I really hate the camera with a video-feature thing. CMOS sensors work fantastically in still cameras, just keep them the gently caress away from video until the shutter issues are worked out.

I shot three quick projects with them last weekend, and honestly it comes out ok. The workflow isn't that great (you have to bring them into compressor before you can do anything). The real problem I had is that the lenses that most packages are going to have with it are really suited for stills, racking and pulling focus on them is a pain and never comes out quite right.

Yeah, I've pretty much decided to shoot my next film on a GH-1 for a number of reasons. The biggest is low light and low visibility, as in, so we don't get caught shooting where we aren't supposed to. We need the shallow depth of field, but doing this in low light is quite difficult with other HD camcorders in my price range as well.

I've scoured over problems with the GH-1 and while the camera won't do any magic, it will help us achieve the look we're looking for. We have a scene at a club where we're going to rent the HVX for a day, because strobes and fast movement kill CMOS sensors.

If you have other options, I'd look into them. I shot a couple of quick projects on it and while it's nice for avoiding permits and stuff, I'm just not a big fan. Plus if you're looking to rack or pull focus, most DSLR lenses are just going to be way to slow or stiff to do a decent job.

How do the rest of you freelance people survive during this 'joyous' season?

Unemployment. Your job ended, if you paid in you qualify.

I've given a lot of advice to film students, maybe it'll help you out, Dorkside.

If you guys have some concrete ideas don't forget to apply for a Cinereach grant. They are giving out grants of up to 50k. I applied for a short doc I'd like to do inspired by the Trayvon Martin incident.

Amazon Studios?

e: http://studios.amazon.com/scripts

I don't know if the scripts listed there are legally entangled with Amazon though. The winners are surely, but those that aren't might be produce-able.

Amazon has an option on everything sent to them. For zero dollars.

At least they are WGA signatory so they have to pay you guild minimums for any option they exercise.

They had to be completely strongarmed into it. I still don't think it's a good environment to be in.
