Thanks for watching! I could potentially do that. Admittedly I'm a pretty basic editor but could do a bit of an overview!

Thanks so much mate! And thank you for capturing all of this wonderful BTS content! 🙏

Thanks heaps mate! Appreciate the kind words and absolutely, indie filmmaking is great!

Thanks so much, I really appreciate your kind words and support heaps!! We are well overdue for a catch up and will have to tee something up this year for sure. Thanks again for your continued support and friendship mate!

Thanks so much! 🙏

The damn onions!

Thank you so much mate, really appreciate the kind words and feedback. Stoked to hear it had an impact! Appreciate you.

Thanks so much for the kind words and feedback! Really appreciate it and stoked to hear it had you hooked and emotionally invested!

🤝🤝🤝🤝

Well technically, yeah! Feel free to check it out: www.hollywoodindependentfilmmakerawards.com/2024-winners I've just been very slack at posting on here so I don't get as many views.

Thanks so much!! Appreciate your kind words and feedback 🙏

Hi mate, this was essentially just on a tripod in the back row of seats with a strap to each door.

@@ashley.caldwelldp thanks alot . Im about to but this lens for my bmpcc 4k and ive been wondering how could i pull a shot like this off for the longest

Hi mate, this was with the 0.71x. It's the way to go!

@@DjCaldwelI cool, i have 0.64x version, im gonna buy that lens. So i can expect more wide with that :) thanks for sharing this bro.

@G1 Portfolio No worries at all mate. Sounds like a plan. Just as a heads up, it may be worth not buying too much new equipment until NAB which is only a couple of weeks away now 💪

Akpe ododoru hi there, yeah I had the same issue. I ended up buying a suitable cable from my local electronics store - Jaycar. If you have one it might be easiest to go in and get it locally that way you’ll know you’ve got the right one before purchasing.

@@ashley.caldwelldp Thanks for the reply dude...i just ordered the "D-TAP to DC Power Cable" which should arrive tomorrow

Hey mate, I probably use the matte box for about half my shoots at the moment but pretty much always put it on for when I’m travelling between shoots to protect the lens a bit. As for the filters, it is handy to just drop the trays in rather than screwing and unscrewing filters. The setup you’ve suggested does sound like a really good solution though so I’d suggest going for it. The matte box is handy for in transit and for shaping the flares that you do want and blocking the flares that you don’t want.

@@ashley.caldwelldp Awesome thank you. just in case, can you recommend some budget drop in filters as well? Also, what is your solution to block flares when you shoot handheld/without the matte box? I mainly encounter flaring problems when I shoot with my vintage lense set (minolta) lenses, which loose too much contrast and sharpness when pointed the wrong way. got my sub. I also own the elmo II and single focus solution, so I feel our rigs can be quite similar

@@ashley.caldwelldp just received the mattebox. How often do you use the additional trays to block the light? :)

seifenhase dreizehn Awesome! I actually ended up buying two extra trays and I have three filters all up so one tray is always left blank and the other three trays have each of the filters in them permanently. That way I don’t have to handle the glass out of the trays and I have the blank for when I just want to use a single filter so there aren’t any light leaks from an empty tray slot. I mostly just use a single tray filter at a time because otherwise it can create some strange ghosting. But any time I’m outdoors that isn’t night time, I use at least one.

Story T. Sorry mate it looks like I didn’t reply to your question about the filters! I use the Formatt Hitec 4x4 IRND filters. I forget which strengths but I ended up getting three at varying levels from quite minimal to quite strong. Hope that helps! By the way I’m absolutely loving my anamorphic scope now with the single focus solution and the golden flares from the Kowa 16-H are a real treat.

nagrooven Hey, thanks so much! I’ve been considering making a video of how to get this shot. But I basically used a solid tripod and strapped it in a cross braced pattern to the front seat rails and it worked out pretty well.

Caldwell Media Yeah you should do, I'd like to see how you did it as well.

Brovchenko yeah admittedly for this video it was just the aspect produced. I filmed a video for an athletic sports development business the other day and used the adapter again, ended up with some nice distortions and anamorphic flares. When the project is finished I’ll post it up. Looks a lot more promising than this one did 😅

r3nlot Thanks so much!

Memo Webber I used an early EF-M43 T speedbooster 0.71

Hi there! Thanks heaps for the feedback. The rails used on the base plate (silver ones) are 30cm long. The rails connected to VCT14 plate are 20cm long. Hope this helps tag me in a photo of your setup on instagram or here if you get a chance, looking forward to seeing it.

Thank will do brother

Thanks mate. Had a bit more experience with it over the last fortnight. Should get a chance this weekend to put something together the video and post it!

I have been so slack organizing this but have been busy shooting. I'll put a video together this weekend and get some BTS with it on a shoot on Sunday.

Most of these shots were actually on Rokinon Cine primes. Either the 14mm or 35mm. Thanks so much for the nice feedback!

Creative 7 Inc Thanks heaps! Jezzine Barracks in Townsville North Qld 🙂

Yeah, not overly happy with how soft everything is and the overly saturated blue flares. Thought i might be able to get around it in post with having plenty of dynamic range but with a harsh light source it's inevitable.

Thanks heaps man 😎🙌🏼

Thanks so much for the kind feedback. Appreciate it a lot.

This is only one of the lenses that I use with this camera. I’ve got three different speed boosters that I use for mounting my other glass. I would have to respectfully disagree to a large extent though. The Olympus 12-100 is a beast of a lens and has an amazing focal range. The other benefit is that in some cases it’s handy to take advantage of the Bluetooth remote control of the camera via the app. As with anything though it depends on what use it has and personal preferences.

Caldwell Films I understand but how does native glass impact the Bluetooth benefits with the app? Do you mean focus? I have no issues with focus using the metabones speedbooster although I rarely use it. I’m too used to manual focus anyway.

@@TheFilmmakingChannel Yeah I've not been impressed with the focus via either metabones or viltrox adapters (which didn't work at all). I very rarely use autofocus as well but in some applications with lesser crews or if you're trying to operate remotely, the single AF function via bluetooth on the olympus lens has been handy. That's the beauty of videography and film, there are almost endless styles, preferences, fields, uses and applications for each.

There are many advantages to using native lenses. First and foremost, you get a lens ostensibly designed for the sensor. Secondly, with the 12-100mm, you get very good image stabilisation. All these lenses will work without having issues with speedbooster firmware/compatibility issues. I use the old 4/3 lenses with my rig and the likes of my 14-35mm f2 lens or 35-100mm f2 can't be beat; these two are some of the best lenses that you can get.

Australian Image This is very true. I really wish I had a few more micro four thirds lenses but I’ve also got the Ursa so am always torn between buying more ef lenses that are compatible with both cameras or having more lenses specifically for the pocket 4K and my micro cinema camera. Either way the 12-100 does provide some very nice images, a great focal range and great stabilisation.

Thanks mate!

Thanks heaps mate. The long rails are really handy and that handle is adjustable forward and backwards as well as left to right so its really easy to get a nice balance for hand held shots. For the shoulder rig the weight of the shoulder plate and handles balances it out nicely with the big battery on the back so it's really comfortable. What sort of rig do you mostly use?

Thanks heaps mate! I was going through your instagram, and that monitor mount looks like a great addition to the rig. Appreciate the good feedback and glad you enjoyed it.

gerardo bello Thanks for the kind words, appreciate it a lot.

Callan Lund Nice one mate. Yeah it’s really nice out there after the rain we head earlier this year, made a huge difference. So nice on sunset 👌🏽

Kan Zzer From memory this was the same lens setup but the 35mm version.

Kan Zzer 11 seconds was a rokinon 14mm cine lens and metabones speedbooster.

I'm a big fan of this lens. The focal range is incredible. The stabilization is pretty reasonable but I wouldn't say that it is anything exceptional. The only kicker with this lens is that it only goes to f4 which for outdoor daylight shooting or well lit indoor environments it is fine, but for anything outside of that I would recommend a native lens that goes to at least f2.8 like the mid-wides from panasonic or olympus.

Sorry for the late reply! I didn't in these shots but it was really dark. I'll try out in brighter conditions and see if I can notice any :)

Thanks mate! :) I've actually got about half an hour of the one take. Maybe I should just for interests sake. Appreciate the nice feedback!

Thanks Daniel. It was 4k DCI, 24p, 172 degree shutter (to avoid the artificial light flicker) and i think i was at about T2.3 and ISO1250

Andrew Henderson Thanks mate! You will love it, definitely worth the wait. Yeah i started out with SD cards but before the firmware update the sd cards struggled with the data. Now I primarily run the T5 and even edit the rough cuts from the drive externally.

Thanks so much!

Daniel Johnson Thanks so much man, appreciate it

Aria X yeah definitely. It’s pretty hard to tell whether it’s more the lens or the adapter. But I’ll be trying a native lens soon. The rokinons have been known to be a bit soft. Keen to try an Olympus 12-100

JS_filming 😂 It really is! I don’t think I’ll shoot at 12:1 too much but it was good to see that it’s still usable 🎥

Daniel Fortnite Thanks Daniel 🙂

Callan Lund Thanks heaps mate!

Solicle it’s still there! The last few shots were from further upstream 🙂
