I watched it yesterday and my comment didnt save. So my even greater pleasure now to express my joy and appreciation for your short film. I loved everything about it, the energy the rhythm, the visuality and shot design. Classic genre style in classy quality. I dont mind the rather "realistic" as opposed to stylised grades. I know the material could have been graded into many thinkable directions. Great stuff, thanks and keep em coming! cheers:) Btw, had some troubles with saving my comment again. Has been like that for me a few times lately.

Could be due to your tripod plate. I never had any problems with mounting plates. Still it is a lack in design to only provide one crew hole on hybrid video/photo cams. I really don´t like the mounting experience with my much heavier Lumix S1. Anyway, a cage would provide great mounting strength, but takes away from the graceful appearance and light footrpint of the camera. Maybe check for different plates I would imagine.:)

I´m sorry for your loss, Danilo. my kindest regards to you and your family

@projectwoofer i really enjoyed the images and the color palette. Especially liked the shots at 1.04 and the ones right after, great muted tones and lensing. What aperture did you film these with? The Mitakon seems like a winner. I didnt mind some blown highlights, as I really digged the overall palette and mute you achieved. Keep em coming.

Thanks mate. Will watch it tomorrow. I liked your video from last year, so I'm sure this one will also be great. I read Gh5s had an update for external braw with a 12g bmva. Anyway, looking forward to be watching your video tomorrow.

@John Matthews I own the high resolving 20mm 1.7. The 14mm is even higher resolving and one of the sharpest m43 lenses. Kinda interested in it as well. I just don´t like fly by wire focus. But who really does.:)

As colorgrader I have seen terrible artefacts in 2K 12bit 444 when extremely underexposed, looks like 5DII then. Not a joke though hard to believe. As colorgrader I have also seen fantastic possibilities in grading when sufficiently exposed. Give it some light, dear Canon users.:)

Good question, the right one for our friend and sound master @IronFilm

@kye yes it covers it in 4K mode and in 4K photo mode. 16to9 with slighty dark corners. Love this lens, colour rendition is fantastic and threedimensionalty is terrific. Little lens was recommended to me by our friend mercer.

@mercer S35 has a faster sensor readout, 15ms vs 22ms. 4K 50/60p is 10bit 420. S35 is still even using a bit more than a 1to1 readout I think. It´s a powerful image taker but takes some effort in grading. I have a S1, same sensor and all, just no swivel screen and full Hdmi. S35 gives me the opportunity to use some s16 lenses covering S35 sensor size.

Didnt know, it hat aliasing. Same with FS700 with internal HD, which produced aliasing in the hightlights during a corporate gig. Maybe the problem which occured to him has to do with his use of the Ninja V. I got a Blackmagic VA for the F3. So I still have to test that, some time soon hopefully! Did you guys recognize nasties with external recording?

One tasty read! Thank you very much. Quality and fun stuff. Very grateful, puts a warm feeling in my heart n mind! I think Lumix cams have a great colour palette as a start for grading, that´s G6, G7, GX85 and GH5 from my experience. S1 is a bit trickier to grade, with superiour possiblities and wiggle room but also more chance of hitting the wrong note so to say. GX85 is a beauty. Too bad is starts producing mudd under lower light conditions. But lighting for 800iso and F2.8 still gives perfect results, 1600 is limit under sufficient light.

@kye, darn, these beach colors of yours are awesome. Looks like from higher end cam. i love mine with my fuji 12mm cmount but always need to grade it. maybe its, because i always dial the color temp in manually and dont do white balance. how did you do it? cheers

love it. wondering if dv cam look or at least 480p from a ccd would have worked as well. Content is queen n king in your video. Of course with DV or any old school camcorder format the highlights would have been really ugly but some HD scanlines in Post would work.:) Anyway, nicely shot and edited. Sommer, Sonne, Kaktus! 🙂

great write ups, kye. thanks! my dream lens is a zoom lens. just not sayin which one at the moment, just lemme check ebay again:) would love a 2x or 3x s16 lens for my bmmcc cuby. anyone?

Would love some more love for Canon 5d raw on this forum. Rather than topics about tech journalists. I used to enjoy Jordan and Chris. But my fascination for new cameras was the highest in the days of the gh2, gh3 and gh4, with some G6 magic inbetween. This cam tech youtube stuff is super videoish with dull images and astera lights of boredom most of the time. Kye discussed the phenomenon of microfilms and leisure time filming pleasures, personal vignettes with a personal and intimate approach. These tech channels do not inspire that. Jordan and Chris made many exiting videos for the camerastore but they were depending on the pioneering times of 5Ds, GH cameras and so on. Now its just a race for the lazy image with dynamic range overkill and pixel madness.

Darn me, and i still have not used my F3 yet. Cannot wait to try this beauty! I wanted to use it on a shortfilm but the director wanted the c300ii. I sneaked in a bit of GH5 and S1 though.:)

Like paint, exactely. Like oil paint. "Native color temperature" for the sensor is at 5600K, right? I know, that Panny hybrid cameras love Tungsten. And BM 2.5K performed awesome under HMI, which I used as a gaffer. Itś amazing how pricey the small part from smallrig are. Guess I have to pay the good money for the tiny monitor swivel. One thing comes to mind regarding focussing motors for C-mount lenses. Seems like it could be necessary to glue the MFT adapter onto the lenses wo it wont become loose from using the focussing gear. Lets make a challenge without being challenging but being engaging and inspiring. Inspiring, what an overused word it is.:) Anyway, would love to see BMMCC BMPCC OG footage from all of you, @BenEricson@kye@mercer@bjohn and anyone! cheers:)

Thanks, that´s a great recommendation. I got one with the package, also a control port breakout box, so could feed the cam with external power, if I understand it right. HDMI clamp, also from radioprotektor (Dmitry), came with it as well and the beautiful Rawlite filter. @bjohn I got my test footage withing the necessities of shooting from f8 to f2 at native iso Now, hopefully testing with overlays from camera will give my battery status and recording time. If not, questions needs to be answered by you guys:) I will upload my test footage in two weeks. Right now too much things to do. But what a beautiful camera indeed! My tests includ some improvised belly jib contstruction. Was filming some film buddies messing with cameras. What a great leisure time acitivity! Oh, @mercer, used the beautiful 12mm Fujinon for my first test shots. First time on its original Super16 crop. Finally and awesome!:)

Hey, so I received my Blackmagic Micro with the Rawlite Oplf. Dang, that beauty puts out a beautiful image! But quirky it is. So here are my questions. How do I get battery status and running time for the SD card? Both won´t show on my blackmagic video assist. By the way, when the battery is empty, the small tally blinks. So how to I get this beauty to show battery and SD card status on the monitor? This camera is easy to grade. But I think the Rawlite Oplf seems an obligation. I graded IR poluted material from the mini 4.6K. Prores 4444 material which was worse to grade than an A7s2 SLOG2 shot at night. I am not kidding! With the OPLF I shot without ND. But colors looked so overwhelmingly beautyful that I assume the OPLF with IR cut was working its wonders, even without testing it with NDs. My S1 seems hard to grade compared to the BMMCC. Though S1 is very impressive in HLG when filmed in lowlight and with lit scenes I must say.

Same for me, G6 with sharpness on -2 had my favorite HD image. GH5 has pixel perfect HD. G7 has even better HD than G6. I own both of the G7 cameras and have filmed a lot with the GH5, so coming from my own experience. I love my GX85. With lit scenes I love Natural a picture profile, also when grading will be considered. For outside and out of the box for every day use I prefer Vivid. I dial saturation and contrast to +3, sharpness and noise reduction all the way down to -5. GX85 with G6 or G7 HD quality with 100mbit would be fantastic enough for all my private filming.

@HockeyFan12 I feel you. It is not that easy to get great color out of the S1 under all conditions. I felt it was best with lit sets. Might sound akward, since the sensor is exellent in low light. It responds much better under tungsten than under HMI. GH5 in my experience was much easier to grade. Could be to the larger color space of the S1 vs GH5. GH5 offering Rec709 even in V-Log L, S1 offering V Gammut. I bought a BMMCC and I like the colour palette for daylight very much. But that thing is indeed a tricky beast, not even giving my battery status on my BMVA monitor.:) So, pick your apple juice, I guess.. @austinchimp The right camera on the screenshot whispers: It's me, your beautiful Lumix S1.:)

I love my GX85. The colours are great once graded. Love the palette and grading is pretty easy for this little beauty. It is very tactile and ergonomic body, great pleasure to use with many great features, such as 4K photo for 4to3 and 1to1 ration filming with 4Kish resolution. 2xDigizoom even giving good results, despite obvious aliasing. Shot some awesome photos with it with two C-mount beauties, Fujinon 12mm and Angie 75mm both super16 lenses. I would love this body with GH5(2) features.:) Would be my to go camera forever.

Would love too see your findings and images. I love the tweaking and nerdy pleasures. That's what Eoshd is all about for me, much more than spec list after spec list. Very fond of the famous Oly jpeg color engine. An HD 100mbit 420 8bit codec without noise reduction from the mft 16 or 20MP sensor is all I would need. Instead I had to go with a Lumix S1 for my portable video needs. My GX85 is still with me most of the time.

BMMCC @kye I have not found footage from the Sigma yet that i can i say i liked. I coupled my Lumix S1 with a 10mm Tevidon in Hd pixel mode. That could be my Bmpcc. Just need the right adapter without wiggling. Got a Bmmcc coming its way, proving gas is dumb and never ending.:) Back to topic.:) A fully rigged Amira is a heavy beast already despite the fact that they call it a perfectly balanced shoulder camera. Alexa is not bargain on your shoulder for sure.
