Very nice.

Question: which specific mode was used for this video? 1080p or 720p?

Hi Paul, thanks!
We used a hacked Lumix GH1 at 1080 24p non native AVCHD.
Did the pulldown with Neo4K (Cineform (http://www.cineform.com)), color correction with Firstlight (also Cineform) and the post with Premiero Pro2.

did you experience any bugs with the hack? I hear reports of vertical streaking and other issues. Your video looks GREAT.

Thanks Amos.
No vertical streaking, no crashes, no freezes... the hack just worked!
I even used some class 6 cards along with the Trascend class 10, and still no problems. I am guessing that the Zeiss´ low contrast and the shallow dof contributed to low detail scenes, so lower data rate.

Much appreciate the additional info! So, non-native 24p @1080. Outstanding!
