BMPCC4K.tech X LowriderDocumentary.org short: The Blindman

A collaborative effort with BMPCC4k.tech and LowriderDocumentary.org, the short tells the story of “The Blind Man” an automotive upholsterer Mike Perez who is a National Lowrider Hall Of Fame inductee. From the depth of poverty to a sustainable livelihood. Be inspired that we all have a destiny in this life and we all can rise above any current crisis.

We were honored to use the amazing BMPCC6k and vintage Carl Zeiss Jena lenses (35mm 2.4 & 50mm 1.4). The camera truly captures a cinematic image with great color science. The ease of use with Davinci Resolve is a must for any filmmaker seeking to make the best content available.

Thank you BMD for creating tools that allow anyone and everyone the ability to create amazing cinematic images.

BMPCC6K For Only $1,995???!!!! Price DROP!!!

BlackMagic Design never ceases to amaze me because today they announced that they lowered the price of the 6k camera by $500! That’s right, this is not an April Fools joke but its really happening.

One of the reasons they cite for the price drop is,

“With the current demand for multi camera live streaming from home broadcast studios, the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K makes a perfect studio camera when combined with the recent studio camera software update!”

This is another example that BMD is ultimately supporting the industry even during these hard times and doing their best to get the tools to create into our hands.

Compared to other 6k cameras they are by far the best bang for the buck but it’s almost unfair to compare BMD color science, features, performance and let’s not forget the FREE ALMIGHTY Davinci Resolve. But here are some other 6k cameras and prices: ZCAM E2-S6 Super 35 $2,995, Panasonic S1H $3,997.

I still cant believe it! Great job BMD!!!

Sell The Farm For The BMPCC6k!? Hurry : )

Ok, ok, I have been on hiatus from the blog for a while actually working filming, editing and getting funding for my documentary. It’s all going very well thank God! So what disturbed my deep focus? The announcement of the BMPCC6k rang like a gong at 2 am, LOL! My first inclination was WTF BMD how can you step on this great camera that has truly been an innovation from the BMCC, BMPC4k and the beloved BMPCC. After further researching and talking to the PR rep here are the TWO biggest selling points they are marketing.

  1. Depth of field

2. Sensor size

These are the basic marketing points that BMD is focusing on and the fact that you no longer need a focal reducer/speedbooster for your EF lenses. A few things to consider and I am sure users will start to test the products and release their findings but these questions must be asked.

  1. How can the SD, CFAST, or SSD handle the data rates and file size for record/playback.
  2. With such a demanding resolution is there anything degraded such as highlights or DR?
  3. Based on the DOF image provided by BMD and others who started posting on forums the difference is barely noticeable.
  4. Also not all codecs are available in FPS.
  5. The pitch that you can reframe 6k to smaller 4k, 2k or 1080 is that really necessary if you are framing each shot carefully?
  6. Is this BMD’s way of undercutting the industry leaders such as RED who recently threatened a lawsuit?
  7. Honestly, do you really need 6k? You must watch Steve Yedlin part 1 and 2 http://www.yedlin.net/ResDemo/index.html
  8. Be patient and wait for the reviews and comparisons.

Anyways, good luck on your camera search. I will be posting some informative videos in the next few weeks. stay tuned.
