RE: Capturing a 7' tall clown's "Hallelujah" performance with a hodgepodge of cameras.
Wow... it's so great to see that there is at least one other filmmaker here on Steemit. I've been looking for a blog platform for awhile now, this is a great start. And I'm glad that you enjoyed this project... yeah it was a bit of a perfect storm for that one, funny how those things work out sometimes. This was done almost 2 years ago, so Resolve11 was the thing then. Now I shoot with an Ursa Mini 4.6k, so I've got the full-boat version of Resolve (12.5) and absolutely depend on the great noise reduction in there. My main camera setup now is the UM4.6k, BMPCC and DJI X5R (which shoots raw and matches with the BM cameras really beautifully).
And hey, I think we just started the filmmaking community on Steemit. :)
There are some others too, @winstonwolfe comes to mind. :)
Nice! How are you finding the Ursa Mini 4.6K by the way? I have heard very mixed reaction. The 4K version is quite poor though. I mean, good resolution and colour, the uncompressed RAW is awesome, but abysmal dynamic range and noise performance, not to mention dodgy reliability.
I'll have to check Winston out, thanks. The 4.6k is a dream come true (completely different sensor than the 4k). 14 solid stops of dynamic range, great ergonomics (especially with the 4.0 firmware update), usable audio preamps (at 50% or below), and incredible skin tones. I'm even getting decent low-light performance... maybe tomorrow's post will be about a fun project I made this summer with that camera. In case you're interested, here's my first test I made with the camera in May. Shows the dynamic range and skin tones really well, especially for just a little throwaway test I needed to check out the camera. I love this machine... major home run for Black Magic.
