<span style="background-color: white; color: #212124; font-family: 'Proxima Nova', 'helvetica neue', helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;">This past weekend nieces needed a few new headshots and bodyshots. Seems like they need them more often since the grow so fast! Here's an old post at the same park about 4 years ago using my old school Canon point and shoot where I learned how to shoot manual. </span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #212124; font-family: 'Proxima Nova', 'helvetica neue', helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #212124; font-family: 'Proxima Nova', 'helvetica neue', helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;">"Thanks. I used the SLR Magic 35mm T1.4. It's used more for video but works well as a still portrait lens. I used a Tiffen .9 ND filter on it but may need a variable ND filter since my aperture was around 2.8 - 4.0 in this shot. I wanted it 1.4 - 2.8 instead. Thinking of getting an auto focus prime like the Oly 45 or the Panasonic since I miss focus sometimes with the manual SLR lens. </span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #212124; font-family: 'Proxima Nova', 'helvetica neue', helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #212124; font-family: 'Proxima Nova', 'helvetica neue', helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;">I have the Nissin Di466 micro four thirds flash off camera using a cheap Neewer TTL cable. I had my camera on a tripod and just hand held the flash above my head, camera right. For the future, I'll use my light stand but I need to get a swivel/tilt flash bracket so I can angle the flash when its mounted on the light stand.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #212124; font-family: 'Proxima Nova', 'helvetica neue', helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #212124; font-family: 'Proxima Nova', 'helvetica neue', helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;">In camera, I used Standard Profile and shot JPG. I may shoot RAW once my color correcting/grading gets better but for now JPG is fine. Also, it saves time by not converting to DNG. I've editing RAW in the past but I didn't see much difference assuming exposure was already good.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #212124; font-family: 'Proxima Nova', 'helvetica neue', helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #212124; font-family: 'Proxima Nova', 'helvetica neue', helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;">I use Adobe Bridge and begin a few edits using Camera Raw which is built into Adobe Bridge. I haven't used Lightroom but it's similar. Since out of camera my images are a bit washed out (due to the cheap ND I assume) I adjust a few sliders. I adjusted the exposure a bit, then the Blacks and the contrast if needed. I also crop using Camera Raw and could have used the Adjustment Brush tool in this image to lower background exposure to better match the exposure of the subject but decided not to. I may in other images if the exposure difference is too distracting. Then Camera Raw opens up Adobe Photoshop where make just a few more edits. </span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #212124; font-family: 'Proxima Nova', 'helvetica neue', helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #212124; font-family: 'Proxima Nova', 'helvetica neue', helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;">I normally use Auto Levels to correct skin tones but if it seems off, I'll go back and adjust the RGB channels manually to my liking. Then I adjust sharpness using Unsharp Mask. I use this just enough to make it a bit sharper around the eyes. That's kinda my workflow in a nutshell. I could have just used Photoshop by itself but it seems quicker to do a few minor things in Camera Raw and finish up in Photoshop. I hope this is helpful!"</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #212124; font-family: 'Proxima Nova', 'helvetica neue', helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;">I hope to post more blogs often even if it's just for reference. </span><br />

Tons of nice rides and very peaceful partly since the law was there lol.<br />
<br />
I was able to bring my crane and was a bit surprised it easily fit in my cousin's E55 AMG trunk. I wasn't able to take as much pics but I got some cool video shots.<br />
<br />
Next year, maybe hope to tag along at a caravan and start shooting before arriving at the spot. Also I want to do some interviews at next year's event if peeps aren't camera shy!<br />
<br />
here's some pix/vid<br />

Yesterday we shot more portraits of my friend's kid. I used his Sony NEX-3 again with the Sony 50mm 1.8 this time at the Japanese Gardens in Hayward, CA. The lighting conditions were great but we had to compete with the many wedding entourages that decided to take pictures here as well. I can't blame them since it's a great spot for photos. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Even though it can be very challenging shooting kids, I was able to get some good images. I'm a bit more familiar with the Sony NEX interface now that it doesn't slow me down much as I switch modes. One luxury that I missed is the touch to focus feature on my Panasonic GF2. I'm sure the newer NEX models have a touch to focus feature but is not available with the older NEX 3n. If I were to use the 3n again, I'd practice focusing manually. It seems it would be easy since the LCD is high rez. </div>

A more detailed review will come in the next days. I'm tired lol.<br />
<br />
At the end of August, B & H was selling the Bower 7.5mm F3.5 Fish Eye lens for Micro Four Thirds for 199. Normally it would cost around the 250 range or the Rokinon/Samyang version (same lenses under different brand names) would cost 299. I jumped on it and finally received it today. <br />
<br />
Pictured are a few shots from our BJJ tournament. I shot a ton of interviews that will be posted within the week.<br />

Depending on the lighting situation I'll keep it wide open at F3.5 under low light conditions and in bright light try to keep it around F8 - F11. </div>

I really like how the look of the distortion and can't wait to shoot video with it as well. Me and the Bower Fish Eye will be getting along just nicely!</div>

Went to go crabbing in the city. The first spot closed early so we went to Crissy Field which doesn't close I think. </div>

There was a good amount of people. Many brought their portable chairs, a cooler filled with drinks and whatever else to make the cold weather more enjoyable. We on the other hand went bare bones with just our nets and flash lights. </div>

I was able to get some good shots of the Golden Gate bridge. We caught a few crabs then released them back into the water. The highlight of the night was when someone caught a leopard shark!</div>

We were back at it again this weekend. This time we were a bit more prepared. We had lights, chairs, and fishing poles to go along with our nets. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We didn't catch anything spectacular but we caught a good amount of crabs. The nets yielded the best results with chicken and a bit of dried fish as bait. The fishing rods worked well also but a bit harder to get the technique down. </div>

<br />
This week I received the Glide Gear slider and a ball head with a release plate from Amazon. Although I had created one of those DIY dolly slider on wheels(much thanks to The Frugal Filmmaker on YouTube), there was too much slack that created some wobble in my footage. It worked well enough on smooth surfaces but I needed something a bit more versatile so I chose the aforementioned combo.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<object height="315" width="560"><param name="movie" value="//www.youtube.com/v/-tIxyq0XkiA?version=3&hl=en_US"></param>

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
DIY Dolly worked well but if you check closely, there was a good mount of wobble and this was my best take. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The DMKFoto ball head with release plate attaches to the Glide Gear base plate without any adapters. After running some tests, I'm satisfied with the results. I get much cleaner shots but there is still a tiny amount of slack that will cause wobble. It will take a bit more practice and extra takes to make sure you get a smooth shot. Example below:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<object height="315" width="560"><param name="movie" value="//www.youtube.com/v/k9ykDUEWcd4?version=3&hl=en_US"></param>
<param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param>
<param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param>
<embed src="//www.youtube.com/v/k9ykDUEWcd4?version=3&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="560" height="315" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object><br />
<br />
The clips with the dog is with the Sony HDR SR-11 that has optical image stabilization and the latter shots were with the GF2 with 20mm f1.7 that has no stabilization.<br />
<br />
The Glide Gear slider is cheap but well built. I've heard it's self lubricating but I can imagine after a ton of use, spraying it with WD 40 from time to time won't hurt.<br />
<br />
The thread in the center will fit the standard release plate so you can add a tripod. I was planning on adding a tripod on each end but the threading at each end was much larger than the threading in the middle. Also, when I did attach my tripod in the middle, my tripod release plate had a bit of slack making it difficult to get good sliding shots. I then attached the slider to a light stand and it became more manageable. Most of the sliding shots will be low any way and the shots where I need some elevation, I wouldn't need to slide too much either so no worries.<br />
<br />
I can't wait to use it on future projects. Particularly, I wanna replicate many of the tripod panning and tilting shots as well as the low sliding shots in this car video. It doesn't seem difficult to do. Hopefully, I can try that out soon.<br />
<br />

About a month ago, my Jiu Jitsu instructor asked me if I was interested in shooting a yoga DVD for his wife who's an excellent yoga instructor. I didn't hesitate and started preparing immediately. We could have shot much earlier but I had some issues with my lighting, particularly my new halogen soft box light kit malfunctioned (had to replace the switch). <br />
<br />
The shoot lasted just under 3 hours which was a delight. I thought it would be at least 4 and not including the voice overs. I'll discuss my lighting and camera setup and other interesting notes if anyone else plans to shoot something similar. I should have snapped a photo with my phone to better explain but I forgot.<br />

The soft box(main light) was camera right in this shot. It was about 12 feet away from the talent and stood about 8 feet from the ground and tilted down at the talent. Camera left was my work light(fill light). It was about 10 feet from the talent and with 1 sheet of parchment paper on a c-47(wooden clothes pin) to act as diffusion to soften the light. The clamp light(background light) was camera right, behind the talent just off camera, directed at the little Buddha statues. Further behind the talent camera right was my LED to act as a kicker. It stood on a make shift light stand made of PVC similar to this person's set up.<br />

In retrospect, the only thing I would modify is to move the work light a couple feet close to the subject. For a future shoot, I might use a 500 watt work light as a fill than a 250 watt under similar conditions. If I shot in a smaller room, I'd change my light set up to run much cooler with a shit ton of CFL's instead since the halogens run super hot. </div>

My Panasonic GF2 with the SLR Magic 35mm T1.4 was directly in front of the subject. I kept the aperture around T2.8. It's difficult to dial in the focus on that lens with the GF2. It will be much easier when I get the Lumix G6 with focus peaking while magnified. My "B" camera was camera right of the GF2 but to the left of the soft box. The GF2 was in a fixed position using those baby tripods that sat on top of a box. The awesome "B" camera was the Sony Handycam HDR SR-11 on my cheap yet effective Targus fluid head tripod. </div>

Things to note before the first day of shooting: Right down lists of what you need to bring. A list for lighting gear like light stands, modifiers, the light itself, etc. Same for camera gear, audio gear, and misc. I'm glad I brought enough stingers(ext. cords) or I would have been fucked ha. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Other things worth mentioning: Make sure the room noise is very quiet while recording audio. Even with a music track behind the audio, at times, you may hear cars passing by which is hard to eliminate or reduce in post, for me for that matter. Also make to recharge or have extra batteries on hand as well as extra bulbs in case any blow out. </div>

All in all, I had fun shooting the DVD. The editing portion was a bit more difficult since color correction is not my forte but I'm getting better. I don't have any crazy DVD software so I used a simple one that's included in my file converter called AVS Video Converter 8. The interface is simple and gets the job done. </div>

A friend asked if I was free Saturday just to pop off some portraits, nothing too crazy, just a few shots of his family. They decided to shoot at some hills close by and after scouting the location it was a no go. The background wasn't great and it was super windy.<br />
<br />
I then suggested to shoot at a small park nearby that had a gazebo. That place ended up working a lot better for us. Even though I brought my Panasonic GF2, Panny 20mm 1.7 SLR Magic 35mm 1.4, my friend's Sony NEX 3 with his 50mm 1.8 worked out best for this particular situation.<br />
<br />
My 20mm 1.7 shot wide open can give you very good shallow depth of field but not ideal for portraits. It will distort and even if you shoot a small group wide open it will not give you the shallow depth of field needed, for my satisfaction at least. Maybe if I had an ND filter for the 20mm and used some light modifiers I could have made things work but alas it wasn't a hardcore photo shoot...which I don't mind doing now since it will up my technique. I also rationalize things by saying I'm mostly a video shooter or I don't have so n so equipment..<br />
<br />
My 2nd option was my 35mm 1.4 which is a 70mm 35mm equivalent with the x2 crop factor for micro four thirds. This will get me the shallow DOF I need but since there were time constraints and a child that won't sit still, it would be very difficult for me to get the focus correct with the manual SLR Magic lens on my GF2(This would be no problem if I had the new Panasonic G6's focus peaking).<br />
<br />
It was a good thing I told my friend to bring his camera or it would have been real rough just to get a handful of usable shots. I wasn't as efficient navigating through the Sony interface but I managed. Since the 50mm(75mm equivalent) is a long enough focal length for good portraits, I was able to get the shallow DOF I wanted and I didn't need to be fully wide open which allowed me to get sharper image in the center as well.<br />
<br />
Overall, I was impressed with the old NEX 3n with the 50mm 1.8. I liked the sharp LCD and the quick enough auto focus. For a 300 dollar lens, I think it's a must have lens for portraits for any Sony NEX shooters if you are going to stick to native E mount lenses.<br />
<br />
After I get the Lumix G6, that cheap but awesome Sigma 60mm 2.8 and a flash I can shoot off camera are next on my list. By then, I'd have the tools that would suit most situations.<br />

The only bummer was that there were no fireworks. They saved the fireworks for Friday and Saturday.<br />
<br />
The last time I was at Great America was when it used to be owned by Paramount in the 90s until mid 2000. Not much has changed except for a few new rides and some of the same rides have different names since the ownership change. The Top Gun ride is now known as Flight Deck. Even though it's a suckier name, the ride itself is still one of the better rides. The latest ride is called Gold Striker. It't the fasted wooden coaster. We rode that first. <br />
<br />
We just rode those two rides and the rest of the time we spent eating and playing games. I had to play the game where the worker guesses your age, weight or month of birth. I chose the age. Let's just say I won. Now Mooby has a new stuffed animal to gnaw on.<br />
<br />
For the longest time we where checking out the ladder climb game. For sure you have to do some counter balancing. The worker guy makes it look so simple. None of us tried but we should have just to capture video of one of us failing.<br />
<br />
If I was 16 again, I'd be all over this place with a season pass n what not... Overall good times that brought back some memories.<br />

Our academy threw another great tournament this past weekend. We had around 500 competitors that competed in Gi and NoGi.<br />
<br />
I had fun shooting the matches. I shot with my GF2 and the SLR Magic 35mm 1.4. I can't wait till the Panasonic G6 comes out. I'll have that as my main body.<br />
<br />
I chose to use my manual lens for most of the shots because of the focal length ( I didn't want to get close enough to bother the competitors with my wide auto focus lens). A fast zoom lens with quick auto focus is typically better for these types of situations. I had a few miss focuses and some not intended motion blurred shots but most were good and got the job done.<br />
<br />
After I get a good wide angle lens, a nice zoom lens would be great, preferably that expensive 12-35mm f28 constant aperture that Panasonic has.<br />
<br />
I was able to get over 200 photos for this event. For future reference, I don't mind people using my photos but I'll start watermarking them as I shoot more of these types of events.<br />
<br />
<br />
Here's a few of the images. Full set of images here: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/apgfoo/sets/72157634053608815/">http://www.flickr.com/photos/apgfoo/sets/72157634053608815/</a><br />

I didn't do much video for the tournament. It's very difficult to shoot a ton of stills and get a ton of video at the same time. It can be done but I think once I get a bit more efficient I'd have an easier time. </div>

The long haired gentleman named Wen has been working on his short film that will premiere the last day of his class this Saturday May 25th. This first set of pictures are from his 1st day of shooting. Things went well. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Wen and his group of friends are very ambitious in their film making interests. Expect to see more projects from them in the future. Most likely another project this summer before Wen heads to Cal State Long Beach for the Fall. </div>

Me going back to the shaved head look(thank the almost summer heat for that). I play a bad guy in Wen's film and I have a line. Although I can't make it to the premiere, I hope to catch his flick before then to see my little acting debut lol. </div>

For Francheska's 8th birthday, she had a cowgirl themed party at the house. Themed parties are awesome. I haven't been to many when I was younger but it's a great way to have fun and play dress up.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The kids had a ton of activities like a scavenger hunt, potato sack races, and a pin the moustache on Cheska game going on and of course with lots of prizes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It was a bit windy that day as it has been almost all week but that didn't stop anyone from enjoying the sun and hanging out.</div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
Side Notes:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Lighting was inconsistent which made it difficult to set my exposure each time before recording. Especially difficult since the GF2 doesn't have manual ISO in video which also accounts for slight flicker in some shots. Used a fixed ND filter outdoors with the SLR Magic 35mm 1.4 in order to keep aperture wide in bright conditions. A variable ND filter would have suited much better in this situations.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Focusing was a lot easier this time around with the SLR Magic since I've been using it for a while now. Even the slight focus hunting I do is smooth and natural looking. My hand held pan shots are smoother now as well. No jarring movements. all shots were hand held </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">I was going to use my Zoom H1 for sound but it would have been tedious to sync audio manually. I'm thinking of getting PluralEyes to make it less daunting and so I'd be more apt to use the external recorder. Nonetheless, the in cam stereo mic was solid. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">I had a few stuttering cuts in the vid but not sure exactly why. Possibly due to too many effects in a clip or maybe the video format I used to edit. We'll see. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">I didn't really need titling for this video but for future reference, I gotta play around with creating cooler titles. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">I didn't adjust color. All I did was use RGB curves to make highlights brighter n low lights darker a bit. Also I'll try to get my hands on Magic Bullet Looks or Colorista so I'd be more inclined to color correct/grade.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">2 things on my wishlist is a good 12mm and a 2nd body so I can permanently affix my 20mm onto my GF2 and another lens like the SLR Magic onto a GH3 or possibly a GX2 whenever that will be out. This will allow for quicker and more efficient shooting.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">All in all, fun video to edit. </span><br />

Even though I've taken a couple video editing courses, we didn't spend too much time on color correction and color grading. What time like the present to learn how to do it on my own. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
On YouTube I'm subscribe to http://www.youtube.com/user/OliviaTechVideos. One of her videos asks her viewers to color grade a video clip so I decided to try it out. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I watched a couple YouTube tutorials on color correcting using RGB curves and started playing with color on Premiere CS6. I've never used it till today and it's awesome. I've edited in the past with PowerDirector(limited at color correction) at home and FCP 7 and 10 in school. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
My grading turned out how I like it, with the blacks super crushed. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
After getting more familiar with the Premiere interface, I gotta work on my cousin's GoPro clips that he took while he was on vacation!</div>

Took some pics of Evelyn. She's really adorable. She had enough energy to stay past midnight!<br />

It was an intense semester long class but very rewarding. Over the weekend we premiered everyone's films in front of our class, the acting class, anyone we wanted to invite and some judges from different parts of the industry that our instructor has worked with.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The night before the premiere I was editing it like a mad man and I'm really glad that I was satisfied with the final product, even with all it's flaws. I'll discuss those flaws at length another time but for a first film, it surpassed my expectations. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
My film received the audience choice for favorite film and also won an award called "Pitch Potential Project" which basically means that out of all the films, my film was chosen for it's potential to be something that can be made into a feature film. It doesn't necessarily mean it had the best cinematography or best art design or best whatever but something about that film is worth expanding on. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I'll create a follow up post in the future talking about my experiences from beginning to end about creating the short film. Also in that post I'll criticize it to hell lol, mainly for my reference so I won't make the same mistakes twice!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
As of now, the class is almost already filled for next term and I'm still deciding if I can go through it again. I gotta decide quick, we'll see!</div>
<div>

Alas the film!</div>

Here's an email I sent to a fellow classmate in our film production class regarding mirrorless cameras, specifically the GF2 that I use. I ended up writing at length since he may be in the market for a new camera system. I hope it can help others out there decide if they want to go to the M4/3 route. Shoot me a message or comment on this post for any questions!<br />

I'm using the Panasonic Lumix GF2 with the Panasonic Lumix 20mm F1.7. The system isn't exactly DSLR but it's referred to as mirrorless cameras or specifically Micro Four Thirds since there are other mirrorless cameras that have sensors that are bigger and smaller than the micro four thirds size. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
It's a relatively new system that's been out since I think the end of 2008 and gaining more popularity due to its compact size but increasing image/video quality. The 2 companies that have Micro Four Thirds systems are Panasonic and Olympus. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
If you own any brand Micro Four Thirds lenses, they work on all Micro Four Thirds bodies whether its Olympus or Panasonic. Olympus and Panasonic have their own lenses and are creating more higher end but also more expensive lenses. 3rd party companies are also making Micro Four Thirds lenses which gives the m4/3 users a ton of lens options. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Other companies are trying to compete with the M4/3 systems, mainly Canon and Nikon. They have their own versions of high quality compact cameras but their models are in the beginning stages and aren't as great compared to the M4/3 systems. I can get into why some other time lol!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
One of the main plus sides of going to the M4/3 route is that it's a great hybrid camera, meaning great for shooting video and stills at the same time and the while being super compact. But what matters most is what you want to use it for. Me for example, I like how its compact and I take it with me daily. If I had a bulkier DSLR, I'd only carry it on me when I know I'm going to use it. Since I like taking photos or vids on the fly or candidly, the GF2 is great because I'm already carrying it and is super low profile. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
M4/3 are creating more professional camera bodies. The workhorse as of late is the Panasonic GH2. It's a great model for film making and stills. For film making, it has the 24 fps that cinema cameras use. Also it handles low light very well and has a LCD screen that can flip out. There's much more to it but you can google it if you're interested. Right now it is becoming more affordable because it's been out for about 2 years or so and the GH3 just came out within this month. The camera body is not as low profile but the body is much smaller than traditional Micro 4/3 systems. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
One of the things that I was mentioning about the downfalls of the GF2 is it's manual controls in video mode, it doesn't have much. I can adjust the format(resolution and fps) and shutter speed but not the aperture and ISO settings, those two are automatic. Shooting video in low light isn't so much an option(which is why the GH2 is a very tempting camera for me in the near future but we'll see!). </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
The GF2 has been out for a while and is still a great camera but the newer versions that are out there are better. What I like about the GF2 though is that it has a hot shoe mount so I can place my shock mount on top when I place my audio recorder on top for external audio. Also if I don't use my Zoom H1, the in camera mic records in stereo(GF3 is in mono but I think the GF5 brought stereo back.) The hot shoe mount can also be used with an external viewfinder and also an external flash I think. The GF3 and GF5 no longer have the hot shoe mounts. The only ones are the GF1, GF2, the G and GH series. Most users don't use it anyway but it's always good to have that option though.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Another knock on the GF2 in regards to film making is that the LCD screen resolution is something like 460K dots or something along those lines. It makes it difficult to see if I'm really in focus but in manual mode, the LCD will zoom in then you can manually focus then zoom back out. I just started doing that for our films and it works well but I'd also like to have a higher rez LCD anyway and the GF5's LCD is at 920K dot display.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
The cool thing about the Olympus M4/3 cameras is that many if not all, not sure I have to look it up...have image stabilization built in the body and Panasonic doesn't. Not sure if the GH2 or GH3 have it built in, I have to look that up later. Also the older and lower end Panasonic lenses don't have image stabilization. This doesn't mean much to me from a still pictures point of view but means a lot from a film making perspective. It's kind of the reason why my camera movement when shooting the short film was mainly fixed and little panning with a tripod and the stuff I did with the dolly. I did some hand held during my shoot because the shots were static and it's easier to get close up without the tripod. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Another thing about the GF2 is the autofocus. It works well but it does focus hunt a lot and that's not great for video. I had to do some pull/rack focusing in manual mode during my shoot but had a difficult time figuring out if I was in focus since my screen rez isn't high and the sun reflected off of the LCD screen. An optical viewfinder would work better in those type of situations or that monitor that Carlos let Christian use for Megan's shoot!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
If you are going to go with the M4/3 route then I'd pic the workhorse lens of the M4/3 world is the Lumix 20mm F1.7 which costs about 350 or so which is pretty pricey but it's the reason why I have some pleasing video. With camera bodies, it will depend. If you don't need a hot shoe mount but want something compact then I'd say the new GF5 for stills and video(sans low light shooting). I'd also recommend the GH2(can be hacked to give it a much higher video bitrate). It's an older model now since the GH3 came out but many indie shooters still use it and will still be relevant for years to come. If money is not an issue then I'd go with the GH3. It can shoot stills and video in almost all situations. There are many videos on Vimeo that compare it to other cinema cameras and the Canon Mark III. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
You can also go the Olympus route but I haven't delved into their camera bodies much since my eye are very much set on one of the GH models. The EM-5 and the PEN models are great. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
There are deals on the M4/3 all the time so there really isn't a need to rush but most deals come with the kit lens. If it's a good deal, I'd say get it then sell the kit lens and use the extra funds to get the 20mm F1.7. The only thing is that you'll have only that focal length until you buy another lens or decide to keep the zoom kit lens if it's to your liking. I'm not sure what my 2nd lens is going to be but may look for a higher end zoom lens or a high end wide angle lens but we'll see. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
I hope I was informative. Just ask me whatever questions you have and I'll let you know what I think. The only thing that surprised me is that not many, even our professor wasn't too familiar with the M4/3 systems. Elson was but he hasn't had his hands on one. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Before I forget, Sony has their line of mirrorless but not M4/3. Their sensor size is pretty much equivalent to the cropped sensor DSLR's like the Canon 7D, T4i, etc. They have great low light capabilities and super compact. I noticed that the focus isn't as tack sharp and their interface is a bit clunky in my opinion but you can research those out as well. They are still awesome cameras for stills and video. </div>

In my production class, each student has to make a short film as their final. Well, it's crunch time and I just started shooting. The process has been interesting. It takes at least a small crew to get things done and doing things on your own or with only one extra hand is not enough for a short film. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I've helped out in a few other's films and will continue to do so till premiere night. I've noticed that I'm also having fun shooting behind the scenes since a ton of it are just candid shots. So far, it's been a great learning experience. Here's a few BTS (behind the scenes) shots from another students' sets. We converted the school studio into a hospital room.<br />

My film is called 3rd Times The Charm. It's about a guy trying to ask a girl out but fails numerous times. He goes back in time to get more chances but time is a restraint and hopefully he can woe her before heading back to the future... I named the character Marty for obvious reasons lol.</div>

I'll be shooting the majority this Friday and some Saturday and hopefully bit by bit during the week if possible. I shot a short part of a montage sequence already and it turned out well. I used my Panasonic GF2 with the 20mm 1.7. I may use this for the rest of my film or maybe have someone else DP the harder scenes using either a 7D or Mark II. The lighting and acting were great and my dolly did what it was expected to do. I'm gonna fine tune my screenplay this weekend and write up a full shot breakdown so shooting the hard parts won't be as difficult. Enjoy and wish me luck!</div>
