Oh interesting,. If you could track down an original integrated tap system, we could adapt it to HD no problem. Please feel free to to hit us up @tye1138 on instagram.

Awesome! I can't wait for them to re-open the dome so we can get back to screening!

Thanks so much. I love the big camera form factor, I come from the ENG days. I just know how those cameras work and I love having my left hand free of needing to stabilize the camera so I can work the lens. I'm gonna get a B4 mount shortly and snag some OG B4 lenses and see how that goes. I really think it's a great solution and the B4 mount has an optic in it, so you can get full imager use! So it's a pretty sick little setup if that's the case, working like the old Betacam days. I'll make more content on this subject, so stick around!

Haha, I'm glad we see eye to eye! :P

Thanks! For sure not for everyone, but absolutely a game changer for our workflows. We should have it out this February for the winter shoot at D&S.

It's so cool! hahah Hard to find, but very cool.

@@raredreamfootage Oh no doubt, but I’m mostly worried about highlight retention personally. I don’t shoot in the dark.

@@khyberjones131 Yea I can probably do that at some point, others have said the same thing and I agree for sure. BMD just have a more “filmic” image and camera design over all in this case.

​@@NarrowGaugeFilmsLLC Yeah the Reds definitely have a certain look. I actually think the Dragon benefits from shooting cropped down to introduce some noise and softness to bring the image to life a bit more. Always thought the Ursa's (G2 and up) were the best *reasonably priced* digital camera design and sensor that can pretty much do it all, though never fell in love with them. The 12k looks great

Thanks, ya it's for sure a unique experience due to my workflow.

Yep! However, the body style I never liked. It always killed me as a shooter. I need something that can be hand held without some cumbersome rig and go right on a tripod the next second like a studio camera. I wish the UMP 6k would do the same thing, but alas it's S35mm imager, so it doesn't. Plus, there is a big difference between 2.6k and 6k, especially on a CMOS imager, which means you have half the amount of blue and red channels as green channels. At least the RGBW imager has a clever way of retaining full RGB values all the time and retain decent resolution.

@@NarrowGaugeFilmsLLC that's true!

@@Zeidify Yea I’ll for sure be getting whatever BMD make next for a small camera as well. I don’t like the current 6k FF imager, or I’d also own a Pyxis for those run and gun shoots.

@ I like the Micro G2 & Pyxis, both good weight/form factor but no ibis so went for GH7, focal reducer, & video assist. Depends if you run around a lot or not

@@Zeidify Yea, I do run and gun, but it's mostly shoulder mount anyway, I don't like small cameras out in front of you, I want the camera to be stable without a gimbal.

@ That’s something I have been struggling with honestly, I find shoulder mounted is very uncomfortable & hurts my back/shoulder

@@Zeidify Ah got ya, yea it can be challenging for sure. So are you using a gimbal.

@@gewurzbonon9039 The new micro I haven’t used, it’s not a bad idea honestly just kind of an odd package for a shoot. I prefer the bigger camera with the more commercial workflow. I’ve talked to the guys making a mod for the micro and I may be able to test a prototype. Maybe worth getting one to test.

@@kennyadvocat Yep! That’s what we were using with an expander.

@@jamesandcamera Hopefully the price will go down eventually. Keep your eyes open on ebay. I got this kit for $4700 USD. Give it a year, they’ll be $3500.

@@haloboy456 Good point, thanks! Sadly they haven’t yet implemented a decent raw compressed codec. Hopefully they will shortly.

@@NarrowGaugeFilmsLLC Prores 4444 is very good, I don't miss the raw that much...

@@TheStoriesWeTell Believe it or not, I almost got a demo camera from them but when I found out it shoots pro res only, I bailed. Pro Res 6k 4444 is 3x more bandwidth than BRAW 5:1 on the UMP in 8k. That’s how good the BRAW codec is. No debayer either because it doesn’t have a bayer pattern. So you’re actually gobbling up way more space on the Kinifinity which is really too bad. I love the cameras they make and what they’re doing but BRAW is super nice, way better than any other raw codec I’ve used. The new 12K Cine FF, ups the quality of BRAW even more with way better compression.

@@TheStoriesWeTell I still think BRAW is more efficient than Prores 4444

@@Calgothits Haha yep! Good choice if you’re ok with 1080p.

@@NarrowGaugeFilmsLLC It recently took me a day and a half to upscale a 1 hour and 45 min movie from 1080p 30 to 4k 30, Im hopeful for sub 8 hour upscale times as cpus and gpus continue to advance 👍

Nice! Are you shooting with a external recorder via the SDI? also have you checked out the digital praxis cineon log gamma for the f900r? Expands the dynamic range of the camera significantly

@@Calgothits Were you using Topaz?

@ Yup, running topaz with a ryzen 9 5900x, 64gb ddr5, rtx 3080.

@@nestorarranz3179 Yea the 12K FF is very nice, I have shot with it and very impressed.

Thanks so much! We will be shooting our first "hybrid" shoot in Feb, so we'll be able to show something probably in March/April on how it works between 16mm and digital.

@@NarrowGaugeFilmsLLC I suscribed for this ;)

Yea gotta keep the ball rolling. Shooting on film is my passion, but it also can't prevent me from making content.

Thanks! Been doing it for 20 years! haha :P

Well the 12k is a superior camera in my opinion, having shot with the 4.6k as well.

That's easy, 12K all day long because the 4.6K G2 suffers from fixed patterned noise.

@@raredreamfootage That’s correct, it does indeed, but I’d say the fixed pattern noise occurs later, past the point the noise of the 12K already is too heavy, at least for my taste. I’d also say the 4.6K G2 has a healthy amount more dynamic range. Of course having 6K resolution in S16 mode with the URSA 12K is way better than 2K with the G2 ;-)

@@nikksterio86 One of them yep.

Bro, this video was made before you even posted your shit. That's because everyone does what you're doing. Wake up.

@@noahmartinez5002 Awesome, congrats! Feel free to reach out if you need any help @tye1138 on instagram.

@@shapoorp You can try reaching out to them and see if they could help. Phoenix is not horribly expensive, it’s around $349/month for everything but you can buy a smaller package and only get it when you need it.

@@LasPatojasPresentan Original Blackmagic pocket 1080p.

Thanks so much!

Thanks! I hope to bring a lot more stuff to the channel soon! Keep an eye out!

Oh yea, its long melted lol :P

Are you sure? I always follow Arri IIc instruction manual for loading: film loop consisting of 54 perforation holes and counting 15 perforation holes between mouth of magazine and claw’s uppermost point. Film is always dragging on the floor of chamber.

@@4maccie Yea sorry, been super busy. I’ll work on it next.

So glad you replied. Another super interesting one you should do, is a proper video about film camera prep (steadiness, charts, frame.leader exc). Thanks you re the man. Best from Italy

Here ya go! We will have it posted once we have the package ready. vimeo.com/658164874

@@Lenox-bp3lu I rated this test at 200, I think it works well.

34db when tuned, it's 2db louder than a 35III

@@PeterConnell90 Yea, I have been working on a bunch of personal 35mm projects and ya know, I kinda gave up and sold all my 35mm gear in 2022. Value of all of it was high and I got out. 16mm is easier to deal with and has a more filmic look. 35mm almost looks digital with a good scan and presentation. It’s almost like you’re spending money on something that is indistinguishable from digital so why bother? Only one of those projects is worth watching or available at this time, if you wanna check it out; vimeo.com/658164874

@@NarrowGaugeFilmsLLC yeh i know what you mean. I have found that with 70mm too, can almost look digital. There is a sweet spot. I guess 35mm scans back in the day weren't as good so almost looks like 16mm, I'm thinking of cape fear for example or similar. Though the close ups of cilian murphy on 70mm oppenheimer were still incredibly filmic. I wouldn't say no to the opportunity. I'll check out that vimeo link thanks
