Hi from Spain,

We are shooting a very short film last week in A Coruña, northwest of Spain, and we'd like to share the experience with you.
The title is "Leaving As Veigas" (is a joke, sure!: "as veigas" means "las vegas" in galician, a regional language from there; also, "las vegas" means "banks or small valleys" in spanish).

We're impressed with BMCC. The DR, colors, sensitivity and general "look" from DNG are amazing.





DNG Workflow maybe slow for a little production: 600 GB dailies, 2 or 3 days rendering to ProRes in my humble iMac 27".
A 125 GB SDD means 12-15 minutes..., so "bye bye video welcome back cinema art of shooting"!
Think before shoot, folks!

ProRes maybe is the great option for low budget, we'll test it next work. Film mode is really impressive, too!

Two question to improve the camera software, please.

1) Why we can not record DNG via Thunderbolt? Only HD, but SDD is ok for HD shooting; external DNG recording would be great.

2) Why we can not delete clips in camera?

And a tip: be careful with low speed SDD disks... Frames lost!!!

regards

Thanks for sharing!
Just out of curiosity:

What would be the advantage of recording DNG externally when you can do it internally?

Probably: recording to larger/cheaper RAID arrays, editing directly from those RAIDs later (saving time).

That's right.
More storage capacity and no transfer delay.
