The filmmaker sent me following text:

“I recently completed a documentary style music video for New York based artist Taiyo Na for his song Lovely to Me (Immigrant Mother). It’s a music video dedicated to not only immigrant mothers but all our moms. It was completed just this past Thanksgiving weekend and done in time to commemorate and give thanks to our moms. And I wanted to share it here because it was all shot with the GH1 with many people who I just handed the camera to and said, “Here go and film your mom!”

The process of this film was a community based one so much of the main footage was shot by youth and adults who had very little experience using a camera. So in many respects this piece is a different kind of music video not that aesthetics are thrown out the window but that it is a much more process driven creation. The “mom” footage piece was shot with two GH1s with much of the stock lens footage on auto focus. Although I hate working with autofocus, we just didn’t have the time to teach people how to use the camera, the goal was more here’s a camera point and shoot with it. So in a way this is an experimental process, so yes from a technical stand point some footage shows some of the GH1’s issues and problems but over all it shows the power of the GH1 and m43 camera in general.

But I wanted to post this MV to show that sometimes we focus too much on the pixel peeping and the things that suck or are lacking about a camera and not enough time on the content or heart of a piece. Ultimately, we are telling stories be it in pictures or in a moving image. If that story is powerful enough I think then sometimes we can look beyond the negatives and see the real possibility of doing a lot with so little.

And that’s sort of what we did with this music video. Looked at using what we got now and to push it as far as we could to tell a compelling story.

I hope this little piece can inspire others to go out and shoot with the little you. And with the little GH1 we were able to get amazing results.

I hope you enjoy. I also run a blog called componentgeek too with some info. that may be useful for those who are using c-mount cine lenses.

Much respect,

Gary”

Olympus is doing right what Panasonic does not!

Sadly sadly Amazon US delayed the in Stock status for the GF1. They promised us to have the GF1 in Stock today but now it says “in Stock on December 16!”. Remember, the GF1 has been unveiled on early September!

The good news is that Olympus surprised us all and they have the Olympus E-P2 Camera with 14-42mm Lens and Electronic View Finder in Stock before Christmas (only 1 month after the official announcement). And you also get $50 cashback by amazon (that makes a total price of $1,050). Sadly european stores don’t have the E-P2 in stock like here for example: Amazon Deutschland

(UPDATED) Pssss…don’t tell it to your Canon/Nikon friends: Gianni Galassi shoots with a MicroFourThirds camera! :)

Share

We already knew it! Professional photographer does shoot with Fullframe Canon/Nikon cameras. They make the good photography and we make the bad photography.

Ok! Canon and Nikon users stop reading here ok? Don’t go further, your ego might suffer if you continue reading ;)

Let’s talk about real photography:
I was reading an article at TheOnlinePhotographer about the famous photographer Gianni Galassi. After that I visited Gianni’s blog and found an interesting line: “blablabla….Having recently adopted Micro 4/3…..blablabla”. He has started his career by shooting with MicroFourThirds cameras! Maybe he doesn’t know that MicroFourThirds don’t have a fullframe sensor inside? ;)

P.S: I have nothing against Canon/Nikon users, but I feel sorry for those who think that the camera or brand has a decisive influence on the quality of photography!

UPDATE: here you have the link to one picture taken with the Panasonic G1.
Galassi has been so friendly to visit our website and write a comment to our post:

Unfortunately I’m not starting my photographic career now. I took my first pictures when I was a kid in the Sixties, using a 6X6 Eura Ferrania. My first reflex was a Canon FT, but I soon switched to Nikon (it was the “cool” camera then). After becoming a pro, I shot with 5×4 inch Arca and Linhof view cameras, 6×6 Rollei and Hasselblad and 35 mm Leica MP-4 and CL (an unforgettable little gem). I only made color transparencies and b/w negative. The latter developed, printed and finished by myself in my own lab.
When I stopped commercial assignments I kept my Leicas for personal photography. I entered the digital era scanning my b/w negatives and then editing them in the early versions of Photoshop. I turned towards digital capture only when a reliable sensor was available: the 6 mpixel Sony adopted, among others, by Nikon for its D100 and D70. And by Epson for its R-D1 viewfinder M-bayonet body, which was my choice as a natural Leica digital dub in 2004. Great camera.
Then came Nikon D200 and D300. Good cameras indeed, but definitely too heavy and bulky for my habits. Oh, there has also been a Leica M8, but I sold it after a couple of weeks).
When M4/3 appeared at least, I found it was a promising successor of my film Leicas. I tested a G1, and that confirmed my opinion: a good quality 12 mpixel is enough to get excellent exhibition-range prints. IMHO it can be considered as the 35 mm of the digital age. And the first GF1 in Rome has been mine. It reminds me of my old Leica CL. Definitely my kind of camera. Apart from the GF1, I have a Canon G10, which I like too. And sometimes I enjoy some shooting with a Lumix TZ65. My whole equipment can now be stored in a Micro-Trekker shoulder bag. Three lenses, spare batteries, chargers, filters, cards and a mini tripod included. And my iPod. How refreshing.

Thanks Gianni!
