I always find myself filming “events” so I figured I would turn my focus on the mundane for a change… just an average Saturday afternoon, but I love the expression and relational moments the lens captured… who knew there was so much emotion in rock collecting 🙂

For the techs…
– Panasonic Lumix GH1
– Shot in Full Manual mode
– 720 60p HD mode
– Shutter at 125
– ISO 100
– Lens – Lumix 20mm 1.4 with Singh Ray Vari-N-Duo Filter… with this filter I was able to dial in my exposure and shoot with a wide open aperture in full sunlight for nice shallow depth of field
– Last shot was the 14-140mm Lumix Kit lens
– Cam Support – Manfrotto 560B Fluid Video Monopod with 234RC Head
– Hoya 77mm rubber collapsable Hood… this caused some of the vignetting, I should have caught that and pulled back the hood a bit more, but kinda like it in some of the shots
– Neocine transcode from MTS to MOV (leaving it at 60p)
– Cinema Tools to conform 60p to 23.98 (preserves beautiful slow motion by basically only changing the meta data to read 23.98)
– Cut in FCP on a 23.98 fps sequence (to get the slowmo clips to regular speed simply changed clip setting to 200%) I left most in slowmo
