Still rockin' in 2018 :)

And here's Training Day Part 2. BMPCC/Kowa Anamorphic combo. Color Graded to taste ?

A little short film I shot with the Bmpcc + Kowa 8z Anamorphic Adapter I repaired back in June. Color graded to taste - Download my BozBMDFilm to Rec709 LUT for Blackmagic Cinema Cameras Here: https://bulentozdemirfilms.wordpress.com/downloads/bmcc-bmpcc-bozbmdfilm-to-rec709-lut/

Thanks, Man. She'll be thrilled to hear that! ?

*** RESOLVED! *** A few guys over on facebook suggested using a hair dryer. And it seemingly did the trick! That, WD40 and a shit load of hard taps to the focus barrel ? Here's the process I used: Apply WD40 into the grooves of the focus barrel. Wipe off the excess liquid and leave for 24hrs. Use hair dryer on low setting, high heat over focus barrel and inside grooves. Tap hard around focus barrel with palm. Try to twist barrel and tap some more. repeat step 2 (if needed). repeat step 3 (if needed). Hopefully this might be of help to others too. Next Step: Clean, re-grease, re-build and at some point -- TEST. Best, -- B

It's not been cut. I removed the distance marker ring to access the screws ? I'll keep that in mind! All removed. The focus barrel was ceased. I say "was" as it's now been resolved! Just about to post an update ?

Thank you. Seen that vid before. The issue I have is that I'm unable to access the screws due to the focus barrel being stuck. Need to figure out a way of loosing it without breaking the damn thing! ? Hey @ken. Thanks for the pic! Modified? Please explain. How much are you wanting for that bad boy? ?

Hi All, Anyone have any experience with stripping down a Kowa 8z Anamorphic adapter? I've stripped down a couple of other scopes before but this one's giving me a bit of bother. The pics below are as far as I've got. Repair Issue: I want to access the screws (highlighted in red) but the focus barrel (helicoid?) is jammed - Won't rotate in either direction. Anyone experienced this before? If so, how did you release/fix it? I'm sure I'm missing something. @Tito Ferradans Maybe you might have some advice? Thanks in advance! -- B

Spammer/spambot? Well F**k me. I had no idea! Thanks, Kieran. I personally wouldn't consider Prores LT a relatively low codec. The target data rate weighs in at around 100mbps. That's GH4/5 [4K] data rates! And double that of a Sony A7s which, from my understanding, comes in at 50mbps. It's plenty and then some ? Shadow Warriors was shot specifically for The Fighting Spirit Film Festival and hence was shot in RAW. Anything else you've see from me that says 'BMPCC ' is all Prores LT ? Two brothers (elliander pictures) shot their first feature film titled 'Cosmos' in Prores LT. They did numerous tests and found that this codec gave them the best balance of image quality vs file size. To me, their work is exceptional. Best, -- B

Two main issue's I have with the Pocket is the native crop size (closer to 3.02x than 2.88x) and battery life. Also, the only reason this camera would eat up memory cards is if you're shooting high bitrates --> Prores 422/Prores 422 HQ or the main killer of card space --> RAW. My personal solutions: Use a speedbooster/focal reducer to reduce crop. Use a separate battery cradle that takes, in my case, Sony FP batteries. Shoot Prores LT (ALL my videos are shot in LT) In the case of online uploads, I see absolutely no reason to shoot in higher bitrates. The compression will kill any "extra detail" you think is justified with the much larger file sizes. As for the screen, you can pick up a decent 7" 4K field monitor (such as the FW760) for around £120.00gbp. If you're serious about getting a pocket, I'd say put aside another £200.00gbp for what I'd consider necessary accessories. The "pocket" part of the camera name actually means to put your HAND in your pocket! £££££ ? Hope that helps. Best, -- B

Thank you kindly. Much appreciated

Thank you very much, guys. Really appreciate the kind words

A small selection of narrative films I've written, directed and filmed over the past few years

Thanks. Not handled. I used the 'Tripod Dolly Technique'. Basically, you mount the camera on the tripod, shorten the back leg and push forward onto your subject. It's a frugal favourite Plenty of vids on YouTube that can do a much better job of explaining than I can! -- B

That's my Niece for you. She laughed and got on with it! You can install the picture profile with or without ML installed (ML was installed on mine). Those grades were pretty testing too -- I personally didn't see any noticeable reduction to image quality. Test away, man Nikon F Mount Carl Zeiss 25mm -- B

Sorry for the late reply. Been out of town! Yeah, laughed my ass off too when she hit the ground :D. Thanks, bud. These little cams have got so much to offer that it's a shame they're discarded like some kind of antique relic from the past. I personally find them more enjoyable and more satisfying to use Yep, I used Magic Lantern. My personal setting is 1.3x bitrate. I've found this is to be the best balance between image quality/file sizes for my needs. I don't see the point in creating big file sizes for minimal difference in quality (especially if uploading to YT, Vimeo etc). My profile isn't intended to be compared with Cinestyle or Marvel. For me it was more of a case of trying to create something like a -6 contrast option with a smoother transition between shadows and highlights. Pushing the 8bit codec in these Canons just produces muddy/noises images that I personally think is not very pleasing to look at. You'll def see the difference between Prolost and my profile. It's def worth checking out if you're looking for a little more wiggle room in your image. -- B Thanks. I used a Carl Zeiss 25mm prime lens. Ask away, man. I have nothing to hide! -- B

Thank you kindly, @Snowfun. Appreciate it

Thanks, Kieran

Thanks, @mercer. Kind of you and very much appreciated! Must admit, I'm pretty blown away with the specs of the new pocket. Looks like a true game changer
