Great Video! I love the look and feel of your filming. I also have this setup and I was wondering how you deal with the lens not retracting when you power off the camera. I have to do a “release trigger dance” each time. I have also been buying your power grades... I think they are amazing.
Thanks so much! My lens does actually close down when I power off the camera, it only stays extended if I turn the camera off whilst viewing a clip (which I rarely do in order to conserve battery life)
The funny thing. I saw this was about the BM OG and I clicked on it I scrub through then I stopped, I said hey that's Streatham common I'm sure ....but not 100% then ok I carried on then I saw the train, that was a nice shot and the fruit bowl was too, now I'm paused at 1:36 I see my home town. the st Mathews church and the Townhall clock even the steeple of the church on lambert rd. Which was something I could see from the top floor flat on Bonham rd as a child. Well, it means so much to me because I was born in Brixton and grew up there in the 70's all the way to 2004...where am I now with my BMPCC OG and 4k on the other side of the planet typing this on a Saturday morning in Argentina my New home for the past few years. This post brought me home...the images look good keep it up...tell a story with it.
Nicely said! The misconception that capturing a worthwhile image should be easy or convenient never fails to amaze me. If you want something to look like a Gordon Willis film, you need a camera loader, a budget and a workflow that's borderline extinct. To capture something like Bradford Young you'll need K35's and an Alexa. What's so easy or convenient about that? This tiny camera blows most DSLRs out of the water in terms of image fidelity and cadence with very little work, all things considered. Your work is inspiring. I own two of these cameras and treasure them dearly.
Sigma fp and BMPCC OG are the two cameras I use, even if I also have a S5 and BMPPC4k. Just love the image quality of the Sigma fp and the retro image quality of the BMPCC OG.
I hesitated on grabbing this for the same reason, got overwhelmed by all the advice about needing a big rig, but you convinced me otherwise. Love the filmic look this camera delivers. Gorgeous scenery you captured here!
00:39 - funny you shot a train, that's the exact reason I am looking at these pocket cinema cameras. Great video too, lots of actual camera footage, no obnoxious intro, just straight to the point!
Great video! I love this camera! I've been using mine since 2014 and never felt the need to upgrade. But i do treat it like a cinema camera and not a pocket camera
This is the first gear video I've seen in years that's actually moved my needle. You've seriously made me rethink some of my preconceptions of not only this particular camera but of how equipment changes the way that we interface with what we're capturing.
I’ve wanted the bmpcc ever since it came out and your videos convinced me to finally pull the trigger. Bought your power grade too. Excellent work. Cant wait to travel with this camera.
Just recently got this camera, and your videos are helping a ton. Can't wait for the color grading one. Also resonate a lot with you and your viewpoint of the camera. Im new to the filmmaker world, but glad we are a part of it. Good luck to you man, I'll be appreciating your content
This little camera is beast! The original BMPCC is the o ou camera that has a very very very close look of a 16mm film camera. You can really achieve film like quality with this baby.
I saw bloc party at brixton academy while on holiday in the UK in 2016, so that was great to see in your shots. You’ve got the right approach with the bmpcc and you’re getting great shots.
Really good video. The color grading is very film like. Some of the shots look like they're from the movie Children of Men. 3:18 is incredible. I wonder if there is a more fast lens that has good image stabilization
@@oliverkeyscine I definitely recommend the canon 35mm F2 IS. Great lens. Maybe try the panasonic 12-35 it has IS too, but it's a much bigger lens. also just want to make sure, was 3:18 filmed with the 14-42 too?
Thank you, Oliver. The emotional power and beauty of your images is remarkable. Lovely work. I feel inspired now to take a look at this camera--as you say, a true pocket cinema camera.
Can't wait to see what content you shoot with this camera, something about the colors thats better than even the pocket 4k! Honestly debating on picking one up as a travel camera.
Stunning. Could tell me where did you find the viewfinder? I found only one Wich is made for 3.2” screen. Would it fit also on the Bmpcc og? Thx and sry for my English
Tank you for this video. I recently was given this camera. The screen is broken (it shows purple color on the screen) but I'm trying it out right now to see how the quality is. I hope they turn out as beautiful as your shots. I have two batteries, it def could use a third.
Well you’ve just convinced me with this beautiful footage and size to get one and move away from super 8. I’ve got some c mount lenses and ordered one with a loupe and external battery pack. Do I need anything else other than a pistol grip? VND or some other filter maybe? Also will definitely be picking up your orthochromatic powergrade looks fantastic and a great starting point for a beginner!
🔥🔥🔥 I been rocking the of bmpcc for about 7 years and it still holds up to all the clout from when it first came out. I have the 14-4mm and 25mm lumix lens. In addition to that I have the bmpcc metabones f to mf3 speedbooster to adapt my all my Nikon lenses to the camera. The speedbooster basically converted the crop factor from 2.88 to 1.75 making the super 16 sensor basically a super 35. It also gave me a better shallow depth of field and Increased my aperture by 1 2/3stop. (with a maximum output aperture of f/0.74). Great choice on camera, I look forward to seeing what you do with it.
Absolutely love this. I was between this camera and the lumix gx85 (ended up getting the latter because of your videos and also for a really good price, but still have a slight yearning for the bmpcc). Either way, you keep inspiring me to go out and shoot. Looking forward to future videos. Keep up the good work!
Hello Oliver, great review! Thanks for sharing. I was just wondering how does it handle to the focusing with the lumix 14-42mm. Since there is no focus ring. Are there any constraints regarding the focusing with this lense? Thanks in advance!
I couldn't agree more. I own a Sony A1 and a Bmpcc 6k before that. The number of hours I've put in trying to get them to look like film is actually sad. There's a wisdom in allowing them to just be what they are and I can appreciate that point of view. However I grew up watching movies shot on film and projected on film in theaters. There is a magic to this image, one that feels like it's from another world, the movie world, one not of our own. That's the magic of film, it takes us into another world, separate from our own. This is almost completely nullified when it comes to digital movies, most of which look like the behind the scenes clips you would expect to see for an actual movie. They scream reality, which is great for documentary, but not for achieving a look for a world not our own. Even newer films shot on the Alexa Lf and Venice look like facsimiles of the real thing, which is film. There is a believability and world creation that happens on film that simply cannot be duplicated by any other medium. The Pocket comes the closest in my opinion. These clips you shot here look more like film than any digital camera I've seen. The Sigma Fp is pretty good to, but there's a saturation and softness to the Pocket that equates directly to the film image in a way that's unparalleled by other cameras, even contemporary ones.
I got the Lumix G Vario 14-45 without the power zoom, its bulkier and I can't seem to get a smooth zoom with it, it seems to skip a bit. I may have to pick up the PZ version, it looks real nice!
Thank you for pleasant video. I own two of these cameras, but both(!) suffer from hot("dead") white pixel problem, especially in high iso. I can only shoot in 200/400 ISO and well exposed otherwise there is plenty of white pixels in footage... Did you noticed some similiar problems with your camera? Just finding some solutions for this problem. Otherwise it is great camera, but it seems there is no similiar replacement on market for such small cinema camera.., thank you once again.
Absolutely Beautiful!! Got my (used) BMPCc yesterday.. still working :)) .. do you just simply upskale to 4 K after editing in HD, to get VP9 codec presumably better Q and bitrate on YT?
Nice work! That camera is very special, but I don't think people realize how great these little Panasonic kit lenses are as well! I use many other lenses but I always come back to these Panny lenses for this camera, specifically this 14-42mm pz pancake lens and the 12-35mm f2.8 lens.
Thanks very much and I completely agree! Always amazed at how sharp these lenses are even though they’re so compact. I’ve heard a lot of good things about the 12-35mm 2.8 so will have to give that a go soon for sure!
Lovley video. Two things? What is it people say thats bad about this camera ? AND also, theres a couple shots of the camera in your hand so obviously they were filmed with a different camera and it looked great so could you tell us what camera filmed that too please?
It is nice video mate. Unfortunately i can find this camera in my country. Do you have other old camera for video which have old vintage look. I want to purcase my very first camera
@@oliverkeyscine bro its the best kit lens i've ever used! the stabilization is amazing and it has a great range for the 2,88 crop! would love to see some footage in ur hand
Maaaan,I thought I was at a film festival watching a doc.Very very smooth presentation. What's the battery life? U said it's not great but how long per battery?
Great video Oliver. Do you find that the electronic zoom and focus method of the 14-42 lens helps with video compared to ring focus/zoom? I ask because I am looking for a portable setup for everyday documentary, like how you use it. I am used to large lenses and contorting my hands to achieve dolly zooms and focus pulls, but the lumix vario seems perfect because the zoom and focus is handled a bit like a camcorder.
Loved the video! What about a video on the settings you use to shoot? Another good one is export settings on Davinci Resolve. Keep up with the content!
Hello ! I bought these nice camera on second hand two weeks ago and I must said I little confuse about functionality , I saw some videos about guys making Star Wars models video shoot with slider but they had the 4k model, I couldn't afford this one, I think I need to study about shooting. I bought with Zuiko 14-42 mm - Olympus and my "problem" for filming models is autofocus, I heard that it exist some zoom with autofocus... So emotional video, most of time basic is the best :)
Hey man, this video definitely sold me on the G X 14-42, what an amazing lens for the price! One question I wanted to ask you is whether the lens' OIS works with your BMCC without issue? I've been reading some old forum posts which seem to say optical OIS wasn't working on the BMPCC when the lens was first released. Also, does the lens hold focus when zooming in and out of objects, or is it a varifocal? Thank you!
Thanks very much for the comment! I have the most up to date firmware on the Bmpcc and the lens works fine, although I have heard of some people experiencing issues with it on older firmwares. I also haven’t had any issues with losing focus when zooming in or out!
Lovely footage, Oliver. Your videos have inspired me to bust out my old BMPCC OG. I need to pick up a lens for it and I’m seriously considering the LUMIX 14-42. Have you tried doing focus pulls with the little focus lever? I’m curious what that operation is like and how usable it actually is. Or if I’d just be better off going with a different lens that enables me to pull focus.
Thanks very much! Focus pulling with the 14-42mm lens is pretty tough so I tend just to lock focus before shooting. If you’re looking to change focus whilst shooting I’d recommend getting a different lens (always liked the look of the 12-35mm f2.8
Is the lens important achieve that vintage look? I heard someone recommend a helius lens to me. And did it need any more coloring to have that vintage sort of look or does it look like that straight out the camera?
Hey, the lens definitely helps, but the Color grading is also very important. For the clips in this video I used my own film powergrade, link in the description of you wanted to get it for yourself :)
Beautiful video friend.. I have this camera with an Olympus lens, but I see that I do not extract the best quality from the camera with this lens.. What other lens do you recommend, so that I can extract the maximum quality from the camera? Sigma? Lumix? or another?
Cool footage. I wondered using the BMPCC and the panny lens, is there a way to turn the IS on and off or does it just switch on automatically when recording, with no option to turn off? Keep uploading the videos. Cheers
Thanks! Unfortunately no option to turn on or off, it just switches on when you start recording. The stabilisation is great though and I don’t think I’ve ever seen any warping from it
If I wanna act in front my own camera, could it work with the OG to act and film myself without the need of a camera with continuous auto focus? what lens and what distance should I keep if I choose to film with the OG and act out monologues in front of it? please suggest! am new to this camera... have Gh3 but I like to test making short one person plays with the OG on my own, if even possible without anyone pulling focus for me?! what do you think? tanks for getting back
Lovely, and thanks for drawing attention to this gem. Exactly which model of LCD Viewfinder is that? I read the BMPCC has a 3.5" screen (mine is not here yet) and most of the viewfinders I am finding online from that brand say 3". I would love a similar setup.
Great Video! I love the look and feel of your filming. I also have this setup and I was wondering how you deal with the lens not retracting when you power off the camera. I have to do a “release trigger dance” each time. I have also been buying your power grades... I think they are amazing.
Thanks so much! My lens does actually close down when I power off the camera, it only stays extended if I turn the camera off whilst viewing a clip (which I rarely do in order to conserve battery life)
i have read on th bm blog that they corrected thate in late framewares of the camera.
That was great. The OG BMPCC feels like true S16mm.
Can't wait for your grading tutorial.
We need more creators like you, unafraid to create regardless of the gear. Getting back to the point of this craft, telling stories with what we have
Thanks so much for the comment 🙏🙏
i like the tarkovsky reference at the start. and everything else!
Really inspiring stuff and you make my hometown Streatham look much more beautiful than I see it usually! Appreciate your work
Thanks so much Rob! Also fair play spotting it was streatham!!
You capture your daily life in a insanely beautiful and simple way. You definitely inspire me to do the same! Great video Oliver :)
Thanks so much Rafaela! Really glad you liked it :)
So beautiful. I’ve been looking into picking one up again, the sensor truly has such a unique look.
Thank you very much! Yes such a brilliant camera, the image never ceases to amaze me! Pick one up again ;)

3:18 This shot is simply amazing. Hard to believe its shot on the og bmpcc.
Thanks!!!
Man I would kill to get my hands on one of these used ones
This was an amazing video mate! I enjoyed the creative aspect of your shots, narration and brevity. Bravo!
Great video!

so, were you able to use it as a real pocket camera or did the battery die in 10 mins?

Great video too, lots of actual camera footage, no obnoxious intro, just straight to the point!
Great video! I love this camera! I've been using mine since 2014 and never felt the need to upgrade. But i do treat it like a cinema camera and not a pocket camera
this camera looks soo friggin wonderful, that s16 sensor is something else

Thanks so much for the comment, really glad you enjoyed the video
This is the first gear video I've seen in years that's actually moved my needle. You've seriously made me rethink some of my preconceptions of not only this particular camera but of how equipment changes the way that we interface with what we're capturing.
Thanks so much Ethan!! :)
I need this. You've beautifully captured your daily life.
I thought this was a clip from the film "Cashback” when I heard the narration. Well done!
Thinking about picking up this cam just because of your vids. Can’t wait for the color grading workflow!
Really glad you liked the videos! Color grading tutorial coming soon :)
I’ve wanted the bmpcc ever since it came out and your videos convinced me to finally pull the trigger. Bought your power grade too. Excellent work. Cant wait to travel with this camera.
will soon get my BMPCC OG to dive into cinematography from film photography and i found your channel!
great colour grading!!
Thank you 🙏🙏🙏
This film is so delicate and calming. Thank you for such an artistic review.
Thanks so much!
I have two of these and I use them to film my cooking videos. I really do love these cameras.

really dope setup
Can't wait to see what content you shoot with this camera, something about the colors thats better than even the pocket 4k! Honestly debating on picking one up as a travel camera.
I’ve got to agree, definitely something special about the Colours, I can’t recommend it enough as a travel/carry around camera
Stunning. Could tell me where did you find the viewfinder? I found only one Wich is made for 3.2” screen. Would it fit also on the Bmpcc og? Thx and sry for my English
Your footage looks great. Looking forward to the grading video
Thanks very much Robert!!
Your vid looks so simple and beautiful! If it was the ad of BMPCC i will buy it
Thanks so much!
All I want to say is thank you for helping me to feel inspired to shoot again. Definitely will be getting this camera soon.
Thanks very much Mustafa! Glad you enjoyed it
Love that shots around Streatham! 😊
Amazing, very beautiful work!! 👍🏾
dude the sound out of ur phone sheeesh !! wow how? msn how? now i want this original bmpcc
Thanks so much!
Tank you for this video. I recently was given this camera. The screen is broken (it shows purple color on the screen) but I'm trying it out right now to see how the quality is. I hope they turn out as beautiful as your shots. I have two batteries, it def could use a third.
Well you’ve just convinced me with this beautiful footage and size to get one and move away from super 8. I’ve got some c mount lenses and ordered one with a loupe and external battery pack. Do I need anything else other than a pistol grip? VND or some other filter maybe? Also will definitely be picking up your orthochromatic powergrade looks fantastic and a great starting point for a beginner!
Hey Oliver, did you add any stabilization in post or are the shots purely handheld?
🔥🔥🔥 I been rocking the of bmpcc for about 7 years and it still holds up to all the clout from when it first came out. I have the 14-4mm and 25mm lumix lens.

Thanks very much! Focus pulling with the 14-42mm lens is pretty tough so I tend just to lock focus before shooting. If you’re looking to change focus whilst shooting I’d recommend getting a different lens (always liked the look of the 12-35mm f2.8
Hey nice work ! Thinking of buying this Lens but how do you set the Lens Exposure ?
Is the lens important achieve that vintage look? I heard someone recommend a helius lens to me. And did it need any more coloring to have that vintage sort of look or does it look like that straight out the camera?
Hey, the lens definitely helps, but the Color grading is also very important. For the clips in this video I used my own film powergrade, link in the description of you wanted to get it for yourself :)
Loved this video mate, really inspiring.
Thanks so much!! Really appreciate it
Beautiful video friend.. I have this camera with an Olympus lens, but I see that I do not extract the best quality from the camera with this lens.. What other lens do you recommend, so that I can extract the maximum quality from the camera? Sigma? Lumix? or another?
Cool footage. I wondered using the BMPCC and the panny lens, is there a way to turn the IS on and off or does it just switch on automatically when recording, with no option to turn off? Keep uploading the videos. Cheers
Thanks! Unfortunately no option to turn on or off, it just switches on when you start recording. The stabilisation is great though and I don’t think I’ve ever seen any warping from it
@@oliverkeyscine I guess the double whammy of that and stabilisation in post does the trick. thanks for the insight
I have the OG as well
But yeah may more rigged out.
But now I’m thinking about stripping it down, thank you for that
perfect cam for car rigs, way better than Gopro!
What lens was used for filming the older gentleman? Or was it still the LUMIX 14-42?
Well done 👏
If I wanna act in front my own camera, could it work with the OG to act and film myself without the need of a camera with continuous auto focus? what lens and what distance should I keep if I choose to film with the OG and act out monologues in front of it?
please suggest!
am new to this camera...
have Gh3 but I like to test making short one person plays with the OG on my own, if even possible without anyone pulling focus for me?!
what do you think? tanks for getting back
I just bought mine online today. Cant wait to shoot some stuff with it
Enjoy!!
What's the latest firmware for the OG BMPCC? How can you tell which firmware the camera is running?
Hi Oliver, I was given this camera as a gift, can you help me find the right lenses that fit this camera? Thanks a lot!
The grading is unreal ✅ instant subscribed
Thanks so much for the kind words!
Lovely, and thanks for drawing attention to this gem. Exactly which model of LCD Viewfinder is that? I read the BMPCC has a 3.5" screen (mine is not here yet) and most of the viewfinders I am finding online from that brand say 3". I would love a similar setup.
Thanks Jon! It’s the Kinotehnik BMPCC OG
