Great community, some cool threads and topics going on today, strong as ever! For instance, to me it is clear, great ergonomy/handling makes me wanna shoot. I´m in camera class, so good vibes and good ideas make me wanna shoot as well. Not matter if its a miniDV or G6 or EX1 or some kick ass cam, ergonomy and crew are trump, story comes after that:) Same here, crew is trump, content comes from these talents! I would love to have more disussion and exchange evolving around shooting and creating films. Love quick n dirty (run n gun) exercises of one or various aspects of filming and this and that and this and that.. Unfortunately a forum site´s interface fengshui never seems to lurk people into the screening room sections, myself included :/ On vimeo I search for vids finding cool stuff but never engage in communication. Can´t we have both? That is a hot-buttoned issue right here, don´t you think, Ed, just a joyful one!:) cheers

Surely looks pretty!:) So underneath one would screw the baseplate then to have the rods, the lenssupport, ffocus and possibilitiy to put it on an awesome tripod, right? @Fritz Pierre Right now I will be going for the cheap but not cheesy route:) But once I´m rich and famous I gonna rig my G6 up with a helicopter:) EDIT: Wow, that would make a nice quote. This forum is really a source of inspiration to me! With a GX80 and a good rig it should be possible to have a smooth transition from shoulder work to super free hand camera aperatus stuff. So first I want a rig I can love as much as my cam or makes me love my cam much, much more. Great ergos are so important. That´s why a fried of mine still shoots with his two mini DV camcorders. That leads me to a topic I should post some time- the look of 3 CCDs, Yeah, this forum is giving me joy again! Thanks, you guys!

Hey JGHarding! was thinking the XC10 should have a 50mbps 422 broadcast codec for 1080p: https://translate.google.de/translate?sl=de&tl=en&js=y&prev=_t&hl=de&ie=UTF-8&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.slashcam.de%2Fartikel%2FTest%2FCanon-XC10---geschrumpfte-C300---Aufzeichnungsformate.html%23Aufze&edit-text= On that site they also got a chart showing nearly perfect 1080p resolution, better than GH2 if you compare it from their database. Camera looks promising. Worth renting over the weekend I´d say, even if it would just be for the 1080p 422. So is CLOG also available in HD format? Hey merce, happy to type in the friendly and ordinary Eoshd area again:) Friend of mine loves his mini DV camcorders for their handling and their 3 CCDs. Just the interlacing...:) In the vid I posted in the thread about the 8mm digilook we filmed with four diferent cams, two mini DV cams and two photocams- I dare myself to call my own camera just a photocam- it´s a G6, darn!:)

Hey Grimor, great info. Thank you very much! What follow focus are you using? What number does the lens support have? Checked amazon- is it the smallrig 1087?

Hey Grimor, fantastic post for a rigging newbie like me. I´m not a newbie when it comes to shoot some cute short stuff though!:) Thank you very much! What are the names of the different parts. I numbered them 1,2,3:) Looking beautiful, and I guess number 2 is a lenssupport. Where did you get that one from? That silverringy must be some FD Beauty!!!:) Now getting exited, would you mind to show a tiny bit of footage shot with this setup?:) Love my FD lenses other than in very bright sunlight! cheers, Panny (Marty)

@andy lee, always saving stuff you´re recommending in my favorites. Problem is, I´m losing my overview:) Bought the Tokina 28-85 F4.0 you recommended for the parfocal and non breathing attributes and its look. My sample changes focus though a little bit when zooming out, otherwise it is in new condition, such a beauty that I almost don´t wanna use it. It is very heavy and the mount of my Panny G6 is bending with it and my FD adapter. So keeping that gini rig in my favorites now with the tokina 2870, the canon fd 3570 and 35105.. I´m a total novice to rigging and stuff like baseplates and such. Do you have a simple setup with baseplate, and lenssupport for the tokina? On your shooting BTS with the glorious g7 i have a hard time to specify the brands or even the detail how the lenssupports look like. Oh, budget friendly solutions are welcome:) Planning a short in a theatre, problem is I got my camera crew and plenty light to rent for free of charge, but director wants to change the script and producer is shy to organize things, no casting yet neither, filming scheduled for second half of august. Considering a solidly rigged GX80 or G70 with the Tokina and adequate lenssupport and my treasure FD20mm, all on a FD chinabooster. Sorry for the flow consciousness:) Thank you for all the input you have been given to us! cheers, Marty

Hallo Mattias, How does it go with your LS300? Some night JLog footage on youtube looked pretty solid at higher ISOs. How about the 120fps? Maybe I should just rent this baby! Should be fun! @Ehetyz, how is the external monitoring, via SDI only but otherwise hasslefree? Is the 2.5K mode in raw only or also available in Prores and does 1080p involve an additional crop from 2.5K? Did you have overheating issues with it? Thanks and cheers

Hey Renaissance Man, Thanks for mentioning that. This infomation lead me to some inspiring BTS footage. This is the high quality stuff this awesome forum is about! Greatly appreciated. Also enjoyed @Justin Bacle´s post about the Lomo anamorphic lens and his footage in the anamorphic section. I think it is awesome, once a certain level of IQ is reached (GH2,3,4 G6/7, AF100 levels) it comes to ergonomy and the pure joy of shooting and lighting and creating stuff it is causing. By the way, you and me have been typing about profiles for G6 and your GH3. Would like to see some of your stuff you shot with it in Natural profile, if that is possible. I posted a link of my G6 test footage back then. cheers

That is of course meant by the notion of authorities, that the scammed either decide to use legal procedure and involve police and authorities of the legal system or to find another way of dealing with the matter and the doer of the scam, who and how many and under what photographic appearance he/she/they might be. So, its up to the scammed victims to decide within the legal boundries and/or their will and successful ability to negotiate with the scamming person(s). It is NOT up to anybody else on this forum to initiate web2.0 contacts of the person believed to have the alias of EbarhimS. And this is not only about the scam victims nor the scammer. This is Andrew´s forum, not anybodys communicational infrastructure to planning out a web2.0 campaign.

Hallo @Hanriverprod, we posters enjoy some gratifications and incentives to give lengthy answers to help solve problems. At least I do. So thanks and Likes as well are highly welcome:) Would you like to post a trailer of the film you guys shot on that Red? Always cool to see stuff. Myself I´m still shooting with my G6. Where are you from? Asking, because renting can be super cheap in certain parts of the world, in others it might not be possible as others have pointed out. Coming from the ES post I start to appreciate the benefits of nettiquette a lot more now:) cheers

I´m with you on that big time, dhessel! @andy lee, if you feel to drop a line on this, maybe you can find the time to do so. I have been promoting the idea of leaving it to authorities before. I do not feel like screaming it through the vast number of posts. It is not a pleasure I want to learn to find. Anyway, leaving it to the authorities is the legally right procedure in this regards matter, involving the account ES, the scam victims, the forum posters and not least of all Andrew! Andrew suggested that as well to leave it to authorities!

You are so very right, man! You guys, hold your actions on behalf of Andrew! His platform is not the place to organize collective acts as suggested on this page of the thread. It is Andrew´s place, not anybody elses forum to plan out activities against internet criminals! Andrew is working hard on filming, he cannot chim in at the moment, so let´s respect that and behave in consequence of that like guests in his house, not like operators of large scale web2.0 operations. If people wish to do so, they should use their own communication channels. @andy lee Do you follow my logic above? Though I´d leave that to the authorities as well!!!

Fellas, Good Fellas, When Bobby De Niro said "this is this and that is that" in Deerhunter, at least I remember that line that way, he knew a point. Point is, I feel to have a kind of obligation to post in this thread and I don´t like that. Point is, I feel to have to quote myself, which I do like, for the matter of content and a certain humerous flavour. So, it is possible the kid on the photos and on web2.0 with his community is not the poster but a victim of ID theft. Reaching out to his community would destroy an innocent person. If poster and scammer are the same person, there is no hurry to fullfill desires of penalty. So either ways, don´t contact the circle of friends. Contact authorities. Said that before, but not willing to quote myself again. Paraphrasing myself from my earlier post: I call him Bobby since the days he´s been calling me Marty. cheers, Marty

Out of cam it´s not giving me satisfying color just yet. I love this little cam though. I shoot Natural with everything on -2 but color on 0. I suggest manual White Balance rather than adjusting numbers of Kelvin manually. I recently also tried to adjust my White Balance within the G6 to values A3 and G3 as John has suggested in the Panasonic GX80 thread on this forum. The thing is, in my opinion a lot of beautiful color is "hidden" in that codec. You can achieve that color in Davinci and other software with usage of saturation of R G B channels separately or in combination, luma and chroma curve in combination or separately. These are very strong tools. Any other tools are just different visualizaitions of the same parameters. cheers Hey Tweak! yes, it felt really like from the place of fanatasy/cinema. So 4:3 mode is not further cropping the 4K image to the sides?- Lemme google quickly for pixel resolution- 3328x2496 pixels (Panasonic website, Firmware 2.2) Is that cropped or pixel binned (or whatever:) from the width of 4086 pixels? If cropped, it would be a 1.23 crop factor in the x- axis of the sensors 4K resolution, so making the 4K 2.25 crop a 2.76 crop (1.23*2.25)? So a 28mm taking lens would have the same FOV like a 39mm lens on a full frame photo cam (f.i. 5D or D800) in the X- axis: 28mm * 2.76 (4:3 sensor crop- 3328 of 4096 pixels of x-axis) : 2 (2x stretch of the anamorphic) = 28mm * 2.76 : 2 = 38.6mm OR 28mm * 2.25 :2 = 31.5mm ? cheers By the way, I like the grading. Basic showing of the raw power of beautiful RAW!:)

Hey! how does it come C100 II looking too soft? As far as I read, it has some of the highest resolving 1080p images around. Heck, my Lumix G6 really has plenty resolution. How big is the screen? Just recently somebody asked about the AF100, a camera with supposely lower dynamic range than a Canon 7D, and lower perceived resolution than a GH2, if one considers the wisdoms of various internet platforms. Still, in the recent EOSHD thread about the AF100, a poster came up with the notice that one of the highest adrenalin action films of the last ten years has been filmed with it- The Raid. There is plenty of BTS footage on the web. So, how big is the screen supposed to be, if C100 with its resolution is not supposed to fit the bill? I think choice of camera should be yours anyway as you are the DOP. What did you shoot your first feature with? If you´re used to the camera and happy with the results, why not use it again? Would you like to post a link to the trailer of your first feature? Other than that, Sony F3 is a camera a lot of people are admiring. Ironfilm even owns one and has been giving me good reasons to have it on my radar. I would really like to use one. Right now I´m still learning with my Lumix G6. So Sony PMW F3 it would be for its sensor, ergonomics, external 10bit, or JVC LS300 for its 1080p 4:2:2 Broadcast codec and additional internal 4K or C300 for its Broadcast codec, sensor, ergos. All of em have internal NDs. The Sony might cost around 2000-3000 USD, JVC 3000, C300 maybe 4000-5000. C300 only has EF mount, Sony FZmount and JVC m43mount- tese are more flexible lenswise than EF mount. Oh, don´t rely just on selling the then purchased expensive 8000USD camera equipment over here as your only possible marketplace, because three forummember have been victims of a scamming account very recently. Trusting a new seller with such amounts of money involved is rather a thing of harder choice or decision since then. cheers Hey IronFilm, Do you have some footage you shot with the F3, maybe internal 8bit and external 10bit? cheers

Hallo Tweak, I really like the movement of the fore- and background planes against one another. Is that an effect of the anamorphic lens? Also, does it only do the stretching towards the sides or towards top and bottom as well? I actually start to like the colors I am getting out of Panasonic G6. After a while of grading in Davinci a lot of DPX files are starting to build up a nice library of shortcuts for grading. On the GH4 would it be a 4:3 crop out of the 16:9 4K crop of the 4:3 sensor? If the crop for 4K is around 2.3, how much is it for the 4:3 mode? cheers

It is possible, that we are talking to a person, who is still in posession of accounts under the name of Ebrahim- which is not the poster´s name nor identity. That poster being still in need of that account for whatever thinkable purposes. A video would rather clarify questions of identity.

Adds up to that, if the numbers on the left are the birth date showing day, month and year. They are reappearing further to the right again. The person on the IDs photo and on the BTS photograph and the other ones SEEMS genuine and additionally MIGHT be the poster. The IDs photo and IDs data MIGHT belong together. 26 does not equal 21.

Fellas, I have been pointing towards the responsibility of authorities and a neutral tone of writing without insults. But what are the numbers on the piece of ID? Are they telling a birth date? If so, it wouldnt conclude an age of 21.

I had done research on the Convergent website last winter. Back then it said, FSraw license is extra cost to pay. It´s one package for FS7/700 and C500.

One thing for sure, this incident is making me aware of the millions of people involved in alter egos, vastly adventerous internet personas and stuff. I would never have expected getting an outlook on the web2.0 like that through EOSHD. This thread made me check some of the social media platforms which have been named in these posts. Never imagined what a jungle it is. An exponential manufacture of thought, impulse to activity, may it be for the better or the worse, may it be for peace or other causes.

Don´t know, might be a tiny bit of wishful thinking involved, nah, GX80 looked great. At 3.50 ungraded it looked the best to me, maybe because of WB or different different light. At the beginning you underexposed the GX80 a lot. To protect the highlights? How many stops did you push it in post? Seems like the lower mids and the darks are affected by strong macroblocks and lack of shades in the darkest parts. Great informative test, even more if you have a chance to give a few background infos about the technicalities of your test. Great vid and work. Thank you. Oh, maybe you should put this vid up in a separate thread, so it gets the attention and discussion the topic is worth of! Maybe in the GX80 thread as well. Cheers

I got it backed up:)

Hey Fuzzy, what kinda system did you set up? Isn´t the GX7 pretty thick for a consumer 8bit codec already? Asking, because Panny G6 most definately is a pleasing experience to me in that regard. Or is it Resolve seeming to do wonders? cheers Hey Liam, alway loving cheap solutions. So much enjoyment out of the fact to get great results with such cute consumer tech, if one knows what he does. Just felt like responding, sorry, this scamming post is really not an amusing matter, but lowfi tech talk really is. Cheers! Oh Dude, happy to see you in the pleasure zone of EOSHD again!:) What you crazy, first selling that G7- so no more 8bit challtenges anymore, now getting rid off the BMMCC. XC10, wow, cool! I think I gonna rent one and grading the heck out of it! Good to feel this gear related exitement in this post! I will be shooting a short with lighting team and one camera assistent in a theater either end of August of September. September would be better, cuz director wants to change the script and hasnt done any casting yet. Crazy film people:)

Forgot to put your quote in I was relating my answer to. Gee, bad etiquettes of mine:)
