  1. http://vimeo.com/61304882 Catch the EOSHD interview with Leica's Jesko von Oeynhausenand and hands-on with the Leica M type 240 here The new Leica M (dubbed type 240) has a CMOSIS full frame sensor, and a first for a Leica camera - video. Not since the Leicina 8mm camera (EOSHD article) has a Leica product been viable for cinema. The Leica M of course is primarily a photography tool, but it is interesting to see if Leica have taken the same no-compromise approach to image quality in video mode as they have always done with stills. Furthermore Leica are a company with no high end cinema camera range or video camera market share to protect from themselves (yes - never did make sense that did it?)

  2. http://vimeo.com/62177101 High speed shooting hasn't been possible on DSLRs until now. Again it is the much dismissed Nikon V1 providing the creative inspiration...   http://www.eoshd.com/content/9821/radioactivity-my-400fps-shoot-with-the-nikon-v1

  3. For the GH3, Blanches viewfinder solution is okay, but imho not for the GH2, because it's display is not good enough to find focus. You'd just collect more useless gadgets (like your toy mattebox, which even doesn't seem to take filters). Yesterday I read a review in a german cinematographers magazine of a bunch of the 'best' DSLR rigs (Chrosziel DV Studio, 2200 €, Vocas DSLR pro, 3500 €, Redrock eyespy deluxe, 1400 €, Kinomatik Movietube, 4000 €), and the verdict was, they all had to be rebuilt to work ergonomically with the particular DSLR and for the camera operator. Only the Movietube had the counterweight right. Even the pro admitted that he would rather buy parts and build an own rig according to his needs. I promised to post a DIY big comfortable eyepiece, and I will. I've been testing materials and improving my prototypes, and in a few days I will present a photo tutorial with detailed instructions.

    There are no excuses. It's not the camera. They made a scope action movie with a Nokia. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=PVISpc7EDEk

  5. Hello, this may work, someone else's downloadable burst NEF shots here from the V1 if you want to try this idea out: http://vimeo.com/61774105#

  6. The workaround I was able to use: import directly into After effects. I used the basic (Ctrl + I) importer, select first frame of the series (And only first frame)...imports the rest that are in the same folder on your hard drive with it. From there you have access to the Raw controls (exposure etc) without transcoding to DNG or any other format... No conversion was necessary. Repeat for each set you want to import. Create a comp with size desired for your end result and drop the imported clip or clips into the comp. Transform the clip to the comp size (if smaller than clip of raw files). The only other thing you may want to do is separate your clips into different sub folders on your hard drive so you can edit each "group" take / scene individually (White balance per 30 frame shot etc) when you import them into after effects. I hope that helps,

  7. Just got my SLR Magic 25mm T/0.95 and I was wondering if anyone has had any issues with focus play on the focus ring? I mounted my 77mm Heliopan variable ND filter to the front of the lens and it seems that there is a good amount of focus play with the added weight to the front of the lens.

  8. Finally got mine! Threw this together in 10 minutes in AE. JUMP. Twixtored, burst at 60. https://vimeo.com/62191830 Here's a quick snapshot of the raw in comparison to the final output.

  9. Hi, i know, for a super professional work, nobody should trust the gh2's soundmeter without headphones. Still: I have had good experience with it. First i tried the unified hack, then several from driftwood. The soundmeter was always reliable, in the middle, never in the red and no distortions. I always put the Mic level on 1 and set my rode video mic pro to 0. Now i switched to Flow Motion which i visually like the best so far. With the same camera and mic settings i had almost no sound in my recordings. Just when i really pushed the mic level i got decent sound (level 3). The problem is, now the soundmeter gets into the red zone quite often with the sound being ok. Getting the soundmeter into the red is something i always tried to avoid in the past, as a distortion is really hard to fix. But now red is not a no-go anymore. So i sort of lost my trust into the soundmeter with flow motion. Anybody else has similar experiences? The weird thing is, that Flow Motion also uses Per Lichtmans settings, just like driftwood.
