A short film from Germany, shot with the Pocket. They speak english, because Germany isn't exactly the home of cinematographic talent, and the latter has to be invited from elsewhere. However, it's graded rather extremely, but it has a story and not just landscape or cats. One of the marks of cinema. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZ_INEKUQpA#t=22

i am restarting my anamorphic project anyone with a blackmagic camera based in london that wants to meet and give me some feedback that would be great. it would be handy if you had played around with scope lens before. please ping me a message if interested cheers.

What recommendations do you guys have for budget Super 16 lenses for the new BM Pocket Cinema camera? I'd like to start doing some hunting on Ebay, but I really don't know what to look for! I'm a big fan of fast lenses for doc-style run-and-gun shooting and I also really like wide lenses for the great landscapes I have here in Phoenix!

People of the world. Have you been able to locate a Pocket Cinema Camera or Blackmagic 4K Production Model? Has your dealer been weeping on your shoulder recently? Do you know something we don't?   :)   This is the place for all Blackmagic camera related shipping news.

Hi.    I am looking for advice on a project. As I have limited green screen expereince, I want to make sure i get it right. I'm much more an 'on-location' kind of guy!   I've just been assigned a music video project using green screen and the Blackmagic Pocket Camera. Its a mickey take on Japanese infomercials.   The screen is painted 18FT wide, and we will be shooting around 8FT before the wall.   I have in my ownership 3 Dedolights and 2 Kino Flo Divas 401s. I know I will require more lights to light the screen (as my owned lights will be mostly lighting the actors), and I was thinking of mounting some Kino Flo 4 banks on C-stands high. The studio location has no lighting grid at the top.    The Pocket will always be on a tripod, filming wides, mids and close-ups of the products/adverts the Japanese people are 'selling.' Got the Panny 12-35mm and 35-100mm, the SLR Magic 12mm and loads of Canon FDs.   Does anybody want to give me any advice about this and the use of the Pocket camera? It would be much appreciated. I'm certain I'm doing everything right, just want to make sure I have everything in tow.    Thanks. 

I honestly dont even know what technology they are reffering to. An ef mount? Lol

Putting aside how obviously different the 70D and C300 are technologically, the majority of those shots were probably captured on Alexa.

well i am not doing requests : ) that is the way to madness i am already bankrupt and mental enough. i am not trying to achieve anything as i have a working item i think it is ok not for 5d size sensor and it is not an iscorama replacement. but it should best the slr magic thing : ) i think? unless they upgrade the mark 3 prototype to 4.

If you have Kino's available and can dump enough light on the green screen, I don't see any problem. The goal with green: plenty of light, consistently lit, no spill from the greenscreen itself to the actor, and no spill from the green's lights back to the actor. (Maximize distance of talent from green, as much as possible.)   Otherwise, I think you are in great shape. The BMPCC is a capable camera, so if you nail exposure and focus, you shouldn't have any problems in post knocking out the green.

"Tony wilson" could answer that. My understanding is they were not cheap when they came out due to complexity of building them, thus why no one can make a comparable modern anamorphic at a reasonable price.   You don't want to know the price from a decade ago, or even 3 years ago, it will make you weep :)
