  1. I did a quick lighting/grading/fake s16 test:

    Love it man i just finished watching black swan and gran/noise from bmpcc is pretty much same as super16 film that black swan was shoot on. i don't get that video fell from your video at all so filmic specially 2 sec in. Super awesome man

    @Matt Kieley

    Congratulations on your new BMPCC.  Nice video.

     

    A friendly warning, just in case you are unaware:  the micro-HDMI connector on the BMPCC is extremely delicate.  It can be hopelessly destroyed with the slightest pull on your HDMI cable.

     

    Don't use an HDMI cable without some form of serious strain relief on the cable, such as a cage with an HDMI cable/connector clamp:

    Cable-Lock-BMPCC-Varavon-Cage-HDMI-300x2

     

    You could also use a flimsy, gimbal HDMI cable tied-off to some part of the cage or tripod head.

    what cage is that

  2. Hi guys wen to local vintage camera store and in the basement i found those tag say movie lights they are extremely strong light source and i was wondering if they can be used in production. Found something similar on eBay Acme Lite Movie Photography Light Unit 2 GE Photo Bulbs 375 Watt. There is yellow sticker in the back what aperture to use

  4. I been at local Best buy and was watching transformers and hurt locker on 4k TV whys is the picture so bad as in so clean so crisp and does not have that film fell and look that HD TV has it look and fells like they used every nois reduction plugin and crank it up with sharpens way up

  5. You where getting ripped of, a mount for Yashica is €100 :)

    But mine takes Nikon and need no more accessories. 

    Regarding hard drive space, I love how little space it eats. Compared to the BMCC its a vegitarian :)

    But I get your points. Its as always all down to personal situation, needs, preference, etc.

    If we take the URSA.Its first of all much more expensive. Probably twice or three times the cost after all the accessories. 

    A used URSA or URSA mini 4K body only is more than I payed for a fully rigged Red with media, EVF, Monitor, etc.

    And if I rigg out an URSA I have a camera with very smilar specs. Both shoot Raw, bot have high fps Raw etc. Seize and weight.. yeah the URSA mini 4K might be a little lighter but its heavy enough for me not to exactly run around with it. And its lower DR etc.

    But the the reason that made the final push is the Red codec. It is crazy nice to work with. Specially if you have Final Cut (which I very recently switched to).
    You can use Resolve, Reds free grading software or simply import in Final Cut with access to Raw settings.
    But what really sets it apart from the BMD Raw is that it flows. If I use 4.5K Raw (crazy) WITHOUT creating proxies or optimized media, its pretty much real time playback. On a base model 
    Macbook.

    You where getting ripped of, a mount for Yashica 100 can i see the link

    I know i could have use all star universal mount 320 Canadian 430 plus CY mount another 180 all come to 700+tax shipping my point is it cost money and it wont make me any money at this point in my life and i don't have  money to burn. But like BMPCC any cam that shoots raw needs quite a lot of post workflow. So seeing instant results and judging them is quite complicated and requires skills in post production to verify you're doing well in the shooting department and if you don't have dedicated monitor like FSI to grade your shoots then i don't see a point of buying an such expensive camera just to learn i am talking about my self. I was told on red user that such cameras really shine when you have proper set design and cinematography lights ect. I was also told by a pro on that forum. I recently shot with bmpcc  and out of the box i was pleasantly surprised it shoots 10 bit, 4:2:2 in Prores HQ and also shoots RAW 12bit, which is prefect for you to play with the colour in post. it also got more dynamic range or at least the same as RED from what I saw, defiantly in RAW it's the same, but highlight rolloff is nicer on BMPCC.  

  6. I Bought one and sold one last year camera is awesome all the shooting options but he forgot to mention that it take up to 96 seconds for it to power up it eats batteries power for breakfast no to mention space on HD. i know camera is a professional and PL mount now you need Pl lenses in my case i cant rent every time i like to shoot or experiment i got family to feed :) I was thinking i can get use my Yashica lenses well on top of 10k i spend on camera i was looking for another $2350 for 2 mounts that will enable me to use my yashica lenses pretty much anything for that camera from a screw to extra battery or is above 500 dollars. And lets not forget the weight of the camera. Felling that i got from the camera that i head for entire 2 months is that its a 2 man job to operate i was always asking my wife to hold this hold that. Then i went to shoot outside charge the batteries got a Zeiss Compact Prime 35mm 300$ a day by the time camera power up one batteries was half gone i got 22 min of shooting and 36 minutes in standby mode. Then wanted to buy bigger battery but 450 US dollars that is 620 Canadian it just adds up. And lets not foget you nedto to spend some money on a HD space for your computer or a brand new computers since you are working with red raw its fine to play with one file or one shoot but wen you start editing short films or music videos in 4.5k or even HD it cost money.

    So what did i buy with 10k a color correcting station (something like in that pic) beefy computer BMPCC, lights, glidecam400  kowa B&H davinci resolve. My main goal is the learning the art. I know that MX shoot nice pictures but if i cant view those images properly on a dedicated monitor or grade them and see what i am doing wrong i might as well get a grading station and BMPCC which shoots raw and i can see exactly what i am doing with color and scopes. BMPCC is not MX but its dam close when it comes to image and what you can do with it. But if everything goes according to plan next year purchase will be red scarlet camera they go for for abut 7k to 10k. but still i am jealous that he has red mx its a great camera for right person just not for me
