    Wow! Probably the most epic GH1 movie on Vimeo!
  • Wii Yatani plus 2 years ago
    not as epic as that MJ tribute!

    Wow I loved it!It looks like your shutter was more than double the frame rate? The part where the song slows down and you have the camera facing up the hill shooting slowmo seems a little choppy. I had the same issue with my GH1 when I set the shutter speed too high and then slowed it down. But honestly, the video was one of the best GH1 vids I've seen yet. Props. You got talent!

    I used a vari ND and ND9 and I still had to shoot at like 1/500/1000 to control the sun. I didn't want to mess with the aperture. Any tips? Stacking them loses quality I think.
  • Andrew Garcia plus 2 years ago
    And your iso was at 100? Yeah, I think I would close the aperture a little in favor of the more film-like motion - just my opinion :)

    Formatt filters in UK has the HiTech range of ND still filters that goes up to 10 steps of reduction (3.0)

    formatt.co.uk/stills-filters/filters/standard-n-d/high-density-neutral-standard-filters.aspx

    You need a filter holder for those - Formatt makes such ones as well but they also work with the Cokin P holder.

    Good job nonetheless in the hard lighting conditions! Shooting in sunlight and snow is bloody difficult. You got great shots in motion there once the action gets going. And I like how you build up to the actual skating and then have a quick tail on the story.

    Hey Wii-- watched it again- SWEET! (BTW your demoreel is sick bro!!!!)

    anyhow I'm heading up to Stowe for our annual getaway in the mountains and I've decided to brave the elements and bring the GH-1 out on the mountain- I'm building a lightweight DIY stabilizer/rig.
    Question for you: Did you ride with the articulated LCD out for framing reference or did you leave it closed up and just...point and shoot. Also* were most of the shots on the mountain with the 20mm pancake?

    thanks

  • Wii Yatani plus 2 years ago
    Thanks Zack! I love Stowe but unfortunately haven't made my way up there this season.

    I had the LCD closed while riding. Not sure if it makes a huge difference but thought maybe the wind would affect the stability. All riding shots were with the slightly wider 14-140. Everything else was with the 20mm. Would love to see what kind of footage you get and the results of your DIY rig. good luck!

    also** Did you leave on Full AUTO "Ai" or manual when riding?
  • Wii Yatani plus 2 years ago
    All manual

    cheers!

    Great work!
    The GH1 really is an ideal combination of a manual cinema cam and an autofocus flip-out LCD camera.. Something like this would be much, much harder to pull off on... say a 7D/550D.
  • Wii Yatani plus 1 year ago
    absolutely. the GH1 is a great run and gun type cam.
