NOTES: Over a year ago, when the Panasonic Lumix GH4 arrived, I broke it in by filming and editing the first professionally shot independent short film, in its first week: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-9HXx1Bul4.  Not the newest thing now, the GH4 still is the only meaningful option for capturing 4K video internally without a big rig, costing under a couple grand. But it's always needed a bit of rigging, and while filmmakers keep using it to make amazing films - examples at http://www.focuspulling.com/blog/gh4 - there's still a lot to talk about, in terms of rigging it up right (and all of this applies to the GH3 too). Following up the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera rigging guide I made last year that went sort of viral - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bkB8vs3Ze98 - here's a similar chat: because sometimes, showing stuff and talking over it works better than writing an article. For a streaming clip, it does run long, but it covers lots of ground - and I'm looking forward to reading your comments below.

Don't forget, the world's biggest GH4 User Group is spanned across Vimeo, Facebook and Twitter, all connected together at: http://www.focuspulling.com/blog/gh4. Thanks for continuing to share your work with the community.
