Re: Lumix 20mm Pancake Lens Problem
I'm still troubleshooting this. I've spoken with some photographers, and visited my local camera shop to talk to the boys about this issue. None of them seem to have any idea about what is going on,...

Re: Shooting Only - Clients Edit
Exactly -- if I knew that I was handing over all my raw footage, I would shoot very differently. If I'm editing it, I shoot in such a way as to make editing easier for ME, knowing that most of what I...

Re: New Cam
I second the recommendation for the HMC40. I use two of them at weddings, and they're great.

Re: My wedding film
I'll echo Colin's comments. I was pretty confused throughout the clip, it seemed to jump back and forth in time a lot and not really tell a story.
There were some great shots, and there were some...

Re: Wedding Client Sites
I would avoid Flash. If the couple wants to bring it up on their iPhone or iPad, they won't see anything. Plus it'll load much faster if you use plain old HTML and CSS.

Re: How to shoot a wedding with the GH2/GH1
True. I should probably have said that I'm using the GH1 mostly at the reception because of its low-light capabilities with the right lenses. In those run-and-gun situations where I don't have the...

Re: cross-border weddings. hassles?
I turned down a Canadian wedding for this very reason. I don't want to have to sneak across the border to work illegally, and worry about whether I get caught. I don't need work THAT badly, that I...

Re: How to shoot a wedding with the GH2/GH1
In the wedding I did this past weekend, I shot fully manual with the GH1 -- Creative Movie Mode in manual, and manual focus. It's a lot more work, but the results are far better than the last few...

Re: Too many videographers?

Lumix 20mm Pancake Lens Problem
I shot a wedding yesterday, and was excited because I knew the reception location is notoriously dark and I'm using the 20mm pancake lens on my GH1. However, the lens suddenly decided to stop...

Re: Another question on an AE effect.
I would guess that it's just another layer -- either an animated gradient or some sort of rainbow-like generated lighting layer -- placed on top of the footage over the transition. Looks like they...

Re: 2nd Camera placement
I just used the Magic Arm at a wedding, and it was a Godsend. The wedding took place at a very small, cramped outdoors venue. There was nowhere to set up a tripod for a nice wide shot. But there was...

Re: Too many videographers?
Unless it's absolutely necessary, I very much prefer to work alone. Part of the reason is the unobtrusive nature I wish to uphold. I know the benefits of multiple angles, but a good videographer...

Re: 20mm 1.7 vs 14mm 2.5
Agreed! I just had my first shoot with the 20mm, and was fighting with the autofocus the entire evening. It's a beautiful lens otherwise.
Plus, I was getting some strange glares with the lens --...
