This really shows how when done right, a 28mm lens as slow as f3.5 on a super 35 camera, will look more cinematic than a fullframe with a 50mm 1.4 if you know how to compose and craft beautiful images. The Mir tends to have a lot of character already so while the beautiful dreamy images are great, taking off the BPM 1/8 would still show beautiful character from the lens
Please Blackmagic, if you read this -- the form factor on this thing is killing us out here. We WANT to use it but the lack of modularity (to mount V-mount batteries, on-camera monitor, audio, etc.) it's just not workable anymore. It hurts. For those of us who love BMD's color but can't show up to set looking like we just got our first DSLR out of film school. PLEASE create a box camera which we can customize and it'll crush the Komodo!
Have you seen the new bmpcc 4k/6k mod kit that someone is working on? I believe it’s called “pod”. Still has the DSLR style body but the v mount and monitor issue are solved with it. Looks pretty cool.
@@VasariFilms yeah for me it’s tough, there are a decent amount of factors to consider. Preference of color science, form factor, shooting style, menu set up, post workflow, importance of global shutter, internal NDs, and usable built in screen, price point, fps, etc. I think for run and gun scenarios I’d rather have the blackmagic and I love working with braw in davinci, but if we’re looking at straight up image quality I’d agree that the Komodo has the edge. So that’d be my choice for a larger production. Given the price point I suppose a better comparison would be between the ursa 12k olpf and the red Komodo. In that scenario I have a slight preference towards the Ursa at the moment, but it’s really hard to say until I get my hands on both of them. Sorry for the length, was just typing all my thoughts lol.
Amazing production and colorgrade ♥. I am thinking to rent this camera for a couple of days to film mainly in nature. Is it cool to share about the luts and what color profile did you use. Again, amazing work.
Hi, thanks or the kind words. I used Juan Melara’s BMPCC6k2Alexa powergrade as a base then just fine tuned it to my liking. Settings were 6k Braw, 5:1 compression
The scene filmed in the sea is as beautiful as a scene from a movie. Especially the 25, 35, and 46 seconds scenes are really pretty. Can you tell me if it's a scene made with a black mist filter? If you used it, I'd like to know the details. 1/4? 1/2? ☺️
Hmm I’m not to sure, I’d probs have it serviced by a professional and adjusted to give you an infinity. Shouldn’t cost too much. Would probs avoid grinding it down.
That’s a good question. I tend to shoot with the Mir 10a far more than the 20m, I just like that I still get some nice depth. The 20m is pretty nice if you want that wide look. It definitely has some really strong and unique lens flares though, just something to be aware of when back lighting. Personally I like to get the whole Soviet set just to have those options incase I need them and be able to have a somewhat consistent feel throughout. I’d say get it and you can always sell it for the same price if you don’t like it
@@jaceelliott thank you!!!! I now have the Helios 40-2 and Helios KMZ 44-2 and 77m-4 and Mir-1b , Mir10a and Tair-11A and Jupiter 9. The MIR20m would be the last piece to my set. But I wasn’t sure if it was necessary to have. Thank you again! Your work is amazing bro keep up the great work 👑
@@SouthPhilly28th That's an awesome collection and thank you! The Mir 20m was definitely the one I was most excited about. The Mir 1b 37mm has a pretty cool look too. A lot of character.
@@SouthPhilly28th good question. I went with the non-MC version just because I really wanted to strong vintage look and heavy flares. I think either way you’ll get an awesome look and it probably won’t be that big of a difference. That being said, I would go with the non-MC if it’s available and isn’t significantly more expensive
@@PAPA76MAC I just want to get as much information out of the footage as possible for grading, but honestly because it’s going on CZcams it probably makes most sense to use 12:1 since CZcams destroys the footage anyways
I appreciate it and I can definitely see how you feel that way. Went with a dreamy look but it could have been a little too much haha. Next time I’ll have to consider cutting it back. Thanks!
@@Tjandramusic in the scene with the cliffs and the sun reflecting off it, it almost looks like it could be 1/2. I think 1/8 is perfect. Subtle but still looks lovely.

Love this vibe so much. Color grade is such a great mood and the static camera is so nice!
Thank you! I really appreciate it!

Thanks man! And I agree! Honestly though it was the halation in post that made it overkill, I’d go back and reduce it if I could haha
Holy hell ! Well shot , great color and you captured sf in such a unique way!
Thank you! I appreciate it🙏🏽
Wow, great shots - especially the ocean scenes got me 😃
You painted a beautiful atmosphere 😇
Thank you! I appreciate it!
Great shots! Nice music... I thought it was the start to a movie.The walkman was a great touch.
Thanks! I really appreciate it!
such beautiful colors, well done!
Thank you, I appreciate it!
Great work! Love it!
Thank you!
Great work！
Beautiful color!!

I like your work, bro. it's made me get back into filmmaking. stuff like this is simple but powerful. grazie..

This is so dope ❤

Did you shoot with a Komodo?
@@VasariFilms Nah, the BMPCC 6K Pro. Never used a Komodo, would be cool to test them out side by side myself though.
I mean like for comparison. I think red had the edge on BMPCC but its performs beautifull as well.@@jaceelliott

I grew up around SF and you really captured it well. My only gripe is whatever mist filter you used is way too strong.
Thanks! And I agree. It was a 1/8 plus the vintage lens plus some in post. Defs a bit too heavy haha
I dig this so much! I need to break out mine and get the shooting.
Thanks! I need to do the same. Haven’t posted anything new in a while haha
Lovely
Thank you!
🔥🔥
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Nice camera lens combo🎉
Agreed!
I have one of these i may need another for my other camera great video
Love this lens and thank you!
@@jaceelliott looks so good
Great
Thank you!
Amazing🎉 all your videos look amazing especially the colors, what method do you use to grade?
Thanks! Pretty straight forward. Just go with an arri rec 709 conversion kit then add some halation and grain for a vintage flare
Amazing how sound design can turn 19th into a quaint quiet street
This was just timing. The street sound you hear is just out of camera. Low volume so it’s fairly subtle but it’s all natural. Got lucky haha
@@jaceelliott that is lucky! love me some Sunsetcore LOL
@@uniworkhorse same ! haha

It looks fantastic, the way it responds to the highlights. Did you apply the grain and the glow in Davinci?
Thank you! Partially in camera and partially in davinci. Went a little overboard with halation on this one haha
wich lens did u use? especially at 25 sec. And the f/t? thank u so much. Really a great work, well done
Thank you. I used the Mir 10A 28mm. I shot right around f3.5 - 4 for most of the shots.

Thank you! I really appreciate it! I had a tiffen black pro mist 1/8 filter on it
really nice ^_^
Thank you!
I have a measure of 10 and no infinity on my Canon, do I need to grind it down a bit?
Hmm I’m not to sure, I’d probs have it serviced by a professional and adjusted to give you an infinity. Shouldn’t cost too much. Would probs avoid grinding it down.
You capture Beautiful frames brother, Do use any IR filter ?
Yep! Realized it’s a must when using the bmpcc 6k pro, I just use one made by ice and it does a great job at getting rid of the magenta in the shadows
@@jaceelliott Than you so much bro, for the info
@@ina00203 no problem!
hey bro can you share the ungraded footage, it would be great becuz im practicing color grading
Hey man! Unfortunately I don’t have it. Most of these lens tests I just delete the footage after. Sorry about that!
Amazing images! Love the Colorgrading. Did u use a film emulation power grade?
Thanks! And nah used a basic rec 709 powergrade then tried to make it my own and give vintage characteristics within davinci
Did you use a diffusen filter?
Had a 1/8 tiffen pro mist on, got a little carried away with halation in post lol
I own a Mir10a do you recommend that I should purchase the MIR20m as well?

What settings you use for this
6k BRAW, 5:1, 24fps, 180° shutter angle, film, constant bitrate, f2.8-5.6 for most shots
@@jaceelliott bet. What made you use 5:1 I use 12:1 ?
@@PAPA76MAC I just want to get as much information out of the footage as possible for grading, but honestly because it’s going on CZcams it probably makes most sense to use 12:1 since CZcams destroys the footage anyways
@@jaceelliott that’s exactly why I use it and because the files be smaller. But I might start using 5:1 just to see how grading is on it
Where did you get the pro mist from? Link me
Tripod > all
Tripod and handheld are my faves, had a gimbal and steadicam faze but I hardly find myself using them now
Compositionally I like it but the Pro Mist is too strong IMO.
I appreciate it and I can definitely see how you feel that way. Went with a dreamy look but it could have been a little too much haha. Next time I’ll have to consider cutting it back. Thanks!
Which pro mist did you use. How strong was it
@@Tjandramusic in the scene with the cliffs and the sun reflecting off it, it almost looks like it could be 1/2. I think 1/8 is perfect. Subtle but still looks lovely.
So 1/2 is the one you used for the video? :)
@@Tjandramusic it's not my video. I'm guessing based off the amount of halation.
WAY TOO DIFFUSEY. AND GLOWY. WTF.
Was going for a dreamlike look. Overall I like how it came out, but you could be right, might be a bit too much halation. I appreciate the feedback!
@@jaceelliott well you got dreamy for sure. nice work.
@@jaceelliott I liked the diffused look. Had a classical quality to it. Nice work
@@BigBlobProductions thanks man I appreciate it!
@jaceelliott excellent work bro! Beautiful color grade and the overall look is outstanding 👑🎥🔥💯
