BMPCC 6K | Weebill S + Contax Zeiss 28mm Video

PostThu Jan 16, 2020 11:20 am

Here is a selection of footage shot entirely on the BMPCC6K with the Weebill S and vintage Contax Zeiss lens.



It was definitely fun shooting in Luna Park and challenging in some ways since there were so many harsh and different lights everywhere.

Most of the shots were shot wide open.
Shot in UHD Prores 422.

Let me know if you have any question :).

Cheers,
Florent

Really cool. Did you use focus motor for these shots?

The weebill s is definitely my new favorite tool for the bmpcc4k. The size makes it almost like a stay on equipment. Did you mount the camera upside down, or use counterweight? I found it better to mount the camera upside down because of weight and compactness.

Keep up the good work!

Thanks !! I did not, I tried to keep the setup as light as possible.
And yes I did use a counterweight :).

Thanks for info. I will pic up a focus/zoom motor later on. I hope they soon come out with a firmware upgrade so we can adjust focus with native lenses. I see it’s possible with the wireless adapter, could be a good option.
