Griffin’s HISTORY WITH lumix CAMERAS
In 2010, I purchased my first mirrorless camera—the Lumix GH1.
In 2013, I shot my documentary Sriracha in 1080p24 on a Lumix GH3.
In 2016, Panasonic asked me to be the Global Brand Ambassador for the launch of the Lumix GH5 (released in 2017).
In 2019, just after the birth of my son Peter, I produced Argon, to coincide with the launch of the full-frame Lumix S1.
In 2021, Panasonic asked me to film a test film with a pre-production Lumix GH5M2.
Through this relationship, Panasonic has provided lenses, early-access pre-production cameras, and hired me to teach filmmaking workshops and produce films with and about their cameras.
