I agree but at the same time I don’t 😭 I’ve had bmpcc 4k 6k & 6k pro and I sold my 6k pro and switched to Komodo which I really didn’t want to do but the form factor was a major reason why. I was even considering zcam at first but couldn’t go that route. I miss my bmpcc sometimes but I love the feel of the komodo and leads to me using it more for passion projects. But something about the image of a full frame black magic is making me consider buying it again lol 😂 keeping the Komodo though
Of course it does, they've never tried it, can't afford it, never used it, don't like it don't have hybrid features but REAL cine features, no IBIS, no AF... just works. Of course haters have to shade it because of it's affordability and quality it produces.
Vance is the best! I worked with him in Chicago for a video for Isi Stradlin, ex-GNR. He was such a total hands on guy,lighting and operating. And given I didn’t work with any other Aussies during my time there (12 years or so), it was a great experience.
what a great test film, and thank you for sharing so much in the comments. truly a great reference and proof that knowledge, creativity and story beats gear
Good Lookin'!!! Such a great camera. Despite the battery issues, best bang for the buck. In the right hands, as you show, this camera produces great images. The only issue now for folks is content. Bad content with great cameras is still trash.
Thanks yeah such a great camera for the price. Unfortunately there is no escaping bad content, but there are lot of talented people shooting great images also so that helps
Yeah, to be honest I have never understood why so many look the A7 camera for video, Great still camera for sure, but i will take a Blackmagic camera any day for shooting video.
Hi Vance! Could you please share a bit about whether this camera would be good for run-and-gun projects? Was it difficult to set the focus correctly when the girl was moving? Do you remember how wide the aperture was? I’m trying to decide on a camera for my documentary project and am choosing between Canon c70 with autofocus and the Blackmagic with manual focus…
It's a fantastic camera and certainly stripped down it would work for a run and gun camera. I did have a focus puller and with a FF camera I would certainly suggest that. Images are spectacular. to say the least
Yeah the Sigma art glass is pretty great. Thing to understand is with a full frame sensor the DOF is much shallower so pulling focus with the still lens can be pretty challenging. Sigma cine zoom would makes it easier as the barrel throw is much longer as with all cine lenses. But the lens looks great, just takes more fines on the focus end.
@@vanceburberry710 Hi, I used Canon 24-105 L and 16-35L lenses and noticed that it became more difficult for me to get into focus, and there were a lot of defects. Focus peaking shows that the object is in focus, but then on the MacBook monitor I see focus inaccuracy. In 4K mode it is even more difficult to get into focus than in 6K. Since the image is not captured from the full matrix and the pixels are not so delicate. Please write in more detail what this is connected with? It may be necessary to use different lenses or camera settings. Previously, I shot with full frame cameras and I could easily get into focus.
Wow the spinning shots in Time Square actually look great. Not really seeing the rolling shutter. Did you do the gyro stabilizing trick in post to fix it?
Can you comment on the image quality difference between the URSA Cine 12K LF and the original URSA Mini Pro 12K? To me, it seems the original Super35 12K is better value given the price difference and given it has the same RGBW sensor design concept, that is if you don't mind a loss of 1.5 to 2 stops of DR and if you don't mind not having open gate and 1 stop better in lowight (I am assuming the LF has 1 stop better in ISO performance, but you could clarify better than me) and if you don't need the more reliable media.
What was the most used focal lenght for the wide shots? For example in the train station and the second 0:33 to 0:43 when she is in the car with the horses
@@johngormley1920 Interesting question, yeah I could possibly grade a couple for a Demo. I am currently in New York and will be until the end of the month, My color suite is in my Los Angeles home so would not be able to do anything until the end of the month.
Amazing shots! Did you use any noise reduction for any of these? I am really considering buying a BMCCFF next year, but I'm a litle bit insecure about its low light capabilities.
No. That’s as is, in fact DaVinci 18.6 does not have that fix anymore in FX on color page as fas as I can tell maybe in Fusion. Regardless this was a test so would not fix if there was an issue.
Im looking to buy the blackmagic 6K g2. Because the FF version is a bit out of my budget. Do you think the G2 is still capable shooting beautiful videos like this or is it better save more money and go for the FF version?
Hey, there.I actually love the G2, the image quality is fantastic. Also it a standard EF mount so you have a multitude of lens choices without having to purchase an adaptor. I love the FF camera but I love the G2 also so save the money and go for the G2
I'm debating between g2 and full frame now that they are the same price. The only thing holding me back is having to bully a ff lens vs using my sigma art 18-35 and 50-100 on the g2. Thoughts? I think the ff look is nice but really the olpf seems very beneficial. I have both apsc and full frame cams now and like both, so pretty torn between these two.
Nice! In your grading did you add any halation or do anything special to the highlights, or is the bloom we see here just somewhat innate to the BMCC6K footage?
Hey there, no halation added, I wanted the test to be a pure as possible. Due to the size of the FF sensor the depth of field is pretty shallow the the bloom I would assume is due to not being tack sharp.
Cool thanks! For what it's worth I think the bloom looks great and has a very 'filmic' quality, even though the footage doesn't feel over-treated or like it was overly graded in some film emulation plug in. Nice work. @@vanceburberry710
Thanks Kane, I spent much of my career shooting film. I have always liked to do as much as I can in camera and not affect to much in post. And yes I like the bloom also.
Well you see the footage here, I used no lights. That being said if I had underexposed I'm sure some banding would occur. It's a cinema camera, so lighting is preferred. But generally I have found this to be a very solid camera.
No Zero noise reduction, putting exposure in the right spot is pretty important. There will be an article on the BM Splice page in a week or so where I speak that in detail. Another this to do is open RAW panel in resolve and pull exposure back a little, that can clean things up. Just experiment there, once the exposure is sitting in the right spot then grade from there.
@@vanceburberry710 yea id love to see a tutorial on this because even with me reading your explanation, I have no idea how you got it to be so clean using onsite natural light and 3200. Doesn’t seem like you crushed the shadows much and your environment looks so clean!
@@RandomMotoThings It should help, I still use light meters and what really can help understand good exposure is Ansel Adams Zone system, read up on it.
It's a cinema camera so autofocus pretty much the same. Manual focus, which I pulled myself on still lenses. But now have a PL mount using cinema glass and a focus puller.
Fun one. I read you shot at 3200 which I know is the advertised dual native for this camera, but on mine it looks like I'm getting a much much cleaner noise pattern at 1250 instead. Curious if that's what you're seeing as well?
Yeah. It really depends on where you want your exposure to fall. That has more effect on noise than the ISO. 1250 is the low end of the 3200 ISO. So you are actually moving middle great by doing that if that makes sense. I prefer to stick with native ISO and manage exposure accurately. It’s very easy to clean up any noise in the Raw panel in Resolve prior to starting grade. It’s really helpful if you think in the zone system and make sure your exposure is in the correct range for the images you’re capturing. I was very selective with theses shots to make sure the light was working from for the entire image.
the 1250 is the actual secondary circuit just Blakcmagic is advertising it funny. So in reality it should be 100 and 1250, for example sony fx3 is 650 and 12800, panasonic s52 640 and 4000 and so on
@CINENIMUS base iso is the iso giving max dynamic rage, not necessarily the cleanest image. Dual gain stages start at 100 and 1250 that is all, nothing funny just specific terms.
No post softening, remember this camera has an OLPF which smooths things out. Certainly now I have a PL installed I can use Master Primes or any cinema glass.
The second part to this with such a short throw in still lens focus barrel its really tough trying to pull focus, so maybe some things are not tack sharp.
I have the same lens on the a7iv, so it’s a fair comparison and the quality of the image off this is measurably more pleasing, at least to my eye. Awesome work! Curious, what does the grade look like on this?
Than, the BMPCC 6k is a real Lowlight King 👑!!😍 The best Aps-C corp sensor camera. Also it's better than most of fullframe camera on the market.... I would love to have The G2 versión!!😍
I swear dudes only say this when they have not used one themselves. In real world use its nothing wrong with the rolling shutter. I was almost tricked out of buying a bmpcc 6k 3 years ago because someone said this. Its fine on a dolly..
Great footage! But I want to ask something. Multiple people, including me, are having big problems with sensor smearing in low light situation (flickering bands in shadows, visible in Lut as well). Its not FPN, its not freq/shutter. I know how to work a camera. I tried 2 units, both of em (mostly) unusable in low light, especially in ISO 200-1000 range. I'm in contact with Tech support (as are others) and sent braw files in hope it can be mitigated via firmware, or maybe its a faulty batch. So... I uploaded sample video and further explanation on my channel (maybe click on link to vimeo because youtube compression makes it way less noticable). Would appreciate it if you can check it out and let me know if you have encountered this problem, or can do a quick test to see if you can recreate this smearing. If yours is clean then I can have hope that my cams are from a bad batch or someting. I want to love this cam.. colors are great, but as it is now its kinda unusable.
I checked out the first it's completely under exposed so I would expect nothing else. Good exposure is everything. Never use ISO 1000 go to at least 1250 which puts you in the 3200 native ISO low end. It's a cinema camera its need light and contrast. Look at my footage it has a pretty full range exposure wise. I have an article coming out on the Splice page upcoming which digs deep into exposure and the Zone system which will help you a lot.
@@vanceburberry710 I understand, and I am well aware that sensors need light. But still that's no excuse. I used many cameras for many different projects, and never was an image so unusable as from this camera in low light (other than regular noise and maybe a bit of fpn). I also did a moody daylight test and it was still there in the deep shadows with the extended video lut applied. Compared it with pocket 4k no issue, fx3 no issue, Alexa mini and 35 no issue (obviously). Hell even an older fuji and Canon I have lying around no issue like this. No amount of under exposing should result in unusable images (again.. other than expected noise etc), especially with ISO 200-500 and 1250-1600.
@@STEFANvDIEST I'm just going by the reference you mentioned on your RUclips page, honestly you cannot shoot stuff like that and expect any accurate understanding of what's going on. I have had no issues with this camera at both native ISO's of 400 and 3200 which are both represented in my test.
@@vanceburberry710 Ofcourse, I understand. Thats why I tried to give a clear explanation in the description. I know that the footage is heavily underexposed, and no one should want to shoot stuff like that. But it's basically a stress test, because I noticed it straight away when first testing regular low light settings (that weren't that under exposed). I showed it to colleagues of mine who are all very accomplished DPs and all of them said. Well yes... its super underexposed, but that still should not happen. Like I'm not hating or anything haha. Im just trying to figure out what the problem is, how many people experience this, so that I can communicate it best to Tech support and maybe they can mitigate it somehow or maybe conclude there are faulty sensors out there. Thanks for the quick replies though! Much appreciated!

@@vanceburberry710 Ofcourse, I understand. Thats why I tried to give a clear explanation in the description. I know that the footage is heavily underexposed, and no one should want to shoot stuff like that. But it's basically a stress test, because I noticed it straight away when first testing regular low light settings (that weren't that under exposed). I showed it to colleagues of mine who are all very accomplished DPs and all of them said. Well yes... its super underexposed, but that still should not happen. Like I'm not hating or anything haha. Im just trying to figure out what the problem is, how many people experience this, so that I can communicate it best to Tech support and maybe they can mitigate it somehow or maybe conclude there are faulty sensors out there. Thanks for the quick replies though! Much appreciated!
@@STEFANvDIEST No worries, I want to get to the bottom of it also.
Train station look like a dump. Train stations in any Chinese cities are clean and high tech.
😂
But they ain't New York!!!
Completely depends on the stop and the borough. It is NYC though what do you expect, not for the faint of heart.
