Music video for a Swedish comedy group. BMPCC 4K, mostly with the Tokina AT-X Pro 28-70mm (the flares!) and some Panasonic Lumix G X Vario 12-35mm.

Forgot to share these two model videos from that last Model & Photographer Meet Up in November.

Both shot on the URSA Mini Pro G2 of course.

Thanks for the smile. A long way from Super8 and mimeographed family Christmas messages :)

I finally created a reel! Mostly shot with the UM4.6k. Snowy window scene shot on the BMCC 2.5k. A Canon 5Dmk2 was used for two other scenes. Can you tell which scenes? Mix of Canon, Xeen, Rokinon and Sigma lenses. Thanks for waching!

Here is my latest showreel for 2020 pretty much all shot on the URSA Mini 4.6k.

Hope you enjoy. :-)

Cool clips, James. You had a good year!

Here is my little experiment.

Shot on BMD Ursa Mini 4.6k with Samyang lenses in a small studio with makeshift chroma backdrop. I used cDNG 3:1 and 18fps rate with slowed down audio, and upspeed to 24fps in post. Shooting time was just 2 hours.

Used Resolve 16 and built in Fusion for all the editing/vfx. The project was a learning exercise for Fusion and chroma keying, and it helped.

Almost all backgrounds are stock footages.

I feel I used too much lens diffraction and flares, what are your thoughts?

Very cool. I had a look at your proartindia.com site. You sure have an interesting background.

A music video I shot about half a year ago is finally released. Pocket 4k and Voigtländer lenses. Low light, open aperture. Braw 8:1. Davinci Resolve Studio.

Much of the past year has been spent getting my production company up and running, with a solid body of work--so that means a lot of corporate testimonial videos o_O

However, I did get to shoot a music video with my wife/director last year and it finally got released this week. All shot on the Blackmagic Ursa Mini Pro (BPM 1/2 filter on Sigma Cine zooms) and a lot of postwork in Resolve

Posted: **Fri Feb 28, 2020 9:32 pm**

Sure beats corporate testimonials. Nice work.

BEAUTFULLY shot! Great use of color and visuals.

Ursa Mini Pro G2
Pocket 4k on Ronin S for driving / moving shots

Mavic 2 Pro aerials
Canon 1DX for underwater / surf stuff (not by me)
GoPro Hero 8

Still very pleased with Blackmagic Color Science! The Canon color really falls apart in comparison.

Hey Sascha, nice spot, also on your web site. Do you know if the scenes with Pauline Ado were shot in southwest France?

Posted: **Sat Mar 07, 2020 4:08 pm**

Hey Rob,

thank you! Yes, we shot this in 2 days around Biarritz in France.

Posted: **Sat Mar 07, 2020 4:39 pm**

Sascha, watched the video without audio and didn’t like the disruptive flow; then listened to it and the visual flow made sense. Very good.

Posted: **Sat Mar 07, 2020 4:44 pm**

Hey!
This video I shoot in Russian Arctic during a scientific expedition.

I think that this video is going to be very successful for Mercedes-Benz. Very positive reaction so far. Also, cool that Sascha is using these cameras for work at this level. Check out his web site: https://saschaheyden.de/

Rick, glad you liked it, I will tell then editor when I see him.

Rob, thanks for the kind words and linking my website

During this period a good way to kill time while in self-isolation is to work on the reels. Here's the first reel I put together, which is my Model Video Portfolio Reel:

Working on my Main Reel next. Just got to find the right music...

Posted: **Fri Mar 20, 2020 3:28 am**

Here’s some frames from today’s shoot. Just the BMD Extended Video LUT applied in BRAW.

Just at the start of coronavirus madness (pre-social distancing and stay-inside) we did a quick -24hr turnaround to write+ film a couple 1min episodes for our webseries.

Here’s one of them. I’m very happy with how it turned out. And with the performance of the BMPCC 6K (3200 iso, braw 8:1)

Nice. I like the look shooting up to 3200 ISO on the new Pockets. Such an improvement compared to 1600 on the URSA Mini 4.6K.

Posted: **Thu Mar 26, 2020 11:09 pm**

And, here is the latest and probably last model video for a while. At least until the whole "Stay At Home" order is lifted.

Shot Blackmagic RAW 12:1 in 4608x1920 with Rokinon Cinema Lenses.
Edited & Graded in DaVinci Resolve 16.

Posted: **Thu Mar 26, 2020 11:30 pm**

Nice work Tim. "Last work for awhile" ... I know what you mean. My partner and I live in different towns so she was about to come here for a few weeks and we were going to shoot some performance audition tapes for shows and film narration when this hit. Now we both have time but we are 300 Kms apart. Maybe a Skype shoot? Strange times.

Posted: **Fri Mar 27, 2020 3:23 am**

Really like your selection of resolution on that 4.6K sensor. Pretty work as always!

Posted: **Fri Mar 27, 2020 7:16 pm**

Thank you Overlander and Rick! I know I'll be offering discounted rates to small businesses when we come back to normal for 30-60 second ads. Hopefully that drums up some fresh new business and as well gets those small businesses some attention.

The director of a feature I shot called Upstage has put it up on youtube to watch for free over the next month while we are in lockdown. It was shot on two Blackmagic Cinema Cameras.

Posted: **Sat Mar 28, 2020 4:03 am**

BTW, there is a hotel commercial I shot in January that is still in post. Hopefully it can be finished and color graded by me to show everyone. I think it is nicely done with both Pocket 4K and UMPG2. My only complaint is the Pocket 4K not having a native 16x9 resolution.

I recreated the cut that was sent to me. Color graded it and sent to client. Hopefully soon we'll be able to release something.

Posted: **Sat Mar 28, 2020 5:21 pm**

Did you shoot the BMPCC4K in UHD?

Posted: **Sat Mar 28, 2020 7:44 pm**

rick.lang wrote:Did you shoot the BMPCC4K in UHD?

The Pocket 4K was set to 4K DCI by the other camera operator. I was mainly operating the G2 the whole time.

Posted: **Sat Mar 28, 2020 8:37 pm**

Two camera shoots are always tricky in my limited experience!

Posted: **Tue Mar 31, 2020 5:31 pm**

Here's a new music video I shot for the band Eleanoora Rosenholm. Half of the material is shot with a Sony FS700 & Odyssey 7Q+ and half with the Blackmagic Pocket 4K. There's a blog post about the making of the video below but I will be using the Pocket 4K more and more. We also got to use Astera LED tubes in this video and I was completely blown away by them!

I have my color pass done. However with everything shut down who knows when they’ll get back to the commercial and it will be released and when I can share it. Soon hopefully.

Some relaxed shots I did of the light travelling around my house. Maybe I've been stuck inside too long.

Second teaser trailer for our indie short film about madness, love, mind-control gas, blind pirate moles and much more! Shot with BMPCC4K. Any comments?

Posted: **Wed Apr 01, 2020 11:04 pm**

So, for the past 7 or 8 months, while living in Dubai, I've been doing some work with Arslan Visuals. We shoot on Blackmagic Pocket 4K, Pocket 6K, URSA Mini Pro and some Canons and a Panasonic.

I worked as a camera assistant on this project, but it was Directed and DP'd by Ozzie from Arslan Visuals. Shot on the Pocket 4K in BRAW 4K. I'm not sure which compression, but I believe it was 3:1.

Couple of national tvc's for a jewellery brand. UM46K & P4K.

Posted: **Thu Apr 02, 2020 9:44 pm**

So sweet, Jukka. Perhaps you’ll post more someday... say a two hour feature.

Posted: **Fri Apr 03, 2020 12:30 am**

I never shared this short film last year. But figured I'd share it now. Sadly I never had any say in the color grade. I tried to get the director to let me relink to the RAW footage to color grade, but he ended up only using the UHD ProRes Proxy files I provided him for the edit to make the final video. Still I shot it well enough and the VFX are cool.

Shot on the Original URSA Mini 4.6K in 4.6K CinemaDNG RAW 4:1 at 4,608x1,920 (2.4:1) at 24 fps.
Rokinon Cinema Lenses.
