Riadnasla Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 So while I'm out on a gig yesterday my wife sends me a pic of 3 boxes. Obviously I was excited! So first thing I do when I get home is get rid of the shipping bulk, right? Not at all excited about my new BMPCC, a 14mm f2.5 asph lens, and my Pebble Time watch. Then I did the responsible thing and finished working on a Toyota spot I'm editing, and by time that was done I was looking at 2130h. Ho boy. But y'know, I've been really excited about having a portable camera, and to hell with it, I'm going to film something! Wife and screaming kid wanted to come, so we all headed to a nearby tourist trap. Colour Version: B&W Version: Personally, I like the B&W better, but my wife argues for the colour version. Things I learned with this test: 1) It definitely keeps the info in RAW, but man do I never want to touch 1600iso ever again! 2) The 14mm isn't the best cinematic choice due to the amount of reflections it has in the lens flares. 3) Shakycam is very real with this camera, even with using my tripod as mono- and bi-pod. Can't wait to shoot more projects with it, hopefully with more planning and light involved! webrunner5, mercer and Drew Allegre 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercer Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Yeah the B&W looks wicked. You can really see the DR the Pocket has. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbCinC_12 Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 It's a very impressive little camera. Even though I haven't done anything yet, I'm happy with it. Justin Bacle and Riadnasla 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juxx989 Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 This camera has detail to spare. I upscale to 4k upload to YouTube it looks much better at all rezes And I was cruising the BMCuser forms and there is some discussion about the black art of shooting low light some say shoot raw @ 400 in low light and there is room to bring it back in resolve if you import it right. I tried it with my bedroom w/ Canon FD 1.4 and it did look pretty good IronFilm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No screen grab its buried somewhere in the nether realms of one of my hard drives and quite uncompelling "Dynamic range depends on the situation and your exposure, and whether you shoot raw or Prores. Shooting raw, for normal as well as lower light/lower contrast situations I expose for ISO 400. In very low light you might even expose for ISO 200. By doing so, you basically assign more stops of the dynamic range to the left from middle grey, towards the shadows, and less to the right of middle grey, the highlights. On the contrary, in bright sunlight for example you might want to expose for ISO 800, to have more stops of dynamic range right from middle grey to protect highlights. I rarely shoot Prores so someone else might have an advice there." http://www.bmcuser.com/showthread.php?20634-Dynamic-Range-BMPCC&highlight=bmpcc+light This is the thread mercer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbp Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Enjoy! It's a fun camera, for sure. Amazing image. It's definitely got some usability issues. It took me buying an external battery, ND filter, IR Cut filter, and gimbal before I finally felt like it was a complete camera. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
