This BTS film was commissioned by Blackmagic Design to be shown in conjunction with the film A Night At Nine Lems made by James Tonkin for the 2012 European roadshow tour.

The brief was to test the Blackmagic Cinema camera in a real world shoot, with minimal lens, grip and shot over a single night on location at New Covent Garden market. All shot in ProRes FILM to demonstration workflow with FCPX.

I was charged with shooting the BTS documenting how the shoot came together.

I challenged myself to shoot largely with Prime Lenes and all hand held- this was to see if you can use the BMCC as a valid hand held documentary rig. Also we used no additional lighting, again to test the camera entirely using available light.

You can see the BTS film here:

And the original Film from James here:

Post: FCPX & Resolve.

Enjoyed this just about as much as the film from James.

Question,

What's the device under James mic?

On the Ziess Primes? Does anyone know if they plan to release any faster really wides? Talked with Matthew Duclos, and he hadn't heard and said he'd be surprised if they did.

I love that this forum exists precisely for posts such as these where I learn a ton. Thanks Blackmagic!

That "thing under the mic" is a battery adaptor from Hawk Woods.

Hi Den: Thanks for sharing your work. Nicely done! And hooray for BMCC ProRes 422 HQ! :-)

For folks who may just be tuning in, James Tonkins' short film "A Night in Nine Elms" is discussed here:
