Lenses will always depend on what you want to shoot. As you said you want short films, in my personal opinion I recommend 3 lenses: - A vintage 50mm 1.4 from Canon FD/Minolta/Pentax. Anyone from these 3 will be awesome. - A wide angle and sharp lens like Panasonic Leica Summilux 25mm 1.4, which...

Yes, you can change the hack anytime you want, and even you can go back to the official firmware if you need assistance on guarantee, for example. The DOF is pretty good, and just depend on the lens. Take a look on my last video, that I made with a lot of light so even with the lens quite...

Hey dude, just for the case you decide to shoot it in a digital way, I remembered of filmconvert. It's a very good emulator which uses complex algorithms to convert the digital footage into a filmic look of different types of specific films, including black and white. If it help you, this is...

It's the easy part, hehe. You just need to choose which patch you want to use, upload to the camera card by usb connection, turn on and go to playback mode. The camera asks you to confirm the change, and in 2 minutes it's ready to use. Read this guide, is very simple and you get the first...

I agree with brunerww. I am very happy with the hacked GH2. You pay for a $700 camera that will perform like a much more expensive one. The only things that you have to be aware on this option are: - There is no reason to buy GH2 and use the official firmware. This is a gear to be hacked. If...

If your goal is low light, 1.4 lenses will match it better than 1.8. Edit: Not exactly under $100, but almost there. http://www.ebay.com/itm/CANON-FD-50mm-1-1-4-MANUAL-FOCUS-LENS-W-CAPS-MINT-/310504781059?pt=Camera_Lenses&hash=item484b86f503 This is a good lens. And any similar too. Pentax...

I have a GH2 too. I purchased an Isco 2x anamorphic, but unfortunately it still don't came due to slow customs clearance of my country.

Congratulations!! The first time you get your camera is a magical moment hehe. Enjoy! :)

I mean the anamorphic look can be one of the characteristics which can bring visual value to the film, not the only one or even the main. Yes you need all of this things we know that makes a good movie, but this things don't contradict the possibility of the anamorphic aspect bring value too...

I'm a lover of anamorphic aspect. But most people don't even imagine what it means. If you say "we will use anamorphic lenses", well it's not a useful information to your audience. I don't believe it will increase the "marketing value" just telling this idea in the crowdfunding project - even...

I don't know, but I really would not feel owned with a Red Epic in my hands, regardless of how much I had paid for it. :D

That's right! Sedna but not AQ1 anymore. Changed to AQ3, and increased the max bitrate to 177mbps. Well, most people says you don't get any difference above 154. But I don't believe, hehe.

Thanks dude. It's GH2.

I was hired to direct a TV show about mountaineering. This is a very first attempt, to get some confidence before start to shoot it for real. https://vimeo.com/54239511

I can't help, but why not a decent digital camera, and some hard work on post-production to make it look the way you need?

Thank you, Richy.

Another job shot on GH2. https://vimeo.com/54168807 Man, I really need a sharper lens hehe.

Bad actor? Maybe you just don't like him, what is very different from be a bad actor.

Probably a motorized slider.

A little help to the basics. Basic tasks independent from any questions - Which camera? - Which sound equipment? - Which editing software? Tasks based on questions - Camera with interchangeable lenses? --- Yes: which lens(es)? --- No: okay. - There are low light scenes? --- Yes: think about a...
