You know these day's we're all pixels pixels pixels sharp sharp sharp but when you see shots like these we're reminded no, not sharpness, not contrast...color. Well, that's easy to say being as how the sharpness is also spot on.
I loved the shot of the five guys and the fact it was filmed from outside the restaurant. Its almost like you are peeking in on the small intimate moments of life. Great video man!
Matteo, these are inspirational for amateurs like myself who enjoy photography using todays iPhones etc , especially on holidays without carrying around tons of equipment
I'm sorry if you feel the footage a little bit shaky. Again, I was on holidays and I was traveling very light. I could not bring a tripod with me :) cheers
+Matteo Bertoli Filmmaker - Could the Warp stabilizer fix the "shaky" problem? I have a stabilizer for my DSLR camera but the BPCC is too light for that stabilizer so it kinda "swing" a little bit if I use that. So I am debating if I should just handheld the BPCC and fix the shaky problem with Premiere or I should use the stabilizer and let it "swing" (but it's hard to control). Do you have any suggestions? Thanks! BTW, I really LOVE the color of your video!!
its ok but you could just edited. camera shake in softwares.its easy to remove those shakes. if you did that this footage will be more cinematic grade..
A little bit of natural shake is way better than stabilized jello shots. You can't get away from this with rolling shutter cameras like the BMPCC, stabilizers will remove shake but they really highlight this issue at the same time
Still amazing even in 2018. But, year doesn't matter. Amazing is timeless. But the shot at the beginning with the clouds and I think it was maybe a plane soaring through? My God... beautiful. Subbing. You're a talented filmmaker.
Hey Matteo, I know this is an older clip of the black magic pocket, but is there any way to get the new pocket 6k to look like this. I've yet to see it. This original pocket had the most organic film look I've seen on any of their line.
This is still brilliant in 2022!! Please can you tell me what aspect ratio and resolution did you upload this to RUclips?? I love the way it fills the whole screen, without having to zoom to fill. I’m going to buy one of these now!! I just checked $300 on eBay unbelievable!!
Hi, this is a beautiful video you have made. Quick question, in the video at 01:34 the footage of Big Ben seems cropped assuming you didn't use other lens other than Sigma 18-35mm. But the image does not look blurry. How do you do that? Thank you!!
hey so the first image from 0:09 the building at the back has this weird lines moving on it... it always happens to me with my camera... do you know what causes it and how to fix it??
Color e inquadrature stupende. Molte le avrei lasciate fisse ma posso capire che in viaggio e per strada non avresti potuto piazzare cavalletti. Bravo.
UPDATE: Thank you guys! I've been very busy lately and I was able to see some comments just now. Really appreciate. I think all the technical aspects are listed in the description, so if you expand that you will find all the information that you need. Again, this video was shot while I was on vacation in London. I didn't use any rig. I simply put the camera on my super 8mm camera handle and that's it. I didn't use any external monitor, or cages or nothing. Camera, metabones, sigma 18-35 and the handle. Again, thank you very much for all your comments and support. I just moved to Salt Lake City now and I am planning to shoot a Cinematic Salt Lake City video :) Stay tuned!
Few questions, What does the Speedbooster do? Did you over expose and compensate for it with the ND filter? And lastly, why Prores HQ instead of RAW? o.o
+Masi It reduces the crop factor and you can use your canon or nikon lenses with the pocket. I never overexposed. RAW is huge.. When I travel I can just use prores... I don't wanna have 500gb/1tb of footage for this kind of videos ;)
I don't know if you will see that Matteo but I wanted to say thank you, I've been a londoner for a year and your video brings back so much memories to me. But better than the memories, it brings back kind of a mood I couldn't find in any other video. Really, I was looking for some sample footage of the bmpcc some time ago, and I just landed on the channel of the great filmmaker that you are. I hope you're living out of it (if that's what you want) because you deserve it. :)
It’s amazing these black magic cameras. I prefer even this original over many of the higher end more expensive rigs that everyone gushes over. I’m rocking the 6k. And I have zero reasons for upgrading to anything else…
This is GREAT!!! I've been eyeing a BMPCC for a while now. They seem to go for a REALLY good price. Thank you for uploading this as its pushing me more towards getting one
The camera has an autofocus, but if you have an adapter for ef lenses you lose the autofocus. I have the camera and it doesn't focus on its own because of my speedbooster! But you might look into a lens with a mount that fits on the bmpc!
No actually. the camera doesn't have any autofocus. this is a cinema camera, if you're looking for something with autofocus you should get the sony a6300
Would you ever consider showing your color grading process to achieve this look? And what lens was used? Do you find the cropping to be problematic with this camera?
Hello, I am looking into getting a black magic and I was wondering what other equipment you’d recommend with it? Ie gimbals, lenses? Love your work, thank you!
Im just wondering how you change the aperture on the blackmagic. Im using manual aperture lenses at the moment and am limited to 3 asa (iso) options on the camera. Does this lens communicate with the blackmagic? In other words, are there more options as far as the aperture goes on the camera? Thanks
Matteo, I'm puzzled by how you manage to make your videos stay this sharp on youtube? It seems to me that there is a lot of variation in sharpness in these kind of videos, eventhough they are shot on same camera and same lenses etc. - Is there a codec that you export in, that retains the sharpness this good, or what's the secret? THANKS!
was just wondering ..i get another shade while recording is there any way of changing the colour shade while recording or the only way is to colour grade...?
would you say to buy the BMpocket or invest in the 4k - I am starting with filming and want to start making short films for a portfolio for my university internship and not too sure what to start out with to make nice scenes..if I am invest my money in my trips, I don't want to just film with anything- do you understand where I am coming from? haha I would appreciate any advice Matteo!
+While Im Here For starting BMPCC is absolutely a great camera. 4k is becoming very popular tho, at least here in the US. But if it's for personal projects you should get this bmpcc ;)
Hey nice showcase for the Pocket Cinema Camera. I am currently thinking about buying one myself - also with the Sigma 19-35, as kind of every forum-member ever advises if you're going for a cinematic effect. Now I am not very experienced or have read all too much and have not heard much about Speedboosters. Whats the purpose and effect of Speedboosters? Why do you need them? Whats their effect on the image? Especially in this combination of the Pocket Cinema Camera with the Sigma, whats the benefit of a 600-700$ speedbooster?
Not a huge expert myself but speed boosters take the image from a lens designed for a particular sized sensor and narrow it down to work better with a smaller sensor. It gives you more light on the sensor and shallower depth of field at your widest aperture.
this so good image. I never comment on anything really on youtube. But I like this video so much it reminds me of something but I dont know what it is. the grading feels like its from 70s really like that
I love the vibe, and this weirdly features so many locations I’ve loved for the last 4 years of living in London! Shame about all the micro jitter the pocket 4K and sigma 18-35 has, I found this out the hard way too, using it on a c100 and realising how shaky all my footage was, you think you’ll get some form of cage with handles or something else to try and reduce the shake you’re getting?
Flippin heck man! If I had this camera I'd somehow still botch up the focus. That being said, great footage and I'm quite impressed with the DOF. Too bad this was out of my budget last year when I was buying a camera. I'm super jealous now lol
For handheld, this is quite steady. Does the BMPCC have internal stabilization? Also, do you know if you can edit the footage in consumer editing programs such as Corel Video Studio Pro? What format does it record?
+nictheartist It doesn't have internal stabilization... I don't know what corel video is but you can use software like imovie for sure. it does raw dng or apple prores ;)
loveeeee the color in this
+Sara Dietschy Wow fancy seeing you here!
I didn't even know about this camera until you recommended it!
+Miniature Barbarian same..
I literally just searched up black magic and was thinking of you!
Ops, sorry for the late reply. Weird I didn't see the comment before! Thank you :)
What LUT did you use - thank you in advance
What a little powerhouse of a camera this still is. Easily good enough for a feature film.
This is beautiful man seriously that plane in the sky shot took my breath away
Penso di averti conosciuto con questo filmato e devo dire che a distanza di anni continua ad essere attuale e memorabile! Grande Matteo!!!
You know these day's we're all pixels pixels pixels sharp sharp sharp but when you see shots like these we're reminded no, not sharpness, not contrast...color. Well, that's easy to say being as how the sharpness is also spot on.
I'm still amazed with how retro this looks. It puts a smile on my face.
WOW. I'm blown away by the quality of this footage, I had no idea Blackmagic made such an affordable camera which provided such quality results
I loved the shot of the five guys and the fact it was filmed from outside the restaurant. Its almost like you are peeking in on the small intimate moments of life. Great video man!
Edmundo Rubio i was actually inside, downstairs :) thanks!!
Matteo, these are inspirational for amateurs like myself who enjoy photography using todays iPhones etc , especially on holidays without carrying around tons of equipment
Thanks, really appreciate!
Still a special camera this one, and it definitely shows how bit depth matters. Nice work, I might have to try and find one.
I'm sorry if you feel the footage a little bit shaky. Again, I was on holidays and I was traveling very light. I could not bring a tripod with me :) cheers

Thanks!
BTW, I really LOVE the color of your video!!
+Matteo Bertoli Filmmaker A little handheld movement only adds to the BMPCC aesthetic. Don't ever stabilize it out in post! This video is lovely
its ok but you could just edited. camera shake in softwares.its easy to remove those shakes. if you did that this footage will be more cinematic grade..
A little bit of natural shake is way better than stabilized jello shots. You can't get away from this with rolling shutter cameras like the BMPCC, stabilizers will remove shake but they really highlight this issue at the same time
Maybe a slight warp stabalizer would have helped. :)
Amazing video!
Damn. This camera still looks amazing. 4K is great and all but this is just a testament to true talent and vision! Really good images!
I love this. Its clearly a Vacation Home Movie, but it draws you in as its not just "Phone Camera" Rubbish. Lovely Editing and Colour Grading.
I just keep going back to your Legacy BMPCC stuff. Just too good.
I love shots like 0:17... They always make me think of that one scene in Superman when he takes off and goes supersonic. Looks magical
Thanks!
I still come back to this video! i love it
Visited England for the first time in 2018, I was 18 then. It was magical, I had an amazing time there
Wow! This footage is absolutely stunning. I can't believe how awesome the BMPCC's footage looks. Great job.
Love the quality of the footage, the atmosphere, colors.. nice job, great camera.
Color grading looks great, and the night shots came out clean, great work.
Still amazing even in 2018. But, year doesn't matter. Amazing is timeless. But the shot at the beginning with the clouds and I think it was maybe a plane soaring through? My God... beautiful. Subbing. You're a talented filmmaker.
This is one of the best bmpcc footage vids I've seen great job and great coloring
Thanks Peter
so gorgeous!!! could u share the information about bitrate exporting and how could u upload on youtube with this quality??? thank you so very much...
Please follow my fb page and I'll do a q&a soon ;)
Sooo cool! Love how you showed both daytime examples and night time examples👌🏼 such a good camera! Very cool film 🙌🏼
Great footage. And I love that Camden Market. The food there is so good.

I've never been to London. However, this showed me the beautiful scenery of London has. Thank you so much. :)

I had a 18-35 so a real 30-62... I just shot it at 62, no crop :)
Amazing!!! And I thought it had been made raw until I looked at the description... Congratulations !! Your video helped me decide on a blackmagic
👍 I agree with Sara, the color in this is fantastic! Great Footage, Matteo!! The OG BMPCC is forever awesome!! Cheers :)
hey so the first image from 0:09 the building at the back has this weird lines moving on it... it always happens to me with my camera... do you know what causes it and how to fix it??
Color e inquadrature stupende.
Molte le avrei lasciate fisse ma posso capire che in viaggio e per strada non avresti potuto piazzare cavalletti.
Bravo.
Great job I use myself this camera for vocational training . Very good camera
Black magic is undefeated
color grading is PERFECT!!!!
GOOD JOB MAN!!!

kinda heavy for having arround on a vacation no??
Love the grading man, absolutely stunning.
Matteo Bertoli Filmmaker Great Video!
you should check out Luuv, it's a pretty lightweight hand held stabiliser. its really neat.
Matteo Bertoli Visuals ,
Color is Fantastic!!
Few questions,
What does the Speedbooster do?
Did you over expose and compensate for it with the ND filter?
And lastly, why Prores HQ instead of RAW? o.o
+Masi It reduces the crop factor and you can use your canon or nikon lenses with the pocket. I never overexposed. RAW is huge.. When I travel I can just use prores... I don't wanna have 500gb/1tb of footage for this kind of videos ;)

PedCampeones thanks man!!!
Inspiring. I am thinking of getting this camera, or is there something better at the same price range these days? Thanks!!!
FAITHFAIL depends what you re looking for... color science on this camera is solid and the best out there for the price... no 4k and no slowmo tho...
Beautiful footage - I don't need one but I want one of these cameras now!
Lovely work, great colors.
Daaamn,that's some next level color grading..
Really Cool! Great work Matteo!
Colori spettacolari e belle inquadrature, ottimo video!
lucafrancinimusic grazie!
very great shot. it helps me a lot to find the final output from BPCC. thanks :)
beautiful, beautiful, beautiful job!! Could you tell me if the Lumix 12-35 2.8 (MFT) in good complement to BMPCC. THANK YOU
Thanks! No idea never tried
It’s amazing these black magic cameras. I prefer even this original over many of the higher end more expensive rigs that everyone gushes over. I’m rocking the 6k. And I have zero reasons for upgrading to anything else…
I am in love with this camera. Hope one day will own it. Great video btw
This shot at 0:17 blew me away....!
notevole matteo sei bravissmo... complimenti
This is GREAT!!! I've been eyeing a BMPCC for a while now. They seem to go for a REALLY good price. Thank you for uploading this as its pushing me more towards getting one
This is incredible - and I love the shakiness, it makes it so much more personal and intimate. Thanks for sharing +Matteo Bertoli Filmmaker :)
Thank you!
amazing color grading
Really nice work, very beautyful !!
cool video!!!.
I am thinking to buy this camera, but my worry is the lens. Is there a lens with stabilizer and autofocus for this camera?.
The camera has an autofocus, but if you have an adapter for ef lenses you lose the autofocus. I have the camera and it doesn't focus on its own because of my speedbooster! But you might look into a lens with a mount that fits on the bmpc!
Thanks!!!. At the end, I am thinking to buy the Lumix G7. (less issues). Easy life.
MathSurf Np.. But if you want to get a look like this download da vinci and watch some tuts for a cinematic looks
No actually. the camera doesn't have any autofocus. this is a cinema camera, if you're looking for something with autofocus you should get the sony a6300
Matteo Bertoli Filmmaker No I am pretty sure that it has got a autofocus. I have the camera and there even is a button that says FOCUS
Please can you tell me, did you use any sharp in post? Beutiful video
This color grading is amazing? Any tips?
Would you ever consider showing your color grading process to achieve this look? And what lens was used?
Do you find the cropping to be problematic with this camera?
My latest video is online! I used a sigma 18 35 f 1.8 with metabones speedbooster that means 1.60 crop factor. Pretty decent.
Even in 2018 this looks fantastisch and i think a great camera to buy
I would like to know what is the maximum recording in a single clip, talking about minutes, maybe 29?
no idea, never record such a long clip
Looks fantastic
Simply stunning!
Hello, I am looking into getting a black magic and I was wondering what other equipment you’d recommend with it? Ie gimbals, lenses? Love your work, thank you!
Fantastic job grading this!
Outstanding job, would you mind sharing your export settings for RUclips?
H264 1080 50mbs
Awesome! Love the colors
Is it possible to write the name of the lens and also placed the ring on the camera please...
Perfect shots!
Im just wondering how you change the aperture on the blackmagic. Im using manual aperture lenses at the moment and am limited to 3 asa (iso) options on the camera. Does this lens communicate with the blackmagic? In other words, are there more options as far as the aperture goes on the camera? Thanks
Very nice work ! What is the resolution please
1080

Johnson82ish hey! No secret, i just export a prores lt or h264, nothing crazy
was just wondering ..i get another shade while recording is there any way of changing the colour shade while recording or the only way is to colour grade...?
Beautiful work!
How can you upload your video with the biggest aspect ratio or longer frames in youtube??? In the youtube player, your video looks wider and longer
would you say to buy the BMpocket or invest in the 4k - I am starting with filming and want to start making short films for a portfolio for my university internship and not too sure what to start out with to make nice scenes..if I am invest my money in my trips, I don't want to just film with anything- do you understand where I am coming from? haha I would appreciate any advice Matteo!
+While Im Here For starting BMPCC is absolutely a great camera. 4k is becoming very popular tho, at least here in the US. But if it's for personal projects you should get this bmpcc ;)
I'd like to learn about videography and am considering the Black Magic pocket camera. Great video!!
Lots of IR contamination on the road at 3:20. No IR filter?
Nope..
great color grading
Fab video thanks for sharing and like your grading really nice.
this is beautiful work
good shoots
Please make a tutorial if you can how to rech this colog grading.
looks beautiful
Looks great! Any kind of ND filters or polarizers used?
Isaac Gray thanks, tiffen variable nd

Hello nice shot!; you graded in Davinci or Premiere?, Prores HQ or Prores 422 HQ? thanks!
Love this video can I purchase this Lut from you and put it on a Panasonic GH4, Panasonic GH5 and Panasonic GH5s.
Flippin heck man! If I had this camera I'd somehow still botch up the focus. That being said, great footage and I'm quite impressed with the DOF. Too bad this was out of my budget last year when I was buying a camera. I'm super jealous now lol
is 0,58x speedbooster ok with aps-c lenses on BMPCC?
Really enjoyed this video. Thanks!
For handheld, this is quite steady. Does the BMPCC have internal stabilization? Also, do you know if you can edit the footage in consumer editing programs such as Corel Video Studio Pro? What format does it record?
+nictheartist It doesn't have internal stabilization... I don't know what corel video is but you can use software like imovie for sure. it does raw dng or apple prores ;)
+Matteo Bertoli Filmmaker Thanks.
how do you deal with the noise? any noise reduction? ( grading is sooo cool)
Woow i really enjoyed this video. very nice work.
Thanks!
Nice 👍 work
I need advice would you recommend bmpc or Sony a7
a7 or a7s II? over the a7 bmpcc for sure
Great footage!
Love it!
