Hiding Place from Philip Bloom on Vimeo.
Here is a great little piece showing the pocket cinema camera. Philip Bloom has been working on a review of the Pocket Cinema Camera for several days. His journey is very fun to follow on his blog. Definitely check it out. I like the image of the camera. Lots of detail in the shadows and has that Blackmagic camera look that is really appealing. Here is what Phillip says on Vimeo about this shoot.
All shots on the London Eye filmed in “stealth mode” No rig and one lens. The SLR Magic 12mm F1.6 with a Schneider Optics Variable ND
Shots at Waterlook Bridge shot with the Samyang/ Rokinon 35mm F1.4 and Metabones Speed Booster for MFT Nikon Mount. I used the Zacuto Marauder RIg to get fluid handheld motion. Much better!
St Paul’s Cathedral shot filmed with the Leica 90mm F2 on a tripod!
A huge thanks to actress Kate Loustau who I asked if she wouldn’t mind letting me film her for a few shots to test out the Pocket Camera for my review in exchange for dinner. If she had known she probably would have preferred to have gone hungry!
The London Eye is ridiculously strict about what you use camera wise in the capsules. Multiple lenses, tripods, video camera are a big fat no. Had many a…disagreement in the past 🙂
This was filmed for Part 2 of my Blackmagic Pocket Camera Review which is almost finished in edit. Part 1 is done but I can’t export it due to major computer issues. I shall keep trying!
Thanks again to Kate. You made this piece lovely.
Definitely go to Mr. Bloom’s blog and follow the review. It’s really great and he is putting a lot of effort into it.
From a lot of the reviews I have seen I realize that this camera has some quirks and isn’t a consumer camera. It’s a pro camera that requires patients and knowledge to get the best from it. I was kind of hoping that it wouldn’t be the case. I had delusions of a cinema vacation camera but I dont think so since you need a boat load of batteries and media cards to shoot with it. Either way I still would love to have one for my broadcast work. I would find some fun ways to work it in.
