That´s what I´d love to see! What company would you propose or promote this idea to, if you were keen about it?:) Wouldn´t Zacuto be able to pull this off? People would buy it I think.

Yeah. Just the combination of full HDMI, XLR, internal recording and battery would be awesome. All in a battery grip size package. But good point though. Found this two minutes ago. But still, "Wouldn´t it be nice", to put it with the Beach Boys:)

Just wondering why it hasn´t been much of a topic. Atomos could bring it on to combine it with their Shoguns and Ninjas. The device would be without the recorder then, cuz of cannibalizing their monitors/recorders. Zacuto could bring it on. But I guess a camera cage with Mini HDMI lock will have to do it plus some Beachtek or Juicedlink:( I think, people would buy this thing with internal 4K and HD recording, battery and XLR, even without the internal recorder.

It´s gonna be a biggie:) Just wondering, why noone is putting out a device like that. Even better, smaller YAGH with battery and SSD recorder! Doesn´t sound tempting?

Hallo, wouldn´t it be possible to bring out a YAGH like device with internal battery and GH4 like battery life? As I´ve seen on this forum there are quiet a few technically well educated people on here, also practioners in the technical fields. Thinking about JCS, Maxotics, Sunyata, Axel and others. Is there anything out there with XLR and sturdy full HDMI or SDI connection AND internal battery? Havent come across anything like that yet. Why not going for a Kickstarter campaign. Guys, would you like to do it? Fame and financial success would be yours!:) Andrew, would you like to promote a project like that to your contacts in the field like Zacuto and so?

Hallo Aaron, Was looking for some G6 profile for Resolve and found this. The author states, Portrait has the most amount of Reds. It´s supporting your find, which I will check out definately! I will be watching out the greyish spots in skintones and not going too flat, keeping color and contrast around 0/-2, like Zak Forsman is doing too- rather flatening the footage in post. So here are the findings about Portrait and other Panny G6 profiles: http://gro.solexiv.de/2014/02/panasonic-g6-color-profiles/

Hey Aaron, didnt use the LOG converter. Andrew´s fine tuning was done for CineV, right. Don´t have a GH4.

Hey video and film lovers, Messed around with an Input Lut for flatening the footage before grading. More messing aroung with curves and color wheels. Don´t know, if it would have done better without the Input LUT? Footage is lowlight. Rest of the info in the video. It´s G6 all -2 on Natural. Quiet happy, though I recognize the obvious flaws, not the less obvious ones though:) If I can be happy with my G6 for low light footage and a somehow filmic Gestalt, then GH4 should do easily. 10bit, killer! By the way, why doesn´t anyone put out a YAGH like device, little smaller with big internal battery?

Hey Andrew, the fun part IS your footage. And I don´t say that for trying to play it nicely to you. Seriously, you got a nice down to earth approach, and it´s very classical. Only one time I didnt feel exited when you approached a camera and that was the FZ1000. Not my taste of grading and colors. But for instance your 5DIII RAW vs GH4 video was killer. Also, all your GH2 stuff. Liked you original version of the Bladerunner vid better than Shian Storm´s graded one. Though Shian´s GH4 music video done in Cine D!! looks absolutely killer! Your clear footage, not too over the top graded, is beautiful. Just had to say that, cuz your forum/place keeps me exited. Also, since I´m an Eastgerman and so not shy of pathos (don´t know if that would be an Eastgerman sterotype anyhow:), great guys like the humble maxotics, the wild child Aaron Chicago and the mystical Andy Lee are great characters to get a narrative out of! Oh, forgot the rocker rocker Oliver Daniel! By the way, how and what is Andy doing? And, very happy, maxotics is back! cheers and sorry for spilling all the honey, it´s a mess now:)

Hey Aaron, is this 10bit footage? Wonder what 8bit V-Log could do. Doesn´t matter anyhow, it´s never gonna be available for GH4 cheers

Hallo Benjamin, I would need to rewrap the mts files to mp4 if I´d like to use Rocky Mountains Movie Converter on Windows. Do you know a nice n easy rewrap tool without encoding, so there won´t be another encoding step and quality loss when rewrapping? best regards, Marty

Hey, I´m very happy with the G6. Resolution is pretty. Codec doensn´t mind a little bit of color correction and messing with LUTs. Usually shooting all -2 on Natural, color mostly on 0. Kinda sucks for peaking though. Gonna post some examples and my short vid very soon. best regards

Hey, would love to see some more GH3 stuff on Natural profile. On the G6 train and a happy traveller:) Will post a video soon done with the G6. Would you consider showing one or two videos of yours? Also, I dropped you a line on the lens topic. Seb Farges did a video with the 10mm SLR Magic. Looks great. He states it´s sharp wide open. regards, Marty

Hallo, I think Andrew Reid has experience using them, also Seb Farges, who does a lot of lens and anamorphic tests on vimeo. Seb also checks in here sometimes. So maybe you can send them a PM. Here goes a link for one of Seb Farges´ beautiful vids. It´s for the SLR Magic 10mm. cheers

Darn. First one looks stunning! For 15.000 it better does:) Seems like it´s still a big load of money differentiating the high end picture from the prosumer tech. @Aaron, how close could you get with the C100 II of yours, regarding color and the kinda airy feel of the picture? I know it´s not a 15stops camera. Wouldnt know if the picture even demanded the full range of 15 stops though.

Hallo Greg, the sensor seems almost on par with the newer m43 sensors. Looks like you pushed your photo 1.5 to 2 EV in Lightroom. Something I could do with a Panasonic G6 as well. Regarding to Dxomark, RX100 III sensor is a little bit better than G6 sensor in the low iso department, higher isos it´s the other way around. So for daylight RX10 II seems like a great camera on par with GH4 and G7 in the photo department! Would really love to see some more 120fps footage, if it has Full HD resolution like 24p or 30p. Not just on paper but in reality. What is your impression on that? cheers and best regards, Marty

Hey again, maybe giving it a little bit more contrast on the shooting profile could get rid of the tiny amount of greyish cast? Picking -2 or -3 like it has been suggested a lot of times for shooting with the G6 on Natural profile. Did that and in Resolve picked an input LUT like this one: http://juanmelara.com.au/downloads/video2log_lut.zip. Got it from this friendly fellow man: http://juanmelara.com.au/print-film-emulation-luts-for-download So maybe in camera a little less flat and "flatening" via Input Lut in post, then your beautiful Arri LUT on top. Maybe that could cure the greyish cast?

Aaron, looking sweet. Kinda fleshy and rich. One thing though as with a lot footage done in Cine D+LUTs: it seems in some shots there is some greyish tone in the skin color, very lightly though. Am I wrong? Other than that, looks like a Canon color parade. Or am I wrong on that one too?:) Thanks for the LUT. Gonna check it out. cheers, Marty

Hallo Miraud, interesting catchy terms you´re giving- motivating further communication:) Poverty mostly comes from exploitation of one´s labor. Respect for the hardworking angry poor people of all ages! You were bold enough to leave that aspect out, so I guess it takes formal boldness to be leaving out up close in your face shots. There is no boldness just in filming people from close. It would be interesting enough to analyse Andrew´s piece regarding the formal, visual decisions have been taken by him. I think, it is a beautifully done little vignette about the daily ways of things, with sense for motif, combination and order of different framings and shotlengths. It´s an opptimistic outlook on the opportunity this place is providing, a stimulating poetic and also practical overview of different places and activities. Do you have other pieces within that running time providing this kind of overview, and that in a stimulating but also factual manner? Haven´t seen too many. Berlin is not an just okay city, it´s a beautiful as any place in world, when you don´t let it be stolen from you by people with money they´ve been steeling from the hardworking people they´ve been exploiting. Takes boldness to make a film about that in Germany, because there is not a large audience for it over here, so financial risk would be quiet a bit involved in that bold task. Would you like to share your pieces? Maybe I can understand your point of view a little bit better. (no irony intended) Cheers You are welcome sir! Have been inspired by your forum and your work quiet a bit. If you like assistance, I´m a man not shy of hard labor:) Loved your Bolex vid too, showing me a place where i pass by every day but having never been there- that´s what I meant by inspiring people to take opportunity. Opportunity- quiet an American paradigm we people cannot be pushed towards to enough! Thank you for that and that in a tasteful and appetizing manner!

Oh, wow! When I saw this piece I felt like it was such a unique way of showing Berlin- such a positive outlook on beautiful places showing opportunities of doing things and enjoying them. You know(at Miraud), Berlin can be such an exhausting place, full of people seeking their once in a lifetime opportunity of getting their piece of the boheme lifestyle piece of cake. I think Andrew´s video shows a very down to earth outlook onto the grounded beauty of things in Berlin. It´s a perspective hard to keep one´s focus on with all the hype and hystery and sale out all over the place. Thanks for this encouraging poetic piece of truthfulness. A lowkey, beautiful digital film revue of the beauty to hold on to in Berlin- the capital of the Capital (Das Kapital:), once the city of the people. By the way, the GH4 looks more and more appetizing- heck I love my G6- GH4 would be even more 8bit filming heaven!:) cheers.

​ Hallo Ed?!:) would you allow to watch your piece and provide the password? By the way, really digged your modelshoots and your differnt grading approaches to it. cheers, Martin

Hallo, The Roxsen/Camdiox example I just tested for m43- FD was not precisely enough manufactured. It almost did'nt come off the camera and lens almost did'nt come off neither. So it seems like it could be a gamble. Just don´t force your lens on to it like I did, rather do some light metal work on the boosters mount, so everything can fit.

Hallo Fuzzy, I assume, you´re considerations are about video, right? I did a 3min short with just one 28mm 2.8 FD lens last Sunday, with lighting, small beachtek soundpackage and so. I must say, the 28 did great! It has a very pleasing rendering to my eye. Handling and built is beautiful. It has only five aperture blades. To me Bokeh looks nice. The 50mm FD 1.4 has eight blades. With a focal reducer, I´d get the sturdiest one possible I think. The 50mm FD is a heavy sucker. I tested a Camdiox/Roxsen focal reducer a few days ago, and it was pretty loose on the m43 mount and weird enough it almost didnt come off the camera, neither did the lens. The FD ring is also kinda tricky I guess. best regards

Beautiful images and nice pace and rhythm. Very encouraging and inspiring piece. If any criticism makes sense, I´d say your film is loosing some pace a little bit from 1.29min to 1.47min, because sequence of images seems a little bit repetetive to me, also without clear motivation of montage- closing shot of it from 1.47min on is beautiful again though and well motivated. Also, I´d prefer smaller and higher placed subtitles, also not in Italics. By the way, what camera did you shoot with? Cheers and Thank you for inspiration!

Looking great. Saw a C100 M1 at the rental house. Man, is that thing a pretty looking one. Did you rent the Mark II? Started doing video again, my last time was when SVHS(C) was still the amateur guy´s, like me, mojo machine. Things have changed. It´s really worth it to walk the road and put some lights up. Watched your bowling vid with the GH4 when you posted it. Cool stuff! Affordable equipment paired with talent and ambition puts out some beautiful stuff. Thanks for showing!
