Here is a collection of moments from my trip to New York City. Shot on the BMCC6K. Cinematography Breakdown : th-cam.com/video/NKxF4mzwu5c/w-d-xo.htmlsi=JFKYJ2z2ihP-BbOb Black & White edit: th-cam.com/video/B9rnSyiOkMY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=tfZcsaKbK5x_TwwI Cheers, Flo
I've been to New York City once, enduring city. Right around the midpoint of the pandemic. I captured my brief moment in that city using my BMPCC 4K. I'm amazed by this full frames image quality and of course, your cinematography. Please keep our eyes hungry for more.
This made me yearn for the times before social media and iPhone footage took the world’s attention away. This is how video making was meant to be. I loved this.
Truly amazing! I love when the shots of the coin-operated telescopes come up. There is something mesmerizingly self-reflective about those shots that makes me rewatch your film again and again!
There are no words to describe this video. It is so beautiful I couldn't stop watching it. I live a few blocks away from where most of the footage was taken and it took my breath away. Thanks for reminding me what a great decision I took 6 years ago when I moved here.
Beautiful images of my beloved city.. home. NY. I love that you didn't go crazy doing super transitions and effects... you let us digest the beauty. it is actually your style, which I appreciate very much. Most creators (at lest in the realm of social media of course...), are so desperate to put so much craziness with effects, and non sense that the subject per se gets lost in the "noise" of it all. Watching always your work I believe this is you signature style. I love it. Great work mate!
Thanks so much for the kind words and positive feedback, I love when people notice the difference as it was my goal and I always try to stick to my style :).
I usually don't watch videos like this because they look boring, but here are straight up very cinematic shots, most of them could be great as openers for any Hollywood movie.
Great job, Florent! Stunning photography and beautiful images! As we can see, there are some very difficult shots here, in therms of dynamic range. Love your color grade too: reminded me the classic Arri look.
Stunning and gorgeous, as always. I made many trips to the city, and shot a lot of photography there (on film). Your videos are a revelation to these old eyes. Thanks, Florent.
You could literally screenshot any frame of this video and make it a photo album. So nice and actual! The final work really feels like a faithful testimony of how looks the big apple today. One of my favorite cities as well, so busy but so relaxing in the same time. Congrats Bro! 😘
So calming and peaceful! Man you really know how to get great compositions with the Blackmagic system going handheld because I swear there's a lot that feels locked down on sticks. That's just a testament to how well you can operate, and I loved the quiet pace of this video!
YESSS I've been waiting for this since you told me you were going to NYC!!! Edit: just finished. As a New Yorker, it's amazing how you've made NYC seem calm and still. Like you've almost managed to strip the hectic, loud, and craziness of New York and just let us appreciate the beauty of the city. The video is like a reminder for me to slow down and appreciate my environment -- to not get too caught up with making the next meeting or meetup. And as always, masterfully shot and edited. I'm going to have to watch this at least a handful more time today. Thank you!
Once again you're too kind mate, it means a lot from someone living there so thank you! I love this city so much and I am glad I was able to capture it that way :) Hope you're well!
Love these type of moving picture edits and your work here is beautiful as always Flo! I need a little project outside of weddings once I've caught up with the backlog of last year edits, think I might give this a try in my hometown or maybe over a weekend in London! Happy new year and hope you have a good one!
Man this was very meditative to watch. So peaceful and quiet and beutifully shot! Good job sir! I love the image that comes out of this camera, it amazes me everytime. Very nice edit and music choice, such a contrast of the busy city, loved it.
These shots are soo amazing. I am especially stunned at your color grading. Love the look. Do you have luts for sale ? If so I would really want to purchase them.
This is beautifully shot and the edit is very tasteful and well executed! My girlfriend and I were in NYC the 2nd week of November and it was just a magical time, it looks like this footage may have been captured around that time because that is what it looked like there.
Finally a video showcasing what this camera can do. I‘m looking into getting the pyxis so same sensor different box. This looks great and completely reassured me the quality is really great for the price!
Bravo Florian, ta vidéo est encore une fois sublime :) j'avais en effet encore en tête ta vidéo réalisée avec la bmpcc OG qui était déjà un régal, cette update est vraiment réussie !
stunning mate! I've never been there but this made me feel like I was there, more so than many other videos of NY I've seen. I think you're subtle and nuanced approach to composition creates that sense of just being there and witnessing things as they unfold in those quiet moments amongst hustle and bustle. All handheld? Some shots look like tripod - zero movement...
Noticed a bit of moiré during the tilt up at 1:08. On the building just to the right of the empire state. How often do you see this when shooting with the BMCC6k?
I never noticed a problem before and I think it is a combination of the buildings, grading and youtube compression. The footage on my iPhone was a lot worse in the same spots for example.
@@OfTwoLands Gotcha. Yeah it very well could be the youtube compression. I should have also mentioned in my comment that this footage looks fantastic! Really love the color, composition as well as the moments that you captured. As a New Yorker, you really captured the essence. Idk if you live locally but I can feel a familiarity in the footage. Which is a feat for a local, let alone a visitor. Well done!
@@OfTwoLandsjust picked one up because of the sale. I’m a big fan of Blackmagic gear. And a big fan of the 6KFF. All I want to do is come close to the genius you have revealed in these shots!
Very rarely does a video longer than two minutes of the same kind of thing keep me intrigued and watching but I sat through the whole video and loved each frame and movement of the camera. You have a true art and it's unreal. I may be in contact over the next year if you'd be interested as I also have a BMPCC6K!
Incredible footage!! Subscribed! The composition, the coloring, the editing, everything was phenomenal. Thank you very much for sharing! How did you manage to get so stable footage, were you using a monopod?
Thanks so much for the kind words, really means a lot!! Handheld and stabilised in post, no monopod or tripod or anything. I will discuss this in the breakdown video :)
@@OfTwoLands thank you for the links in your description. I have the 6kFF since dezember with the 6artisan full frame lenses. And wasn't sure about adapter and co. Now I have something to do more Research for the time I buy some extra stuff. Weather/winter in germany is ugly and I'm worried about the weather resistence of the cam. That's why I don't have so much test footage 🙈
@OfTwoLands Very nice! Colors are spot on! I loved many of your compositions and also the pace of this piece! The image is quite organic! I just noticed some aliasing/moire tho!
Thanks a lot for the positive feedback!! And yes buildings like these are always tricky and youtube's compression sure doesn't help haha! I got videos on my phone of the exact same spots and it's worse.

You shoot beautiful images no matter what camera you use. Glad you kept the camera still and found the autumnal color. These are lovely shots.

Been there in summer of ‘98. Was the first time for me visiting a city with the aroma of pee in the streets.
Thank you!! @@richardweddle3408

I hope in 500 years people can look back on this video to see how life was in NY. Beautifully shot!
I love this comment, thanks mate!!
I don't think I've seen a better video compilation of NYC. Absolutely Beautiful!
@@vihaanverma11 Thanks so much for the kind words 🙏
Pure craftsmanship. The camera is merely an actor within this piece of art.
Thank you!!
This made me yearn for the times before social media and iPhone footage took the world’s attention away. This is how video making was meant to be. I loved this.
Thank you for your comment, really appreciate it 🙏
The video is pure teature in today's fast-pace life. The busy NYC seems slow down with your peace mind and magic hand, Flo. Bravo!
Thanks so much guys, really glad you enjoyed it :) !!
God, man, this is beautiful.
Thank you!!
This brought me to tears. What a beautiful place.
One you will soon discover I hope! Thanks for watching baby :)
Truly amazing! I love when the shots of the coin-operated telescopes come up. There is something mesmerizingly self-reflective about those shots that makes me rewatch your film again and again!

This video takes me to a state of peacefulness . The framing and the editing , the sound design, all are so much soothing ❤

oooh boy, took me back to my hometown, i can feel NY on a sunday walk, i miss it so much, thank you for taking me back with these awsome shots.
Thank You for taking the time to watch it :)

Beautiful. Divine almost. Inspiring too. Shows how much beauty one can find if one would simply look.
Thanks so much for the kind words!!
Your video is magical.
Thank you!!
Nicely done! Portraying one of the busiest and congested cities in a warm and relaxing way, emphasizing the serenity found in the urban jungle.
Glad you enjoyed it, thank you!!
These type of images are what makes me fall in love with the looks this camera can create
Thank you ☺️🙏
Man I love nyc and your videos, beautiful!
Thank you ☺️🙏
Great job, Florent! Stunning photography and beautiful images! As we can see, there are some very difficult shots here, in therms of dynamic range. Love your color grade too: reminded me the classic Arri look.
Thanks for the nice feedback 🙏☺️
mate the detail in the upper windows etc on the larger shots are insane, GG
Yeah it’s pretty crazy!
Stunning!! The shots, the grade, everything.
Thanks so much!!
Stunning and gorgeous, as always. I made many trips to the city, and shot a lot of photography there (on film). Your videos are a revelation to these old eyes. Thanks, Florent.
Thanks a lot for the kind words!!
The quality of this is just beyond. The editing, the sound design, the grading, composition and atmosphere are out of this world. Love it :)
Thanks so much mate 🙏
Lovely work as always! Thank you for sharing these moments.
Thanks so much!!
“All shot handheld” LIKE WHAT?? Amazing shots!
Haha, yes! Stabilised in post :)
Really love this aspect ratio! It really feels big and tall like the buildings and there is so much detail! love it!
Thanks darling 😘 big fan of that aspect too especially for cities like this 🤩 xx
You could literally screenshot any frame of this video and make it a photo album. So nice and actual! The final work really feels like a faithful testimony of how looks the big apple today. One of my favorite cities as well, so busy but so relaxing in the same time. Congrats Bro! 😘
Thanks so much for the kind words brO! I hope we get to go together one day ☺️👊
the open gate 3:2 aspect ratio provides some really nice flexibility for scenes with more verticality. great work!
Very good use of the aspect ratio! The high buildings certainly helped I imagine
Totally, was the perfect aspect and cam for this trip ☺️
So calming and peaceful! Man you really know how to get great compositions with the Blackmagic system going handheld because I swear there's a lot that feels locked down on sticks. That's just a testament to how well you can operate, and I loved the quiet pace of this video!
Thank you!! I was trying my best to be stable and I did stabilise a lot of shots in FCPX too :)
Extremely well done and great choice of music!
Glad you enjoyed it, thank you!!

Simply stunning. Now just imagine if this camera had built in ND's it would be truly incredible.
Thanks a lot!! Internal NDs would be great for sure especially for travel and outdoor work :)
Great work my friend! The grading looks amazing too, lots of latitude
Thanks a lot mate!!
Amazing shots love your work
Thanks!!
Beautiful work. Not for the algorithm, but for the soul.
Thank you ☺️🙏
These shots are soo amazing. I am especially stunned at your color grading. Love the look. Do you have luts for sale ? If so I would really want to purchase them.
Thanks so much!! I graded using Filmconvert. Feel free to check out the link for a 10% discount. I used the KD5207 stock as a base :)
@@OfTwoLands awesome will definitely check it out

Hello Florent, I lived in New York for 26 years before moving to Japan. I never remember it looking so beautiful Very nice.

Im came back to tell you this is awesome, mine is arriving this week... thrilled
Thanks and congrats ☺️👏
Il y a des compositions qui sont vraiment pépites 🔥👏 C'est fou comme cette ville c'est un monde à part entière !!
