apertures? sorry am no Canon expert...if so, no. There is no current way for the circuits to interface but that may change. Also you get a 2x magnification factor as the sensor is half the size

hey phillip does the gh1's mic input only support the mic from panasonic or can i put my rode mic on it to?
Some Like It Shot 6 months ago

i have a rode, so when I get my gh1 will test it. it does need an adaptor though as it is non standard size
Martin Haasdijk 6 months ago

ok cool, any idea how much an adaptor costs?
David & Cameron Barrett 6 months ago

Your contribution will not doubt help them sell a lot of cameras. I have my order in. Well done - and wondering if you might do a test that compares prime lens shots with standard Panny glass. Any chance?
Some Like It Shot 6 months ago

well you can get an idea from this film, but I will be doing some filming with my new Sigma f1.4 30mm lens when I get a GH1 mid June

Super Gab 6 months ago

Philip, How would you compare video modes of the GH1 and the 5D Mark II ?

- Workflow?
- Image quality?
- Stock kit lens?

I'm about to buy either one.
Philip Bloom 5 months ago

workflow...gh1 way better
image quality..5d way better
stock lens...dont know what the 5d stock is but the gh1 has a wicked stock lens, albeit a bit slow
Super Gab 5 months ago

I finally bought the GH1 and let me tell that the workflow is just great!

- Put the SD card in the new Macbook Pro ;
- Import the AVCHD movie files into FCP ;
- The files are automatically converted to Apple ProRes 422 during import (fast) and I'm ready to edit.

I'm a happy man.

Mind blowing job!..
Jan van der Meer 5 months ago

It is beautiful, but P.B. is a skilled and clever pro, perfect phocamshooting (PHOCAMMING) results in great looking moving slideshow footage, so not ideal for camera movements or quick moving objects at all. Beginners have to be aware phocam design and ergonomics are not ready yet for moving footage and objects like in most event docu and wildlife videography! Agree?!
Philip Bloom 5 months ago

not really true Jan. It is no different to the 5dmkII which has even worse limitations, but better picture quality and low light. My first footage was all moving handheld and the autofocus functions make it very easy to use...yes it isn't a true video camera yet though...

Hi Philip great videos! can you please tell me when the lumix gh1 will hit the shops in the UK, it was meant to be released early June - but is only available on a couple of websites - both of which are out of stock (except in gold) - - - any news would be much appreciated cheers

Tracey Lee 5 months ago

I still salivate over the colors and color range of this video. Does the GH1 have more latitude and less color aliasing than the 5D? I didn't notice anything at all.
Brian Boyko 5 months ago

Say, would this camera be useful in documentary filmmaking? I'm thinking about picking it up before the next Maker Faire in October.
Marshall Hoyle 5 months ago

And the music? Where do you get your music? (Beautiful videography too.)
Kanim Allomin 5 months ago

The snake is scary. So do you get the camera for free in exchange for doing the film for Panny or do you have to pay for it??

Does anyone know how well After effects handles AVCHD? im potentially going to do vfx with the GH1 in After effects! any knowledge on this would be much appreciated....

Ufilmhouse.com 2 months ago

Hi Philip I am a big fan of your work and really appreaciate all the info you bring to the community.
I have a question, I recently purchased the GH1 and noticed that the lcd screen displays some faint yellow like vertical lines, the lines are fixed so they do not move and thought it was just the display but when i captured it, it had the lines also. The lines stand out more in low light, did you have this issue when you tested it? I see that the lines are not visible when compresed down for vimeo but the raw footage will have them and they are easy to see.
Philip Bloom 2 months ago

thats really not good. sounds like a fault. is it happening at all ISOs?
Ufilmhouse.com 2 months ago

Yes, I even tested at all ISO's and it is present. Here some pictures of what I am looking at.
