The Hollywood Movie made with a DJI Pocket 3 camera
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 сен 2024
- Cinematic is the big buzzword nowadays in the camera video photography channel world, as is the DJI Osmo Pocket 3, so of course its only a matter of time until the 2 terms are combined into RUclips clicks. Cinematic does NOT just mean blurry backgrounds and color grading! Cinematic does not mean smooth camera moves and LUTs. Cinematic does not mean nerds pretending to be actors. Cinematic means SO much more! The Pocket 3 is a good camera for RUclips but don't waste your precious time trying to prove it's anything but. If you're going to spend a lot of time and effort to make a real movie, then use a freaking real camera!

I don't know why I must watch Markus every time...🤔
I think he's inspiring.
Markus share straight. He don't need or focus on how many "likes" and such he gets. He is just a person that enjoys sharing with others. So, you watch him.
Absolutely correct, Markus. There are people that see dozens of rock concerts every year and don't even know there's a difference between a bass and a guitar. Let alone the types, makes and models of various musical instruments effects pedals and everything else. They just want good music and a good time.
There's a difference? 😳
Same thing goes for jazz players, you could be playing on a student alto sax or a professional alto sax but you will still sound the same, does anyone care which model you are playing? No they care about the sound you produce and how you play.
My favorite part in El Mariachi was the bus scene when you can accidentally see Robert Rodriguez
in the rearview mirror. He's standing there holding the camera all by himself in this big action scene. That is as "run and gun" as it gets.
And it was Digital
Not Film
@@nicksavage4763 it was 1992 DUDE! It was 16mm film, and Robert could barley affort the film to shoot it, it was expensive! But BECAUSE it was 16mm film, it could be remastered to 4k in pretty good quality. Analog video back then could have never delivered that. And BTW: dont talk BS if you have no clue, just a good advice.
actually it was 16mm film ( though I can't recall if it was super 16 or not) . 1991/1992 was a little too early for digital though analog video had been around in low budget features since the early 1980's ( "Julia and Julia " being the first analog HD video feature in 1986/87). "Windhorse" ( the first Digital Feature) was shot in 1995/96 if I remember correctly at standard def with a betacam.@@nicksavage4763
Agree, what camera you use is now just used as marketing material for camera companies and no more than that. The average viewer won't know or care to know whether something was filmed with an arri, red, sony or an iPhone as long as it looks good. Cameras have become so good that you can get 35mm film quality image in phone cameras. Just choose a camera that fits your budget and fills you requirements.
Side note: Young Markus looks very much like Ben Stiller
The only people who want to make a "Hollywood Movie" are those sitting behind desks in three piece suits barking orders at their gopher lackeys.
I’m learning more from you than I ever did in film school.🙏🏼
Came here to say essentially the same. It's an honor to learn from this man
So true.
Markus... you nailed it! Sure you can use some action camera for a movie... but it would look like it... and telling the story is much more important!
Thank you Markus! I love your philosophy on filmmaking, I wish you were my instructor 30 years ago, I would have stayed in the industry.
At the end of the day a good story ALWAYS wins out over gear and money. Always. Great video!
I know, no one cares about the rig. But I do find modern cameras to be extraordinary. For just a few hundred bucks anyone can have a video camera with very good image quality. Iv tried to make some of these little cinematic scenes with action cameras. The real work in it is getting your lighting framing and audio together. The camera itself is the easy part.
The holy trinity!
I’ve been taking pictures for 58 years. I love watching your videos. I’ve done mostly stills , but now I playing around with videos for fun. Thanks Dave
Thank you Markus for remind us that the story is all that matters.
And that my friends is the message for today. You heard it. "Go make history!"
With you 100%!!! Hey -- when/where can I see *YOUR* movie on the big screen????
Rent a screen at your local movie theater and request they play his movie 😂 it obviously won't be shown now because of age but MarkusPix is one of the very few people on here with Real Hollywood background.
I SOMEWHAT disagree. A film needs to have a certain level of quality if it is to be shown in theatres or even on broadcast TV. Remember when HD finally got to a point that they deemed it good enough quality to make feature films with? If I'm not mistaken, one of first, if not the first, "Hollywood" features to be shot on HD and released to theatres was Once Upon A Time In Mexico. There were also other projects that bragged about being edited on smaller, less hardware based NLE's, like Final Cut, the original design version, not the iMovie pro version they have now. Those kinds of things were important for moving the system of film making into the hands of people that didn't have the backing of big studios. Letting people who had the desire but didn't have the connections know that they could get their stories made into movies that people might actually be able to see, and even GO and see.
That's fine. There's a difference between doing something in spite of the equipment and doing it BECAUSE of the equipment.
@@MarkusPix, I didn't take that to be the point you were making.
😮
@@truthseeker6804, which is an extension of my point. There are definitely levels in which gear matters
@@truthseeker6804not all movies in the Netflix catalog are shot solely on Netflix Approved Cameras. You can still get to Netflix regardless of what you shoot with - if the story is good, obviously. I get what you’re saying though
I wish the big Hollywood studios would follow this advice.
Story is king.... Great video thank you
YES! cannot be better put together
Blair witch was mostly filmed on 16mm film, but I get the point you were making. In high end corporate videos, the DJI Pocket 3 perfectly compliments any MFT Or FF camera…again, no I wouldn’t use mine to make a narrative movie. Thanks for all your vids Markus- always fun to hear your thoughts on all things filmmaking
Excellent color and lighting. Looks great Markus!
"It's all the story", should be every films first principal.
100% correct, same thing with still photography.
Keep up the good work, cheers from New Zealand.
That is some really excellent advice. I just watched "To The Ends of Times," again twice more on Tubi because of your (Markus) passion you had put into it. I study it more because I know what you had to do to achieve such a fine production with the budget you had and how people chipped in to help make your dream come a reality. They saw that you were very heart felt about the project and cared and that the story was a good one.
They knew that you could get the job done and it would be a well worth effort to be apart of.
That's some good teaching. I am learning a lot from you Markus.
I love creating unique, rare, difficult to capture, content that has historical value.
I’ve never been so torn. This is literally the best camera I can afford and no one has ever offered me an expensive camera. There’s some contradiction, although you have a bunch of expensive cameras behind you, you yourself stated that when you made your first movie you didn’t care what they thought about your camera. I got this camera for under 600 and I literally could not find a better alternative with the same qualities.
Exactly. This whole thing is contradictory. "What counts is the story" "the equipment doesn't matter" - meanwhile telling you the equipment DOES matter and don't use a DJI. Make that make sense.
If the equipment doesn't matter, then just let people film on whatever they have: their phone, a DJI, a crappy camcorder from BestBuy. As long as they focus on the story, that's what matters right?
90% of people looking into filming with not a professional camera are beginners just trying to do the best they can with something decent. Anyone doing it just to "prove" they can are going to be a stark minority and/or just doing it for content for their RUclips channel to test the limits of the device, which I don't see a problem with regardless. Let them. It's probably only going to be for RUclips anyway and it IS them having fun.
Anyway, if you can't find a better alternative, you do you and make that film. You got this.
Mr. Markus...Sounds like that saying would make a good bumper sticker.."Nobody Cares What It Was Shot With"!
Okay I’ve seen a lot of people in the comments and people I know who have seen this specific video to be misinterpreting what he is actually getting at: The equipment gloating is not a flex.
He’s saying you use whatever you have available to get a project made. You don’t need some fancy equipment or high end gear to make a film. If all you have is a DJI Pocket 3 to make a film, then that’s fine do it; but don’t do it simply because you want to show people you can do it with that camera alone.
Now him saying if someone believes in you they’ll lend you a better camera, that could happen if you’re lucky; but it might not happen either. Though, as he’s trying to say in this video, that does not matter.
Make what you want with what you have simply because it’s the project you’re passionate about, not because you want to be groundbreaking or wish to stand out all because of the equipment you used.
He’s not saying “don’t film a movie with the DJI Osmo Pocket 3” he’s saying don’t try to be a hero and say you did it to prove something whenever nobody will give a crap what you used.
Content is king
I love ya Markus, your whole millionaire eccentric vibe, that amazing blonde mop, but I think you are mistaken on this one...I remember when the canon 5 5d mark Ii came out, it was a PHOTO camera, yet we got great storytelling films with it. So this one, combines the best of all worlds and more. Gear should drive people to get off their butts and shoot, be it Pocket or Alexa or Iphone.
I feel like this video was over too quick. I was really into it and thought he was going to cover some of the technical reasons this camera isn’t good for filmmaking. Anyway. Love your content!
content is king!!
Being an owner of both the OG OSMO Pocket and OSMO Pocket 3, and using them extensively for specialty time-lapse work, I think you should be taking some of your own advice, and using whatever you've got to make a movie. By your own stated logic, if it doesn't matter what tool you use to make a movie, then it also doesn't matter if the camera is an OSMO Pocket 3 Gimbal Camera then does it Marcus ? Let Mr. OSMO Pocket 3 go straight ahead and try it. Of course I agree with you the emphasis should be on the story and not the equipment. Just so we're clear, (Even though the equipment doesn't matter and isn't the point), you do know that little camera in your hand has full jam-sync SMPTE Time Code capability right ? You do get the Pocket 3 is designed with double system sound capability in mind ? (Well, it has it it !) You do understand that through the wireless Mic that comes with the camera you can plug in professional external microphones right ? (You can also do the same via simple USB adapter directly to the camera itself. This little camera has every professional feature the SONY FX3 has (Except the interchangeable, better lenses, of course). There is enough of a good 1 inch sensor in the camera to yield very acceptable results ( *IF they are very careful framing up their shots and pay attention to their lighting) because there is slight barrel distortion particularly on the outer limits of the image at the bottom left and right edges.*
Good looking shirt today Markus.
Here is what I got from the rant. (My return rant) 1. Be sure to use a better camera because nobody cares what camera you use. 2. Here is a video about something that nobody cares about (= which camera they used). 3. What's important is the story, but not if the camera is cheap. 4. Somebody is going to lend you a great camera (but what if not?).
There's a difference between doing something in spite of the equipment and doing it because of the equipment.
@@MarkusPix Yes.
Fabulous, Markus on fire!
The inspiration that I needed 🙌 Thank you
Hey , i dont see anyone on youtube more likely to do a comparison review then u can do it, its a bout the continous hi powered rgb cob lights,i mean the hi powered ones,like the one from aputure 300,colbor 220, trolifo 180 and the godox 300 , aplicable in studio lighting with softboxes,direct light,used combined with flash,used with gobos and other things,it whold be a great video from a great creator
Markus, I really enjoy your videos, except for this one. You are arguing against your point. To make a movie on a dji pocket 3, or another non traditional film making camera is definitely a challenge. Artist are always looking to do something different and challenging. The script is important, but not as important as the journey. To have a 20 person film team with all the high-tech and most expensive equipment is one way, and the expectation will be extremely high. Now put a two person team with a pocket 3, and the film comes out amazing. Who are you going to be more impressed with. You are always going on with small and lighter is better for you, and I definitely agree. But as artist we are always looking to explore, to think out of the box with nontraditional methods. Keep up the great work, but on this video, I think you dropped the ball.
I think many people want to see what's possible with the Pocket 3. That's why they'll watch a movie made with it.
The original BMPCC was an example of this.
Yes but a very small crowd. It's still a gimmick. Most people in the world don't care what was used. They want a good story.
Agreed. I was told in film school that if your story was good enough you could write it on the wall in crayon and people would line up to see it.@@MarkusPix
@@MarkusPix In a way, you make the case for using the Pocket 3 or some other inexpensive camera. If the story drives the success (and I agree with you, btw), then as long as the camera isn't dreadful, almost anything can be used.
I don't begrudge folks for trying to use it and other budget options. It's an exciting time for aspiring artists.
@@MarkusPix😊
@@TheSshadow7 i agree, seems like he’s arguing against his self 🤷♂
I have one and use it all the time for corporate work. It's really great for interesting b roll shots.
It's been super versatile in my workflow and has shaved off a lot of unnecessary time. I also like to throw it up on a boom, pull and fake drone shots with it for exterior shots.
Preach It! Can I get a witness. Story Is king.
I do use a "obsolete" camera equipments to do photography, just to laugh by inner myself when pixel peepers get totally wrong about the used equipment... It doesn't matter, why i don't advertise it... Do good job in final image, and it doesn't matter what equipment is used. But you can make idiotic restrictions or fallacies.
Like believe that wide angle lens is all you need, or it is capable to be used get same control as with normal or short telephoto lenses in normal use.
I don't do video for high end production. And when someone pay for job, i don't take my C class equipment to do it... It is A class for my flexibility.
It is just fun to challenge yourself with limited tools, remind you to stay humble and that equipment doesn't make you better to understand light, colors, composition etc.
A bad welder blame blame his tools, but great welder is always hold back without proper tools...
Blair Witch Project? 😂
Videos message flew over your head, huh? 🤡
LOVE IT! AMEN BROTHER! AMEN!
Great message!
I was excited to pick up a brand new DJI Pocket 2 with Creator Pack for $80! 2 weeks later the 3 came out. But for what I do, chase trains for RUclips & Instagram it’s the Schizmit
I have made one with DJI Pocket 2, called I See Darkness. It was awesome.
You still look like you are in your thirties…but that’s Cara’s and your other channel! Loved this!
Clicked on this for fun and didn't expect much (cuz I am cynical and have trust issues with humans), but MAN, this video, nail on the head is far to basic, you slapped the film critic on the NERVE my friend, I am getting the Osmo Pocket 3 after deciding to NOT GET the FX 30, but in the end, WHO CARES, you are so right, Osmo Pocket 3 is GOOD ENOUGH to tell a great story, and I can't wait till mine arrives so I can do just that, you a wise man, I respect your honesty and wisdom!!!.....PREACH!!!!!!......
Then you might like this one too! ruclips.net/video/nphm4j2XRBo/видео.html
Thank you Sir, Your advice is so valuable...❤
Focus on a good story. So true. Thank you Markus! Now I'm going to make history.
I found this really funky old bottle on the beach 2 days ago while shooting, or trying to shoot, eagles. When I got back to the put-in and was in the process of loading my kayak, a person from another party noticed the bottle and appeared to be vey interested in it. They approached and asked where I got it from. I replied, in the river, out by the old flooded homesteads. The person couldn't stop looking at the bottle, fixated on it. I grabbed my paddle, my pfd, my pack and gear bag, and tossed them, along with the bottle, into the trunk and as I was stepping into my car, the person barks out ' you know that's a genie bottle right"! I was a little startled and for a moment I thought, oh oh, is this going to be one of those encounters? The person didn't say anything else but now they were staring at the trunk of my car. I got out of there pronto. When I got home, I have to be honest, I got the bottle out of the trunk, took it inside the house, cleaned it up a bit and then...yup, I took the cork out and gave it a little rub. As I did that, I was wishing I could set up lighting like Marcus Pix.
Great video as always Markus. BTW, i want your shirt...
😁
YAHOO! I am so into your channel you have actually molded me into a petty good photographer!
Markus on an inspirational rant.
Damn, I was saving up for a Go Pro and a new phone.
I agree in principle, but you also have to do whatever gets you publicity. Like The Creator recently shot on the FX3. I would never have heard or watched this movie had I not seen the publicity.
I think I needed to hear this today. God bless you, Markus!
Most of those people you talk about Markus talk only about gear and try to convince others they are the experts. I often wonder were I can find all those cinematic movies they made.
Who still watches new Hollywood movies? We only watch RUclips.
I do. There's nothing like watching really good professional actors
@MarkusPix often feels like they're so few and far between these days. I was watching some old 90s b-roll of some red carpet event and my God everyone looked so much more elegant and respectable.
@@MarkusPix What I still watch are the trailers of the latest films that are shown on RUclips. However, you get the feeling that you only see good and convincing actors in old films, where you get stuck and maybe watch the film to the end.
true story
@@MarkusPix i like your work anf your personnality but it's been so long that Hollywood is just amateur pure garbage with no professionnalism, it's a total waste of money, european and asian movies are wayyy better
Well said…..now I’m motivated! Cheers Mate!
welp,.....*starts to write Madam Web Part II -RETURN OF THE MADAM*
i dont recall if you ever gave an opinion on blair witch. i just never got the hype of it. almost feels like it was just a social experiment to see if they could convince ppl it was a good movie 😉
I never saw it
you are true artist sir!
Pretty good advice. I had fun today with my Pocket 3 waking around a small lake mostly recording the sounds of birds. The internal mics probably didn’t do well, but I’ll try the wireless one if just for the fun of experimenting. Looking forward to the difference. Don’t really expect great results. Might have to do separate recording equipment.
Just use a portable audio recorder ruclips.net/video/1EUMF8kl4vY/видео.html
@@MarkusPix Markus, I have been watching various videos about field recording. At my age, I’m not really an outdoorsman, so it will take some considering. Still, experimenting with what I have will be interesting.
Great Honesty 🙌
The end.. absolutely amazing. Well done
Perfectly said my friend.
Youre right once again 🎉🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
I agree Markus, I am now recording the finchs on my Gray Bunny Ground Bird Feeder with my Sony CX-40 outside on a tripod.. I wish you were my neigbor but you would not be happy living on a city block in Kenosa WI🤣🤣
I really like older movies till 2005 or so. They are cutted slower, not so stressful to watch. But maybe i am old😅
How true.
For my last vacation I bought a 10 year old camcorder to use and abuse. The videos that I made with it are getting as many (if not more) views than the stuff I made with 4K equipment and nobody has mentioned poor quality video. I therefore take your advice entirely. Thanks. I always enjoy your content.
The last thing I want people to know is what I used to film a quarter of my short noir. Now it floats in the tub with me and keeps me company.
Hi sir i am your subscriber, watching your videos all, can you suggest me a best picture taking camera, sir please reply me.i am from India 🇮🇳
Hello Markus . I like to listen to your channel . I do some progress and I discover such a lot of things . I are right emotions and story prevail . Have a nice day both of you .
Amen!
The quality of videos since the DJI pocket was launched has dropped dramatically.
I use a Sony A5100 and a Samsung NX-MINI. They are awesome!
Hoping to get a Panasonic HC-WXF1K camcorder. I was looking to get a 981 like you have, but they seem to be almost as expensive used as the new version.
Hc-vx1 is on sale now for $697. Just got one, it's great. + Cheap 3 hour battery from Amazon
@@Arcticfox7 I'm wanting the one that has the little selfie camera on the edge of the flip screen so I can be in the lower corner of the video natively. I think thats the only difference.
@@WorldMoneyWins I looked at both. Viewfinder on WXF sucked in my opinion. VX1 is very lightweight and super simple. No unnecessary gimmicks
I believe that you could make with a pinhole camera a perfect movie :) and btw one you has the money for this item, one could have gotten an old Sony RX100 and would be better off :D
Word!
BRB going to make a feature-length movie with my doorbell camera.
😆😄😆😆 now THAT made me laugh!!!!!!!!!!
Man that’s powerful bro ..
Thanks for the great video as usual. Inspirational!
That outro music is such fire 🔥
Thanks for sharing Markus
Steven Spielberg made a music video with a camera phone..and it was very good..
So, did you make this video with a Pocket 3? lol. I'm joking buddy. I love your videos and I love your camcorder stuff. For what I do on RUclips and for myself, camcorders are the way to go, so please keep making camcorder reviews and suggestions. How about a Sony AX43 color settings video since you did one for the Canon 70?
AX43 doesnt have custom profiles
@@MarkusPix You passed the test Mr. Vegas.
Thank you so much for great video, good day and good luck
TY
In my humble town, anyone with a Sony thinks they are a filmmaker.
I mean I had this idea. I didn't think other people would come to the same conclusion. Also, the color science is rich enough to do so. I'm still waiting to see a short film made with this thing! I'll do it if no one else does.
ruclips.net/video/wqlmDuatB-Y/видео.htmlsi=HKbhRiIrtHwZDhRa
I remember people hyping up "The Creator" because it was shot on a FX3. Hell I would have not even heard about the movie if YT creators didn't hype up the camera used in it. And in the end the movie turned out to be mediocre story wise (imo)
That's the one thing I think he's missing. And the one thing that I don't understand is why he's diswaiting people from making a movie with a camera that's perfectly capable of it. Yes, is it limiting 100%? However, the main thing that makes a movie s***** Is the story being mediocre? The camera being at the same focal length throughout the entire movie isn't shitty if there is a very enough set and Shot composition and the story is good enough. I know i'm much rather watch a movie Made on a pocket 3. That is as good as the Godfather, when it comes to story and cinematography in general, such as like shot composition. And lighting rather than watch a movie made on an Alexa, that a five year old came up with and shot.
I have 25k in high-end Sony cameras. You know what camera I shoot the most with cuz it's fun and I can have it with me all the time. The RX100
Over half a million in Sony here and the same conclusion

You are a true pixie.
Thank you.
Love it
I clicked on this thinking you would be talking about a specific movie that was made with the dji pocket 3 -- mainly because that camera's price tag is way more in the reach of most consumers. Having a gimbal is a plus, because I hate movies with the shaky cam. Oh well, just another Markus rant, which is ok I guess.
Что? Я живу в Красногорске! Это возле Москвы. Грубо говоря, это один из районов Москвы. И я почти каждый день проезжаю мимо завода Зенит. Очень интересно слышать от американца наши названия. А на днях у нас произошёл террористический акт в Крокусе (торгово-развлекательный комплекс)
