HOW I COLOR GRADED VENICE
• How I color BMPCC Foot...
I ended 2015 with the trip I had dreamed about for years. Venice, Italy. As a kid, I would sit and listen to my mimi’s story’s about riding gondolas and dancing in St. Marks Square. I was hooked. I debated on this, but with it being the most romantic place in the world, naturally I have to include some kind of mushy story to go along with it.
The first gifts I gave to my girlfriend Fay were a clock and a journal. The clock was to always stay on my time while she was in London, and the journal was for her to document all her travels and experiences along the way. The cover of the journal, tastefully chosen by yours truly, was St. Marks Square in Venice. Little did I know that a year to the day I gave her both of those things, we would be flying out of London on our way to Italy, all planned by her.
In one year, my dream turned into reality. I cant even tell you how excited that makes me for this next year.
Friends, here’s Venice as seen by me.
Best,
Jordan
I've finally made a video about how I colored the BMPCC footage! I'll put a link in the description. Let me know if it helps you out!
Jordan Thiem which camera equipment you use buddy for this video.
been waiting for this. thank u :)
Friccckkkiinnn Amazing!!!!!
Superb video, still stands up against most of the stuff shot now. The one thing I can never get is how you get the videos to look so good on RUclips. I've tried various software with varying settings and I can't get this kind of quality.
@@dazzdeadmeadow Yes! That's also my question. I have a BMPC and Resolve 17. In windows version, the H24 exporting is not quite good, it introduces some extra noise to the underexposed parts which were not present on original footage. And when uplading to youtube, there's more compression and the result is normally unprofessional...the noise is thus converted in artifacts and looks awfull. It is something I don't know how to resolve.
Absolutely Stunning. Does any one else feels like no other camera can produce this image in 2023?
I don't know, remember that digital bolex?
2024 and this is still sublime. Gorgeously captured, composed, and arranged.
Thanks I love that little camera
I'm watching this more than 4 years later and it looks absolutely gorgeous. Fantastic filming, editing, and color grading.
Thank you mate!
Probably the best film I’ve ever seen made on the BMPCC. Wonderful.
Thank you Philip! Appreciate you stopping by.
Without a doubt some of the best prores(of any flavor) footage i've seen out of this camera. Hell, it's better than most raw footage i've seen.
Ah, thats the way to get the smoothest tracking shots, dig an intricate network of canals and just float on past 😂.
Beautiful work ❤
2020 I'm still watching... Going to start using my BMPCC again after many years
Ty Lou same!
this is breathtaking, may I ask what your render settings are?
Mi video favorito con la bmpcc !!
Masterpiece. The music fits perfect and i love the pan with the gondola driver.
God bless BMPCC !!! jaja Beautiful tiny gold camera
Amen!
There’s something I really love about the black magic aesthetic. Can’t really explain it
Absolute Masterpiece! Thanks for this!
So does this camera have this aspect ratio built in? Not exactly sure how to ask that question, lol. I'm working wit h a GH4 and I simply don;t like the colors from Panasonic. I'm thinking of buying a used original pocket camera.
Fantastic! A question: what focal lenght you use the most on the zoom in that video? 😄 i’m doing hard researching for my gear
Very wonderful shots. I enjoyed watching it a lot. Inspired by your
video for new shooting with my camera. I subscribe and like you
Thank you Artyom! Your films look great
OMG! This is simply stunning. You had my hooked from the beginning. Incredible!!
I prepair to got to Venice in 4 weeks. And now I have another idea of filming this beauty place. Your video is so stunning and the edit fits perfect to these old town. Compliment!
This is the most beautiful video on Venice I've ever seen! It made me feel emotional! Great job mate!
Thanks Denis!
Beautiful composition and movements. It’s such a pleasure to watch till the end!
Beautiful, brings me right back to my holiday there. I'll watch this again and again!
Glad you enjoyed it!
this is amazing.. i wanted to cry over how beautifully this was shot.
Thanks M, Venice is a magical place.
I really enjoyed watching the cinematic film look of this camera. Very nicely done!
Great footage but I'm noticing some weird vertical line glitch in the film, noticable at 1:25 through 1:37 and 4:19 through 4:33.
It's at the top of the screen and slightly left of the center if you can't find it.
probably the lens
Read the comments it was a defective sensor issue. He had to send the camera back to BM and get a replacement copy.
Honestly, I didn't mind it tho. Added a bit of extra film aesthetic in there maybe
Hmmm, it's weird. I thought it was something to do with the grading.
The only reason I said that was because when I was grading some Alexa Mini footage in Da Vinci Resolve, those lines started coming through. HMMM, and it wasn't there on the raw ProRes footage.
This is absolutely stunning, honestly gave me chills and the grade is just perfect!! Subscribed!
Thanks Josh! I need to take this camera out more often. Glad you enjoyed it!
0:55 that shot alone blew me away, good work!
I mean it was all so good but the first scene with the clock and sound design... nailed it!
How did you stabilize the footage?
This is amazing Jordan. Amazing. If I didn't juat watch ypur video saying this was ypur first time using it, I wouldn't have believed you.
Lovely footage.
2021 still watching
This is a masterpiece, the image and the music are simply perfect.
Thank you, I'm happy you appreciate it.
Those first 30 seconds were really compelling. The edit and music made me really interested to see what was going to happen.
God bless you for making this.
I'm still blown away by this. and the footage that comes from the bmpcc. it really looks more like a 35mm analog film, than a digital camera. the kontast and unsharpen picture, but still detailed and beutiful. Really nice colorgrading as well. Stunning!
Absolutely amazing and beautiful, I inspire to make videos such as this. Just watching this makes me want to cry much more with appreciation for life. The eyes truely are a gift in beholding the beauty of mother nature and all its walks of life. You nailed it and this is exactly why I want to become a film maker. I want to capture, create, and share masterpieces of life and the simple moments we have. Thank you for sharing your journey. Diffinetly liked, shared, and subscribed.
Jordan, this is beautiful but the story behind it is even better.
Enjoy the rest of the script buddy.
All the best.
Thank you Borja, sounds like you got exactly what I was going for. Much love.
Good quality work! Nice one
Jordan, one of the best travel films I have seen, you clearly took time to find the right music, your matching cuts and flow is excellent (especially hard when searching through footage from holidays) the right camera for the task and despite other cool details I have missed, the colour grading is immaculate, well done!
I really dig the short film. It shows the capabilities of the BMPCC well. I do have a question about something in seeing in my screens on the video. I see a vertical line just left of center, most prominent around 4:41. Is that something caused by the RUclips compression, or an issue with the sensor of the camera? It’s an in and out thing through the whole video. Is it supposed to be there?
What lenses did you use and also and your opinion would you recommend the blackmagic 4K or 6K I have the regular pocket and the cinema
Dude this was amazing! I absolutely loved the colour grading and how well the music blended with your video! Keep it up!
Thank you Marcus!
I legit want to trade my 4k for the original. It just looks better.... hard to describe. The lower resolution is actually welcomed imo. AMAZING job Jordan!
nice video..are you using the 709 luts or the log ones? i opened the folder and was like whoa lol..which ones do i use with the bmpcc 6k?
I shot the footage prores on film dynamic range so I used the log LUTS to grade
I love my bmpcc4k, but this really does look filmic. The color and dynamic range is here, without being overly sharp, and I like that. Beautiful.
Such a great cinematography. Every second of this film is beautiful. Keep it up. Cheers.
How did you stabilized your shots?
'cos is to hard to stabilize this camera, did u' use a Gimbal? a SteadyCam? or only a stabilizer lenses?
This is a great job my friend! I love it...
Hi! How do you think, today this camera is still competitive compared with new photocameras (Fuji X-T30)? Or Fuji can do the same picture? what do you advise for
staged video, short films, within 1000$? Sorry for my english!
Video is awesome.
brilliant work. I'm in love with the cinematography. You have a good eye!
Thank you!
I went to Venice last October for my honeymoon. Your film brings back some amazing memories for me. Excellent work!
The dynamic range is just stunning
It really is stunning.
Jordan Thiem i just heard today there will be a bmpcc 4k announcement. I hope they will fix the low light performance a bit and than you've the ultimate mobile cinema setup!
such a beautiful document
You deserve subscribe button sir....I wish you will become best filmmaker and all glory will comes to you... Good luck sir
Can I ask (if you're still around YT) how much post stabilization did you add? I'm about to buy this lens for the IS and the shots in this a very very steady :)
Symon Hi Symon, I only used about 1-2% per clip to get rid of jitters (anything more looks too artificial). The lens IS is great but it will definitely take some practice to get a steady enough shot for post. Hope this helps!
@@JordanThiem Magic! Cheers, dude. Appreciate the fast response. Helps a lot :)
Well done! What was your ISO setting?
it gives me the feeling of Venice I visited year ago, you can feel cinematic vibes, great work!
Thank you Matt! Your videos look great
Own a BMCC. This video made me pull the trigger on the pocket version. Beautifully composed video man.
Thanks Michael! It's pretty amazing to see how many people enjoyed it, especially because it was something I wanted to film for such a long time. Cheers!
Great film! Yes, dreams can turn to reality :-)
Fantastic footage, editing and grading I agree with some comments on the OG bmpcc beating the s#%& out of current pro-grade cameras.
Agreed, it definitely has earned its place in my camera bag
I love the look of this film. Was it raw or Prores film? - And did you use Osiris Log or Rec 709?
Do you use the Blackmagic preset in Filmconvert or do you jsut use the default??
I think i just used my own settings until I liked it!
Jordan, every now and then, the music, the scenes along with the mood hit a creative energy in ones soul, in your case a baseball bat struck you hard !!! Maybe the best BMPC video I have ever viewed completely. Bravo Bravo !
Larry Groesbeck thank you Larry, that’s very kind of you! It means a lot
Finally an honest man who tells us about his methods Osiris Filmconvert. Beautiful film, very well done! And humble thanx for sharing the way you did it.
Why am i just now finding this masterpiece?! Amazing work seriously!!
Thanks Cooper!
How much color grading was needed to produce this video.......? I could never get that much color out of my BMPCC
Amazing!
amazing work , but which bmpcc the 4k or 6k ?
The Cinematographer lol the original, 1080p baby!
very professional film, thank you!
Thanks Andreas!
A great camera! Thanks!
What lens did you use? this is beautiful I thought it was shot on RAW but it says HQ, wow.
Gosh. Cinematic look jusf like that??? This is so fricken cool.. Im in a shock.
Thank you! Hope it inspires
Amazing !!!
Looks beautiful!!
Which drone did you use for that shot?
Did you have the same camera on the drone?
SaniRecords no drone, everything hand held. The highest point was on top of St Mark's Campanile
this is too beautiful
crazy how this is shot with a 500 dollar Chinese camera. you are very talented and black magic open the doors for alot of low budget inspiring film makers.
Thank you David its a great camera!
Pure class great track too
Wow. Beautiful footage.
This is amazing dude. How you are still on 501 Subs is beyond me! So much better than most travel videogs out there.....this actually has a story in the shooting and editing. beautiful work mate. Keep it up. Subbed
not enough content
Hey Jordan what an awesome video. by far the best footage i've seen. even better than philip blooms. Would it be possible for you to do a small video on how you went about colorgading it and exposing? that would be so helpful to so many of us. Thanks in advance.
Hey Javier, yes I will look into that. It seems this had a pretty good response and if I remember correctly the color grade was very simple.
Hauntingly beautiful.
This comment has stuck with me for a while. Sorry it took so long to reply. Your Discover America videos look great! Keep it up
Hi Jordan, the video is really impresive and cinematic. Why did you choose prores HQ over Raw?
leandro sostre thank you, I honestly didn’t have a computer with me they could handle editing the raw files so I had to stick to pro res. I edited this on a 2011 low end MacBook Pro, the export took days lol. I remember waiting days for it to render so I could watch a cut, something would mess up, wait more days to see the fixed version, etc etc.. now I’m editing RED 8k files in Davinci in minutes. Funny looking back.
@@JordanThiem wow old times with old computers! I see You could improve your gear! Red camera ! Amazing. I Will go yo Barcelona to film some spots, i have Sony a7s And a6300 really great cameras, but What do You recommend me to Buy a bmpcc or something better? (Money is not a problema)I want a real cinema camera ,no just dsrl cameras.
wow wow wow,hahaha maaan this is deep. this is art, my god, Cinema.
Beautiful work, love it!!!
Thanks Alexander! Appreciate the kind words
First all... amazing, amazing video and I can't believe it only have 34K views when it's insanely good. Question though... I see that you used the OSIRIS LUTs, which I also have, but I haven't had too good of luck with them vs. other libraries of LUTs. If you don't mind, do you remember what combo of .cube files you used to get this look...? Mainly, like 1:00 - 1:30.
This was beautifully done.
2019 who is watching?
me
@@JordanThiem and me ) nice work! sound and footage are awesome
@@alexemm Thanks for the kind words Alex! I love this little camera. I'm sure the 4k and 6k versions have their advantages, but I still use the original alongside my RED all of the time. Hope it helped!
@@JordanThiemwartching twice a week :)))
2020
Beautiful.
What other peripheral did you use for this?
Mainly what did you use to make this so stable while shooting?
Daniel Nguyen nothing. Handheld, IS lens, sometimes 5% warp stabilizer
Pretty film and I like your story! Some footage with enough light was beautiful. Some clips seemed a little low on light. Have you tried/liked any other lenses for videography with the bmpcc? I recently bought the camera (not 4K) and looking for a lens to shoot music videos.
Thanks Swati! Most of the places that were darker were like that in real life, so I found no reason to boost shadows like a Sony would. If you are going handheld try and find an IS lens, otherwise there are just too many jitters. If you are locked off on sticks, the XEEN lenses function really well.
Great piece Jordan.
This was absolutely amazing. You have some skills!
Did you upscale?
Unbeatable image quality and character. Love mine and will never get rid of it. Nothing competes with this image even in 2020 IMO.
I agree! I need to use mine more often
How hard do you feel the pocket cinema is to use? No auto focus on it, right???
no autofocus, but thats a good thing.
2021 still watching what a great camera
Amazing Pictures! You should upscale it with the superscale function in resolve to 4K! In Connection with this footage the results are sure amazing!
I love your vids man. They look fantastic!
Thanks a lot! More to come soon!
How on Earth are there any dislikes on this work of art?
Beautiful imagery. I love the BM Pocket.
I agree! I wish I could use it more, battery life is horrible.
Jordan Thiem Exactly, but it's still a gem
