First wedding with GH2

Tim Akin · October 26th, 2011, 01:20 PM

Overall everything went pretty good using the GH2 for the first time. Other than a few out of focus shots, white balance way off and exposure not right I would call it a good day...... I have a lot to learn.

This teaser is a mix of FX1000 and GH2 footage. I'm not sure I encoded it right for internet veiwing, first time using 24p and I encoded with the same settings that I used on 30p. The thumbnail looks blured, never noticed that before.

Nice work Tim, great music, it makes the video. Got to get me a steadicam. Tell me about Exposure Room, are you happy with it? I like it's looks a lot better than Vimeo.

Thanks Jeff. Yeah I really like the GH2/Merlin combo. I could hold that rig all day, if the shots would just stay in focus dang it.

Tim,

What lens were you using on the GH2? The video quality is impressive.

Olympus 12mm all day long. It and the 20mm pancake are the only lens I had at the time. I just got the 45mm a few days ago. The 12mm looks great..... just to wide at times.

You can never be too rich, too thin or have a lens that is too wide:-)
