It’s been about 3 years since I have regularly posted but after completing my award-winning documentary on the car culture known as Lowriders I am now able to post regularly on this blog.
First, I want to discuss the Lowrider documentary that has about 90%+ footage shot on BMPCC4k with the Sigma 18-35. About 5% was BMCC 2.5k and the other 5% a mix of Red Raven/Gemini and GH4. By far the BMPCC4k was the most flexible and best performing due to small form factor, great color science and DR! I was able to mount this on a gimbal with the Sigma 18-35 with no problem or shoot at night along a busy cruising boulevard and get great footage.
Second, I recently shot a proof of concept short film that is currently being entered into film festivals. It’s a sci-fi/horror about “El Cucuy pt.1” (The Boogie Man). This was shot on a anamorphic rig Zeiss Classic 50mm 1.4, Red Isco 2.1, Rapido 16a which was mounted onto the URSA 12k! The images are beautiful and I will be posting the full review on the URSA 12k soon.
I also will be doing some lens pairings and my recommendations. If you guys have any ideas please drop a comment or email and let me know. I look forward to being back and writing about our beloved BlackMagic Design cameras!
