The Panasonic LUMIX GH7 is here, and it is absolutely phenomenal.
For the announcement of this epic camera, I decided to create a short film with a poignant (and timely) message about the power of art and creativity to bring people together in times of conflict and crisis. With only 3 or 4 days to do it, it was tough but I'd wanted to put this piece together for some time. It's my little tribute to both the incredible talent I am blessed to have all around me, as well as a great man from across the pond, whose words couldn't be more apt today, more than 60 years later.
My initial thoughts on the camera - The GH7 produces a truly beautiful image. The footage is genuinely stunning. It performed totally flawlessly during the production of this film and that's pretty much it in a nutshell. Could this be LUMIX’ best filmmaker's camera to date? I think it might be and look forward to getting to know it more.

A huge, huge thank you to my friends and family that made this happen in such a short amount of time. We managed to plan, shoot, edit, score, and post the piece in just 3 or 4 days, and I have the people around me to thank for that.
