@vicharris Can you please elaborate how the Tiffin Water White ND filters are a problem on the Pocket Camera? This is not good news as I have a set and was planning on using them. Thanks

@vicharris thanks for letting me know.. gonna get a set of Hoyas than UV, IR, and ND yeah you right 77mm is future proof.

@last_SHIFT Your collection of lenses is on that BeastMode nice.. I tip my hat to you sir impressive. Yeah I gotta get me a Hoya IR cut filter need that ASAP to get better images. What size are you getting the 55mm thread one or the 77mm ? Big price difference huuh. I also have the Tiffen Water Whites ND Collection from Shane Hurlbut.. those are really nice Zero shift in color. Davinci Resolve has a steep learning curve but once you get it you get it, just gotta learn the basics than it will all make sense.

@TrackZillas

I'm using Nikkor 28/2 AI and 50/1.8 AIS - with BMPCC Speedbooster - also using the Panny 20/1.7 and 12-35/2.8, and Oly 45/1.8. Unfortunately, haven't had much time to play since I got it 6 weeks ago - also waiting on my Hoya UV/IR cut and stuff like that. There's also stuff like needing time to learn learning resolve, etc :-p

@Trackzillas Are you running into any problems with the 20mm? It's weird, I had no issues with my first BMPCC but I sent it back due to dead pixels. The newest copy of my BMPCC doesn't play nice with the 20mm, often changing aperture randomly and focus shifting. I updated the firmware of the BMPCC and the lens is up to date on Firmware too. I think it has something to do with which generation 20mm. I think I have the 1st gen...

@last_SHIFT Thank you.. I got you about the full frame equivalent but really I have no problem with the field of view that I'm getting. I'm currently using the infamous Panasonic 20mm f1.7, Pana 14 - 42mm, Asahi Takumar 28mm f 3.5.. The 50mm & up glasses that I own I haven't messed around with yet. The IQ on that camera is something else, and the DR in ProRes is so impressive.. I played around with some Arri Alexa footage in the past for a project I was working on and the Pocket footage is so reminiscent of that Arri ProRes. What glasses are you using with your BMPCC ?

I am loving the BMPCC after one day of shooting.. The image is sharp, the amount of detail amazing, color separation is excellent yet it still retains it's organic nature shooting ProRes not even in RAW mode WOW.... haven't tried RAW as of yet because my workflow will be mostly ProRes. I own a Canon 50D and shoot RAW with it, the Pocket is sharper, own a GH2 and would have to say that it surpasses it as well. Whoever said the BMPCC images are soft I can firmly say that they are wrong I guess they don't really know how to focus with it, or using the wrong set of lens. A couple more things I like to cover The crop factor is a none issue don't listen to all the hoopla talk about Full Frame, S35, APS-C Sensors.. I still get some nice shallow depth of field. Another thing the screen being really bad I was outside in direct sunlight and was still able to pull focus and see my screen off course you need some kind of sun hood as so any other camera c'mon people stop the bashing. The menu is simple and intuitive very easy to navigate love it.. The shadows holds-up nicely, even when exposing for highlights the shadows still hold nicely and clean. All I can say is that Blackmagic Design did a wonderful job.. even without the ability to delete files in camera, even with the lack of an histogram, even with the Batteries life being none existent that was a joke but it's bad you will need 4-5 batteries they are cheap people, even with the lack of touchscreen, even with an ok internal audio recording this camera is still Epic. I see it as a real Movie making Camera, and an A Camera to say the least.. Despite all the saying that it's not an A camera don't believe all the chatter and noise out there it's better than you'll ever expect. A long write-up I know but I had to clear the air, and make others who are thinking on buying one more informed. Conclusion for the Quality you get, Price, and Value it's a must have Camera & I must say ahead of it's time.. you got my full support Blackmagic.

@Tron thank you.. gonna try it out. If you have more tips and tricks please let know.

@AZScott

I completely agree with everything you said. :). The reason it's cut the way it is is because the two subjects are not the best on camera and they stumbled a lot, so I resorted to the CU a lot more than I originally planned. To put it into perspective, the three-minute video was pieced together from a 90-minute shoot! The fella on the right is particularly bad on camera (probably the worst I've worked with, and I do a lot of interviewing), so just getting the edit to where it is now is an accomplishment. :)

@TrackZillas I prefer to ETTR with 85% zebras recording Raw and 90% zebras recording ProRes (not as easy to lift clean shadows in ProRes). Very good results thus far... the camera is more susceptible to moire/debayering artifacts in Raw mode shooting water (waves), clothing and sharp edges but it still seems very well controlled overall. Have fun!

@pinger007

There's not a thing to complain about in the quality of the footage, in fact it's some of the best-graded skin tones I've seen yet out of the pocket. Your eye for shooting is fantastic, in my opinion. I have to comment on the editing, however. To me, it seems way too frenetic for the subject matter. I understand what you were going for, the two gentlemen having an intimate conversation in Over-The-Shoulder, but then allowing them to connect with the audience by looking straight towards the cameras front. And, making it look like you had more than two cameras with multiple takes. If you had shot live in one take, it would have been minimum 5 cams: OTS L and R, Master Wide (front), and Singles L and R. That's too many angles for a simple 2-person conversation (even one designed for persuasion), and it can lead to being cut like an extreme sporting event. Many of your cuts were great, with artful pacing, and it looks like some of your choices were based on making good continuity where there was none.

I would challenge you to try a cut with only the OTS and the wide master, and save punching in to the front singles for the prime moment. Try that, just as an exercise, and see if you don't like the pacing better. Also, the OTS on L when he turns away to the audience camera at 1:35 disconnected me. Better to cut to the front early, and let him turn into the new shot.

Sorry if I've veered completely off topic, but I also had sync issues on Chrome on iOS, but none on Chrome on MacOS. And no offense meant - I really do appreciate what you've done, and I look forward to seeing more of your work.

I am always using Firefox and never had any issues with sync (I am a plus user).
