Driftwood 'Apocalypse Now 444 Soft' patch/hack on GH2

preview_player
Показать описание
According to Driftwood, this patch is "an attempt to simulate a process that turns the codec into the equivalent of 4:4:4 encoding."
I felt like a kid on the morning of Christmas when I installed it, shot with it and viewed on on my Mac.
Yup, it's definitely the best GH2 hack I've seen.
GH3 is now out with all the trumpet fanfare, and I don't think it can capture the moments better than GH2 with this hack -- not until it gets hacked as well someday.
With slight color grading, GH2 delivers amazing filmic quality images. There is plenty of detail in the shadows and NO blown highlights.
Each clip has 2 sections -- first part of each cut is without any color correction, then it wipes to reveal color correction/grading to give it a little zip.

Shot with 20mm Pancake, wide open at f1.7.
Color graded with Colorista II
Music: "Thank You Mom" by Romeeck

Great looking clips, and great job with that Panasonic 20mm. Sometimes I love that lens, sometimes not. But -- you appear to have used it perfectly.

It depends on the lens. For super sharp lens such as this particular 20mm pancake, yes, I would say it's the best one I have seen. For other lens, try the sharp version for older lens and soft version for modern sharp lens manufactured for digital cameras. It's a good starting point. I personally do not think it's going to get too much better. Thanks for visiting!

This patch gives you the range of choices, so it's all good.

I have updated the video description to include the link to the files and forum. Good luck!

I am not really sure, but I think it has something to do with sharpness. I am not very technical when it comes to patches. I just load different ones until I find the ones that looks good to my taste. Thanks.

No, I have not tested in that particular mode, but if you do, please let me know how it works out. Thanks!
