Industrial Moonlight on Vimeo by Martin Wallgren

This is a compilation of a few clips that I shot on way to and from work the last few days to test the low light performance of the Panasonic GH2. I must say that I'm very impressed so far with the little gem. I'm a heavy user of the Lensbaby TT since it gives me the amazing ability to shoot and tilt just about any F-mount lens in the camerabag, being a Nikon user. My latest gear aquisition was the Carl Zeiss Planar T* 1,4/50 ZF for Nikon, it's an awesome lens for the GH2 when it comes to video work, but also for stills because it's actually quite easy to focus manually with the EVF.

 

There is noise/grain in some of the footage but remember it was shot in darkness, pretty much wide open and at the higher ISO range, noise is most visible in the 1:1 crop mode scenes (EX-tele). Most the clips are ungraded except for the "vintage scratched film" look added to one of the clips. In the first scenes I used a slow shutter speed (1/5 and 1/13) and did a speed up in post for a quick and rather jerky timelapse. Be aware that the original 1080p file available for download is XDCAM EX codec, so you'll need QuickTime and FCP on Mac OS X for the playback or re-wrap the files to MXF and then use Sony XDCAM viewer for Windows.
