Official "Look what I shot!" Thread

Just shot this yesterday afternoon on the BMCC.

Shot on the Blackmagic Cinema Camera at 30fps conformed to 23.98fps in RAW 2.5k.

Canon 24-105mm f4.0l lens used with Miller DV20 Solo Tripod and Wooden Camera Cage.

Graded in DaVinci Resolve and then edited in ProRes 4444 in FCPX.

Hope you like it!

Looks great! What setting did you use to export the footage for Vimeo? It's so smooth, I never get my h.264 exported Vimeo uploads to look like that

Cheers Christian, I used the direct share to Vimeo option in FCPX. I have taken a still of the QT properties of the original file.

Thanks for your reply I have noticed that FCPX exports a file with a bitrate of only 12Mbit/s when saving as a "Master file", makes total sense for the streaming export to be higher bitrate...

By the way, do you think RAW -> ProRes 4444 -> h.264 makes a difference to RAW -> ProRes 422 HQ -> h.264?

I suppose it would, I mean my workflow is RAW to ProRes 4444 then output at whatever resolution is needed. I use the Master file setting for broadcast and then everything else use either Apple Devices or Vimeo.

This forum needs a "like"-button!

Any way, here is a scene which I recently shot with the BMCC. More information in the video description.

This camera would be a reason to get the 1080p with Vimeo Plus. Most web-compression doesn't do it justice.

I suppose it would, I mean my workflow is RAW to ProRes 4444 then output at whatever resolution is needed. I use the Master file setting for broadcast and then everything else use either Apple Devices or Vimeo.

I guess it makes sense to keep as much colour information in the files as possible while editing, but does anybody know the technical side to this? I'm intrigued as to whether it really makes a difference considering the output will still be h.264.

Hey all, quickly saw this location beside the road the other day and looked so remote I had to shoot it.

Finally got some BMCC test footage up! Please read the descriptions on vimeo for more background info/thoughts for each video:

We just finalized our short film that we shot entirely on the Blackmagic Cinema Camera. We used all Canon EF USM primes and color graded in Davinci with the assistance of the ColorGhears Pro tools.

Visited this absolutely amazing place on the weekend, Seal Rocks is truly a stunning place and so peaceful and relaxing. Had to share some shots of this great place!

Here's my first test shoot with the BMCC. I went really extreme with the grade as I wanted to push the footage as far as I could to test the camera's strengths and limits.

Thanks TZuck!

just saw this thread... so here's a reel from the last 6 months with the camera:

BMCC 2012 Reel


A selection of shots from projects filmed since I got a BMCC in Sept 2012. Some shots from client jobs, but a lot from travel whilst working last year as the size of the camera meant that I had it with me most of the time. Mostly all filmed in RAW apart from the rehearsal footage which was ProRes Video for quick delivery.

Camera: Blackmagic Cinema Camera (EF Version)
Lens: Tokian 11-16, Canon 17-55 IS, Sigma 24mm f1.8, Canon 70-200 IS.
Post: FCPX & Resolve.

Hi Todd: Looks good, except the motion seems slightly off to me (but could just be my tired eyes). I notice the file downloaded from Vimeo shows a frame rate of "50 fps" in QT player. Is that correct (or as intended)? Cheers.

Very nice Todd, I've seen this location before shot on red epic, Honestly your video looks as good if not better.

Thanks for sharing

I GLAD to announce that we FINALLY released our film on Vimeo account of our producer, which supplied camera equipment to us, Cine 360. They supplied us Shape Offset BMCC Rig, Movcam Rig and FF, Rolux AB mount batteries and two BMCC bodies of course... When we went them with the project, they backed us with full faith... They gave us an amazing chance with making first production of a that kind of a camera...

As I said before, we wanted to simulate a low budget indie film situation and we tried to not use that much of additional lights at all... Sometimes we filled only the key light, but at interiors we used a bit of light...

There is lots of thing about camera and most of them are good... I'll share my experienced with camera later, see you!

Thanks very much Darryl, yes it does have a great soft feel to it that I don't feel with the epic

Hmm that's interesting... Must be something in the convert for Vimeo. Because I did shoot it at 30fps, then conformed it to 23.98fps for use in FCPX and then uploaded directly from there. Will look into it! Thanks Peter!

Shot on the BMCC with the Canon 24mm f1.4l Lens. I realised I forgot my tripod mount when I got there, so I decided the handheld look.

Shot this in the space of 15 minutes just before sunset and edited in about 20 minutes. I wanted to really get an idea of how fast the workflow could be in ProRes and prove that it is an amazing camera for FCPX integration and ease of use. I graded it in FCPX with the standard CC, no other filters used.

Part 1 of a commercial launch campaign shot with the BMCC. I used the Canon 16-35mm f2.8l lens for this with the Kessler Cineslider. Lighting was with a few Kino Flow Diva Lights and natural light coming in from the side.

Shot in Avid DNxHD and edited and graded in Media Composer 6.5.

More to come in the coming weeks.

Needed to do a test shoot for an upcoming TVC I am shooting with the BMCC, it needed to feel warm have a handheld look to it, so I went out testing it yesterday afternoon...

a brutal 30 sec that i did in 5 minutes yesterday to test the DR of the camera. Pretty happy

Sorry, didn't see this thread earlier!

Hi, everyone - I just completed a horror short that was filmed using 2.5k RAW and edited in a 2K timeline with FCPX and Resolve. Would love to hear your thoughts! Thanks! Kyle

Well done! Very imaginative. Thanks for sharing!

I'm going to be shooting a crowdfunding promo with a BMCC, on loan by the friendly folks at the DVEStore this weekend. I picked up the camera yesterday, but probably won't get a chance to play with it until tomorrow due to the fact that I don't have the right lenses (which is why I ordered an MFT version).

The folks at the DVEStore even loaned me a 480 GB Sandisk Extreme SSD. Their shop is ridiculously non-descript and in the middle of nowhere, but they're nice folks

In the meantime while I edit some footage for upload to vimeo. Here's some stuff I did:

Interesting to see these digital negatives developed just as if we were in a darkroom bringing up a great print in the developer tank from an 'overexposed' negative in the enlarger.

Toying around with a new lens. All on Leica R 19mm f2.8 v2. Tiffen IRND on the outside shots. All shot 30p, conformed to 24. This is all prores film log, then used film convert to color it.

Here is some footage I shot in Paris. It's a slower paced edit, so don't click play if you're in an anxious mood.



Hope you enjoy!

I just got back myself and I am very impressed by your footage! Have to say I am jealous as I ended up not getting my camera in time so I just did stills on this trip. It is such a beautiful city, especially without all the tourists and you did a great job of capturing it. Well done sir! Supposedly my camera is shipping soon, so I am fully inspired to out there and start shooting in RAW.

:shock:

Thanks! I hope you get your camera soon! I know I'm a tourist too, but I love visiting places when there aren't very many tourists around. There definitely were enough in Paris, but nowhere near the number I've seen in the summer.

Today was the first day it didn't rain or snow since I got my camera. Very short. Don't blink or you'll miss it.

How did you expose this, i.e. did you expose to the right so you didn't clip the highlights shown by the 100% zebras or did you use a spot meter on the snow or a grey card or an incident light reading?

Very funny and a lot of truth buried in the sarcasm! (ok, maybe not alot) I bought the very same camera you did, wow! Nice work, seriously.

Hello there! I'm new to the forum. Happy this forum is here . I've made some shots and a short portrait with the BMCC. Soon I will make some shots with my steadicam, and hopefully shots with the helicopter (first need an good converter from SDI to SD cable).

Hope you like my shots .


Short portrait (in dutch). It's about an old farmer (78 years old) making (good and funny) poets while working. I will make an subtitle-version soon.

That farmer is certainly an entertainer!

I know inside the barn, the light can be quite low with very dark shadows. Perhaps another time you will use your Canon f/1.4 50mm lens in that situation to see if it helps with the shadows. Very enjoyable post.

Thanks Rick Lang!


I had 3 lights with me, but I was trying to light the barn as natural as possible, as if some light came from gaps in the building, of from a little light. I wanted to show how dark it was there. Some shots did work, not all. I wish I had more time and lights, so I could light some more dark areas. I've done this with 2 people in 5 hours. We did some shots with rails and jib, so had to build alot . And the farmer was really at work, so had to take what I could get, couldn't direct him.

Thanks for your reaction !

Well you lit the barn very well then, it was very natural looking and reminded me of my grandfather's barn and his milking cows.
