How does footage from a 10 year old camera, the Blackmagic Production 4k, match with a brand new Cinema Camera 6k Full Frame also from Blackmagic? Blackmagic Cinema Camera 6K FF - amzn.to/3Po4pMM Production Camera 4K - amzn.to/3Vl1FmX
Production Cam 4K was my first real cinema camera. It definitely had its limitations and quirks but given the right conditions that camera could produce an incredible image. Some of my favourite things I've ever shot came out of it! And even with those limitations, much like celluloid, I found I learned a ton about proper lighting and exposure.
This response is everything! Yes, it really does help me focus (no pun intended) on proper lighting and exposure, but wow, what an amazing image it produces. I'm surprised I haven't retired it by now.
@@mattspadesoundandvision I imagine you also have a feeling of some pride when you are able to get good results with a challenging camera. I have gone out of my way to use older equipment to challenge myself and when I nail the shot, I get super excited. Those CCD sensors are something special. If you have the time, I would love to see a comparison of the colors with all the same settings and a similar framing to get the metering the same to see how the CCD renders colors vs the CMOS. I compared 2 Sony cameras with the same focal length and the results were striking.
Thanks for your videos. You made me buy the production 4k last week and I'm really happy with the purchase, it'll work as my B cam as I already own the 6K ! Keep up with the good work, thanks mate
Thank you for commenting! And my apologies for the delay. I have yet to find a reason to not use this production 4K camera. It is still giving me such a great image that I just can’t let go of it.
I am looking to upgrade my camera situation for my RU-vid channel. I used to shoot photography professionally and am not afraid of more manual controls. I am looking at the Blackmagic full frame or waiting for the Sony FX3 Mark II. What are you thoughts? I do some hand held videography and the rolling shutter bugs me.
The Sony would be the better choice for RU-vid since it has continuous auto focus with facial recognition. Even though it is rolling shutter, it is much more stable than the black magic full frame. The BMCC is better to be behind the camera.
Thank you. When do you think the new Sony FX3 Mark II will be available this year and would you wait for it verse buying the FX3 if they are going to be similar in price? @@mattspadesoundandvision
@@BigTimberLodge to be honest, I haven't looked much into the Mark II version but depending on if you want a hybrid camera; one for both photography and video there's this from a Sony article: " If you're more into traditional videography or photography and prefer an electronic viewfinder, the A7s III might be the better choice. However, if you lean towards professional video production and need better audio capabilities and superior handheld stabilization, the FX3 could be worth the extra investment." I lean more towards the Blackmagic cameras because of the image quality and then for the features.
Is there a way to combat the rolling shutter with the Blackmagic design? I really like the footage coming off the Cinema Camera 6k and I still have some really nice Canon EF lenses and with the L mount could get an adapter to use them. I am hesitant due to the lack of autofocus with the Blackmagic, as a mostly solo RU-vidr who needs to be in front and behind the camera.@@mattspadesoundandvision
Hey Matt! Been loving my Black magic production 4k camera for about 5 years. I appreciate you being one of the only people posting about this camera still Global shutter is king! sadly it came with a very faulty charge port, and have to angle it just right to charge it. Then I have to turn it off after every shot to get the most out the 10 minute battery haha. Wish I could fix but may upgrade to an Ursa or 6kFF. Curious what your thoughts on if you think those new blazar remus 1.5x anamorphics would work on the production 4k I really want the 45mm, just not sure if squeezing that 16x9 sensor with no anamorphic mode would even look good with its 4k resolution?
It's good to hear from you! Sorry about that power supply. Mine has this issue with it not recognizing the SSD card when I turn it on, but turning it on/off a. few times gets it. Once it recognizes it, it stays. As far as anamorphic, they do make APS-C lenses. Sirui is one company, but unfortunately, there is no EF mount. You could get the RF or EF-M mount version and use a basic adaptor. I've been using one for the FF from Sirui and love it. Cheers!
Here is a trick: Take the camera OFF the tripod and go sit down where you will be sitting. Use manual Focus to focus on the tripod head. Put the camera back on the tripod and point it where you will be sitting.
Your video doesn't provide a proper comparison, as the recordings from the two cameras are not always the same. They are also cut together a little too quickly, so I don't have a real overview. But yes, color science has changed and has become very commercial since the bmpcc 4k- 6k pro or g2. In my opinion, the bmpcc og as well as the production 4k camera have better color science when it comes to that "cinematic feeling". But that doesn't mean that I can adjust recordings made with the 6k very well in post. Just think of the Arri Alexa mini, which in no way resembles the color profile of an older bmpcc and yet it still achieves really cinematic color profiles in post production. Perhaps in the past, with the older versions of the bmpcc series, we were given an easier starting point to get a little closer to that "cinematic feeling" right out of the box. With the bmpcc 4k, 6k, pro, G2 it depends more on your post production/color grading skills. The next video I'm going to watch on your channel is "5 Reasons Why You Need The Blackmagic Pocket Cindema 6k". I'm really excited 😉
