- A sort of tongue-in-cheek play on the "one last job and then I'm out" trope.

BMPCC4K
Meike 16MM T2.2
Mitakon Speedmaster 25MM T1.0
BRAW 8:1

Cut and graded in Resolve using Phantom LUTS
I'd say you pretty much nailed it on this one. Composition, the music along with the grade. Impressed
Thank you! I was very pleased with how it turned out, especially since the majority of the shots were improvised.
What a great reminder for me... That I need to pull this camera back out the closet. Such a good camera, still holds up and looks great ! Nice job on this piece, you crushed it.
Thanks! I do love this camera. Generally I rig it out a bit but on this one while we were out and about it was literally just the camera and lens. Well that and a few extra batteries at the ready!
Some stunning shots! Love the feeling of the piece Brandon. Great job!
Thanks Matt!
Beautiful color and shots! Just amazing!
Thank you! Really appreciate that!
Brandon thanks for sharing your creativity with us, this is an absolutely amazing film, very mysterious. Started feeling the tension rise as he was going up on the escalator in WTC. I see you were shooting around 50th street on the Westside, nice composition, camera angles, great colors, great location. This is truly inspiring for me, I love it and have learnt from you just watching this film. Congratulations to you and your entire team for doing such awesome work.
Thank you, really appreciate your comments.
Nicely shot! Stunning footage...!!!
Thank you very much, I really appreciate that!
This is some hollywood quality shots you got there
Wow thank you! Really appreciate that!
Great colours. Keep up the good work!!
Thanks!
Wow! This looks beautiful!
Thank you, really appreciate that!
@@brandonrude I just got my BMPCC 4K, waiting on my lens to arrive to start practicing and your work is inspirational man. Is this just a hobby or you're pursuing filmmaking?
@@Wimana868 Wow I'm really flattered. In a previous life I did some professional photo work, but this is purely a hobby. I am working to make an actual narrative short film as a passion project. Who knows, though; maybe one day it'll become a professional endeavor. I'll follow your channel, can't wait to see what you create!
We'll done The second shot is particularly interesting to look at!
Thank you very much. Definitely want to get that same shot at night now too.
I dig your work. Keep doing it!
Appreciate that! Working on a couple new projects right now so stay tuned.
👏🏼
Clean shots!
Thanks Daniel!
Great footage!
Thank you very much!
Nice work!
Thank you!
This looks amazing
Thanks! I'd been wanting to film on those escalators for a while!
@@brandonrude you definitely made the most of it! Such a clean grade as well!
@@AnthonyHadleyJr Appreciate that. The grade thankfully wasn't too difficult. I think this was the Utopia LUT from Phantom LUTs. I did some tweaking here and there, mostly for the skin tones, and then added a touch of film grain.
I'm confused. I'm assuming those are the same pair of gloves, but I don't understand why they were left there or why they were picked up in the hotel. Also in the second shot he also picks up what Im guessing is a coaster. Is he like a waiter or something? The filming is beautiful by the way!
The gloves are a play on the “dead drop” trope common in spy movies. The coaster has a note/instructions of what he has to do. We filmed a couple frames with different notes on it but decided to leave it mysterious.
Wow!!!
Thanks!
great shots! I'm getting familiar with this camera right now. Did you handheld it?
Thanks Hugo! The shots on the balcony were on a monopod, but the rest was handled. Some shots had a little bit of stabilization in post.
nice
Looks good! I think the filters make a heck of a difference. I have to get some. This looks like it's shot on a much more expensive camera. Great job!
Thanks! I’ve been very pleased with the filters so far. The Freewell filters are fantastic as they have IR cut in addition to ND. That and the hard stops are are a lifesaver for avoiding vignetting from cranking it too far.
The BMP has also been great at removing that digital edge. Personally I don’t know if I’d go stronger than 1/8th but that’s just my taste.
@@brandonrude You gained a sub for sure. I am going to buy some for my 16mm as well because this cheap Gobe filter kills my images.
Looking forward to more!
@@Tobirama_isHimju Thanks again! And yeah the filters are a little pricey but def worth it IMO.
@@brandonrude Hey man, your short looks amazing! Just wanted to bounce off this info to ask : did you get the VND from Freewell or the hardstops? Thanks!
@@AC-gk7jl Thanks! The filters are the VND ones. By "hard stops" here I mean that they don't let you turn them in a full circle. So for the 2-5 stop filter, you can't rotate it past the 2-stop mark or past the 5-stop mark. This way it prevents you from rotating it too far and getting that X pattern, which I often did with my Tiffen VND.
let him play a real role. he's got the face
He does indeed. We’re planning another project together and he’ll definitely have some lines!
nice shots , what lens did u use ?
Thank you. The majority of shots were with the Meike 16MM T2.2 and a few of the closeups and insert shots were on the Mitakon Speedmaster T1.0, both in MFT mount.
Can you tell me what format you filmed in? What are the camera settings?
I always shoot in BRAW in the Film profile and this project was filmed at 8:1 compression. Most clips were at 24fps but the slow motion ones were at 60fps. Most shots were at T2.8 but I think I went up to T4 or T5.6 for the shot of the building and the wide shot of the streets from the balcony.
@@brandonrude Thanks, I meant what parameters did you set on the camera: 4K DCI or 4K 2.4:1? And I still can't understand why I can't achieve the same color as in your video? Where and how did you colorize the video? Thanks
@@drunkstreet_official Ah, got it. It was all shot at 4K DCI and then for the color I used the Eterna LUT from Phantom LUTS as the base for my color grade. Then I adjusted things as needed in post using Davinci Resolve to get the colors where I wanted. We wanted this to have a colder mood/feeling overall so I added a slight blue cast to the clips and reduced the saturation a bit.
I also load the LUT into the camera, that way when I'm filming I can get a good idea of how the final image will look and I can adjust the exposure to ensure I'm getting what I want.
@@brandonrude Oh, thank you very much) Could you share the LUT with me, I will be very grateful to you! And another question, what sequence of color correction did you have in DaVinci? Did you use the Color Space Transform first or did you apply the LUT straight away? What kind of LUT are you loading into the camera? Could you please share them with me? Thank you very much in advance)
@@brandonrude
please answer the question I asked above, it is very important for me, thank you
Can I get your export settings sir ?
Sure, I have the project archived so going by memory here, but it was 3840x1634, h.264, mp4, and then the bitrate setting or whatever at highest quality. I can pull it up over the weekend if there’s any other details you’d find helpful.
@@brandonrude yes please if you can get like some photos pulled up I need the settings this upload and the compression came out super well
Looks fantastic. Music felt slightly too fast for how slow everything was moving.
Thanks. Finding the right music for this was a tough one. I considered something slower but the pacing just didn't seem right. I likewise even tried out a much faster, blockbuster kind of thing but it was just too over the top.
