Official "Look what I shot!" Thread

Owen, quite entertaining for a PSA spot. Great group that really looked into it. Well done. Expect it needs to be cut into a few shorter releases for those 15 second placements.

Thank you Rick.

BTW, what is the trick to embed a video here rather than merely link to it?

Owen, someone from BMD may give you a better answer. It seems to happen in the background where the forum software can pick up the attachment or image or url without issues and so it imbedded it. There are size limitations or password protection (and perhaps codec limitations) so that some links are embedded and others just point to the source. It could be related to the number of your posts as well, but I’m just speculating on the rationale.

On the BMCuser forum, I recall you can specifically add a [video][/video] control versus the url control. I don’t see that distinction here though. Beginners can’t do everything until they’ve made enough simple text posts—a security feature I suppose to prevent being flooded with spam.

The controls you have may be defined by the browser you use. I’m using Tapatalk much of the time so the controls can be explicitly made. See if your browser has a video control. Or manually enter the controls when you post.

Here’s a screen grab from the theatrical performance rehearsal shot in raw 3200K:

Sleeping Beauty 709.jpg

Looks like a Caravaggio, rendered well via the raw process.

Thanks, Owen. Just found out today that client wants me to do the photography as well as the videography for their next theatrical release next week. I’m may use the URSA Mini 4.6K with SLR Magic APO primes, shooting uncompressed raw in 2.4:1 for that ‘stills’ assignment. The photography shoot is during the dress rehearsal and videography the next day, ProRes 444 DCI 2K or HD with the Fujinon Cine Zoom, when they premiere the performance. Let’s hope lightning strikes twice and I get another painterly result.

Good luck with both shoots Rick!

Couple of still frame exports from some footage I shot on the P4K at the Austin F1 this weekend. Quick grade on laptop in hotel, will sort properly when back in the UK. Camera was a joy to use, battery life acceptable and screen fine even in the bright sunshine!

Looks good. DCI 4K all the way?

Yes, 4K DCI Raw 4:1

Looks like a little IR pollution in the clothing? Or maybe just a colour cast. What nd/ nd strength did you use?

I didn’t use an ND on these clips. There is a slight cast I think, going to look at the grade properly when back in the comfort of my studio set up

I had noticed every black seemed a little brown. Infrared pollution doesn’t usually affect every black (all clothes, the car tires, the phone or communications gear), so I thought it might be a combination of tint/temperature or a colour cast. Looking at in post should h op determine the source.

Here is an edit of some footage I shot on location (I was not involved) of the film "Isn't It Romantic".

I spent the morning in Muir Beach in the SF Bay area last Friday and shot some footage to test out the v4 color science. Very impressed with it! Especially no more saturated cyan skies.

You lucky chap! That was the most exciting F1 race I watched on mere TV for quite some time. The images in Capture One look pretty good indeed.

It was indeed!! And thank you for your kind word

Wow, gorgeous. Can you tell more about how you achieved this? (lens, grade) Nice choice of scene.

Thanks Owen. Earlier in the week I borrowed several EF L series lenses and could not tell the difference in quality with a couple of cheaper EF-s lenses I had so I bought a used Canon EF-S 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Standard Zoom for less than $300 bucks on Amazon. This was all shot with that lens. Too much vignetting at 200mm but more useful to me than lugging around the 70-200 2.8 on occasions like these. Monopod to help stabilize. There is plenty of 2k 120fps footage intercut which I was surprised held up so well against the 4.6k res stuff. Everything shot RAW 3:1. Don’t see why so many people shoot prores with this camera given all the benefits of RAW in post, but BMRAW is starting to change that.

Grading wise it’s the v4 BM Film profile with the standard Kodak 2383 LUT that comes with resolve. I think there are a couple shots with Juan Melara’s Linny LUT in there too.

Hope this info was helpful.

This is a mood board video I shot last Sunday. It is for a crime thriller I am developing. Thought it might be interesting so some people here. Basically, we didn't use anything apart from the URSA Mini 4.6K, a small Aputuretech light (AL-M9) and DaVinci Resolve 15.1.

One of my first shoots with the UM4.6k

Early morning in Sausalito, CA

Canon EF 70-200is and 50mm

Shot RAW - Graded in resolve with Hooks LUTs

This year's Halloween short film.

Shot on Ursa Mini 4.6 with a couple of Mavic 2 Pro drone shots. Prores.
Xeen 50mm T1.5 Cine, Tokina 11-16 f2.8, Edited and graded in Resolve.

Coming soon… a model shoot with the URSA Mini 4.6K Classic. Shot in CinemaDNG RAW 4:1 4.6K 2.4:1. Still wish I could have done it with Blackmagic Raw. Yet, the footage still came out looking great. Can’t wait to share.

Here's the model video I shared the BTS photo of above.

Shot on URSA Mini 4.6K (EF) in CinemaDNG RAW 4:1 4.6K 2.4:1 at 23.98 fps. Used Rokinon Cinema Lenses. Edited and Graded in DaVinci Resolve 15.

Thanks for that, Timbutt2. Don’t know if you want any suggestions but I’d select that little clip at 3:22 and move it to the end. Lovely model, nicely done.

Thank you for the input, Rick! At this point the edit is locked on this version. However, I do have a 1-minute Instagram version I'll be cutting this weekend during my free time. I'll probably put that shot at the end for that cut.

It’s a nice bookend for the opening clíp.

Ray, your short looks good. Good composition. Would be good to see more of the activities.

And it was well thought out except for the part where they drive off down the road and appear to leave you to carry all your gear home. Glad you made it back.

Hey all! I finished up my recent cinematography reel. This was almost exclusively shot on BMD cameras, although there are a few others from my EARLY early career with a T2i, and maybe some others (can't remember). Vast majority is Ursa Mini Pro, and then some Cinema Camera.

Travis, looks like most of your projects are more fun than a barrel full of monkeys. Some great scary stuff too. Seriously some fine angles and emotions captured. Good stuff.

Thanks, Rick, I really appreciate that! I shoot a lot of promos for this local entertainment wrestling league called Party World Rasslin'--a lot of my work is in there. Thanks for watching!

Here's that 1-Minute Instagram version for you. It has those nice bookends.

Timbutt2, that one minute is so very good. Thanks for that.

The film was shot in BMPCC as main camera, prores 422HQ. 94 min long. Over two years, it got dropped, stepped on, seawater-splashed, rain-soaked and banged hard. And yet it kept working.

Its LCD screen finally died after finishing the film. It had a rough life. Sorry.

Film trailer:

Yes, the best bits from the longer version. This works very well.
Cheers

Did this cinematic test shoot with the BMPCC4K and I am well pleased with this amazing little camera!

Very ambitious, JIB. Trailer looks promising. Best of luck with it reaching an audience.

SkyVista, we’re interested. Stunning test. Can’t wait to see where this goes.

Rick Lane, thank you!

Ray, I think it's fixed now. Didn't realize I needed to check the "allow embedding" box on YouTube settings.

Received my P4K yesterday. Decided to test its "run-n-gun" abilities in a Target store. No strange looks, no management kicking me out -- very successful. And a bonus low-light shot, all done at 400 ISO!

Here's my latest model video:
The gorgeous Alana Stuckmeyer. We shot this in overcast magic hour light in downtown Sarasota, Florida, and it came out looking great. Shot with the classic URSA Mini 4.6K in CinemaDNG RAW 4:1 with Rokinon 24mm & 35mm cinema lenses. Edited & Graded in DaVinci Resolve 15.

Timbutt2, I think you’ve helped bring out the best in a very relaxed yet engaging young model who is completely comfortable with you behind the camera. She must be happy with that result. Suspect you’ll see more of her.

Thanks Rick! She is very happy with the result. We're already talking about the next video. Since I shot CinemaDNG RAW 4:1 on this one, I'm holding out hope that the next one can be done in Blackmagic RAW.

That’s good news. If I was shooting her, I’d use Q0.

WOW!!! Looks incredible. I need to get a hold of some Sony CineAlta lenses sometime. They are absolutely beautiful. Very nice job!

Thanks, haven’t seen that before although we have Cicada where I grew up.

Thank you Donnell! Hopefully the next one can be done in BRAW. But that's being shot on the 31st, so I'll have to hope that the next one after that can be shot in BRAW. Fingers crossed.

My latest reel...


Shot with UMP 4.6K and PCC4K except for the aerials which were a DJI 4K drone.
