    Do I constructively criticize you by starting with a string of insults? No!

    I have no public image to cultivate and I'm not interested in invitations to events. You want to be perceived in a certain way. It's important to you to be considered important. I'm just letting you know how you often come across and how that can get in the way of what you want. No malice intended on my part.

    I have zero to gain by talking to you Kieran. I know a troll when I see one!

    Actually as I said before, I wasn't trying to be snidey but to genuinely help you out. If for example, I was looking to work with a person on a project, my criteria would be have they got talent? - but also - can I get on with this person?

    What else are these fuckers hiding from me!

    You've always got to hide the hash ?

    This comment is a disgrace. Why do you expect to continue to profit from my site in terms of your camera knowledge, whilst being so personally aggressive?

    There is a big difference between critiquing the video of a music video producer on your own forum, to going into his house and calling him resentful, spiteful and with a grudge against the world.

    You see - there you go taking offence again.  I certainly wasn't being aggressive. If calling for tolerance and kindness is an act of aggression, then I guess we should be very concerned about that dangerous Dalai Lama fellow.

    I am not slating the guy. K-pop videos are just not my artistic bent. I know it is the Trump-era and people are a little sensitive about criticism just like him. You can't seem to critique the work of someone these days without it coming across as you hating the living daylights of the person who made it. I certainly don't hate.

    I just like to think objectively, that something like this from me, aimed at 800,000 camera users, would have been more useful and Blackmagic would have sold more units. But what the fuck do I know?

    Andrew, you do often come across as someone who is resentful, intolerant, often spiteful, takes offence easily and with a grudge against the world. 

    I think if you were a nicer person, you know, showed kindness, tolerance, humility (unfashionable traits as they are these days), then you might get invited to more events. 

    I don't mean that in any kind of snide or sarcastic way. I'm serious.

    Digital Bolex footage really stands out as something special everytime & such a shame it all went belly up. There is a film on Netflix shot entirely on the DB - "Hashtag Horror" (sorry no symbol for hashtag on my keyboard - fucking macs, suppose apple don't want anyone going on twitter being mean to them!)

    Try hitting 'alt' and '3' to get the #

    OK, didn't read that, so might be interesting, but he could have just shot it twice - not as if he was making a narrative piece!  God forbid we get any slow-mo stuff!

    Have you seen his previous one 'Bubble Gum'?  Plenty of slow-mo in there.

    The purpose of the Dreamcatcher footage was to show how closely the BMPCC4k footage could be graded to match the 'classic' BMD look of the original Pocket or Micro.  Personally I am glad that the shots are quite ordinary so that I can judge them properly.  If it was shot in slow motion at golden hour, it would look cinematic but then nearly everything shot in slow motion at golden hour looks cinematic anyway. The shooter had a Micro mounted on top of the BMPCC4K and that direct comparison footage is supposed to be coming sometime soon.

    I'm skeptical  

    I can make a video and say it's made with this camera too and it seems like a good way to get views. Jus' Sayn'

     

    Seems legit. They have posted pics on Facebook of their camera setup at the zoo (basically handheld with a Samsung SSD). As well as shots of it on a crane for use in a k-pop music video.

    All these lack of “mojo” comments are really silly.  People will be able to color grade it to match just about any look they want. 

    'Mojo' for me anyway isn't about the grade. I love the BMD colour science shown in the examples.

    I think the only reason it looks less organic is that basically every clip besides the Balloon one is sharpened and looks like a simple BMD Log to Rec709 conversion was applied.

    Is there a way to turn down sharpening in camera?

    No it's not. The film making business is about careful planning and polish as is the case with making food. Film and food consumption are about gut reactions... the second more literally than the first.  

    Well as we are talking about initial reactions to the footage served up to us, that's the equivalent of consuming isn't it?

    i feel I have to stress that I'm not hating on this camera at all. The image has just got a different feel to their previous releases which was a bit of a surprise -  but I am looking forward to working with it. The camera is a absolute steal for what it offers.
