Beautiful shot composition and lighting, it demonstrates how much I have to learn. Also, this little powerhouse of a camera continues to amaze me every day. I've finally set one up for shooting, that I purchased two years ago. I got so used to my C100s, I didn't want to quit using them...time to move on. 👍
Thank you for your kind words! Truly means a lot! C100s we’re great, reliable, workhorse cameras! Yeah the pk4 is a great bang for buck camera! You chose wisely! Thank you again for watching
I thought I'd watched some great cinematic work shot on a BMPCC ... until I watched this 😲. You put REDs and ARRIs to shame with this one! PLEASE make a color grade video for this awesome work 👍
This means a ton! Thank you very much for your kind words! I intend to! If not though I can send you this color grade as a powergrade file! Merry Christmas!
@@storylitfilms A powergrade would be awesome!!!!! Seriously... this is outstanding work! I have the BMPCC 6K and my grades are nowhere close. I'd love to see your workflow. Did you use a Promist?
@@storylitfilms yo i would love to work with ur powergrade so much, u have that cinematic touch i admire and need. Ur work is awesame. im leaving u my mail so u can send it if u want and whenever it fits ur spare time haha. Merry Xmas! oh, just corious, ¿what lens did u use? thx so much again, ur work is truly great
This is such a great use of the BMPCC4k, I was already impressed by the other short film you've made with it, but this trailer is even more impressive.
This is some of the best footage I've seen on the Blackmagic pocket 4k. I saw you used the sigma 18-35 with a metabones a while back and I have to ask, Do you prefer that lens or the Lumix 12-35mm you used on this shoot?
Thank you so much Will! Means a lot bro!! Yeah I bounce back and forth between the two. I love the sigma 18-35 for shallow focus and low light situations, I know a lot of people knock it for being clinical but to me it has a lot of characteristics I love, it's sharp, its got a nice bokeh, and its fast. If I had to pick between the two I'd go sigma, but the fact the lumix is native to the pocket 4k and packs such a punch I find myself using it more often then not.
@@QuentinAnthonyAnderson Yeah! Hahaha, it's a great lens, it definitely has some downsides: chromatic aberration at 12mm, no manual aperture control, falls a bit flat. But in terms of bang for buck lens, it's well worth the money. I have it on my pk4 85% of the time. I think you will grow to love it the more you use it!
Thank you! I definitely lean towards a natural look in 90% of the things I shoot. But there's those run and gun shoots where I definitely get "sourcey" in my lighting hahaha
Thank you so much my friend! Means a ton! Yeah I had a little bit of black pro mist 1/8 on there! Then I enhanced it a bit more in post with the glow effect.
Hey there! Thank you for your kind words! Means a lot! I used the BMPCC 4K at 12:1 compression shooting in BRAW. I also edited and color graded it in Davinci Resolve.
@@B.lynnfilms I use a variety of sound effects, usually I find stuff on UA-cam that's royalty free, or I just create my own. I also license music from soundstripe and they have a library of sound effects as well. But the song in this was created by a composer friend of mine. I gave him some notes on what I liked and he created this
Thank you very much for your kind words! Truly means a lot! Usually I do a streaming export onto Vimeo and then take the rendered file an upload it to UA-cam. I find UA-cam to be hit and miss, sometimes things render great others not so much haha. Keep uploading! I'm cheering you on!
Weird it look like a Sony FX3 at least. How could you make something so beautiful and cinematic with a Panasonic 14-42? What yours settings my friend? Hugs from Brasil.
Nice! Thank you! I've never shot on an FX3 but I've seen the look plenty, I've often told people the Blackmagic color is like a Sony/ARRI hybrid. The Lens was a Lumix 12-35mm, I haven't used the 14-42 before. But I really have enjoyed using the 12-35. It has some bad chromatic aberration wide open, and it falls a bit flat, but it really is a sharp, bang for buck lens!
Thank you so much! This is only a trailer based off a the story that inspired The Cabinet of Dr Caligari. Thank you for watching and for your kind words!
Thank you tons my friend! The lens that was primarily used was the Lumix Panasonic 12-35mm f2.8. I used to use a speed booster with the sigma 18-35 but loved how compact the Panasonic lens was!
Yeah! It was the v1. I had the lens for about 5 years, always a solid go to! Laowa looks great! I’ve never used it but I love the tests I’ve seen from the 9mm zero D! Have you used it? Would love to hear your thoughts!
Wow thats a great video. Is it proper to ask you what lens do you use for that camera? I'm new in it, just want to buy a blackmagic 4k camera but I dont know which lens to buy for cinematic shots like you have. I know it's not everything about lens, i just scrap info from everywhere 😅
Thank you for your kind words my friend! And congrats on your pocket 4k. Such a great camera! I shot this mostly on a lumix 12-35mm and honestly that is the only micro 4/3s lense I’ve owned. It’s solid!
Thank you so much Myron! Means a ton!! This was shot mostly on the panosonic lumix 12-35 f2.8, the shots of the actors talking in the cell was shot on an atlas anamorphic 65mm with a MFT to pl adapter.
Thank you for your kind words my friend! Means a lot! I used the Panasonic Lumix 12-35 v1 for that opening shot. The lens is fantastic and nearly lives on my bmpcc 4k. At 12mm its come some chromatic aberration and is a bit soft (even stopped down) but seems to clean up once its zoomed in a bit.
Thank you tons Pablo! I had the camera at around 400iso for the fair shots! I normally only use the Lumix 12-35mm on the pocket 4k, but sometimes throw an Atlas Orion on there with a PL adapter. I think the 4k pairs really nice with PL glass but there can be a crop factor sometimes. The color grading was one of the tricky parts, I was trying to get a more teal/sickly greenish look without destroying skin tones. Took a bit to build the grade for it. I'll try to get a video uploaded on grading!
Hey my friend! It’s not necessary to record in RAW, pro res gives you great results! But raw gives you flexibility in post and playback really nicely in DaVinci! I shoot raw on the camera unless the client asks for pro res. Hope this helps!
Que buen trabajo, me agrada mucho que saques este producto tan excelente, eso hace sacar todo el potencial de la bmpcc 4k, usualmente vemos usuarios con bmpcc 4k mostrando su camera rig y accesorios, pero poco resultado en la parte cinematográfica, tanto técnica como cinematográficamente, muchas felicitaciones. google traslator What a good job, I am very pleased that you are bringing out this excellent product, that allows us to show the full potential of the bmpcc 4k, we usually see users with bmpcc 4k showing their camera rig and accessories, but little result in the cinematographic part, both technically and narratively , congratulations.
I cant wait for the final movie to come out! :D As a fellow BMPCC4K shooter, im always very glad, when I found a professional cinematic, narrative work with this camera, that actually looks like a movie. The interrogation scene really captures the feeling and style of the recent Batman movie. It would be great to see how you work on these movies, I hope there will be some BTS videos about your work with this camera :D Btw what kind of lights did you use for this movie?
Thank you Larion! Very grateful for your kind words! Means a lot! As for your questions: I wish this were a feature but it was more of a "shoot a few scenes, make a trailer cut and see if it draws interest to do a full feature" So as it stands know I have a few scenes shot but not a project in its entirety. The concept is based off of what inspired the movie "The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari" I'm so glad to hear about the batman connection! That and "High and Low" were my two inspirations in terms of look and style! I should've taken BTS videos but didn't I'm trying to be better about that this year! For lighting this I used all quasars, just the regular kind with 3 settings: 5600, 4500, 3200. I stuck around 4500 for most of it as I wanted a more florescent style look.
You should totally make a longer version. It doesn't have to be a feature but at least a 10-20 minute film. 1 minute is just a tease lol (but a great one at that ;)
Absolutely! Ask anything you like to! It was the panosonic Lumix 12-35mm for the vast majority of this. That’s what I use with the bmpcc4k 90% of the time when I shoot on it
Means so much! ThNk you! I didn’t get BTS on this one! Wish I had! Used a lumix 12-35 for most of it and the an atlas anamorphic for the interrogation scene! Really appreciate your kind words!!
Thank you tons my friend! Means a lot! I graded everything by hand in DaVinci. I can make you a powergrade or export a lut if you shoot me an email through my website Storylitfilms
Thank you! This is just trailer but it does have a concept attached. Shopping it around to a few writers and need to secure a few key locations to make it happen
This is really good. I'm thinking a Pro Mist 1/4 for sure? You're showing what you can get out of the Pocket 4K. I upgraded to the 6k Pro - did I need to? I think you'll excel with it. Well done.
Thank you very much!! Yeah great eye, pro mist 1/4, I normally don't use any filters other than ND's and Grad ND's but sometimes the pro mist feels right story wise and it definitely felt right here. When I think of Fair's I think of a bit more of a grungy, gritty environment but also a fun glowing environment. The pro mist helped get that soft glow in camera to where I didn't have to tinker with it in post. That's great about the 6k Pro! How are you liking it? I've shot on it a few times and really like the 35mm sensor compared to the Pocket 4k. I've always loved the S35 sensors best, even over large format.
Thank you so much! I think I had about 12-15 nodes. Normally I’m around 6-8 nodes. But I did a few power windows on this grade to fine tune things. Normally I do a Rec 709 color space transform, then base correct with just simple exposure and color in the wheels or curves. Then I built a creative look from how I remember the fair growing up. I definitely leaned into a swampy green look. And added a “glow” plug in. I’ll have to look at the node structure when I’m back in the office though
Great work, this kind of content really inspires me! I've got an FX3 with two A7IV's and all the lenses and lighting I need and I want to do small projects just like this but I need people to get in front of my camera! I've been running Craigslist ads for months now but I can't get people to work with me. Any suggestions?
Hello Zaria! Thank you for your kind words, truly means a lot to me that you'd take the time to share this comment! And that's a great camera package and I'm sure your lighting compliments it great! Yeah it can be really really tough to find and coordinate with actors on low to no budget narrative projects. I run into that a lot. Often times I've met actors in my area and just keep them in mind for various projects and then link up with them when the time is right. The best way I've found to network is: 1) Pray, I pray every day, 2) Get on set as often as possible, 3) Aim for smaller projects that are less demanding of a persons schedule, 4) Instead of craigslist go on Facebook to local filmmaking groups and post the need there, 5) If you strike out with actors pool from non actors, use family, friends, anyone that blinks or breathes hahaha. This was done a lot in the Italian Neo realist movement and those have some of the best films in cinema history, Bicycle thieves is one of my personal faves.
@@storylitfilms Thank you very much for the great advise! I will definitely try your suggestions. It's very interesting plus somewhat coincidental that you mentioned prayer as #1 because I recently re-established my relationship with GOD after MANY years of confusion and inner turmoil (being in an actual war can do that to you). I will get on my knees tonight for sure. Keep up the great work and if you ever find yourself in West Texas, please look me up! "Z" 🙏🎬🎥
Wow! This was so great to read. Thank you for sharing this, and also for service in the military! It’s folks like you who give up their freedoms that allow us to have freedoms here. Im excited to follow you on your filmmaking career! This is awesome!
@@storylitfilms Thank you so much for the reply! After watching a few movies on full frame cameras I was starting to wonder if I made the wrong decision with getting the 4k.

@@QuentinAnthonyAndersonI recommend exchanging Panasonic for Olympus 12-40 and not even thinking about it! Olympus is much better.

Thank you for watching bro!!
This is some artwork here guys. Wow!!!! I love it. So inspirational.
You guys did the BTS for this?
Also, what lenses did you use?
Means so much! ThNk you! I didn’t get BTS on this one! Wish I had! Used a lumix 12-35 for most of it and the an atlas anamorphic for the interrogation scene! Really appreciate your kind words!!
@@storylitfilms it's dope bro. Very dope
@@Kini_Wolfgang Thank you so much means a lot!!
Would love the powergrade for this as well. How would I go about downloading it?
Hey my friend! Send me an email through my website and I'll get it over to you! www.storylitfilm.com
@@storylitfilms done!!! Thank you 🙏🏾
What lenses were used?
Really great stuff.
Thank you Ollie! Means a lot
What lenses did you use in this film?
Hey there! The Lumix Panasonic 12-35mm f2.8 and an atlas Orion 65mm
Did you use any LUTS for ur Color grading process, I would really want to have my hands on them. The Color’s of the film is beautiful
Thank you tons my friend! Means a lot! I graded everything by hand in DaVinci. I can make you a powergrade or export a lut if you shoot me an email through my website Storylitfilms
@@storylitfilms Hi i sent an email regarding tht :)
great work
Thank you very much my friend! Means a lot!
so dope! it's a test or a short film?
Thank you! This is just trailer but it does have a concept attached. Shopping it around to a few writers and need to secure a few key locations to make it happen
audio is sooooo clean, what mic setup are you using?
Thank you! This is recorded on just a rose ntg3 and a zoom h4n. The zoom is definitely dated but the rose ntg3 is one of my favorite sounding mics
This is really good. I'm thinking a Pro Mist 1/4 for sure?
You're showing what you can get out of the Pocket 4K. I upgraded to the 6k Pro - did I need to? I think you'll excel with it. Well done.
Thank you very much!! Yeah great eye, pro mist 1/4, I normally don't use any filters other than ND's and Grad ND's but sometimes the pro mist feels right story wise and it definitely felt right here. When I think of Fair's I think of a bit more of a grungy, gritty environment but also a fun glowing environment. The pro mist helped get that soft glow in camera to where I didn't have to tinker with it in post. That's great about the 6k Pro! How are you liking it? I've shot on it a few times and really like the 35mm sensor compared to the Pocket 4k. I've always loved the S35 sensors best, even over large format.
Just watched! Came out great!!
How much shutter and fps did you use ❓❓❓
Hey my friend! I used 24fps for most of it except for a few shots were 60fps. Shutter angle at 180 degrees
Very good! How did you grade this?
Thank you so much! I think I had about 12-15 nodes. Normally I’m around 6-8 nodes. But I did a few power windows on this grade to fine tune things. Normally I do a Rec 709 color space transform, then base correct with just simple exposure and color in the wheels or curves. Then I built a creative look from how I remember the fair growing up. I definitely leaned into a swampy green look. And added a “glow” plug in. I’ll have to look at the node structure when I’m back in the office though
NICE WORK!
Thank you! Means a lot Jay!
THIS IN INSANE WHATT
Thank you tons Titus! Means a lot!
Lovely stuff
Thank you very much for your kind words!
Great work, this kind of content really inspires me! I've got an FX3 with two A7IV's and all the lenses and lighting I need and I want to do small projects just like this but I need people to get in front of my camera! I've been running Craigslist ads for months now but I can't get people to work with me. Any suggestions?
Hello Zaria! Thank you for your kind words, truly means a lot to me that you'd take the time to share this comment! And that's a great camera package and I'm sure your lighting compliments it great! Yeah it can be really really tough to find and coordinate with actors on low to no budget narrative projects. I run into that a lot. Often times I've met actors in my area and just keep them in mind for various projects and then link up with them when the time is right. The best way I've found to network is: 1) Pray, I pray every day, 2) Get on set as often as possible, 3) Aim for smaller projects that are less demanding of a persons schedule, 4) Instead of craigslist go on Facebook to local filmmaking groups and post the need there, 5) If you strike out with actors pool from non actors, use family, friends, anyone that blinks or breathes hahaha. This was done a lot in the Italian Neo realist movement and those have some of the best films in cinema history, Bicycle thieves is one of my personal faves.
@@storylitfilms Thank you very much for the great advise! I will definitely try your suggestions. It's very interesting plus somewhat coincidental that you mentioned prayer as #1 because I recently re-established my relationship with GOD after MANY years of confusion and inner turmoil (being in an actual war can do that to you). I will get on my knees tonight for sure. Keep up the great work and if you ever find yourself in West Texas, please look me up! "Z" 🙏🎬🎥
Wow! This was so great to read. Thank you for sharing this, and also for service in the military! It’s folks like you who give up their freedoms that allow us to have freedoms here. Im excited to follow you on your filmmaking career! This is awesome!
What lens was this on? Any speed boosters?
Hey my friend! This was primarily shot on a Panasonic Lumix 12-35mm f2.8. No speed boosters used.
Oh , awesome! I assume a lot of the wides you went for 12mm to mimic 24 Full frame? Like the one on 0:21?
@@HeadBangerExtreme Yes! That's exactly right.
@@storylitfilms Thank you so much for the reply! After watching a few movies on full frame cameras I was starting to wonder if I made the wrong decision with getting the 4k. Watching this amazing short rejuvenated my motivation to just forget all that and make my stories. Thank you! I hope you’re also filming the projects of your dreams!
@@HeadBangerExtreme It's such a great camera! Can never go wrong with that camera!
Amazing work, what lenses did you use?
Thank you my friend! I used the Lumix Panasonic 2.8 M 4/3s lens, then for interogation scenes I used the 65mm atlas Orion
@@storylitfilms Great choices man! without a doubt the best bmpcc4k footage i've ever seen.
@@sebastiaanham Wow means a ton my friend, thank you very much for your kind words!
0:54 soft and beautiful...Any difussion filter?
Thank you my friend! I used a BPM 1/8th on that shot.
@@storylitfilms Thanks. Beautiful!
