Family, mud and vertical lines

Family, Mud and vertical lines on Vimeo

My GH1 is back to the shop due to severe vertical lines but left us with nice memories after visiting the family during last weekend.

I was putting my professional cameraman hat aside and filmed like a father.
My aim was to use it like “home video” and not like a “film camera”. Editing is quick and dirty, and I am sure you will see the beauty and ugly footage this little camera can make.

Camera mode: creative, smooth. 1080/25 (if you survive watching it all, from 4:10 it is 720/50 uprezed to 1080).
Various shutter speeds with the intention to stay on 50 (my ND filter did not come in time)… + kit lens

Edited on Premiere CS2, footage was converted with Prospect 4k to AVI.
Contrast/brightness adjustment and reducing red color a bit.

For me this is a missed opportunity by Panasonic. It is so close yet so far away for being a perfect camera. I hope the vertical lines could be fixed by firmware update and more advanced work can be done with confidant.


Thanks.
