NIce first effort, vr. Slider or handheld? And was the moire in the wood grain visible in the original, or was that the YouTube compression?

Thanks,

First 5 minutes of Gami Orbegoso's Musgo posted on Vimeo. Thanks to Andrew Reid at eoshd for the heads-up. Some of the best work I've seen with the GH2 (or any DSLR form-factor camera).

Warning - not suitable for work.

@ brunerww

I used a combination of a DIY dolly (that you can see in my subjects sunglasses) and handheld with warp stabalizer in post with after effects. That thing is great

And yes the moire was in my original footage. Why is that and how do I eliminate it? I'm still pretty noob with th gh2... and film making for that matter.

No need to apologize for being a noob. You're light years ahead of where I was with a Super 8 camera in film school 30 years ago

The GH2 is a lot less subject to moire than Canon/Nikon/Sony DSLR/DSLT cameras, but it still has a hard time with narrowly spaced horizontal parallel lines (e.g., venetian blinds, wood grain).

Keep working on your technique, you have a good eye for cinema.

Thanks for the compliments guys. Reading you gh2 users older posts on this forum is the reason why I chose this neat little gizmo over the 60d.

@radicalkat
I built my dolly using this guy's video tutorial

Yes - the footage I've seen shot with Apocalypse Now is very impressive. It is the first hack that tempts me to modify my GH2

Awesome combination of a glassy smooth helicopter gimbal called the Zenmuse and a hacked GH2: https://vimeo.com/49940111

I shoot mostly everything with the GH2; it's a great cam.

I have a bunch more test videos on that account, trying out different lens / patch combinations with the GH2, if you want to see anything else.

Well done. My 2 cents- I think the demo reel would fare well with a slower smoother atmospheric track. This song has the kinetic energy that (I think) is not going with your (very well done) smooth slow shots and bokeh and other pretty things.

Please tell us the hack you used? Driftwood or Flomo?

Thank you, dude. Yeah I was thinking about change the music, but I kept with the same one of the last composition. This is an update, in fact.

I'm using Sedna AQ1 and Flowmotion 2.02. When I need more reliability, like a long interview, I go for Flowmotion, it gives me a security that Sedna sometimes not, since I'm a director too, so I take care of the two things and it can't fail while I'm not monitoring the lcd.

So Flowmotion is more reliable but Sedna Aq1 is best visually?
I mainly make narrative and was wondering which hack will give me best looking frames but also not be too insane on space.
I dont have a monitor so playback in camera is also a vital point for me..
