Lightweight 4K Vlog & YouTube setup 2016

Lightweight 4K Vlog & YouTube setup 2016 once again we are going to use the lovely Panasonic LX100 with its super sharp Leica 24-70mm F1.7 equivelant lens as the video capture device as it will shoot Ultra High Def 3840*2160 resolution footage. Not quite true 4K but close enough for the majority of us. We also show off the inexpensive Albinar combination Pistol grip and table top tripod. For audio capture we use the much smaller Tascam DR22WL which has built in stereo microphones. Much smaller and lighter setup than our previous tho less versatile in some ways since it lacks XLR inputs. Shot on the Panasonic DMC-G7 and edited on Apple iPadPro. Please give us a thumbs up and subscribe. Thank you for watching. Thanks for visiting! I look forward to seeing you over on my youtube channel, http://youtu.be/2NGv1AgQ51o where you will have much more content coming your way, or you can subscribe to this blog for updates

Like New Panasonic LX-100 compact camera Gorgeous 4K Video

Like New Panasonic LX-100 compact camera. Shoots beautiful 4K 100mbit footage as well as gorgeous 12 megapixel stills courtesy of its Leica lens a nice fast F1.7-2.8 max aperture lens with an equivelant field of view of 24-75mm this camera has the same sensor as the Flagship GH4 from Panasonic. The equivelant lens which is a 12-35mm F2.8 NOT F1.7 costs as much as this camera and lens do. http://www.ebay.com/itm/262353497829?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1558.l2648

Lt. Harryhausen Undead Detective hashtag

Some of my colleague's, or perhaps they are just the voices in my head, are saying #LieutenantHarryhausenUndeadDetective is absurdly long. Suggestions such as #LtHarryhausenUndeadDetective or even the double entendre laden #TheUndeadDick have been tossed about. I hate to lose the Harryhausen pinache but understand that's a mouthful. What do you fine folks think? Are these hashtags too large for #Twitter & #Instagram ?

Panasonic LX100 First Look at Mad Mohawk Films 4K wonder

Panasonic LX100 First Look at Mad Mohawk Films shooting delicious 4K. Let me get this right out of the way. We got this camera for Video and Video only. I am spoiled by the lovely stills I get from my Sony A7 and am unlikely to use this for stills but the Video I pull from it is quite quite nice. The biggest issue I have with it and it's actually fairly mundane, the lack of a microphone input and a headphone output. Why is it mundane? Well the built in mics in a quiet studio environment close up work pretty well but I do have a digital recorder to do dual system audio and synch in FCPX so it's a minor detail. The 24-75mm F1.7-2.8 Leica lens is nice and sharp and reasonably fast. The fact that it is non removable is not a big hindrance as this camera will mostly be used for interviews and product reviews so having a long zoom won't be missed. I've used the App to control the camera via my phone, it cuts down on some of the digging thru menus so is another plus. It's pretty reasonably priced at $699 currently Same Sensor as the GH4 I'm told and shoots 100mbit 4k footage.

My Rode Reel 2016

Well I finally got around to shooting some footage and the behind-the-scenes for this years My Rode Reel 2016.Will be editing both the behind the scenes and the main footage over the next few days. It's Horror oriented that's about all I will say for now. It's somewhat comedic at least I hope it is if it's not I apologize. Luckily it's not overly long so even if it's not as good as I hope it shouldn't put anyone into a coma. So if you haven't started yours yet what are you waiting for Rode is very very generous to the Indy filmmaking community with this contest which is in its third year. If you decide to enter good luck break a leg and may the force be with you. We shot this years entry using 4K cameras for both the main footage and for the behind the scenes the main footage we shot with the Panasonic G7 and the behind the scenes shot with the Panasonic LX 100 with that gorgeous Leica lens.

Lightweight Run & Gun 4K system

Here's a tongue in cheek look at a Lightweight Run & Gun 4K system, it's not totally far fetched of course as the #Panasonic #LX100 shoots gorgeous #4K footage with it's super sharp #Leica 24-75mm F1.7-28 equivalent #FOV lens. The LX100 , #DMC-G7 and the fabulous #GH4 all share the same Micro 4/3 sensor I believe and the camera has built in stabilization as well which is another plus to this budget rig. It's sitting in most of a #Sony #A7 cage from #SmallRig and has a #Rode #VideoMicro on it's hotshoe and attached to the side #cheesebar is the #Tascam #DR22WL digital recorder to grab sound as the LX100 alas lacks a microphone input and headphone monitor jack so recording external sound is a must. This can then replace the scratch track captured by the camera's built in mic's. Final Cut Pro X makes short work of this as does Red Giant's Pluraleyes. Why do I say it's most of a SmallRig cage? Simple, I had to remove the top plate to give myself room for the mini shotgun mic. Yes at some point I will shoot this contraption handheld. Perhaps a trip to Coney Island is in order to give this a bit of a workout. What do you think of this mini rig? BTW I think I'm going to kill off the WordPress version of this Blog and simply post here ONLy, and on Facebook Page and Twitter @MadMohawkFilms of course and Youtube etc. Have a great night. Hope this brought a smile to your face or a glint to your eye.
