Official "Look what I shot!" Thread

I shot some video footage of a model photoshoot a few weeks ago with the BMPCC. I used the Canon FD 28mm 2.8 for all shots.

A couple of 'happy shots'... dogs and trains...

Dogs


Trains


Blackmagic Pocket, ISO200, ND8, F/11, 23.97 fps/180 deg. Resolve graded, Premiere 'sharpen 50'.

Another review I did for a Chinese Flashlight manufacturer named Skilhunt. Shot in mostly natural light, with a combination of the Panasonic GH3 and the BMPCC. Glass in the way of vintage MD and K mount lenses, with a C-mount TV lens thrown in for good measure. Graded in Color and edited in FCP7. I know that there's some strobing in the headlamp, but trying every shutter angle in the BMPCC did not help. It's an odd frequency PWM- that said the Christmas lights were also strobing, but I was able to adjust my shutter angle for those. No noise reduction on any of the night shots.

Tried the old Sigma 30mm F1.4 for some 4K Raw.
Actually had to darken the footage after sunset in post.

Mattias, those shots later in the day from about the 2' mark are outstanding.

Hi everyone,
I posted this a few days ago... but had to delete it because the video had some typos in the subtitles. *Fixed

This is an early trailer of my first feature, shot last year 2014 between May and August, in Santiago, Chile. This trailer is made with the prores LT we use as proxy for editing... so color correction is actually just an early test...
Written, produced and directed by me and my wife.

"A Man Interested in Justice"
The story is about Alejandro (Martin Castillo), a young writer with some frustration , who should write children's stories for a living, but the news of a crime that occurred near his home obsesses him, and what begins as a detective story turns into a reality, to discover their deepest desires, fears and interests, which leads him to lie to his partner, get involve with another woman and sets to discover the murderer.

Very nice as always Mattias. I'll echo what Rick said - Really nice looking dusk footage.

Thanks Rick! (EDIT: And Mike )
I had some luck with the weather that day. Got much cleander lowlight than I expected.

I think its mainly the Raw instead of my usual prores but.. I might imagine this but I feel like I can push the Raw way more when using the Visioncolor BMDFilm converter instead of just Adobe Camera Raw.

Will do some tests of it.

So far I haven't had the chance to shoot anything serious with my BMPC, apart from stuff like this:

Basically montages.. It's a lovely camera though!

Edit: Just posted this one,

- Gorgeous sunset from our balcony.

Very nice Joakim! I see a lot of folks making these kinds of "tests" and one of the things I like about them is I get to see other countries or areas of my own country. In the case of yours, a view of a Swedish winter. Something I am not likely to experience

Over the Christmas holiday, my wife had to work (and I had 2 weeks off) and she asked me to test the black dot issue on the camera for her and see what the post process was for removing it. So I went out on Christmas day and also 2 days later and just shot some footage around the town I live in here in CA. It's a little farming village just north of Los Angeles. It was warm compared to your Swedish winter though (1.1c/34f).

Thanks Mike!

I agree, looking at "postcards" like this is a fun way of seeing new places, yours looks amazing btw!
I envy the snow-free roads, and green grass.. Uhh, summer please come back soon.

Hey Awesome Thread here!!

alright, wanna share with you guys also a blackmagic Clip!

here we go, our Blackmagic 4k Cinematic Reel!

Awesome reel, Vi-Dan Tran! VERY nice!

Wyrd posting error... deleted in favor of the second post...

Thanks Mike!

While we do have snow free roads, that green grass turns brown by May/June, unless it's someone's lawn or a golf course... ok maybe some parks... but in general the hills turn brown for most of the year.

The traditional growing season, before irrigation projects allowed for year round growing in Southern California (see "Chinatown"(1974) for a fictionalized version of the water wars), started about now, and ended about May/June.

Los Angeles is at about the same latitude as Casablanca in Morocco.

Yup. This is Moorpark in June:

Wow, suddenly I'm not that envious.. That looks really sad to be honest.

It's the desert! I took that shot with my iPhone from the parking lot of the Ronald Regan Presidential library.

Wow, suddenly I'm not that envious.. That looks really sad to be honest.

I go berserk when I'm in 'green/tree' country, because I can't see 20-30 miles in to the distance without climbing some tall mountain... LA area has smog/haze, but once one gets north or south east of there, the vistas open up...

Hey guys I just had the change to shoot with the Canon 70-200 f/2.8 IS L USM lens with my BMCC for about an hour so I just wanted to share what I filmed! I had it for a gig I had to shoot later that day so I took it out for some test shots! hop you guys like it!

Hi,

Here's a music video I shot recently with the BMCC 2.5K MFT in RAW. The lenses used were Ultra Prime Distagon 10mm T2.1, SLRMagic HyperPrime 12mm T1.6, Carl Zeiss Distagon T* 35mm T2.8 and a Carl Zeiss Planar T* 50mm T1.7. Macro shots were done using Opteka-diopters (+1, +2, +4, +10). The CZ-lenses were used both with and without a Metabones Speedbooster.

Editing & color grading done fully in Resolve 11. Fluid simulations were baked and rendered in Blender 3D using the Blender Cycles renderer. Compositing was done in Foundry's Nuke.



I would love to hear some feedback!

2 years with my BMCC. Here's my reel.

All the footage shot with a BMCC. Shorts, commercials and promos.



Thanks for watching!

love it! lovely cinematography. Did you use any filters on your lenses? I notice very smooth skin

ove it! lovely cinematography. Did you use any filters on your lenses? I notice very smooth skin

Thanks Ollie!

No filters but Tiffen NDIR ones, necessary to work at high apertures. The soft skin is that for the Samyang lenses, very smooth. Personally I love this cinematic effect, so different from still looks, but it's just about my taste.

Anyway, you can achieve a lot of more details with these lenses, just pushing the midtone details from DaVinci.

A couple of seconds of footage from my BMCC of who other than my dog Gunpowder made it into a Commercial.
She is at 0:12.
Shoot with a BMCC EF and Tamron 17-50/2.8 in Prores.
If I recall correctly its graded in MB Looks, it was just post my DSLR days.

Our band video is ready.

Share and press "like" if you like it.
And if you don't like it, share it anyway to show anybody how bad it is.

I would love to hear some feedback!

it is excellent! nicely paced. I hate most music videos and can't get myself trying another one. This one has a good feel for the song. How did you come up with the idea, and the storyboard?

I tried a little infomercial type production in a restaurant.

Shot with bmpc in 4k. Bower 16mm, 85mm cinelenses, canon 50mm 1.8. Difficult color balance situation, with many tungstens and windows.
Compared to some others, that camera is pretty difficult to use in this situation, when you cannot disturb the activity, and order the personnel to act for the camera... ..no high iso either, and setting up lights is pretty much out of the question... I was good that time but I risk getting into darker joints... I kind of think it would be a lot easier with a 7d?.... or C100? ..anyway capturing doc style action without autofocus is something on a super35. I feel I would have to close the restaurant, light it up, and use comedians, repeat takes.. to really deliver something nicer.

I already shared this video my friends made, now it's available with english subtitles as well!

Pretty beautiful, Gabe. Took me a while to realize it's a vision, but having the flowering tree got me on the right track. And then the nymph... Definitely a vision.

Thanks Rick!

Here is what I shot while trekking around volcanoes in Hawaii with my BMPCC, along with the Sigma 18-35, 50 Art and Tokina 11-16.

Something I just finished for a Michigan website. It has a zombie.

One of our latest fashion projects.
Produced in Munich for L'Officel Suisse in 4K.

A video I shot last summer but sat on the footage until this month.

It's the first thing I shot with my BMPCC and I was in the right place at the right time.

No ND filter at the time, hence the blown out shots.

Matt

We shot this a couple weeks ago, simple setup with BMCC and some ND filters. Used a drone and Gopro for a couple of the shots, but 90% of it was BMCC. Warning, NSFW, the safe for work version is below.

The NSFW version was very entertaining. Deserves a million views! No interest in what the other version was like.

Hey everyone,

Something I shot & cut together last week.

You don't need the 'iframe' HTML business just drop the Vimeo URL in and the preview and player window should come up automagically, using the following 'short' format URL:

http:<slash><slash>vimeo.com/120331640 (for this example replace <slash> with the actual "/" character...)

Nice, thank you John.

Started doing some product videos for a website using the BMPCC. It's shot, edited, written, graded, and hosted by me. I know there's a lot left to be desired in terms of lighting, but I'm starting out with just a bunch of old lenses I've found at thrift stores and garage sales. I definitely need an IR cut... but I just bought some lighting, so the next one should look better considering the basement light was a 250w home depot work light. I seriously need a monitor though, because my focusing stand in is a hand truck with a broom duct taped to it. Another note, need a new lens in the 25mm range, because this one is way too soft at 2.8.

Oh and I shot this today too. It's a lens test of stuff around the house. I believe I paid about $5 for the lens, it's a Gemini 25mm Pentax 2.8. It's soft inside at 2.8 and 800iso, but it looks fine outdoors. Just a calm montage of a warm Spring day.

Gym and personal trainer promo video I made over the weekend. BMCC EF 2.5K, SmallHD AC-7, Switronix PB-70, Canon 17-40 and 70-200. Enjoy!

Nice work, Jason. The shot choices pulled us right in to the workouts.

Hi all,

For whoever is curious, we are shooting a lot of event films, mainly fashion shows and launches, all on 3x BMCC EF, 1x BMCC MTF, 5x BMPCC (There might be some GoPro's and 5d's or c300 mixed into it). Some are live edits and live streams. We are trying to keep all films listed on our Facebook page, so if you are interested please have a look:

Nice work, Jason. The shot choices pulled us right in to the workouts.

Thanks, Rick. As heavy as that rig gets, I tried not to show it in front of the client's superior exhaustion.

Hey everyone, this is my 1st post. Long time lurker and finally decided to join the community and make an account. Wanted to show you guys a music video I shot on the BMCC. All the slow motion storyline stuff was shot on an AF100 while all the performance bits were shot on the BMCC. Wish the BMCC shot slow motion, but we all wish that. Thanks!
