Hi All,
I shot a music video on the BMPCC4K which consisted of the talent, top lit, wearing a black t-shirt and in front of behind a black backdrop (on paper it sounds like that would never work, but in fact it looked fantastic).
Given the emphasis was focused on the blacks, I wanted the most dynamic range below middle grey. Given all the variables, I settled on ISO 1600 which falls into the second ISO tier of the 4k and gives us 8.1 stops under middle grey. It came out great.
Like most of us, I too am always keen to explore ways / products that can legitimately up the production value and quality of my work - as such, the Ursa 12K is very much on my radar.
For fun, I looked up what the Dynamic Range the Ursa 12K would give at ISO 1600 - and it transpires that the Ursa gives us 6.8 stops below middle grey.
Could that possibly mean that for this particular shoot, that the pocket 4K could actually be the superior tool for the job? Aside from resolution as I am happy with 4K resolution.
If not, what other factors would make the Ursa 12K more superior in this scenario? (I wish I had both cameras to explore - BM if your listening - lol!)
Also, how does the Ursa 12k perform when shooting at 4k? From user experiences, is it allot better than the Pocket 4k?
This post isn't a Pocket 4k vs Ursa 12k debate - I am sure the 12k is superior, moreover, other than resolution and sensor size, what makes the Ursa 12k unbeatable?
