Seb Farges GH2 videos taken with the Nikkor 10mm and Canon 13mm.
Seb Farges is a film director who uses the Panasonic GH2. And he particularly likes to use cheap third party lenses. The video on top has been made using the C-mount Canon 35mm 1.2 and Cine-NIKKOR 10mm 1.8 lenses. I like it a lot! One more new video made with the C-mount Canon and the Panasonic 14mm f/2.5 can be seen here: http://www.vimeo.com/21228832
Look for C-mount Canon 35mm 1.2 lens auctions on eBay (Click here).
Look for Cine-NIKKOR 10mm 1.8 lens auctions on eBay (Click here).
The Panasonic 14mm f/2.5 is available at Amazon, Adorama, B&H, J&R, eBay.

And in my book one is not a “film” director unless one is on IMDb.

As for this artistic video clip, if you turn off the distracting background noise and actually look at it – well – He apparently left his GH2 on AWB and auto-ISO and just fired away handheld while devoting most of his attention to playing with the focus ring to see how cool it was to go in and out of focus sometimes in apparent synchronization with the ‘music’. Very impressive – NOT!

To me, the way he filmed it really suited the piece of music. Did I “like” either? Well, I had to stop halfway through, because it’s nearly bedtime, and it reminds me too much of some of my worse dreams……
Well done!

He made really good use of the light and the subjects. I barely noticed the “handheld” aspect of the piece, because I was completely taken by the subject. To me, this indicates a triumph of technique, as the technique disappeared into the art.

His Vimeo channel is very inspiring and full of original stuff, check it out if you don’t have any inner-ear balance problems (joke). It’s mostly hand-held but the shakyness suits his style, very raw, first person and close to people.
I for one, love it.
