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 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
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 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!
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.
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!
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. :)
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!!
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 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
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
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
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.
The color and sharpness is really amazing from this little cam. Cinema quality stuff. The footage is a bit shaky at times, which kindo breaks the cinema feeling of it. I've watched some of your other work, the wooden bootle ad is really good with the dolly shots etc, super good feeling and professional look :)
+Bananas and Bass It kinda depends on the occasion doesn't it? Shaky camera work is being used a lot in cinema, during war scenes, car chases, when the main character is in distress,... So I wouldn't say shaky camera work breaks the cinematic feeling, but it's all subjective anyway.
Brandon Lagaert Yes that's true. But there's different kinds of shake. There's more grand gesture shakes, and more smaller vibration-like shakes. The size of a camera and maybe rig has a lot to do with how a handheld shot will look eventually. If you put a mid-size or large video/cine camera in your hands and walk around. It will move around the frame a bit, like shake, but not vibrate. If you hold an iPhone or M4/3 camera in your hand wihtout IS, it will micro shake/jitter/vibrate differently. I'm just clarifying that I'm not talking about handheld vs tripod/dolly. But rather vibrations. Since most cinema handheld is still stabilised by at least a shoulder rig. Which will move, but just dampen vibrations, and just allow for more natural shakes that don't distract much and can actually add to indeed action shots etc.
I love the color grading. maybe some warp stabilizer (or a tripod) o some shots would make it even cooler but I guess in that way is more original. Love it dude. Keep up the good work.
I enjoy the footage shot, but I don't care for the color - a teal/orange combo, while very Hollywood, looks tired in general, so in my opinion, I would love to see what the footage would look like with a more "natural" color scheme.
Could not disagree more. This footage is not overly orange and teal a la Michael Bay, either. I love the colour science with this particular camera. It's the nearest to an alexa without being an alexa you can get.
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?
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!
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?
So the lens and booster you used were Nikon? or Canon? From your description I got that it was Nikon but had some doubt since you also listed Canon mounts. Great video btw! 👍🏼
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!
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.
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
This is beautiful man seriously that plane in the sky shot took my breath away
What a little powerhouse of a camera this still is. Easily good enough for a feature film.
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.
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 still amazed with how retro this looks. It puts a smile on my face.
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?

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!
Penso di averti conosciuto con questo filmato e devo dire che a distanza di anni continua ad essere attuale e memorabile! Grande Matteo!!!
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!
I still come back to this video! i love it
I just keep going back to your Legacy BMPCC stuff. Just too good.
Love the quality of the footage, the atmosphere, colors.. nice job, great camera.
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 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 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.
Visited England for the first time in 2018, I was 18 then. It was magical, I had an amazing time there
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 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!!
Wow! This footage is absolutely stunning. I can't believe how awesome the BMPCC's footage looks. Great job.
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.
👍 I agree with Sara, the color in this is fantastic! Great Footage, Matteo!! The OG BMPCC is forever awesome!! Cheers :)
I've never been to London. However, this showed me the beautiful scenery of London has. Thank you so much. :)
Color is Fantastic!!
Sooo cool! Love how you showed both daytime examples and night time examples👌🏼 such a good camera! Very cool film 🙌🏼
Great job I use myself this camera for vocational training . Very good camera
Color grading looks great, and the night shots came out clean, great work.
Great footage. And I love that Camden Market. The food there is so good.
This is one of the best bmpcc footage vids I've seen great job and great coloring
Thanks Peter
Color e inquadrature stupende.
Molte le avrei lasciate fisse ma posso capire che in viaggio e per strada non avresti potuto piazzare cavalletti.
Bravo.
Amazing!!! And I thought it had been made raw until I looked at the description... Congratulations !! Your video helped me decide on a blackmagic
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!
This shot at 0:17 blew me away....!
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 ,
Beautiful footage - I don't need one but I want one of these cameras now!
Daaamn,that's some next level color grading..
Looks fantastic
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.

PedCampeones thanks man!!!
very great shot. it helps me a lot to find the final output from BPCC. thanks :)
Lovely work, great colors.
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!!
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…
Simply stunning!
Colori spettacolari e belle inquadrature, ottimo video!
lucafrancinimusic grazie!
I am in love with this camera. Hope one day will own it. Great video btw
I'd like to learn about videography and am considering the Black Magic pocket camera. Great video!!
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
notevole matteo sei bravissmo... complimenti
amazing color grading
Perfect shots!
Fantastic job grading this!
Really nice work, very beautyful !!
Awesome! Love the colors
Really Cool! Great work Matteo!
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

Even in 2018 this looks fantastisch and i think a great camera to buy
I love this so much!!
Beautiful work!
this is beautiful work

Wow this is so cinematic! 3:00
looks beautiful

Black magic is undefeated
Beautiful Video!
it looks amazing!!
good shoots
amazing!!!!!
one more (video)reason for buying this cam!
Александр Лапин
???
Very nice work.
Great work!
great color grading
Fantastic!
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...
I love the color grading. maybe some warp stabilizer (or a tripod) o some shots would make it even cooler but I guess in that way is more original. Love it dude. Keep up the good work.
Thanks man!
Great footage!

Woow i really enjoyed this video. very nice work.
Thanks!
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.
Beautiful. Ilike it
great video! Inspired us to make our own london video we uploaded today! Our own spin on it of course
Great video!
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?

Johnson82ish hey! No secret, i just export a prores lt or h264, nothing crazy
Very nice shot ;)
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?
This color grading is amazing? Any tips?
Love it!
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
nice shots :D
So the lens and booster you used were Nikon? or Canon? From your description I got that it was Nikon but had some doubt since you also listed Canon mounts.
Great video btw! 👍🏼
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!
I love watching in 360p...
Very nice mate, in some shots it would be better with a tripod, other than that, amazing grading and shots.
true. but I actually kinda liked the hand hold look, makes it feel more real and immersive sometimes.
