Re: A little more about polarizers
Other than the stunning video quality, this is my favorite thing about using the GH1. When shooting a wedding, I snap some stills that I use for DVD packaging artwork -- it sure beats having to...

Re: Age vs Experience
I shot my first wedding when I was 17 -- on an SVHS camera as a favor for a relative whose photography business was expanding to include video. I've been shooting in one form or another since then...

Re: A little more about polarizers
Polarizers are my all-time favorite filters. Every time I get a lens with a new thread size, the first thing I do is get a polarizer for it.

Re: Unusual setup for Speeches
It's definitely a different story when there are no lights to work with! :)
What a tough balance this is -- to preserve the atmosphere the clients wish to create, yet provide them with great video.

Re: Unusual setup for Speeches
I've only recently come to terms with this. I used to use powerful on-camera lighting, but have come to believe that I am disrupting the atmosphere created. As a documentary-style videographer, I...

Re: 2nd Camera placement
I'm considering trying out the Magic Arm, and clamping it onto something just above head-level -- a door frame, etc. That way, it's just above everyone when they stand up, and it eliminates the...

Re: 2nd Camera placement
This is why I go to the rehearsal -- I get it all figured out there, and even shoot some test footage. Then on the day of the wedding I know exactly where everything will be set up.

Re: gh2 came in
The 20mm is a must-have. The problem is that they're all backordered right now, with no end in sight. I managed to find one on Ebay for $450 with free shipping . . . I figured the extra $50 was worth...

Re: Music speed for music video.
Primus did this effect for their "Shake Hands with Beef" music video. They recorded the video with the music slowed way down, then sped it up to normal speed in post. Great effect.

Re: Voigtländer Nokton 25mm f/0.95 lens price !
Wow, things really are bad. I was just looking today to buy a 20mm pancake for the GH1, and can't find a reasonable one anywhere. I thought maybe it was just your usual Panasonic supply problem, but...

Re: GH2 Very shoppy
That could be the problem -- the DSLR sequences are all for progressive frames, and expect h.264 encoding in a MOV container.
Try to put the GH2's MTS files into the appropriate AVCHD sequence in...

Well, for today's wedding, I'm going to use the other GH1 -- the newer, unhackable one -- just to play it safe.
