thanks RoberB1. just enabled the download, wait a little - replacing it with the typo fixed.

so it handels very well at night, do u travel with a portable lite kit or was was it all lit with existing, 2 it really looks good, i come to u for advice in my next purchase
nilon d90
or
this camera
Mike Kobal 2 months ago

Rick, I was a bit nervous to use it for this shoot at first, the plan was to shoot with the 5D2 but A) I was very curious if the GH1 can handle night shoots, B) I wanted something more compact then the 5D and look less pro while shooting it. D90 or GH1, no comparison. go with the GH1, much, much better video camera. And you can use any lens (Nikon, Canon etc) via cheap adapters (around $80) on ebay.
Steven Bogda 2 months ago

That tilt up just before 2:00 looked awesome.
Mike Kobal 2 months ago

heh, thanks Steven.
rick ash 2 months ago

mike thank u, man that was a fast reply it was like u were my neighbour across the fence and i shouted hey mike what do i buy, the thing is the mark 2 way out out of my price range but here in canada the nikon d90 1300 dollors with lens and the gh1- 2000 dollors, so i think i am going with the gh1
thanks

Honeyfull pics Mike. Well and funny overdone acting. Good & nice model. GH1 you take also for lightweight trips and evenings even if you own a Canon 5D or 7D! I love my GH1 + pancake 17mm more and more. (loved this music also)

Mattia Santino Merli 2 months ago

Great Mike! How did you get the fish-eye look with the GH1? If I remember well the micro 4/3 has a crop factor of 2.0X, so, if it's a fish-eye for the Lumix it would be a super fish-eye for a 35mm camera!
Mike Kobal 2 months ago

Михаил вы СУПЕР! Видео ряд, музыка, АЛЕКСАНДРА!!!...
У меня технический вопрос по камере. Я приобрел GH1 одну из первых камер. Камера работает отлично при ярком освещении и низкой чувствительности. На высокой - выше 800ISO появляется "banding"- вертикальные тонкие цветные полосы, в основном это заметно на видео. Замечали ли вы на вашей камере что-то подобное?
Спасибо.
Mike Kobal 2 months ago

thanks! no, I haven't noticed any banding and I shoot 1600iso all the time.

Pedro Burgos 2 months ago

Fantastic film, Mike. Congrats. I just got my camera with the 14-140 mm kit. The videos are great when I plug directly on TV. But after the compression and rendering it seems that it loses too much quality, maybe I'm using the wrong parameteres to convert and upload here. Could you tell me which resolution did you shoot and what program/file extension you choose for the convertion? Thanks a lot and keep the videos coming.
Mike Kobal 1 month ago

thanks Pedro. 720/60p converted with voltaicHD then fcp.
I agree. the footage is not very gradable copared to 5D2 or 7D. still a great little camera.
Pedro Burgos 1 month ago

Yep. Still, GH1 is the one that I have and I'll try to learn and get the most of it. Thanks for the tip on voltaicHD, just bought it.
