Update Doh! Now that I know the band is there, I went back over my previous footage and I can see the band in most footage that's got shadow in it!! It mostly appears as a dark band. Looks like the only solution if I continue with this camera and keep to 24p 1/50 is to remove the band with...

yellow band I've seen these on Vimeo: http://vimeo.com/17281822 http://vimeo.com/18504250 Which I'm interpreting as meaning that in low light if you force the shutter speed to be 1/50 then tough, you will get a yellow band across your footage. Hence the only answer I can see is that in low...

I am having strange yellow bands in my footage from my GH2 camera: link I get a lot more yellow bands when I'm inside but I presumed that was just from fluorescent lighting. But this was shot in the day time with just the sun lighting it. I also did a pixel refresh (inside the house if this...

OK, so for any GH2 techies, can you suggest the best hack for a GH2. Currently I have a 30Mb/s 32GB sd card. So I'll be limited by the hacks I can use. I may get a 45Mb/s SD card shortly. As a benchmark quick calculation tells me that at 24bit colors and 1080x1920 at 24fps the raw data is 142...

Nice to see what can be acheived! Just put the number i.e. MHlEgx5j7-s between the YT tags.

I was wondering how the "cheap" £200 camcorders can have 40-60x optical zoom whereas a DSLR doesn't have much of a zoom unless you buy a very expensive zoom lens? (Basically I'm looking for reassurance that my £600 HD DSLR was worth the money :lol:)

Hi I've done another screen test on my GH2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GAp2gPfTeCg The details of what I used are in the description. As you can see the colours aren't exactly great but I'm still learning. I didn't try to correct them either. Any advice welcome! :yes:

Well thats not very good! :no:

Hi, we're getting a sound guy to record the audio for our film. Generally how do you go about getting the audio from the sound guy? Do you usually carry a laptop around and copy all the sounds or get them to send the sounds over the internet? What's your prefered method?

I think I'll leave the hacks until I know a bit more. But eventually they seem like a good idea to get better video. And sound I'll probably do with another device. Although I've heard you can't play some of the clips back on the camera if you use hacks. Another question: The handshake reducing...

OK. Thanks for that. I've been reading all about it. I think because I had it on auto mode it is setting the shutter speed to slow to let more light in. So I can either set the shutter speed manually or light the scene more to get rid of the blurring. I think it's more important to prevent...

Hi I've got my new GH2 camera so I did a bit of a screen test with it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ck6GNk14ajA I am using cinema 1080 24p mode. No extra lighting just from the light bulb. Can you give any tips? I notice the screen goes darker when I zoom in. Is this because there isn't...

Well I've got my GH2. I now need to buy an SD Card cos it didn't come with one. Also the battery only seems to last about an hour or two. So all in all not a great start. I'm slightly suspicious now that these GH2 advocates aren't on the Panasonic payroll. :P

If you're shooting outside where do you think the best position for the sun is? (Not that you can move the sun). A) Behind as a backlight and then light the faces with other lights? B) To the side as a spotlight? C) In front as a filler light? Might it also depend on how bright the sun is...

So in terms of brightness they could be really good but just need to diffuse the light somehow...

I'm going to use tumblr and google docs for now. Here is my blog octoshark.tumblr.com It's at it's early stages! ;) Has anyone else got examples of their filmmaking blogs?

Well I've just ordered the GH2 because of advice from this forum and videos on youtube. So it better be good! I've not heard much bad about this camera so I'm fairlycondident!

So I want to get some lighting thats portable and powerful and rechargeable. So I'm looking into touches as lighting sources. Such as this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Rechargeable-Spotlight-000-Candle-Power/dp/B000ROF2UC/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1347705386&sr=8-2 Do you reckon this would work? I...

So if it was just a bunch of guys and gals who agree to work together and share any profits (if any!!) what would be a good profit share for each actor. 5% 10% 20%? Say there were about 2 lead characters 3-4 main characters and 6-7 extras Also would some actors be satisfied with some...

I'm trying to think of a good place to hold auditions/do rehersals. I live in Brighton, England if that's any help. I've looked at reharsal rooms which you can hire for about £10 per hour but mainly they are for bands so they won't have much room especially as they usually have a drum kit in the...
