  1. 48fps wont be the new standard, 24fps has always been the staple and I dont see that changing. On the other hand, if cinema's wanted me to pay a premium, it'll be for watching a screen thats not horribly projected(bulb turned down for cost reasons) and being seated with actual polite audience who dont bring their kids/baby's to a Rated-R movie, and having people use their phones during a movie. So I'd rather pay for a more polite humanity haha :D

  2. I don't agree. Highest usable ISO is 3200. What other DSLRs do better for 2012? Only two spring to mind - 5D Mark III and 1D X. Both a LOT more expensive than the GH3. And in low light you need to stop the lens right down on those if you want manageable focus. Needing more than ISO 1600 or 3200 at F0.95 in low light is rare. As for tight spaces, I assume you're talking about shooting actors with the camera rammed up their noses. For that you will indeed be better off with a 50mm on a 5D Mark III rather than 50mm on the GH2. Oh I forgot - maybe use a 25mm!??

  3. Here's the thing with moire & aliasing... ALL cameras have it. Even the 1D C and that is $12,000, and the Blackmagic Cinema Camera. The 5D Mark II had much worse moire and aliasing than the GH3 and that didn't stop it being used by pros in Hollywood. It isn't a desirable quality of the image but the way some guys have gone on about it on forums has been ridiculously over the top. The list of cameras that the GH3 is better than for moire and aliasing is staggeringly long - 5D2, NEX 5N, NEX 5R, NEX 7, A99, D800, D600, 7D, 60D, 600D, 650D, EOS M, 550D, OM-D and nearly every other DSLR on the market. The 5D3 is soft but when you sharpen in post sometimes you get some aliasing. The GH2 had slightly less moire & aliasing than the GH3 given the same situation. But it still occasionally flared up. Not so much in the real world but with a very sharp lens with a very narrow band of fine patterns. You may get 1 occurrence out of every 100 shots with it. On the GH3 maybe you'll get 5 occurrences out of a 100. Depends what you're shooting. The 5D2 was doing it on roof tiles and water!! All sorts of stuff. The GH3 seems to have a lighter anti-aliasing filter, so there's a very slightly wider window of fine patterns that it occurs on. I hope this puts the GH3's moire into perspective. I know it can be a confusing issue, as it depends on so many different factors whether you get some or not. By the way, it is far less visible on a TV or projector than it is on a computer monitor - which is the least organic and cinematic way to watch video.

    Testing Sony-FS700

    This was a post work i've done with footage from FS700. Not impressed at all with the image, crushed and noisy blacks and very little detail on them. Not very color grading friendly. Hope you enjoy it. Cheers. [url="https://vimeo.com/54260882"]https://vimeo.com/54260882[/url]

  5. Here's part one of a new music promo film I shot in Snowdonia using the FS700. I think there's one shot in there from RX100.Some nice CG in there too! Enjoy! [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PNGquFXmLOU[/media]

  7. Cheers, much appreciated. Just watched the vids on their site again & it should make a lot of a difference. I'm with you on sticking with EOS (2in1 camera) & renting, just makes sense - oh, & ML is just hands down the best hack. I'm waiting for the 5D mk2 to hit below £1k - real bargain with that filter. Interesting & his stuff on the 5D workflow is good (scanning 1080 to 2k): http://www.hurlbutvisuals.com/blog/2012/11/canon-5d-still-a-workhorse/ The ML hacked 7D could be a goldmine if they get it right & it's hit the £1k mark, but needs to drop more.

    [center]Here is a web/television series I do that highlights artist in the DC area shot with the GH2. I recently got mLooks, so only Black Alley was color graded (b-roll shots) before posting online.[/center] [center] You can check out the series and the latest video posted [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UIk2NDjlpHI&feature=plcp[/media] Thanks for watching![/center]

  10. The image out of camera loses some false-detail sharpness but responds a lot better to sharpening, by the looks of it. I noticed this about anamorphic too, the softening effect of the wide stretch lets the footage respond nicely to sharpening, and you can push a lot harder than with spherical lenses. The humble 550D also denoises in a far nicer way than the FS700, I think, though it doesn't have the 422 or ultimate sharpness. Combined with ultra-hacked I-frame bitrates on 600D I think this filter will help to peak this generation of cheap and cheerful EOS! I think there's still life in it yet ;) and there's whole new generation of film-makers with even less cash and even fresher ideas yet to come...
