enny

Hi guys i would like to get in to this television, shooting, graphic industry working for a small or big television company/studio. I really don't have any experience in this industry. I did go to film school back in 2003 for a year it was OK interesting my major was sound design and editing. I have my own home studio with Pro grading monitor with Wave - Tangent black magic cinema camera some prime lenses. For past years i been learning color grading, motion design, cinematography, shooting and editing on my own and its gong good. Now i would like to break in to the industry. When research jobs in my area Toronto area of course studios are looking demo reel should i show them my personal work or should i shoot few fake commercials and ew music videos go with that how would you approach this situation
 

Thanks or your help guys much appreciated

I'll bet on that production it was all on set.

you right just got message from director (we used the actors voice from the set plus some work in post to clean them)

Thanks guys so voice that was captured on set is used in final film and not recorded in post?

I been watching so many short film and have noticed that lots of them use sounds captured on set by the camera or microphone f some sort and that just takes me right out of the film. because it does not sound right. I know that sound fx like footsteps and so on are done in post but is it same for voice do they capture voice ob set then they do one more final pass in the studio?

Below is the example what i mean by nice crisp voice

Thanks guys

That is why i gor BMCC few days ago awsome image, and just bit of a joke and fun

It's great that they've now got at least 8 record buttons, but I'm not sure if the placement is ideal from a usability point of view. As a helmet cam on a mountain bike those things could be inadvertently triggered by twigs and blowflies.

 

hahahahahahahhahhha

So far it can only do 720p

Hi guys i am looking to get a SDI to HDMI from my mini monitor to my monitor to get full 10 bit i seen some 50 to 30 dollars converters and some 150 is there a difference between 50 and 150

Dude... Its a movie and in movies there are flashes, ammo lasts forever and you can shoot point blank from the hip on full auto.
I'm no astronaut but I'm sure the Millennium Falcon wouldn't be able to make the Kessel Run in less than twelve parsecs either

muzzle flash yes but not that flashy any how WTF what is a aluminum falcon

15$ - red paint

It is the excellent idea. I wanted to make something similar. 
But the drone very badly works at a frost. For this reason of shooting have dragged on for 1.5 month. Once the drone was broken against a wall.
Therefore we have decided not to do difficult tricks with the drone.

GoPro3

gun flash is small) 

 

My friend from police has told what without the reflected flashes looks isn't realistic.
Perhaps a little overdone

muzzle flash is fine not the flash on the snow and ground its like taking a flash photo

all around good job but one point guns dont make that big of a flash mostly non at all specially in bright day light. I have some exp with guns/military what i would do is have bullet penetrate the body skull and hit the snow and see the impact in the snow. But still awesome job

Not sure how well that converter is going to do for you, as I've never used one. But I do own a VS-2, and love it. It's not color/contrast accurate, but it's big and sharp and affordable, and offers all the necessary focus/exposure tools.

VS2 is it sdi or hdmi

I really dont want to spend 500 i am just looking for focusing zoom in zoom out and framing and specially when shooting anamorphic. I think vs is good enough for me but it comes with so many options but no sdi only hdmi but 10 dollars ebay sdi to hdmi converter takes care of that i just know if you loose resolution when using hdmi to sdi

Pretty cool color grade enny. Was the clothing color chosen beforehand, so it would almost appear it was in black and white?

Ha!  "Hormoans" That's awesome.  Well, I suppose that local-band stuff probably hasn't changed much since I was spitting bubblegum.

yeah i know

Black magic pocket shoots raw and ProRes . I shoot no budget music video like no money at all and it was awesome to work in ProRes. this small camera is amazing specially with metabone speedbooster. If you are serious about raw dynamic range and color grading this camera is way to go. Just my 2 cents.

Here is that music video with no budget done in 6h

Hi guys looking to buy Aputure V-Screen 2 that i will use with BMCC since this monitor is HDM and using a converter box since BM does not have hdm would there be any issues with resolution. I am not looking for pro and color accuracy just anamorphic viewing or cropping and focusing. Wondering if it will work in raw mode.

Thanks

Do you guys use light meters at all in your production and how important are they?

I think the BMCC MFT is an excellent camera! And better than many of the other alternative options.

However... I struggle to see the point in it when I could instead buy a much better BMMCC for **less** money! :-o

For me personally I think I BMCC MFT would have to be falling down into the $600ish range before I'd consider it to be a good solid almost automatic buy.

again tell me just for the sake of it how is BMMCCis better cam it has the best dynamic range and look of all of them except ursa . Place a speedboster on bmcc and you have s35 but any how i dont want camera war each to its own as they say or something like that

PS you cant even find BMPCC for 600 on ebay

The BMCC is such an old body now I doubt it would be covered by warranty. 

Why are you looking at a BMCC anyway? (hope it is MFT and not EF!!)

I'd rather look into getting a BMMCC instead. 

 

edit: oh wait... just remembered the username, we've had this discussion before :-P

 

Lol Hi Ironfilm yes we did and MFT well its old body i guess but still shoots beautiful raw 2.5 raw images how many cams can do that? and lets not forget dynamic range in that price range? on top of that speed booster s35mm I will pay 1300 for the cam with SSD and cage. Any how just thinking about warranty

Hi guys thanks for reply quick question i am in the process of buying one from bay with ssd for 1300. If i buy used and have any issues like, flicker, banding that was reported. Will BM take back the camera for repair? even though i am not original owner.

And should i be looking for late releases of camera instead of early first batch which was reported to have issues how does one check when it was released is there serial number check type of thing

Thanks guy

In March 2015 - I already had the Pocket - I saw this on Vimeo (shot with BMCC and BMPCC):

Just as an example.

Yes, and I have seen people 'shitting'. Right now there is a discussion between Brawley and some professor Kino, like a fight of Jaeger vs. Kaiju. Entertaining though these arguments are (for a while), they don't help much. With video I rather trust my eyes. If what I see pleases me, that's all I need to know. Then I read reports on the problems and how they can be solved.

I seen that one long time back its also really good

Bags of dynamic range, superb 2.5K image.

Shame they dumped it in the bin afterwards and never updated the camera properly.

URSA is a totally different beast!!

Did anybody ever say anything else?

The subject of this film seems to be the stream of consciousness, which is, but not just, a narrative mode. As I see it, it's the way one actually thinks.

... and the filmmaker, as is his job, erodes the boundaries between an actor seen as a motif on screen and our inner screen, bewildering concept, but this art's bread and butter.

The title reminded me of  Gaspar Noé's Enter The Void. Or Down The Rabbit Hole or Through The Looking Glass. Or A Descent into the Maelström.

A good title is hard to find. This one 's great, promises a real adventure. Looking forward to see the whole film.

Did anybody ever say anything else?

Yes they did lost of people shitting on lots of cameras but any how.

Not really, no.

Yes perhaps you can pick it out sometimes in side by side tests but practically speaking that never happens in reality. So in real life usage it would be almost close to impossible to tell the difference. 

 

And ditto there is no real notable difference between the two in terms of control over DoF.

Not trying to be an ass but i think you are misinformed but you probably know more about cameras then me. But after watching this short its confirm it to me that BMCC is much sharper then BMPCC in 2.5k will upscale to UHD really nice and downscalin to 1080 like this video look dam good. And again Thanks for all your help all of you guys
