yes, was just pulling focus on the lens itself no follow focus lol

Hi there, thanks for you interest! I'm afraid I can't find a version without subtitles. I seem to have burned them into to all the exports, and don't have the original footage. Sorry about that. I'm very happy to answer some questions though!

@@althenimble Thank you for your response. I have two questions. Why did you make this film? Is it for a film festival? Did you show this film to the public? What is the background of this lady? Who are 小哥哥, 老公, and Tom? I suppose there should be many interpretations, but I would like to know your one.

It's a great combo! And thanks for your comment! I don't have an instagram currently, but I'm looking to shoot more stuff over the next couple of months, so will set one up. I'll post details next time I share a video.

How about your insta? I just checked back in on your channel (haven't for a while) and we def. have some overlapping taste!

@@althenimble my instagram is @heavenlypersona.mf I’m looking forward to seeing you post some more stuff!

Viltrox turns MFT into approx S35, so that Sigma is like 18mm on S35 as its widest... This is the equivalent of ~15mm on S35. Laowa recently released a 6mm cine, equivalent of 12mm on S35 - very wide! That's as wide as you'll get on the OG BMPCC without going fisheye.

@@althenimble This was the answer I was looking for, thank you so much brother!

Thanks for the suggestion! I've never used TikTok, but I may investigate!

You are right! Just trying to learn from a master.

Laowa 7.5mm t2.1. It's a great lens! Now i really want to get my hands on the new 6mm, but it's kind of expensive! (I got my 7.5mm used)

@@althenimble awesome i wanted to get the 17mm f1.8. i guess i will buy 7.5mm because your footage looks so good.

Haha, depends one which film you’re referencing. This the equivalent of around ~15-16mm on super 35. TOL is mostly 15-18mm. TTW mostly ~15mm. KOC and STS 12mm-15mm. Then AHL mostly 12mm and occasionally as wide as 8mm. So compared to AHL, you’re right ;)

@@althenimble He sure does love his stretched out foreheads xD I just saw a Hidden Life, wonderful movie. Also forgot to say that your image here is beautiful.

Thanks! The Laowa 7.5mm t2.1

@@althenimble Oh man! I guess I gotta find myself that lens now! It looks so good with the ogbmpcc!

@@edwardenciu yeah this lens I can unequivocally recommend. It’s the best value new lens I’ve come across. The characteristics (very well controlled distortion, contrast and colors, and controlled flares) are reminiscent of much more expensive glass. It reminds me of modern zeiss lenses like the ultra primes.

I turned my basic grade into a LUT, then do false colour on my monitor. Look depending, I’ll be going for the standard 70 IRE on the talent. I find for me personally, ETTR makes me too afraid of clipping and I often end up underexposing. Some clipping in the right places is fine as long as the highlights are rolled off nicely, IMO

@@althenimble thanks for you answer! But what adjustments are usually included in your basic grade? I want to try it also.

@@GlennUpgraded just do a grade on a clip that’s well-exposed and broadly representative - ie. mid shot of talent in a high contrast scene. I just do the Arri conversion with a couple of tweaks as mentioned elsewhere in the comments as my starting point. This base LUT shouldn’t “bake in” any exposure compensation to look good (both subjectively and in the scopes) - if it does, you’re using the wrong example clip. For this purpose, i go for a very neutral look, like manufactures aim to when making theirs. Then of course you need a monitor that can load LUTs and do false colour, but that includes many inexpensive options nowadays.

Most importantgrade adjustment for exposure purposes is your contrast curve. You can do that manually or have it as part of a color space conversion and/or an existing LUT

Thank you so much!

I'll have a go! Might get some free time next month

@@althenimble yes please! I will also wait for the tutorial. 😁

Yeah, that wide look sometimes works really well. Best with natural light and slim actors! I've found also works well at hip height and 2:35 because you get less intense distortion on faces (when you're really close up your not on the face)

This lens would be the equivalent of 15mm on a super-35 sensor

@@althenimble Spielberg uses lens distortion artistically which we can see on his most films so distrotion is not a negative vibe on motion picture if use it correctly 😀

@@arunr4103 For sure, I've found you just have to be aware of what challenges it poses. And of course Malick goes wider than almost anyone else in the industry. In A Hidden Life they even used some 8mm I think!

Basically it was convert colour space and gamma into arri, then use the arri Rec709 LUT, then manually tweak the "custom" curve. In my opinion, this camera is really sensitive to correct exposure, i.e dynamic range is good but latitude is not so good (I could be wrong). So the key is really nailing the correct exposure, then the grade is relatively easy

@@althenimble the camera is sensitive 😂 you not wrong about that

Благодарность!

haha, actually she's just a friend (my wife's friend, actually, lol) - but you're right!

Such a great comment lol.

Appreciate that, thanks! Working on it.

Wow, cheers! Really appreciate it!

Hate these sorts of questions but I was curious too as to your grading process for this. I don't believe there's any way to get Gen 5 color science on this version of the pocket UNLESS you do it in post once you shoot raw but I just don't know if that conversion would be available. I personally use Emotive Color's "P4KALEX" lut as my base on my 4k which essentially give you a Arri rec709 look as a starting point - your footage with the grade looks so wonderful & It looks just like how I would grade it, I find it hard to believe you stuck with the gen 1 color science!

@@NazeerThomasFilm for this one it's pretty simple - I did colour space transform from Film Gen1 to Arri Alexa colour space (seems to hold onto highlights in a pleasant way for me), then used color boost/gamma/gain to get the approximate look I wanted, then the "custom" curve to fine-tune.

So you're right, I guess! Not really sticking with gen 1 science and I like the Arri rec709 look a lot too

@@althenimble hahaa I thought so! Thanks a lot, I was burning to know how you pulled this off, there's a lot of horribly graded vidoes online with the pocket, I figured it had to be as simple as you using the Arri Color Space & then grading from there, it's awesome that we both share the same eye! Eager to see more posts from you in the future

Thanks a lot!
