Wait! That's a still frame from a moving video of a moving subject? At what fps???
Yes. Still frame. From a moving gimbal shot, from a Panasonic G9 of a fast moving singer in the middle of a rocking good song. KT
24 fps
Love it, thanks for posting.
Everything's soft ... except where it counts - the face.
Very impressive!
You once posted a picture of a dancer that showed movement back in your early rx-10 days. It was in the rehearsal stage with its horrid lighting. I realized then that, given the right context, I liked pictures that showed some movement. But this one is so much better. What a wonderful picture.

Saw the promo.....I guess that's what they mean by "buttery smooth". Nice.
Love the preview -- thanks for the update
An m4/3 sensor on a powered gimbal. Just goes to show I suppose, good operators knowing the equipment can deliver the goods. Kirk, if I may be so bold, this I believe is why so many of your audience appreciates your blog. You work as a professional and willingly share, humbly and with humility, your challenges and experiences. You have earned access to a creative environment many of us do not have, and must utilize/press the tools of your trade for maximum results. And I'm not just blowing the proverbial smoke, either. You're the real deal, and many of us look forward to little insights into the creative process of a working professional. It's like you raise the bar, and allow us to see what's possible in the world many of us only recreate in. I know I appreciate and look forward to your posts, whether they happen daily or randomly. You're appreciated my good man, and deserve to be happy. Hopefully that happiness includes your desire to share just a little insight into your creative work.
Good to see you back.
Is this the first time you've done the video for a live-streaming event?
Lovely captured movement. Much prefer these style to frozen ones. Real Dynamic range. Heh.
Neat technique.
Mark
Sweet! I'd like to know how to do video like that. Show us how? Please?
What Ronman said, times 100. I look forward to whatever you choose to post in the future, no matter how infrequent.
Welcome back. Missed your posts...
This maybe a inappropriate question but why the edit in the title and text?

Hi Jay, Just temporarily pissed off at some heavy-handed management panic and wagon circling but not so pissed off that I want them to fail or do poorly. I'll change the title back once we've finished our project and it's uploaded. The enterprise is very net positive for Austin.
It's really just a difference of opinion over operational styles. Freelancer versus hierarchical workplace.
Since you asked...
Oh, that kind of stuff. Can make you want to run screaming to the exit. You didn't follow Protocal or bow and tug your forelock to the right person. Sigh.
Jay
More like: "No Good Deed Goes Unpunished."
Sorry to hear about that. You could always bill 'em. Full day rate plus provision for extended hours / overtime.
Plus equipment rental and assistant charges.
MM, send me your technique for squeezing blood from rocks. Seriously, once you dive in and commit to a pro bono project you really have only two choices. Step up and deliver like a pro or....get really pissed off and resign. There's no "after the fact" provision for retroactively getting paid.
It's been an interesting time and as soon as the project goes live I'm going to do a deep, after action report on the whole process.
Featuring: How I ended up with three gimbals. Why I bought an S1H. Why buying an S1H made me appreciate the G9. Why it's important to do deep, art-oriented projects. Why deep, art-oriented projects for pro bono causes tend to suck. Teaching clients about the necessity for at least bare bones craft service. Dealing with "magic thinking" from the client side. Why making people pay for projects makes for better creative products. The folly of shooting everything in high bit, 4K only to find out that all the hard work will end up being streamed at 4000-6000 megabits per second. At 1080p. (If we're lucky). How high end video has gotten over the front of our skis. Why video AF sucks. Why we need video AF. And so much more.
P.S. we're spoiled. We don't rent stuff we just buy it. Now what am I going to do with this 20 ton production truck and these two 100 Megawatt diesel generators? (kidding. just kidding).
I am really looking forward to your thoughts on this latest gig, my anticipation about evenly divided between gear, techniques, and the G9, and your inter-personal experiences and perhaps confrontations.
Well said.
