[patrixiomadrid]

hack?

[NewAgeDirector]

Great video keep up the good work.

[shitchops]

i would love to eat acid in that desert.. provided i had lots of water of course :D

[patrixiomadrid]

como hago que mi gh1 grabe a 24p?

[letz950recordz]

:o ! incredible quality , good job ;)

[EmoJesterJuliana]

This is probably a dumb question, but would this be considerably an alternative to the Canon T2i?

[patrixiomadrid]

very cool

[kossioc]

Hi, with which software did you edit this ?

[Hex72]

S'all about the glass

[iPOwLinda]

wats the music?

pow

[mrfolkroots]

Hi, after reading the suppliment covering the GH1 that came with Digital Camera magazine, I sought out this video... I'm intending to purchase a GH1 later this year, but my other question is, What movie editing software did Phillip Bloom use to put this video together?

[FilmMaster1001]

I really want this camera, would look great in my short film upcoming!

[TheRandomSetup]

I love it, i think i am going to give this cam a shot

[Werdtourmother]

This makes me sound like such a rookie but I need some help. I just got a GH1 fir Christmas as my my first real deal camera. I'm new to the game and curious about how you do :35 . what is that called and how do you do it? Any help is super appreciated

[Malfunction]

@Werdtourmother I assume you're talking about the close focus-far focus, its called "Rack Focus" i believe, set your lens and camera to manual focus, then figure out the distances on both, and just go back n forth ;)

[djsanderdj]

the last minute was shot with a zeiss 16mm ultra prime T1.9 lens ($14,300.00)

[djsanderdj]

"Using stock lens for 2/3rd of it, and PL mount Ultra Primes. We had Zeiss Ultra Primes, from 16mm to 85mm. They were all T1.9 "

[PHILLYATCHi]

Which lens did you use for this video, and is the Lumix G2 better? nice video by the way.

[hanmika]

is this non hack or hacked?

[ipublica]

Thanks, you have convinced me that the Lumix GH1 cannot only compete with the Canon D5, while less than half of the price, but it's sharper, simply sharper. I had the Canon EOS 400D and luckily could sell it for a good price, because a USA friend of mine bought the tiny Lumix GMC-LX3 and the sharpness of his images and the color accuracy just got me in trouble. I admit the Canon took nice close-ups but for landscape and any 18mm wide-angle setting of the kit lens, the images were never sharp.

[alanbstard4]

@ipublica don't be too sure. see this in youtube

Canon EOS 5D Mark II HD Video. IN THE PARK 2

[ipublica]

@alanbstard4 Thanks for the hint, yes, very convincing footage, super sharp indeed. My decision is not yet made. If you are a photographer, I'd be interested in comparing the photos made by D5 and GH1 – so far we were talking only about video, right? What is the prof. photographer's choice when we are talking about photos only? (I can't afford a Hasselblad). Thanks again.

[alanbstard4]

@ipublica Hi! I am of the understanding the the GH1 and presumably the improved GH2 are excellent video cameras. I suspect that location and subject of the 5D footage I supplied was well chosen by the photographer. Perhaps the GH1 would do as well with the same subject matter

I like the GH1 very much. I may be buying the GH2 soon, a matter of days.

I think the Pros prefer 5D as they are good at both video and photo.

Wait a while and look at the GH2. You may be surprised

[ipublica]

@alanbstard4 Hello, how are you? Thanks again for your precious support. Now, I need to tell you a little about my purpose for of course, as you mention yourself, the choice also depends on what kind of photography one does. I never do wildlife, I leave over landscape to the great masters, I need good footage for my corporate seminars, my creative school project, and documentaries. I also love food photography and need a good tilt lens, as well as art object photos.

[alanbstard4]

@ipublica I've been talking to my camera sales chap this morning. He has photographed famous people, inclding GW Bush when President. He still claims the Canon 5D is the best as it is a full frame camera, the GH2, which I do like, and the 7D, are not full frame

He sells cameras to professionals. He supplies them. Not just an ordinary camera shop

If you can get a tilt lens for the 5D, I would go for the 5D. It also takes Zeiss and Leica glass

[ipublica]

@alanbstard4 Dear friend, that's really important information. I also got some more info in the meantime. You remember that image of the Cathedral. Please crop out a piece of it and put it back at the same size. You will get a very blurred image. Now, do the same with an image taken with the D5 and you will see that what you get is almost the same sharpness, which means the overall precision-quality of the images is really much better with the D5 sensor.

[ipublica]

@alanbstard4 The creative school project I have is actually one that is an add-on to traditional school, for children gifted for the media, art and design and IT, as well as piano (I am a pianist also). Means small children should be able to to handle the camera, which was impossible before with my Sony VX-2000 as it was heavy. The D5 with a good glass also is very heavy, the GH2 is much lighter.

[alanbstard4]

@ipublica

see this new gh2

LUMIX GH2 with F1.7 pancake lens in cathedral

[ipublica]

@alanbstard4 Thanks so much. I saw it on my Mac Pro in full 1080i on a 23" Monitor and every detail is clear, also sound quality is excellent. Do you know if this pancake lens is a Lumix lens? Look, our times are unbelievable. About 15 years ago to make such a footage you had to use a SONY that costs 200k ...

[boobtubefever]

Wow, well done fantastic images

[pandaman0529]

Is this with the stock 14-140mm lens?

[J90lude]

WOW!!!

[durgesh147]

Awsome video !!! Thanks for sharing .. :-)

[mrsparkelo]

Thank you for capturing Joshua Tree like that.

Well done.

[yvobaas]

[willwill288]

[hernancito2000]

Hello Phillip, here from Argentina!

I have a question concerning low-light shooting in GH1.

Sometimes, I experience red vertical lines when filmed in high iso.

This is a defect in some GH1? Or just is not able to use the ISO in due course?

I am a bit scared with this, because I believe that my camera actually has a problem.

Thank you!

H.

[FreedomFilmdotcom]

Export settings? Droplet? Please share.

[peachy961]

What artist produced the music track you have on here? I love it.

[pinoyblues]

which one is better when it comes to hd video... olympus epl 1 or Lumix gh1? help please I cant decide which one is better...

[Dr23rippa]

@pinoyblues It will be the GH1 all day

[misskokota]

bellissimo!!!

Anche i colori cn cui si ha filmato.... insomma tutto stupendo!complimenti

[torchidman]

Very good then...............I can appreciate your thoughts on this..................I take my work serious, and this is why I own a 3 ccd cam.................I do alot of production work for a local studio and you can view my work too..............I may take a few bucks and buy a dig cam and keep it on the side................torchidman­.

[C0RONEL]

It´s a real shame, the director spoiled and threw away the whole thing by putting people climbing the rocks who have nothing to do with the poetry of the music, rhythm and images of this amazing desert landscape.

Ignacio González

[torchidman]

thanks again....

[torchidman]

thanks for the reply.................

[torchidman]

also, does the cameras software come with editing and or converting tools? So I could just edit within the software and upload to You Tube without using Windows Movie Maker or any of the others.........don't care much for Vegas and the like as they are complicated, plus alot of money.....TC....

[UniversalBrother108]

its a little tricky, the camera comes with no editing software, and you have to be able to handle .mts files. I use a mac and had to by transcoding software, I got voltaichd which has worked great.

[Cyr1216]

sorry, but if you are planning on spending money on this kind of camera, you should atleast be willing or know how to edit in a semi professional program. this isn't a consumer camera for filming your kid's soccer games, but more so if you are into cinematography and/or filmmaking, in which case you should be way passed windows movie maker.

[torchidman]

Great production...............I own a panasonic ag dvc20...........no digital, just tape.........I realize that I could acheive a much better look with a digital camera, not just a dig camcorder..........but tell me how I can load all those HD clips onto windows movie maker, esp if you get 30 fps....in a 10 second clip that would be 300 total clips!.....Am I missing something...........and thank you for any help;

TC.

[torchidman]

That must have been a gay rock climber!....lol....

[HyperColours]

I know your trying to showcase the camera and the picture quality which is stunning but you editing was to choppy from scene to scene, your timing between shots was to quick, not giving thee eye time to lock settle on the image.

I notice some rolling shutter when teh snake moved through the scene.

Also I noticed no panning shots, only a tilting one.

Nice ending in the golden hour, fantastic camera for sure.

[ogatobranco]

@HyperColours In his defense i may say that snakes move like that, so i don't think jello effect from rolling shutter wasn't present... of course it may be in a very subtle way but i didn't notice it...

And yes... panning shots would be nice... and camera is awesome... but too expensive for my pocket (14-140mm lens... >_>)....but then again even G1 is too expensive for me :(

[HyperColours]

I agree you could be right, the snakes motion and skin could create a similar look to rolling shutter.

Your not alone as the G1 is out of my league as well, its something I would love to buy second hand and when its dropped in price considerably.

[ibanezgr]

@HyperColours

Wow! When did this turn into CriticTube... Take it easy.....

[HyperColours]

@ibanezgr come on, this is an advert / show case of the positive only, critical analysis is how things get better and develop, I hope the resolve the jelly roll problem in the next generation of DSLR.

[ibanezgr]

Of course it's an advert, but if you know how to use the camera and the programs, this quality isn't hard to get. But your analyses was more on the editing and not the camera, which is the important part of this video.

[lemonzawodowiec]

Hey Mr Panasonic, give us some info about lenses used during recording this video : D

[rossipal]

look at philip blooms blog :)

[asmight]

Did you crop for anamorphic, or is there a setting?

[LoreleiMission]

0:40 was a moment of confusion. Long shot showed what appeared to be a male climber with no shirt on... then the close-up had red-painted fingernails... was a little jarring. But perhaps some male climbers like to have red fingernails -- not that there's anything wrong with that -- ;)

[audibleE]

Climbers don't usually hold onto the rope while climbing. Unless they're coming down. That most likely was the belay person at the bottom. Either way, them finger nails wouldn't be painted if she was a climber, they'd be chewed up and gritty.

[antiochus66]

is this Shrubbery a see before me....

[keembro]

was this shot in 1080 at 24 fps or 720 at 60fps?

great footage, very encouraging.

[kellygiz]

@ young fii - I know that Phillip uses Magic bullet looks for colour grading. I'll assume thats what he used for this. Of course he used a variety of lenses to shoot it.

@ lololpalooza - One thing Phillip always says is that AVCHD sucks as an editing format. Always convert to something like prores.

@ lwams - It shows exactly what the GH1 can do. Shoot amazing HD video through a variety of lenses. But it can't handle a lot of camera movement

@ bristolstories - all progressive.

[poolboyinla]

This is really excellent.

[thedeepchristy]

cool- Im filming now testing out this HD cam I have

[YoungFii]

is this sincerely raw footage or are you using editing programs or some type of lens??..God Bless

[Noahpankow]

He never stated this was for your evaluation..

Why do people feel like they have to be so negative all the time..

What happened to the old saying: If you don't have anything nice to say-shut the fuck up.

[FLORES1171]

if only panasonic didnt underestimate how popular the gh1 would end up being!! im still on a waiting list :(

[claudioagmfilho]

great video ...

[lololpalooza]

Did you do any color correction? If so, how is working with AVCHD? Is it hard converting to a workable format?

[lwams]

this film doesnt show me anything that the gh1 can do... i want to see something with more movement.

[antiochus66]

if they were to show you such things then it would not be a promotional clip,with hired hands.

it would be a journalist piece,with some criticism.

[bristolstories]

Lovely images. Was it shot in the progressive-scan mode? Camera movement and the moving branches didn't look so smooth: is that due to the compression, or to the progressive scan?

[JackNeedles]

I was thinking of buying a Canon HV40, but now I think I might buy this. This looks really nice. In fact, the image on this looks sharper.

[OnlyInJapanTV]

I'm stumped. Now to buy a DSLR with video. This is too cool. The PL lenses really make a difference (using a special adaptor).

[BrookeLimas]

This looks like the quality of a movie! Great work!

[chrysop66]

amazing

[Lorwen44]

Great! I really want one of these but even the normal G1 is far too expensive for me :(

[eat911t]

I didn't think REAL SLR's did video...

[psynema]

What LENS WAS USED????

[DirkSchooner]

I am just waiting for this camera to be released. My only question is the quoted price for UK is about £1200, yet in Japan its Less than £850 (127,800 Yen). Is this true, and do we have a release date yet?

[revowithin]

probably second week of june.

[UKInfoWarrior]

i am very tempted by the DMC-GH1. very tempted.

[ProfessionalWatches]

Great work!

[aftermaya]

Puro spettacolo, visto questo video sono corso ad ordinarla =)

[johnboy1uk]

Very nice photography, very professional.Fantastic scenery.

[HC3]

There's nothing worse than actually being a professional and then being told that your work is "professional". Doh! Quite the insult.

Video was great.

[felixcock]

This mans balls have been filled by the cream of Panasonic.

[anonermers]

holy cow. Absolutely gorgeous. Did you use the stock lens? Was this color corrected?

[cmartins10]

a fabulous job! after watching this video I have a huge desire to adequirir a Lumix GH1! congratulations Philip and Panasonic :)

[kolbola]

Incredible!
