Lenses used - mainly the fantastic Samyang 35mm F1.4 wide open. Also Zeiss 45mm F2 rangefinder lens for Contax G, Zeiss 135mm F2.8 and Lumix 14mm pancake.

Music is Tears In Rain from the Bladerunner OST."

GH2k hack - 50mbp/s GOP 3

by BC Olejniczak

"First sequence of shots with the new GH2 patch. A low GOP of 3 was used for more of a "film-look". It's a little hand-held and shaky, but this is a perfect example of where the low-GOP motion really shines.

Shot with a Sigma 30mm 1.4 and Kipon adapter. Also, a CoolLights 600 Spot was used for the outdoor table shots as a key.

Also, 80% of these shots are ISO 1250 and above! This is insane!

Thanks again to VK, Kae, Butt, Ipowell, and all the testers that are making crazy progress on this camera!

Additional workflow info: Transcoding and import was done with the EOS Movie Plugin-E1. Yes, it works with the GH2 (even with the hack). It's very quick and reliable. I've never had an issue yet. Highly recommended.

The GH2 profile settings were "Dynamic" for the train stuff and "Smooth" for the rest. Both turned down all the way.

Grading was done in Final Cut 7 with the simple 3-way color corrector. "

Joe that footage is simply stunning. Looks great.

I ran off a quick test of 1080 24P 60Mb/s AVCHD. Download the original for a better visual.
