I like to boom a mic in over the top. It requires a dedicated stand, sandbag, boom pole, etc., but I prefer not seeing a lav in the picture. I usually use my Sony shotgun mic. It was in the $500 range 15 years ago when it was new. I have used less expensive cardioid mics with success, as well.

Dan, I recently did a shoot and achieved the ‘white limbo’ or ‘white infinity’ look with a white muslin background. I did stretch the cloth but there were still lots of wrinkles and it was not perfectly lit. All I did was overexpose the background a bit and all those flaws disappeared. I had to dim the keylight way down to avoid overexposing the doctor. I used four lights in total. The background was lit with a CDM Fresnel and a Kino Diva. The keylight was a Kino Diva running on 2 banks, dimmed down. The backlight was a little Switronix TorchLED.

I thought the new screens were 75% less reflective. It looks very reflective in that picture.

[Dave Gage] “Please keep me posted on how it goes. We all basically have the same MBP.”
Dave: At this point, I’ve done over five hours of mobile editing, with projects on my 750GB internal HDD. No problems to speak of and I’m really enjoying making money while in bed wearing pajamas!

How about an auto-scrolling timeline so I can use my trackpad less?!

Thanks, Bill: Great link!
I actually ordered my GH2 from Canada two years ago for that very reason.

Hi, Bill:
How do the GH2 and GH3 compare image-wise. I’m mostly interested in moire and low light performance. And, where did you pick up your GH3? Thanks!

[Howie Young] “What have you shot with the Panasonic 25mm – stills or video? Is this the official model # – Panasonic Lumix G Micro 4/3 LEICA DG SUMMILUX 25mm f/1.4 Leica Aspherical Lens?”
Yes, that’s the lens. I’ve only had it for a week and I’ve mostly just taken pictures of the kids with it!
[Howie Young] “Which kit lens did you get – the 14-42mm or the 14-140mm? When you say it is a slow lens do you mean the time it takes to auto-focus or zoom in?”
I have the 14-140. It’s slow, as in a narrow maximum aperture (f4-5.8) The bigger the fstop numbers, the smaller the aperture, the more light that’s required. The smaller the fstop numbers, the larger the aperture, (like f1.4), the more light the lens takes in, which means less light required. I hope that makes sense!

Your budget will determine a lot. I’ve shot lots of corporate talking head stuff with a vintage 35mm f2 Nikkor adapted to my GH2. The lens was $200 or so and the adapter was $75 I think. I have the kit zoom that came with my GH2, but I don’t use it for much. It’s pretty slow. If you want a fast (f2) zoom, then look at Olympus; but you are talking $2- $2.5k for those babies. Panasonic has some slightly slower (f2.8) zooms in the $1k range. I just got the Panasonic 25mm (50mm equivalent) f1.4 AF lens ($500). That thing is fast and sweet. Anyway, there are a ton of good lenses you could use. How much do you want to spend?
