Good work Roland...the contrast is a little too hard isn´t it?
Roland Cadieux 5 months ago

Thanks Augusto, I may have crush the black a bit to much, I will need a few ND filters, specially if I want to keep low shutter speed during sunny days.
Augusto Alves da Silva 5 months ago

I think you could get a matte box if you can...Genus has great matte boxes..and affordable.
David Horacio Montoya 3 months ago

Augusto, after all, what do you prefer in quality terms, 5d gh1, i know 24p.. but, leaving this, what do you think? or 7d ?
Augusto Alves da Silva 3 months ago

I prefer GH1...The sharpness on the Canon makes it look more like video...I prefer the filmic look. Not to mention the technical problems with the canons because I´ll save you the reading of the technical issues... :-))
For starters I bet nobody will actually be able to distinguish between 24 and 25fps
RogerB1 5 months ago

Well done. Nice edit. :o) (I wish my GH1 would come)
Roland Cadieux 5 months ago

Thanks Roger, you will love the camera, so far I'm loving it more and more everyday :)
RogerB1 5 months ago

I ordered mine on May 7th and today (June, 25) Amazon STILL does not have it in stock. I may never get it, at this rate.

Great stuff man. Where did you buy it? I can't find it anywhere online. Thanks!
Roland Cadieux 5 months ago

Thanks vanawesome! I bought it from Vistek.com here in Canada.
vanawesome 5 months ago

Shoot, it's about 300 bucks more expensive if I buy from vistek than the place I currently have it on preorder.... Dilemma! Is spending 300 bucks worth not having to wait 20 more days?!?! I'm gonna have to do some soul searching over this one for a while. Thanks again!
Renaud Duval 5 months ago

Very nice! Is that a steadycam you're using? Bonne St-Jean! (in case you're from Quebec - judging from your name...)

Merci Renaud! Yes a steadicam that I made. (Effectivement je suis du Québec)

Hi Roland,

I`m from Brazil and I think to buy a GH1. So, how do you use Canon lens in that camera?

Tks,
João
Roland Cadieux 5 months ago

You have to buy an adapter like this one:

Why are you shooting in 720p60 and converting it to 720p24 instead of just shooting 1080p24?
Roland Cadieux 5 months ago

As of now the 1080p24 as to much "mud" maybe that will be fix in a future firmware update... who knows, you can't do fast panning movement with it, you can see an example there: vimeo.com/5062764 I will do some work in 1080p24 but for now I only shot in 720p60.
TheBrigadier 3 months ago

The “mud” is a fact of 24p mixed with the AVC codec. When motion blur occurs from something moving faster than the sensor can capture it, the compression algorithm see this as an opportunity to really compress the hell out of the image because it lacks any high contrast details that it's designed to maintain. So any blur just get amplified, ironically causing a greater contrast between crisp detail and motion blurred pixels.
editman 5 months ago

This camera is funky. Sometimes it looks like an ordinary video camera and sometimes it's so film camera like.

I suspect it's blown out highlights, the deep dof with kit lens and the way one handle the camera that gives it away.

Did you use any ND-filters? It can be hard to get the harsh sunlight under control.
Roland Cadieux 5 months ago

Yes its hard... I just ordered a few ND filters today.
Mark Hensley 5 months ago

Hi Guys,

I have been looking at the varible ND filter from Singh_Ray: singh-ray.com/varinduo.html

What are your thoughts on using a varible ND?
Ashley Harrison 5 months ago

I'm so impressed with the slomo...once again great work!
Roland Cadieux 5 months ago

Thanks again Ashley! :)
Patrick Vandenberghe 5 months ago

Very creative shooting. This camera seems to be asking to film with it. And the 720p mode is fine for me.
Roland Cadieux 5 months ago

Thanks Patrick!

You Always do great work Roland! I went from d90 to 5d and now I'm curious on this GH1. I wonder If it would cut well with the 5D.. hmmmmmmmm
Roland Cadieux 5 months ago

Thanks Tony, I know someone who's gonna make a thoroughly test with both camera in a few weeks and post the result at dvxuser.com

stefan petersen 4 months ago

salut roland,

j'esepre qu'il pleut pas a laval comme il pleut ici a montreal.

je voulais te demander tes experience par rapport a la montage en utilisant premiere; est-ce que t'as du telecharger un 'third-party update' pour que le logiciel premiere puisse lire le donnees?

Avec un apereil numerique type normal, genre point and shoot, premiere n'accepte pas le format, et je voulais savoir si c'est de la meme affaire avec le GH1.

Merci,
Stefan

ps-J'adore ton footage!
Voudrais-tu faire la cinematographie pour un videoclip 3 jours en aout? (hahaha! mi-blague)
Roland Cadieux 4 months ago

Salut Stefan,

Il pleut tout le temps... ou c'est nuageux... quel été!!

Utilises-tu Premiere CS4? si oui il accepte les formats AVCHD utilisés par la Panasonic GH1 mais tu dois downloader le update 4.1, Ca dépend aussi du format de ton appareil... Premiere CS3 n'accepte pas les formats AVCHD tu dois avoir un logiciel comme Cineform Neo Scene pour les convertir en .avi.

Merci pour ton offre mais en aout je suis débordé... :)

Salut Roland,

Belle images!

Sur quel design as-tu basé ton steadicam?

Merci!
Roland Cadieux 4 months ago

Merci Birck! j'ai basé ma gimbal sur ce model: vimeo.com/3822991 par contre mon design differt beaucoup du sien. je vais probablement ajouter quelques photos bientôt.
Power Tase 4 months ago

Nice shots, nice camera... What about DOF? As i see, not too shallow
Roland Cadieux 4 months ago

Thanks Power!

This clip was shot with the kit lens with a maximum F-Stop of 4.0, with prime lens like 50mm f1.4 you'll get better shallow depth of field like in my first test with the GH1 vimeo.com/5226497

Its not a full frame camera like the 5dm2 but for the price its not bad.
Thomas Nordanstad 3 months ago

Roland. wonderful stuff. Just spent my first day with the GH1 and really like it..
So that song? Someone says it is Jason Miraz? I can´t find any with that name on Itunes? What´s the name of the song?
Good work - merci bien!

Alexander Films LLC 19 days ago

You say it can shoot 1080p, but in truth it's shooting 1080i - correct? It uses that awful pull-down to create the 24"p" look. I'm used to my HVX200, shooting 720p 24PN through my LetusEx 35 adapter. That's true progressive shooting at 24fps. The HVX200 also shoots 1080 at 24p, but using the same pull-down through 1080i video that the GH1 uses.
