Do you have a gh2? I can't decide which would be better for the gh2 plus slr magic plus monitor- should I go HD1000 or HD2000?

Ok so I have a cheap stabliizer but it shakes too much and isn't smooth when I walk. I have been looking into steadicams and I want to purchase one (under $500 if possible). I have a gh2 which is a light camera and then various lenses, from canon fd to slr magic. So I was looking into the...

Ok thanks

So I know this heavily discussed but is the only time that you should use 60fps is when you are doing slow motion? I use 24fps only- I have a gh2 but sometimes when I have shots that move across the room (like in a documentary) sometimes the people come out blurry.. should I have used 60fps...

Thanks everyone for the help. "I'm guessing these lights are more so for noobs like me and should serve their purpose up until you're serious about throwing 2-3k down for a light kit. I shoot 2-3 min sketches. Of those three do you still recommend the one you initially linked from Amazon? " I...

Ok thanks everyone for the help. I am getting a better understanding of LED lights now... It seems that LED's aren't worth investing in unless you invest a lot... I definitely can't afford those $2,500, but I mean would something like these even be worth it...

I got you... so if these won't be my "main" lighting source, what would you guys recommend for a good starter kit of lights for a shoot? As far as LED lights.

As far as LED lights, What can you recommend? I have been looking at these http://www.ebay.com/itm/4X-96-LED-Video-Light-for-DV-Camcorder-HDV-Z96-F135-/300546751509?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item45f9fb7c15 I am deciding between something like those or something that I would have on a stand...

Auto white balance is the only AUTO part that I use. I don't know how to white balance, can someone point me to a good read or video on the subject. Or if you could explain yourself. Thanks.

Also, would this be good for video or just photography? I'm willing to spend more if there is something to better put my money towards.

Interesting that is real cheap. So do you not use auto white balance? Any other words on it?

I am looking into investing in a light set for my future film shoots. I haven't used many lights in the past,( a couple times with LED lights), but I think its necessary for the stuff I am trying to shoot. I will be shooting a TV show this spring and also a short film coming up. I enjoy low...

sorry i'm trying to upload the footage but im having trouble. Will be shortly.

Im new to color correcting my video and I want to learn. I have watched a few videos on how to correct with FInal Cut Pro x but I am more concerned with how to address my image. I know the controls, but i don't know what to do with them. I don't think my eyes see well enough to know when...

Is it really worth it to go with the cine version? I found a Bower 24mm 1.4 on ebay for 550$ but its not the CINE version and I may go with it.

Thanks Escher, but I think its a LITTLE out of my range. I would defintely want to go Zeiss too. Anything in the 24mm range? I am trying to stay in this budget of $1,000 as a test with my company. Also I think a 35mm on the gh2 sensor crop will be almost a close up lens, so i think 20-25mm is...

Ok it seems that around 24mm will be the best focal length- Would the Samyang 35mm 1.4 compare to a canon L series lens (quality wise)? Its a lot cheaper so I would definitely consider one (I don't need autofocus). Is there a 25mm that rokinon/samyang make? And the 17.5 is interesting, I...

Noted about the brands... The 12mm definitely doesn't feel as a medium shot. It feels real wide so I'm thinking a 24/25mm. If you were to suggest a lens to be used on a professional film set, a single camera comedy show like 30 rock or The Office, which one would it be? Keep in mind the gh2...

I plan on shooting a couple documentaries and also short films. I already have a 12mm and a 50mm, but I still need my primary medium shot (not wide or close up). Is there a specific focal length that I should consider with my gh2 having a 1.9x sensor crop (i think) ? And should I stick with the...

I should of been more clear: my 24mm is a canon fd f2.8 and I feel its not great in low light and also its not the look I am going for. I would consider selling it once I got another lens But investing in a set of primes is a good idea. I'm just wondering how a canon L lens compares to something...
