Natural Growth: The Story of Dockside Green
This documentary tells the story of a unique development in Victoria, BC. While other developments meet the minimum standards of sustainability, Dockside uses this as a first principle. It follows a 'triple bottom line' approach, where equal weight is given to ecology, economics and society. Occupying water front property near Victoria's downtown core, it has become the pride of the city and receives visitors from around the world.
Future projects include an extended version of the documentary, where a broader approach will place Dockside into the context of Victoria's evolving relationship with sustainability.
Natural Growth: The Story of Dockside Green was produced/shot by Christopher Ruffell and written/directed by Jordan Harbour. An Aclara Promotions Production.

One thing I would comment on, the audio. It was a little gainy here and there, but everything sounded nice and clear overall. Great work, looks nice.
3 questions:
(1) Which lavalier mike did you use? (impedence, etc.)
(2) Have you tried using dynamic mikes or only condenser?
(1) The GH1 only has AUTOMATIC GAIN CONTROL. Did you find background noise "pumping up" during speech pauses and "pumping down" when the interviewee resumed speaking? (It certainly isn't evident in your film, but it might be a problem with other mikes ("fishpoling" for dialogues for example).
Is there any way to download your film? I'd like to view it on my 42" LCD.
The auto gain did it's part well, and was only ever noticeable during the beginning and end of the interviews, when long stints of silence occurred. So it worked great, just, don't expect to get any room-tone. I'll be doing dual-recording for the future, as safety is important, especially for real-life, one-take stuff.
