    “Beautiful, stunning, breathtaking, ground breaking & riveting.”
    Casey takes us on a suspense filled adventure, encased within what can only be described as an artistic masterclass of cinematography.
    The Adventure is underpinned by ground breaking techniques to capture awe-inspiring footage, highlighting an age old proverb; “it’s not how shiny the toy, but knowing how to master your tools that counts”.
    This epic adventure outlines the quest of a lifetime, the valiant quest for the ultimate technology, one that could change the world (of UA-cam cinematography) forever.
    However with a plot twist, the protagonist learns that he didn’t have to travel far to find what he was looking for, and yet in a journey that could be described as eons long, he discovers that digging into the past could unlock the future, (whilst single handedly destroying eBay and other market places).
    With whimsical stories, unique characters, soundtracks that you’ll feel impelled to buy (through the affiliate links*) coupled with educational underpinning & health warnings! this is a must for the whole family (a part from the animal husbandry lesson).”
    Or simply put; ‘breathtaking’

Eastman color does fade super fast, but even in the best restorations, the production design in Jaw's beach scenes has a kind of blue-tan-grey color pallet. It's not an exact match here by any means, but CC's location, camera, lens, and grade just combine to remind me of old prints and/or VHS tapes of movies with beach scenes in that era.

    Blackmagic cameras are great! I recently got a 17mm SLR Magic f1.6 cinema lens for my BMPCC4k in a micro four thirds mount. Used off ebay for around $100. It's not a very good lens, so to say, but since it's a cinema lens when it is used for video it is awesome! Especially the bokeh. Now I have a shtload of cinema lenses to waste my money on. Used SLR Magic lenses are oh so cheap. I also recently got the Alexa PowerGrade and LUT bundle. My footage now looks better that I've ever been able to grade using my own lying eyes.

    • @captureinsidethesound
      @captureinsidethesound Рік тому +1

      Unfortunately, BM stopped using the Fairchild sensors from the BMPCC OG and BMCC 2.5k so the "film-like" rendering was lost when they started using these overly digital-like sensors for a more "modern" look. There is no LUT that can change that and even changing the RAW level on newer BM cameras to the older color science with Davinci Resolve Studio (paid version) doesnt really change it. Also, there is a 17mm SLR Magic f1.6 available locally that i can grab but i was told they are not "sharp enough", so im not sure lol.

    Wow. The stress and anxiety of judging whether or not these digital cameras are doing their job OK or not. Trying to get a good image is not easy, but I have never been able to match the natural, organic, and pleasing look of film with any digital camera. Digital is sharper and easier, but not quite the same. I thought about getting a BMCC OG, but got an actual 55+year old used Bolex 16mm film camera with vintage lenses (all not in that good of a shape either). Not being a pro at all, I just shot what I thought looked good and was very pleased with the end results. IMO, you can't beat film - still. Yes it's a pain to use a film camera and you won't get the shear volume of images, but you do get quality if you sweat the process a bit. This is a short that I shot over six years ago. It's almost entirely 16mm film (some 8mm and Iphone thrown in, but about 98% 16mm on Kodak 250D. IMO, film seems to still give excellent detail in the shadows when properly lit/exposed.
