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!!

I want another BMCC 2.5K!

i benn looking at ursa and even bmpc4k they are to sharp and dont have thet pocket and BMCC fell grain film look

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

How abut we stop arguing over what camera and do some work

I been looking to get BMCC confirmed it for me it for me that Excellent and Proof that the BMCC 2.5k is more than enough camera for a capable filmmaker.

Seriously enny?? That is an incredibly clueless statement to shit on Arri cameras because of their resolution. 

Maybe Kino is from Egypt?

Personally I feel the sensor size (especially once combined with a focal reducer) and resolution between a BMCC and BMPCC/BMMCC is so minimumal it is not worth giving up all the benefits of a smaller size AND paying more for a BMCC! It is a lose-lose proposition. 

dont you think BMDCC is better. Shooting 2.5k Raw on a bigger sensor and then reducing down to 1080 gives you a much cleaner image than the Pocket camera's 16mm sensor shooting direct to 1080. The BMDCC's larger sensor also makes it easier to get shallow depth of field and bokeh.

While looking at tons of review videos i can tell that BMCC is more sharp then BMPCC when shooting2.5k and down scaling to 1080. Just take a look at the roof shingles they are much sharper in BMCC 1080 then pocket and trees in pocket are really soft then BMCC. I am not a pro just what i see

With all due respect, John, and I really appreciate all the work you have done for the online community and your championing of the BMCC, but you are a brand ambassador at this point for Blackmagic.

Whether or not Kino is just regurgitating things he learned on google, you can't call him an "idiot."  And you shouldn't really swear.

It looks bad not just on you, but on blackmagic.

I remember being on reduser and Jarred Land starting swearing at people and so did Chris something, a DP, who uses red a lot on music videos with Taylor Swift. The whole thing left a bad taste in my mouth and I'm sure other people who want to learn more about blackmagic.

I apologize if I have dug too hard into blackmagic.

I love Resolve - I use it constantly.  And I have used a pocket camera on some commercials and even the 4k camera on an Infinity car commercial.

Their cameras are amazing.

Right now, it seems that they are having an issue with their flagship camera.  And more than I knew.  I was only commenting on the build of the ursa mini 4.6k.

Anyway I understand why you are upset - you probably know the team behind the camera personally.  So it's like someone throwing shade at you personally.

Anyway I apologize.

This isn't about Arri and their inability to move to 4k to compromise dynamic range on their cameras - this is about an image issue with BM and for me, their camera's ergonomics which now I think is probably okay.  

What image issues?

resolution between 1080 and 2.5k? i there a really big difference specially raw

And those arri cameras are shit they only shoot 2.8k or something and dont get me started on panavision cameras

Why 2.5K raw? It is a very oddball number!

 

What lenses do you have currently? 

I already have bmpcc with CY Lens to Micro Four Thirds Speed Booster its great camera but i am looking for something closer to s35 and bigger resolution since i am also doing some VFX and on my 2k budget this camera will do me good. I Only do personal controlled projects. I also have Yashica ML set of prime lenses full frame 2.8. I was looking at this review and this guy knows his stuff. And I love working with raw files color vfx ect. And under 2k i can get BMCC fully loaded with resolve on eBay or local not bad deal for great camera

Get yourself a Blackmagic Micro Cinema Camera. The more compact form factor, 60fps slow motions, are all big gains over the BMCC. (2.5K is only in raw from the BMCC, at all other times it is 1080 same as BMPCC/BMMCC(

 

Get native mount lenses (such as the T0.95 lenses from SLR Magic) or use a focal reducer (for near FoV of S35).

(reference: I own a BMPCC, shot part of a feature film with a RED One MX, and use a BMCC as well)

Thanks but i am looking for 2.5 raw and dont care about slow motion at all and dont have money to spend on new lenses working with what i have

Check this out. I just picked up a BMCC MFT 2.5K and put a spare BMPCC speedbooster on it. 1.39x crop.

Here is a FOV comparison between the BMPCC and BMCC. same pocket speed booster, same 28mm full frae lens. this set-up *does* require the use of full frame lenses by the way. aps-c will vignette.

Thanks Zak i have yahsica Ml 2.8 lenses they are full frame so basically my Contax Yashica Lens to Micro Four Thirds Speed Booster will work on MFT BMCC and not EF just to get this clear, i am buying BMCC tomorrow and was thinking do i need whole new speed booster specially made for BMCC or will my old one work just fine. And i can see big difference in pocket and BMCC with SB so much room

Thanks Again Zak much appreciated dude
