Blackmagic Forum

Hi,

I am from the UK (what am I doing up at this hour?).

First of all I want to thank Blackmagic for the brilliance, foresight and the audacity to put out such a game changing camera.

So I go first? I am doing something, maybe a bit unusual, going to be setting up a green screen previz film studio. The budget is really tight for this, I mean really tight. Using one camera; like everyone, waiting for my pre-order on Blackmagic Design Cinema Camera. Can't wait for that 12-bit RAW goodness.

Motion capture, using the Kinect for that... What I can afford. Camera motion controller, well I've programmed a 6DOF game controller for that.

A games engine for the previz, plus a little something I've been developing for 8 months that uses NVIDIA OptiX to give real-time raytracing.

Some cheap photography green screen material drapes and tent poles.

So I'd be shooting live action in the studio, mixing it with real-time CGI, grading in DaVinci Resolve, then posting the films on the internet.

Dream is to produce quality that wouldn't normally be done and stories that wouldn't normally be possible unless on a big budget. Certainly the BMC can only help to enable this.

So in the period of anticipation and waiting, if you like, say what you will be using the BMCC for once you get it at last!

Cheers,
Jules

This will be my first personal Cinema Camera.
The skies the limit.

The first thing is a short film that I've been planning for quite a while. I had intended to shoot in on my 7D but as it is all outdoors in bright sunlight, the extra range of the BMC was a no brainer.

After that I will use it for music videos that it is suited for and whatever else comes my way.

I'll be shooting test clips of Philip Bloom's cats, and of his lady friend's relationship with the BMCC ...

No, no, seriously: Freelance projects for ad agencies, broadcasters, and corporate, non-profit & government clients, with occasional music video, performing arts performance, or narrative shoots.

I use various cameras to shoot these now, and the BMCC will be added to the mix. I'm very much looking forward to learning where it fits best! Cheers.

i don't need this camera for commercials production, cuz red epic or alexa always in cost details but for my own short films production this camera looks like something that i would use. i didn't hold it in my hands yet and i had no chance to make any tests, will see.

will be probably everything from commercial to short films.

I'm planning to shoot my second music video (still have to finish my first one, shot/shooting on 60D) on it and go from there.

I've started working on a treatment for this song. I'm hoping the rolling shutter won't affect the inherent "actiony-ness" of what we are probably going to shoot for the song.

Probably be doing doing a bit of live music stuff with it, and some shorts. Also anything else I can
