More practice! The impetus behind this short was to test the audio capabilities of the BMPCC4K in a real-world movie shoot setting. I planned to use the Sennheiser MKH 416 direct into the BMPC4K via the mini XLR adapter. Unfortunately, the wind out on the lake really picked up and most of the audio was unusable from the boom. Fortunately, I had both actors mic'd up with Sony lavs direct into two Zoom H1's. All of the foley audio (the ambiance sounds and walking on the deck sounds) were recorded with the 416 direct to the Pocket 4K.
Recorded direct to the Samsung T5 1 TB SSD, and used the Sigma 18-35 1.8 Art Lens, exclusively.

The entire short was shot in about 2 1/2 hours and we used 1 1/2 batteries. I used the Crane 2 and no sticks the entire time. Of note, my bracket for my SmallHD monitor broke right when we got out there, so I used the Pocket 4K monitor the whole time. It was challenging in the sunlight and with the blockage caused by the Crane - but, obviously, possible.
As to the content: We want to get better at our craft and genuinely enjoy creating and wanted to have some fun with this one! I hope the satire is appreciated.
One portion of the short takes a good-natured jab at a fellow UA-camr who commented on the first "Letter" short and lamented the lack of an over-the-shoulder dialogue scene. I hope that the jab is taken in the collegial and respectful manner in which it was intended.

I feel like I'm watching a state farm commercial now.
Quantay Peoples 🤔
omg. hilarious! it sounds like one of those dubbed videos but it isn't!!!
This is the best "camera test" video that's ever been made. Ever.
John, thank you! Very generous. :)
then she got a bad unit...episode 3...
han hao, lol, a true Shakespearean tradgedy!
As someone who has waited on multiple Blackmagic cameras, this is brilliant. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you! I struck a nerve. We've all felt the pain!
I watch short films to see demonstrations of cameras and lenses... this is the first one I really enjoyed for the content for the film. Laughed out loud. Sharing it with friends who will get it.
Lee Wanner, thanks!
Absolutely dying here! Too funny!
thoughtprovoking001, thanks!
Bought a tear to my eye.
Very moving, right? LOL
I loved Letter pt 1 but because this one doesn't take itself as serious and has great dialogue (and humor) it really was GREAT! Keep it up guys!
Thank you very much!
You had me at "I just wish I could make it better". Well done. Funny, yet really shows off the cinematic qualities of the camera. The light inside the camera box at the end was a nice touch. Waiting for the next episode.
Scott, LOL, thanks! We are weighing another sequel. Don't want to beat a dead horse.
This one hit me deep.. Reminded me of when I received my Bmpcc 4K. VERY EMOTIONAL
Did it glow?? LOL
This sequel is genius

Haha I was laughing the rest of the time after she mention h.264 and raw shooting! 😂
Here's The Skinny, thanks!
BAHAHA nice!!
You know what would have been really meta? Suddenly, she looks over his shoulder directly into the camera and says, "Wait a minute, what's he shooting on??" He turns around and looks into the camera too...
raksh9 hahaha! Dude. That would have been amazing.
Nice.
Brilliant!
Campervan Cookout, thanks!

Thanks, man! We cracked ourselves up. I'm going to make a blooper reel soon.
Funny!!! Nice work!!
Yee weng kim, thank you!
Well done!
Thank you!
Very cheeky. 😉
OMFG!! That's one hell of a set-up! After the reveal, I laughed out loud continuously 'til the end.. still laughing. This is the Hitler/'Downfall' dub. ..still laughing.
Sweet! I'm laughing reading your comment! Thanks, man.
Thank You @dpreview, twitter. I enjoy their camera reviews, so followed the link here. I am totally just a family and vacation type photographer, with a very unsophisticated camera, this short film was awesome! Looks like a professionally shot tv commercial. Thanks for sharing
TerryB, thank you and thanks for watching!
Lol! I just watched it again and laughed even harder! Great acting! And the image looks awesome!
john raymond i have to be honest, I’ve watched it “a few times” myself, it cracks me up - and even though i was there, and in on the joke, i get a little emotional when she runs down the dock... lol!
@@AngusMcMullet Ahahah! Mighty creative and witty. And like I said the image looks fantastic! Great way to test a camera! Congrats! BTW. I love when she opens the box and light comes out of it! Ahahaha!
She's got a very generous grandma. Let's just hope they noticed the "lens not included" tag.
Part III, lol!
lol at the camera references
Quantay Peoples, 😂
this is amazing lol!
Thanks, Rosemary!
a great and deep movie, well acted! :)
Thank you!
This is a beautiful compelling, power and emotional story about struggle and perseverance. I too can relate to not getting my camera when those bastards promised I would. This is heart warming LOL.
LOL! Love it.
Yooooooo this had me dying laughing hahahahaha. Well played!!!!! Now I literally can't wait for episode 3 (hopefully you guys are making one)!!!!!!!?
Thanks, Justin! We are considering. My lead is heading back to school, so it might be a while.
Great job
Carl Harding, thank you!
This was fire 🔥
The first silent "no" is perfect.
Alex, thanks. Yes, the intro stuff before the reveal is deserving of a second look once you know the set up. Gonna post some out takes.
Can’t wait for part 3!
Edwin, thanks! My lead went back to school - so it my be a while.
You have a new subscriber. I like your videos.
Thank you! I really appreciate that!
대사 끝내주네요!!! nice script~~~
Thank you!
I cried.
LOL!
That's how I'm gonna react when I get my BMPCC4K, too. :D
I wonder if yours will bit lit from the inside, too!
Awwww this will be me very soon.
This place looked like a lake near Oldsmar.... Nicely done.
Yep. Lake Tarpon.
Thanks for a great short video. I had decided to buy a BMPCC 4K but gave up because of the waiting period.
DutchAussieProductions, thank you! They will eventually catch up with the demand. It’s an amazing camera.
I see they just provided a Firmware update. I will start looking in the cameras shops again.
you got me there. This is great
Thank you, Bjarne!
this is the best ever!!! bwahahahaha! h.264 FOREVER
Janks Morton, Thanks!
Really really cool! Good stuff
Myron, thank you!
That is waaayyyy too funny! Good job!
Thanks, John!
Very good. Very funny. Thanks guys, that’s s lol from me.
Hamish, thank you!
You killing me! Great video, in the next couple of months i am to decide between BMPCC 4k (marketing team really could up with a better name) or the GH5... i have a G7 to run and gun... so i am tempted to get the BMPCC to shoot raw for more complex projects... your work makes me want to just go for it! Argh!!!!! Looking forward to your posts!
Personally, that's an easy decision. I have the a6500 for run and gun. RAW is a dream to work with.
@@skyvistaproductions118 if money no object... GH5 and BMPCC 4k - run and gun and serious fun :) - probably Xmas 2019. Just as a note, I am an amateur starting to get paid corporate, small biz jobs which I must concentrate to make some money and learn faster, efficient shooting and editing. I do have a couple of personal project where BMPCC would be a dream. Thank you for your comment and listening to my conundrum :) Looking forward to see more of your work, very inspiring.
Gotcha. Get out and shoot all you can. We are all continually learning.
Big fan of "Letter" It made buying the bmpcc 4k much easier. I love how much freedom I have coloring while shooting raw. How are you liking the camera? And are you thinking of investing in the new Tilta Nucleus Nano for focusing while using your Crane 2 and for a smoother focus?
I love this camera. I have the Zyiyun servo focus that's made for the Crane 2. I used it for this shot. I would like to get the Nano for my shoulder rig.
hahahaha you are the greatest!
madjoints, lol, thank you!
Haha this is great, and i don’t even get most of the jokes 😂
Madeleine Jane, thank you! I will explain them next we are together, my dear.
LMFAO! :) This is gold!
Stan Sebastian G, thank you!!! We did too!
OMG. That was great! ;-)
Thank you!
I love b&h by the way nice video
haha so great, made my day! luckily i got mine already in november^^
Ludwig P. Bäßler, thanks! Mine was Nov as well.
So good!
Thanks, Tony!
all i know about my bmpcc 4k is that it´s 30km away from me but i still can´t get it yet.....
I love it. WOW hahahahaha
Dencio Dayanan, thanks!
🤣🤣 this is great 👍🏽
this is sick, insane! hahahahaha
Miru, thank you!
Haha, so true :-)
Thanks!
where is mine....................................... Do they make the camera by hand?
I completely forgot I was watching a camera test until your actress mentioned H264! Easily the best camera test I've ever seen. I notice this test has really rich, creamy blacks despite BM's new color science really crunching contrast. (which I'm not a huge fan of.) How did you achieve this look? Was it gamma raise in post? Or something accomplished in camera?
White Sun Films, thank you! I shot this in (the now removed) Cinema DNG, film profile. I created my own LUT for the look. I also did a bit of brightening of mids and highlights of the skin tones. I don’t think there is a crunching problem on contrast if shot in the film profile (as opposed to video or extended video profiles).
i love it
Thanks, and thank you for watching!
Nice! well said! no sign of it in the UK, there saying April!
Thanks! Where are you in the UK? My family spent two weeks in London last summer and absolutely loved it!
oh reminds me of pre-ordering my ronin s from b&h. they changed my ship date 4 times and then sent the customer survey. oh, the customer survey. i ripped them a new one and magically my ronin shipped the next day!!!
hmmmm, interesting...
AHAHAHA Nice one man❤️🤙 keep up
Thank you!
ahahaha awesome! I'm still waiting mine and I think that my reaction will be something like that! XD
Tania De Pascalis, thanks! It will be Christmas all over again!
Funny. Truly first world "problems."
Haha, this is ridiculous, I love it. Had to buy my Bumpca from offerup. Was not in the mood for waiting.
Thanks! What did you have to pay?
@@skyvistaproductions118 $1400 flat. Which is technically $30 less than retail. Also, why she got a zoom h1 in her back pocket? lol
Hahahaha. Good one!
Lorenzo Piano Fotografo, thanks!
color is good
1:02 love the zoom h1 in the pocket
haha, yep!
I hate this so much haha! Kidding that was the best thing I've ever seen but the struggle is real.. still waiting for mine to come in... Keep up the great work!
LOL! Hang in there. It's worth the wait!
I feel the bmpcc 4k has lost its filmic xfactor look. Amazing camera but can't get Tbsr magic touch regardless of grading techniques etc. Been a user of years.
Classy
Hmmm. Okay!
@@skyvistaproductions118 that means I thought it was awesome
Aha! Thank you!
EAUHEUAHEUUAHE BRAZILIANS LAUGHING HERE PLS!!
Eberth Santana, Thanks!
Clever. Well done 👏🏽😂
Agent E, thank you!
Letter III: Waiting for Repairs
LOL, fortunately, no problems so far for me!
SkyVista Productions Haha! Great work! The comedic change is perfect. Well done! Just tossing in my own humor... it's a solid camera 👍🏻
crystal clear and sound is perfect. Couple rod holders baited up is what I was waiting for but you know me. Lake Tarpon south end?
Thanks, Dave. Northeast.
I didn't expect to like it Haha.
