That was a labor of love for all of us. I find that the GH2 has a voice but nowhere near the quality of the Canon. I do not like not having manual control as well as different lens options.

Romanovich Fri, 04 Mar 2011 20:30:17 +0000 http://hurlbutvisuals.com/blog/?p=1082#comment-13303 I have to retract this question, I don't always have a 20+ inch field monitor, I am using the Small hd monitor, and a 5.6" screen is still tough to keep a consistent exposure throughout a scene. I ended up purchasing the Sekonic 758, Properly calibrated, even if I am a stop off, I figure At least I will be a stop off throughout the whole scene, So I take that question back, lol, not too bright of me. On a side note, Looking forward to the second HB/Shane Webisode, 1st was great.

I caused a misunderstanding here. What I meant was that even if the GH2 has a plastic look and you prefer more the one of the Canons, how could I get same results, as a GH2 owner. I unfortunatly don't find any professional material about the GH2 - besides forum comments and some tests. Hi Shane,

Romanovich Wed, 02 Mar 2011 01:39:58 +0000 http://hurlbutvisuals.com/blog/?p=1082#comment-13242 I asked you last week about how you do your exposure readings, and you told me your 22" HP, which I saw in the Making of one of the films. I had a situation where I was out on the field, daytime, and I got pretty close to correct exposure, in post I bring up the whites and down a tad with the blacks, But I found it hard to keep the exposure of the same scene close throughout the scene, even though It took me an hour at the most to film each scene, the sun shifts, causing me to adjust either ND filters, F-Stops, and ISO.... any Suggestions on the best way to go about getting more accurate close exposures to each take?

Romanovich Wed, 02 Mar 2011 01:32:36 +0000 http://hurlbutvisuals.com/blog/?p=1082#comment-13241 I did just get a light meter, One thing I noticed on the 5D is that the range starts at 2500 on the dial wheel, I have seen some reading on my meter around 2300, I guess if it is under, you have to go to the nearest which will be 2500? Have you ever come across where the color temperature is below 2500, any solutions?

I already have it and now I am struggle again if I did the right investment. Thanks for taking time.

Romanovich, I have a Minolta color meter which is my go to meter for this. But I do a lot to eye off of the back LCD screen and dial in the WB. Avi B.

Or are you just going by the Kelvin temp range, and doing your changes by eye.
