Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 жов 2024
- A few shots from a trip to Yosemite with the family by Adam Garcia with Short Stop Studios.
Shot on a BlackMagic Pocket Cinema Camera in RAW film mode with a 12-24mm F4 Tokina lens and Metabones Speed Booster. I cut the video in Premiere CS6 and graded in Davinci light.
The shots were a mixture of hand-held, Tripod and a Edelkrone Plus slider.

This is pure motivation. In the pictures is so much strength and joy. Yes a laugh changes everything.
thanks man, done nice words, greatly appreciated!
Im going there in may with my bmpcc all the way from Ireland and now I cannot wait!
Absolutely breathtaking, your footage is fantastic and I love the music you chose for it
Trevor Whiting Thanks so much that means a lot!
Even if a new model comes out, it will not look old with technology! Very nice video!
masaru nonoshita well they do have the 4K and 6k now 😋
@@ShortStopStudios
I am shooting with BMPCC4K, but I think that the quality of the work will not improve if the equipment is good.
I think your work is wonderful because you watch the video carefully! Thank you!
I come back to this video often to study and see what i'm doing wrong with my BMPCC. :) This footage never ceases to amaze.
Now if I could get away from the production gigs for awhile and do some more personal projects like this again!
This was truly amazing, blew my mind, very inspiring :) Subbed.
Thanks a lot CallumMGiblin its good to hear feedback!
Thats aspirational footage you've captured with that little camera.
thanks Gavin, actually ahooting a feature length documentary currently with the bmpcc, wish me luck lol
When your shooting at this level you don't need luck, I hope you post the finished documentary here on youtube. It is a brave decision to use it for a this kind of film
+Gavin Sherlock haha thanks man, I def will after completing some festival circuits
Almost 4 years later and the BMPCC still holds up more than well! Do you still own your BMPCC? I just shot a videoclip with mine and Upscaled it to 4K and it looks even better! Blackmagic indeeed!
I actually primarily shoot with an Ursa Mini 4K rig now, however from time to time I use the BMPCC for smaller personal projects.
Stunningly beautiful footage! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Had a UA-camr ask me some questions about the lens and BMPCC so I have included my answer below:
Thanks for checking out the video! Had lots of fun making it. I apologize as you have caught my mistake. I was actually using a Tokina 12-24 F4 for Nikon. I typically use Canon L-Series glass however I stumbled upon a Metabones for Nikon lenses and was able to pick one up last minute.
As far as having any issues with the speed booster or BMPCC, I am making a review to cover my thoughts on the camera however I can give you a quick review. I did not stumble across any issues with the Metabones Speed Booster. I did not have any contact issues, it did a great job lowering the F-stop from 4 which saved me several times, as well as giving me a wider field of view which I think is the best perk about the adapter. Rather than my 12-24 being a 35-70 (from the cropping of the BMPCC's sensor) it was a 24-50. This allowed me to have much wider shots with the lens I was carrying making it a big life saver seeing as with landscapes you typically want a wide angle.
As for the BMPCC. If your shooting RAW as I did, you typically can eat through a 32GB card in 6mins of record time. Needless to say I was eating through cards rather quick and had to choose my shots carefully. Also you are only getting about 20-30mins of battery life per battery. I went out with 7 batteries and was able to get by just fine. However I was being very picky about my shots, only shooting 10sec clips, and having very limited Time-lapses.
Lastly you asked about infinity focus. Because I was outside battling with the bright sun and only a polarizing filter and no ND's I obviously was having to push my F-stops into pretty high numbers. The Metabones adapter does not give you and F stop reading of 1-22 rather it just gives you from F (fully open) to 7. So I am not sure of my exact F-stop measures. Although much of what I had was in focus when I was shooting, it was not an infinity focus. Even being as high as 5 out of 7 on the adapter I was still having to use my focus meters on the BMPCC to pull focus accordingly. Many of my shots were wider shots, although on other shoots following Yosemite I have been able to use the lens for closer shots with thinner depths of focus. You are not going to get as shallow as you would lets say on a full frame DSLR, however this is something I believe is more than worth sacrificing for the WDR and RAW capabilities. As you would a servo lens, if you back up and punch in with the lens you can create thin depths of focus to mimic those looks you get from a DSLR.
Hope this was some help and I answered all you questions. I will be posting a review soon, I just wanted to experience the BMPCC is several different recording situations to give the best feedback I can about the camera!
Thanks,
Adam Garcia
Short Stop Studios
+Short Stop Studios Did you use IR CUT?
No I didn't, I was just using a polarizer.
okay thanks man... Really nice beauty film by the way... Great work!
Thanks!
Great work with BMPCC, the video looks powerful with sounds.
Thanks! Hope to ne releasing more videos showing off the Polynesian islands as well as New Zealand in the next few months!
Excellent video! Your shots were great and it really showed off your skills and the cameras abilities
Wow dude thanks! Its awesome to get feedback from the UA-cam community. I hope to stay consistent with great footage and awesome cameras ^.^
Inspiring work. Love Yosemite, and loved every second of this.
Awe thanks!
Incredible shots. This camera or the Micro cinema camera paired with the Kowa Prominar micro 4/3 primes (8,5m ZERO visible distortion, 12mm, 25mm) of the finest Japanese optics would be an absolute killer combo! Definitely be making the switch to micro 4/3 soon. Sharp edge to edge, small and light, best selection of lens, easy conversion to anamorphic, and some if not the best selection of cameras around (BM, GH5...) for the price range.
This is amazing. Makes me fall in love with the bmpcc.
Every shot in this video is great!
Stef en Juul thanks!
One year ago today I received my BMPCC. After many weeks of researching and looking at footage on YT this video is the reason as to why I bought it.
Dude that's wicked, thanks for the kind words!
Just posted a first impressions video of the BMPCC, make sure to check it out to have some of your questions answered!
BMPCC First Impressions Review
ua-cam.com/video/GPBi92-nvvQ/v-deo.html
Hey i am in yosemite now and I want to ask you when you get up to film the fist scene.
Thanks
Hey JB-Production sorry for the late response, Im shooting in a remote location and internet is hard to come by. I got out there about 6am and the timelapse lasted about 45mins from 6:45 on. Hope I didn't get to you to late!
+Short Stop Studios Would you film a feature film with this camera?
If it is a controlled set yes its possible, but if its a more guerrilla style shoot, the battery life and crop factor tend to get in the way.
Thanks!
Beautiful footage. Nice job using all 13stops.
Thanks!
So sick man. The rocks and water at the end especially just so photorealistic. Unbelievably sharp for 1080p. BMPC really are so amazing at high film quality and color.
drewmorgan yea it really came out well
I was interested in this camera and the first footage I watched was this. The footage is an eye candy! Keep up the good work man!
thanks man!
Love the vibe nature and what a quality!! Well done!
Insanely beautiful.
Thanks man
Looks Beautiful.
GO PRO HERO Thanks! I hope to release some even more stunning videos as I am currently sailing from Tahiti to New Zealand!
Awesome work!
Still amazing.. thanks for inspiring.
makes me want to be back there!
THis video convinced me to buy the pocket camera. Great color correction and framing my good sir!
Haha that's awesome man, Ursa mini out of your budget?
+Short Stop Studios Kind of; I invested first in cine lenses and went with the pocket camera to be able to get a camera that does raw without straining my computer. I do want to get the 4.6k after see what raw can get you.
+SuperRex Productions yea I see where your coming from. It's worth the money to get the Ursa Mini just because the crop factor and battery life of the pocket are a bit of a pain in the ass.
That looks brilliant, I'm keen on the bmmcc i have no hesitation after seeing this.
+tallaganda83 I had a BMPCC but sold it within 30 days. Reason? Too much equipment. For starters, a $700 speed booster is a must. Then you'll need a cage, and let's not forget to mention the abysmal battery life, which one will need to compensate with either a stack of those. The interface is on the laggier side and would not record on any card less that 95 mbps.
Planning to get the next-gen GH5. 4K is the future and amazing for crop.
lupinearsenalALT Yeah by the time the blackmagic comes out there will probably be better options anyway, if the GH5 does 12 bit raw and good mbps etc I will strongly consider it, i mostly want it for drone use, and i actually really enjoy editing raw files, but yeah i know the accessories do push the cost up, i like the new DJI zenmuse x5r, it shoots raw 4k but its very pricey.
+lupinearsenalALT the speed booster and batteriesare needed, everything else is optional if your shooting something like a shortfilm, you want to shoot the best codec and quality, Panasonic cameras are great for event/doccumentary work, where you need to be able to access your options quickly
Every camera needs equipment depending what you're using it for, that's just part of the game for the price and the quality you get the bmpcc is a steal, I just got mine off eBay used for less than $600 the gh4 is atleast $1000 on eBay and the gh5 will most likely be higher, the gh4 is a great cam but unless 4K, a flip out screen, the ability to take stills, and better battery life are a deal breaker for you get the bmpcc, all will need a speed booster to get max capabilities, gh4 & 5 will probably need a atomos ninja or shogun to get max capabilities from the 4K on top of the speed booster, you'll need external audio anyway for any camera same thing goes for rigs/stabilizers, but in the end vlog will never be able to touch RAW, now if you aren't a post-production type person then get a gh4/5(when it comes out) but if you want that maximum flexibility to get the image you desire I say get the blackmagic...but that's just my opinion..just look at the footages, the reviews, blogs,etc.
***** because the bmpcc has a 2.88x crop factor (mft is 2x). so even a mft will suffer heavy crop.
Most people (myself included) are already invested in either Canon or Nikon glass. so it doesn't make sense to sell all of our lenses.
Very nicely done!
Cary Knoop Thanks
Thanks for sharing! I really love it. Amazing!
BMPCC is just amazing
What an awesome video, very nice!! How did you calculate the amount of black bars on top & bottom? I like the moderate size of the black area, if it is too big then it looks too restricted..
I actually base my letterbox size off of the title safe margins. I feel it is a little more subtle regardless of the fact that it is not standard size.
Great footage but seems like the darks are really pushed down. I recomend you at least 1 MFT lens, the panasonic 14 45, it have a incredible ammount of sharpness on the center of the image (that is one of the few nice points about that cr@p factor. And it have nice stabilization on lens.
+Xhanoir thanks for the info!
Looks great!
Thanks!
love this, nice work
Thanks man, hope to have more up soon!
Incredible Footage!
Thank you THE VILLAINS MEDIA GROUP
Is the lense a TOKINA 12-24 f4 AT-X PRO DX ? It states that lense is for an APS-C sensor on the metabones I'm worried about coverage. just want to check it's the same one
Yes it is.
Awesome video!!! Loved everything about it, music was perfect too.. Congratulations!!! You are a pro. All the best from Six Dead Hikers.
Thanks Johan Markus I really appreciate that! I am no pro, still have a way to go, but I really appreciate you taking the time to check it out!
Short Stop Studios I just watched your video again, i really love it and the music and thanks for providing the technical details since i always wondered how the panning is done in such a controlled fashion. How long did it take you to shoot this movie?
Johan Markus Yes it was a mix of hand held, monopod, tripod, and slider shots. But surprisingly most of it was handheld as it was difficult to lug a tripod, slider, and monopod into some of these places. It was shot over two and half day's in Yosemite National Park. So I must ask, what is Six Dead Hikers?
Short Stop Studios It is a true story of our misadventure up the four mile trail to glacier point with flashback footage of previous more successful hikes up Half Dome, and some music that I wrote for the movie. One of the hikers in our group who was shooting video of us huddling for warmth just blurted out "Six Dead Hikers" as if that would be the headline for the newspaper story of our demise. So I decided that would be the title of my video.
Johan Markus oh stunning! I will def have to check it out! Im currently in Tahiti on a four minth sailing trip to New Zealnd gathering more content along the way for more vids like Yosemite as well as a full length documentary. So good internet has been hard to come by for uploading and watching vids. But the minute I do I will take a look! Is it available on UA-cam or no?
Which speed booster you use? for canon or nikon and the tokina works.... @Short Stop Videos
+Tri Pol I used the Nikon speed booster as the Nikon mount Tokina was the widest lens I had.
This is absolutely beautiful!!! I plan to get a slider and learn how to shoot stuff just like this.The slider shots were totally breathtaking! When you shot this, did you feel it was necessary to have a real long slider? I wonder if a 24 inch Cinevate v3 Duzi will do or I'll need the 32 inch one. Would love to hear your thoughts! Thanks!
Hi there
Amazing footage and impressing quality. We just started to film with the Blagmagic Pocket Cinema Camera and we are very happy with the results. However, we don´t know much about UA-cam Uploads and would be happy to know more about the encoding you used for your upload to maintain this formidable quality.
Grz :-)
Angela Raab Check out my RAW post workflow video which shows step by step what I do in post.
They @short Stop Studios, What kind of tripod do you use with your slider? I want that slider but I want to make sure my tripod would be strong enough for it.
Did you sharp the image in post??? Beautiful Work by the way. Its amazing
Erik Ballesteros yes I added some sharpening in post
look at those detail, I mean it's almost look like c300 maybe or a7sii? what kind of coloring software did you guys use?
+Nurudin Sidiq Davinci Light
I am curious on the settings you used in editing for color correction. I want to achieve this look so badly
MajorInkPeoples If you take a look on my page, I actually do a step by step color grading tutorial. Check it out and let me know what you think!
very nice indeed
i have a question. Would you consider this camera better then a DSLR? Canon 70d to be exact, because i've been thinking of transitioning away from DSLR
Honestly, if your into short films specifically, I do think it get more color and a wider dynamic range. But it is a little frustrating when it comes to batter life, crop, etc.
What were the setting you had on your camera when you did the shoot? What are the best settings for outdoor shooting?
Honestly since its been a couple of months now I couldn't say for sure. However I know I was bouncing between 400 and 800 ISO depending on the shot. Then for F-Stop I do not have an exact number as I was using the Metabones adapter with built in F-Stop variable changer. I was shooting at 180 degree shutter angle, film mode, RAW, 24fps, and a single Nikon lens.
but you said it's tokina lense ,not nikon lense?am i right?
It is a Tokina 12-24mm, Nikon mount, with a metabones speedbooster adapter.
Omg This is killing me so much how crazy is this camera?
Jonas Vanden Broecke I love it, but the ursa mini has been keeping me happy lately
love all the shots but 0:55 was my favorite. Looks straight out of a movie.
Haha thanks man! Its funny how that works out sometimes. The shot at :55 I literally captured it handheld at the last minute because a timelapse I did came out bad and now it's one of your fav's. I love how that happens!
Short Stop Studios that's always how it happens! Believe me I absolutely loved the other shots but that one was just beautiful. That's really impressive that you did that handheld.
Nads thanks man. Yea one of my favorite shots near the end was one of those shots. I didn't think much of it when I was shooting it, and became one of my fav's. Yea I surprisingly had to do a lot of it handheld just because of how much of a pain it was to set up the slider.
I just smashed the like and subscribe button! Please continue making videos!!!!
Awesome!
So say Geronimo! SAY Geronimo SAY Geronimo... Dope video! I like filmmakers showing their abilities and not just doing reviews or tutorials ;)
very nice ! i have BMPCC too but i need learn again too have better picture ;) i like your test shoot
Thanks so much!
Wonderful.
very well done, i like the way you do photography and of course it is hyper sharp, what lens are you using?
love the pocket camera :)
stunning
Thanks!
Great video, however next time could you please upload it in it's native aspect ratio? I have a 21:9 monitor and it would look so great if it filled the entire screen. now I get a lot of black bars :/ Ps This video convinced me the BMPCC is worth it footage and editing/colour correction wise this is amazing!
After hours of research you and this video have finalized my decision. I cannot wait to get my BMPCC!
I'm happy I could out your mind at ease! just make sure to have fun with it and put the RAW workflow to use. Go shoot some $h!t
Yes me too!
soo beautiful
+ranbowdomo Thanks man!
Great Video! Loved it, and seeing it a lot of times. I have one question. Did you put some sharpening to the footage in post? If so, when did you the sharpening? When grading in DaVinci? In Premiere Pro or Final Cut? I ask you this because it looks soooo sharp. Sharper than my footage done with my BMPCC.
Keep you bringing us this kind of nice work!
Thanks.
Hi librarecords I did do sharpening in post. After color grading in Davinici light, I would send the final export from Davinci back into premiere and apply a sharpen tool. I typically add anywhere from 10-20%. I believe on Yosemite I added 20%. I am still playing with export options and different codecs to try and find the highest resolution possible for UA-cam.
Short Stop Studios
Thanks!
librarecords Hope I was able to help! Also feel free to check out my BMPCC review I just posted today on my page!
Impecable!
Was that the nikon mount Tokina? For what seems like a cheap lens, you seem to have done magic with it (especially 0:11 - 0:15). Very sharp (even though some sharpness added in post). Though I am curious, with some of the shots where the leaves and waterfall seem very soft (1:11-1:13)... did you just slow down the shutter angle to compensate for low-light or something?
Very well done.
Thank you :)
How did you do the timelapses? I thought the BMPCC didn't shoot stills, and I don't think it has the battery life or storage capacity to capture long enough to make one of those timelapses.
+K.C. McLaughlin all BlackMagic camera's have a built in Time-lapse mode.
Short Stop Studios Neat, I didn't know that.
So dope :) good job
daniel diaz Thanks!
Hi dude! I am still using the OG boi. How on earth did you get the footage so unbelievably sharp? (i can't use superscale in Davinci atm). Also how do you attach that lens on the camera because it has EFS mount right? cheerio
amazing quality. did you do any denoising at all?
Yes I used magic bullet denoiser.
How do i buy this BMPCC from India?
Do you think you can use twixtor with the BMPCC? Also, did you use some warp-stabilization with some of the shoots?
Looks great!
Ian Guevara sorry I missed your questions and apologize for that! You can use twistor with the BMPCC footage. Of course certain shots if there is to much movement it can bug out, just the same as if there is to little movement it will almost look like a frozen image. But I have seen some really great stuff with twistor and the BMPCC!
Beautiful. Symbiotically paced. What edit/colour grade system did you use?
I did the edit in Premiere and the colour in Davinci
nice look.
Would it look just as beautiful without the speed booster?
+Jeroen Geerts the image quality would be the same however, the speed booster allows for a wider shot as well as an extra F stop of light.
Okay awesome! What kind of changes did you do in post? like Color grading etc.
Will I be able to get the same quality by using the same settings?
Check out my post workflow video, it details the exact steps I took in making Yosemite.
Thanks! I'll check it out :D
Wow this is so crisp! Was there any sharpening done in post or is it all from the Tokina?
Yes, I added 15-20% sharpening to the shots just depending.
Thank you for your response! I just purchased a used unit on eBay. I can't wait to try it.
Yo man I'm loving this camera. It almost seems like I've found what I've been missing. Your video was my ultimate selling point and main inspiration. No regrets in purchasing it. Thanks again!!
Oh thats awesome DelzieC thank you!
The only mistake you made was calling this a test video. Im just glad you didn't have a close up of some flowers.... Looked great
Greg Hughes haha thanks man I appreciate that! It was the very first thing I got to shoot with the little guy, and a great first experience!
Hey since this video was a year ago, is there any other cameras that are better than this one right here?
I mean it really depends on what you like and your budget. But Blackmagic now offers their Ursa Mini which has a 3k option and a 5k option.
+Short Stop Studios ok thank you dude for responding 🔥👌 I subbed nice content.
Thanks!
Did you use any stabilization handheld? Im trying to figure out a rig for walking with this camera in nature. Great footage btw.
Yes hand held with warp stabiization in post.
Very nice work. The colour on Blackmagic stuff just seems to better. Did you use any LUT's for grading?
No I just manually did each shot.
Nice. Is that the default profile for BMPCC? BTW there's a flash at the 2:00 where the image adjusts don't know if that's a camera thing or a UA-cam thing.
There is Rec 709 which is a LUT you can apply as a default to you BMPCC footage in post. But I just went in and manually adjusted the setting for each shot to get the color grading I did. I have a post video and a before and after video on my page if you want to check it out. As for that flash, that is actually a mistake I didn't catch before uploading. It was two frames in the time-lapse that should have been cut, but weren't. Good eye ;p
Thanks I used to cut TV commercials. You get jaded :)
can you said me please how you make your render for have nice quality on youtube ? and do you know how have a more biggest battery extern for this BMPCC ? the normal battery is very short :( (sorry for my english)
Hi 00shyriu00, you were asking about my rendering options. I typically either export as a Apple Prores 422 HQ or I go with an H.264 codec such as yosemite. The trick is just to make sure all of the options for quality are maxed out since your going to lose so much info from the compression. If your having a hard time following I am releasing a video review on the BMPCC pretty soon which also goes over my post workflow.
Also you asked for a good battery solution. Although I have yet to purchase this power option myself, it is what I plan to invest in myself. It uses Canon LP-E6 batteries which are $35 new and $10 for the amazon knock offs. But there are options to adapt to almost any battery if you search enough. Here is the link below.
Power option for BMPCC:
www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1077440-REG/indipro_tools_ipqpk_quad_power_grid_for.html/pageID/accessory
Short Stop Studios Thank you very much for your answer .i have 2 others questions please :) Do you think the canon battery are better than blackmagic/nikon battery ? Do you know how many time the bmpcc can filming with 2 battery canon ?
00shyriu00 I love questions!
Now just to let you know the BMPCC batteries and/or the Nikon equivalent batteries typically get you a 20-30min run time (the Nikon ones last a bit longer because they hold more mAH's). I have 6 BMPCC batteries and 1 Nikon equivalent, with those I am just able to get by a day of shooting. The link I sent you holds 4 Canon LP-E6 batteries which will charge the BMPCC for 6-8hrs so if you have 4 Canon batteries you will last all day. Have 8 and you will be good for two whole days of shooting.
Because I already own 9 Canon LP-E6 batteries it makes a no brainer power option for me. But even if you don't own Canon batteries you can get 8 Canon batteries and the power option link I sent you for around $200 which is still way less than the Switronix battery options which start at $250, as well as more compact and versatile.
Short Stop Studios
Do you know this external battery ? www.ianker.com/product/79AN20L-SA
Short Stop Studios
i have see this here www.repaire.net/forums/blackmagic-cinema-camera/261443-dispositif-batterie-externe-bmcc.html
I love how sharp the footage is especially for UA-cam. How did you achieve this if you don't mind me asking? I currently export my footage using FCPX after color-correcting in DaVinci.
ill post my YouTubr export settings in a tutorial so you can see what I use
+Jesse Solorio I posted my UA-cam settings video if you want to take a look!
+Short Stop Studios Thanks you so much. I appreciate it!
was the colour range film or video?
AR 23 film
Thanks it looks great I must have watched it over 10 times....was the lens wide or was it just the landscape?
AR 23 both a wide lens and vast landscape
wich metabones did u use for tokina lens please
Nails Skillz micro 4/3 to Nikon speed booster
thx
#Dope Bro! Keep up the Great #werk
хорошая работа....молодец!))))
Thanks!
so you use only polarizer filter yes ?
In this instance yes, its all I had available.
However I would recommend Variable ND filters etc.
How did you setup your WB? i find it so hard on the BMPCC
Hi 22trips22, for Yosemite I was just going with the typical 5600K for sunlight and 3200k for shaded areas lower in the mountains. However you shouldn't experience that much difficulty with you WB if you are shooting RAW. When shooting RAW your image has very little saturation and allows you to bend the colors pretty far. Even if you have bad settings in camera, because of the flexibility of RAW, its relatively easy to save even some of the worst white balanced shots.
Thank you for your quick response, keep up the good work!
Short Stop Studios Also WB in RAW is just metadata from what I understand.
Nice 😊
Enjoyed our hike today! You definitely set the pace!
u you deserve way more views
airjaded7 thank you so much! That means a lot. But its a humble beginning, as long I stay consistent and provide quality I will gain more views and subscibers!
wow beautiful, would u still recommend this camera in 2017?
peter panda still a great cam in 2017, I still have one. However if you can afford the Ursa Mini it's a better option aside from the size increase.
ursa mini is out of my budget since i only shoot videos as a hobby.
peter panda the major reason to purchase this camera is to utilize the RAW workflow so look into if you haven't already. Lastly, be aware the setbacks of this camera (as all cameras do have) is the battery and the crop factor of the sensor. So be aware you will need to have or purchase lenses that are pretty wide and low f stop. As well as an external power option.
ok, noted. Thank you.
what are your thoughts on Blackmagic production camera 4k?
Great video Adam! Well shot and arranged! What's the name of the awesome music track?
Thanks 13 Stops Pocket Films it was really fun to make, and I'm already planning the next trip with my BMPCC. The track is "Kings" by Ryan Taubert.
Short Stop Studios thank you for the info Sir. Looking forward to your future work.
awesome
badfonya Thank you :)
What memory card did you use to record RAW? Great Work though :)

What a time before AI see ya later boys
Woow, cool :)
Beautiful Video! What is your current setup? (as of 2016)
I actually was using an a6300 and A7SII for awhile but I just sold both of them and think I'm going to get an ursa mini 4K. (I want the 4.6K but a bit pricey for me at the moment)
Short Stop Studios Sweet! Between the A7SII and the A6300 which one did you prefer (video only)? And what lens?
Well its funny because the a6300 is actually sharper than the A7SII if you didn't know! But the A7SII is a fuller camera (more options, inputs/outputs, etc). Yet at the end of the day... I would prob say the a6300. There is so much camera for so little money.
Short Stop Studios Yea I've seen it myself. What lenses do you use?
I own a variety of lenses from brand to focal length. However if your on a tight budget, the kit lens (16-50mm F3.5-F5.6) is a decent buy to get you started and you can get it used pretty cheap. If you have a larger budget, I like primes a lot such on the Rokinon, Canon, and Zeiss cinema lenses for video. But sometimes the zoom lenses are more practical on set, just depends on the shoot.
do you use raw or pro res
RAW
This video made me buy the camera and debt made me sell it, now I miss it more than anything I've ever sold lol
So which speedbooster did you use? Not the Nikon or the Canon one, correct?
I used the MFT to Nikon speed-booster. However there is one specifically made for the BMPCC and then there is just the universal one. I used the universal one.
Short Stop Studios Ok. So if I used the one that's specifically made for the BMPCC, could I still use the glass you used? I'm really interested in out beautiful it came out paired with the RAW. *thumbs up*
Nico Davila thanks! I really appreciate that. Yes, I believe the once specifically for the BMPCC actually has an extra piece that puts the Metabones right up against the sensor of the BMPCC. So the only difference is between the adapter and the camera, so any Nikon lens, such as the one I used, will work.
I now am using a Canon EF Metabones Speed-booster with my Canon L-series lenses and I am still getting stunning visuals. Obviously there are just minor differences like color, Lens Flare colors, and sharpness as you would see in any lens change. I did enjoy the Nikon lens for its wide capabilities as I was shooting landscapes. However I think ultimately I will be selling my Canon L-series lenses for the Rokinon Cine Lens kit. They look great, they are cheap, and they are Cine lenses not photography lenses which the Nikon and Canon lenses I was using, are.
Short Stop Studios Awesome man I appreciate the info! I'm new when it comes to which glass I can use. I really think I'm going to pickup the BMPCC to Nikon speedbooster. Mainly, because I want that "35" mm look. But I'm trying to see which lenses are going to be more useful to me.
Because with that speedbooster changing the speed of all the slower lenses it opens up so many more inexpensive opportunities. Does the Rokinon only work for the MFT mount? Would you recommend any sharp lenses for shooting quality work on the Nikon G mount?
Nico Davila well I'm more of a Canon guy myself. I purchased the BMPCC used and it came with the Metabones adapter. However I thought it was to Canon not Nikon. So when I found out I had to borrow that Nikon lens last minute from a buddy as I was going to Yosemite the next day. So really I was forced to shoot with that lens and that lens alone. Once I got back I sold the adapter and got the Canon one.
The Rokinon Cine Lens Kit is cheap, its sharp, I like the colors, and they are primes (or fixed mm lenses) which typically give you a more filmic look. They offer them in EF (or Canon) mount, Nikons's mount, and I believe they are about to start offering PL.
The issue with the BMPCC is the crop from the sensor. So typically I see I am using wider lenses then what I normally use with my full frame Canon DSLR. I think your going to really want to concentrate on glass as wide as 8mm to 50mm. Obviously with the lowest F-stop you can afford.
Check my short review on the BMPCC if you haven't already:
