I love filming with adapted lenses because pulling focus with the mechanical focus ring is such a pleasure.

I'm now on the hunt for a native lens with good AF performance for stills that allows pulling focus for video a delight.

I'm interested in any focal length. ]]> Filmmaking klee http://www.mu-43.com/f84/favorite-native-lens-pull-focus-48071/ http://www.mu-43.com/f84/mounting-two-cameras-simultaneous-shooting-47480/ Sat, 08 Jun 2013 11:16:28 GMT Here's an interesting problem. I want to mount two small cameras (Panasonic GH1) on a minimal rig so that I can shoot simultaneously with them. Unlike 3D video, I want the lenses to be as coincident as possible.

Geometrically, I think the best way would be to mount one camera on top of the other, but upside down. I might also use a tilt adapter on each so as to compensate a for the offset.

Not sure what minimal hardware I need for this. Any advice? ]]> Filmmaking rparmar http://www.mu-43.com/f84/mounting-two-cameras-simultaneous-shooting-47480/ http://www.mu-43.com/f84/180-degree-shutter-rule-travel-46907/ Mon, 27 May 2013 23:01:19 GMT I am wondering just how critical you find the 180 degree shutter rule is when travelling. The reason I ask is that, while I do have a variable ND filter, I am simply a hobbyist and do a lot of still image shots when travelling. Constantly using a variable ND filter and adjusting it, and making sure I am following the 180 degree shutter rule is simply too much of a pain in the ***, especially when you want to film those "candid" moments and not piss off the significant other by playing around with the camera. Also, I enjoy just being able to use the depth of field I want without adjusting everything for each clip I film.

In summary: do you find the 180 degree shutter rule still critical for video quality when the output is simply travel videos? They won't quite be your average "home-made" video, but rather a good quality travel video. ]]> Filmmaking jpcairns http://www.mu-43.com/f84/180-degree-shutter-rule-travel-46907/ http://www.mu-43.com/f84/lenses-still-versus-video-46820/ Sun, 26 May 2013 17:39:13 GMT How does f/stop & shutter speed (and other variable features with regard to lenses) differ between still photography and video?

Do the principles in handling carry over from one to the other or are there finer nuances between the mediums, at least as far as said factors pertain to aperture control on the lenses?

To take this a step further, when it comes to choosing lenses for shooting video, are there any lenses that are fundamentally incompatible? ]]> Filmmaking TheBambooRonin http://www.mu-43.com/f84/lenses-still-versus-video-46820/ http://www.mu-43.com/f84/new-footage-blacmagic-pocket-camera-46813/ Sun, 26 May 2013 14:25:30 GMT This time we get to se some SDOF and low light.

Does anyone here record their video & audio separately then sync them up in post?

What are some good practices to employ to make the final product as good as possible?
