    Honestly Black Magic needs to do a throwback for this camera updating the media storage, UI, and battery. Definitely think it would sell well in a market were people are looking for compact affordable and easy to travel with cameras.

      @@BlaineWestropp1 Yeah! 4K would be nice if possible without making it much bigger if any. I sadly don't think Black Magic will revisit this camera as it seems they are focusing now on making full frame cameras. But I would love for them to revisit this form factor and really emphasize on it being a "pocket" camera

      ​@@LeapingDogFilmsIf you are interested in the BMPCC OG, check out the CinePi. It's an open source camera that uses a Raspberry Pi and a sensor of your choice (the one the project is focusing on has the same size as the OG pocket). The new demos came out on CinePi's channel show it working with a dual gain sensor (one of the biggest selling points of the Fairchild sensor the BMPCC OG uses) recording a 16bit raw image.
      The coolest thing is that the camera is modular so one could upgrade components as time goes by.
      I would also advise against buying a BMPCC OG over $200 because having repaired mine I can tell you it's quite fragile and almost impossible to find parts for.

      @BlaineWestropp1  Месяц назад

      Hey thanks so much! I like intuitive, well designed technology! For focus, I see more mistakes with autofocus stuff than I do with manual focus stuff. I can often times see the focus hunting. Like when I film myself talking to RUclips, I don’t use auto focus. If I move forward or back, I fall out of focus slightly. I notice anyone on YT using AF, which is totally fine. For manual focus you can get good at it by just doing it a lot and messing up sometimes, or you just hire a 1st AC and they handle it. That really is the way. That being said I pull my own focus all the time. Even sometimes I have the AC disengage the focus motor so I can do it if I am operating. It all comes down to practice, knowing what you want, and choosing the right options.

    Walking around, seeing something cool and missing the moment is a great motivator to learn how to use your camera faster (at least for me it is).

    Love that camera, I shot my first feature ( a micro budget crime film in 2019) on the OG. Since I had to move locations, setup real quickly, and was looking for something with decent quality the OG worked out perfectly. I screened it in a few theaters and now its on TUBI ( film is called Dirt City) and aside from it being extremely low budget, i believe it looked pretty good on the big screen. I bought the cam from an old skater friend who didn't have any use for it.

Now I can free my OG Pocket from it's cage and adapter so I can use it as a pocket camera. Trying to figure out what Lumix lens to get since that 14-42 you're using has a long history of issues.

      this is great. glad you got the 6k. the FF right? I really dont mind the caveats.. the Alexa (my favorite camera ever) has all those same things. no ibis, fast battery drain, and no significant low light performance are all part of all the best cameras ever made in my opinion. sure it is cool to have an fx3 that can see in the dark and the battery lasts all day, but I am used to an Alexa that runs for 45 minutes and having 12 gold mount batteries that need to be moved around. I could fit 12 bmpcc batts in my other pocket! it does go back to the simplicity.. I even like when batteries dont last for a long time, sometimes. makes you more intentional. like film. so having all of those things are fine with me, and having all of them in a camera I can carry around all day is super cool. glad you got the bmpcc back in your pocket!

    Excellent as always. I think you might be looking for the cine equivalent of a leica rangefinder m series, m3-6. I guess a digital braun nizo would make some sense and i have never really understood why that form factor disappeared bar for camcorders. I think the sony handycam mini dv was probably the game changer with the flip out screen. If we are interested in capturing what we see around us then it never made sense to me to have any camera that you didn’t put up to your eye to shoot. That said i used to love how reportage photographers would extend their arm and point the camera in the general direction of the action knowing the lens and focus were taken care of. For play back having a screen is nice for sure but for shooting?? I think that is where bm got confused or at least made a counter intuitive decision though it did tie in the moment of shooting with the moment of viewing as its usp. Clever from a wysiwyg dopamine pov. Maybe its the kind of decision that is made by someone who has never been a photographer and hasnt experienced the delay inherent in seeing film rushes back. I think point and shoot has always made sense and coming from using film cameras and their simplicity especially when thinking about a bolex it is easy to see how bruce webber shot lets get lost on one and got nominated for an Oscar. Btw i am surprised you are not shooting in monochrome b and w. Im sure you already have. Mank? Fellini? Woody Allen’s Manhattan? Slipping my Komodo to the achromic lut is like breathing out after holding my breath. Everything is so easy in terms of shooting and reducing the decision making down to the subject and the frame. I remember having a leica r series and for some reason shot widescreen on it always on b and w film. I think i was experimenting with panoramic set ups at the time. Just amazing. My memory is so fuzzy but i remember the contact sheets having a super wide neg frame. Always been a fan of 239. I put anamorphics on dvcams and i look at all my old footage that is framed so perfectly (?) because the cameras were so low tech and lens orientated being film or early digital that i really wish they could have some more fidelity. Upres software just doesnt work on it. Still they capture a time and place i guess. Sorry i am drifting. Thx for the post. An absolute pleasure as always.

    • @BlaineWestropp1
      @BlaineWestropp1  13 дней назад +1

      hey sorry for the delay. the 14-42 is cool. it is kind of annoying to focus and zoom, as both are on an electronic motor. but it is tiny. the OIS does work, but you can't turn it off. I would look into a lens where you could turn it off. all I know about the ND is that it says URTH 37 BL ND2-400!

    I always trashed this camera back in the day. But you make a good argument for it.
    Though what you said made me think about tripods. They're very simple though a lot can be said about a tilt or pan shot. I was on a jewellery shoot recently shooting in a Komodo with Cooke lenses and a ronin 2 and when we got into the edit I was like this could have been 90% on sticks and could have been more impactful. While I also think due to time pressure we never got the ronin balanced properly due to how front and bottom heavy the rig was so the tripod could have saved us time too.

    • @BlaineWestropp1

      tripod is definitely very useful. I like how I see less tripod stuff lately. it makes me use a tripod more.

      Tripods are certainly the one really helps keep you grounded and makes like simple and I absolutely love dollies, I am not crazy about gimbals just as they're so over used though they certainly have a place and I think if you keep life simple use simple techniques you'll end up having a more impactful moment I'd try and leave out complications for a specific shot rather than the whole thing
      Also the democracy of great filmmaking gear gets a lot of people trying these shots that unless your intentional with them won't actually add and will dilute what you're trying to say. Being more economical with the shots is a better way to be

    Great advice here: Learn to not rely on all the features. Need better lowlight performance? Learn to light your scene. I have an FX30 and people and quick to say “crappy lowlight”, but if you know how to light a scene properly, the fx30 is a great camera.

      fx30 is more crisp, and more what you'd expect from a modern camera today. the BM also only does 1080. now the newer BM cameras vs fx30.. that's a different story, but still depends heavily on your needs.

      Hey! Anything that you can attach lenses to, and shoot log with. The newer Blackmagic full frame is a great option bc it has a large sensor, shoots log, and raw, and can basically mimic shooting on any other sensor size. You don’t need a camera that shoots raw, but log I would definitely reccomend, along with lens versatility. Sony fx3 and fx30 pretty nice too! Also people say good things about the sigma FP, but I haven’t used it.

The Canon 5D MKII (and subsequently T2i, 7D and Panasonic GHII) that showed what you could get out of these photo sensors and that ther was a market for prosumers that went beyond giant sensored camcorders. And the OG Blackmagic Pocket that took what Red did with revolutionizing pricing and what Canon and Panasonic were doing and put it into a beautifully small form factor.
