[@saradietschy]

loveeeee the color in this

[@jacintosalz]

+Sara Dietschy Wow fancy seeing you here! I didn't even know about this camera until you recommended it!

[@ricky186sd123lol]

+Miniature Barbarian same..

[@juliansoljordan]

I literally just searched up black magic and was thinking of you!

[@matteobertoli]

Ops, sorry for the late reply. Weird I didn't see the comment before! Thank you :)

[@CMAVideo]

What LUT did you use - thank you in advance

[@bradconfer7065]

You know these day's we're all pixels pixels pixels sharp sharp sharp but when you see shots like these we're reminded no, not sharpness, not contrast...color. Well, that's easy to say being as how the sharpness is also spot on.

[@jassonsw]

What a little powerhouse of a camera this still is. Easily good enough for a feature film.

[@allamahahaha]

This is beautiful man seriously that plane in the sky shot took my breath away

[@chardonwaite]

Still a special camera this one, and it definitely shows how bit depth matters. Nice work, I might have to try and find one.

[@WardogMac]

I'm still amazed with how retro this looks. It puts a smile on my face.

[@kyleweiss9560]

WOW. I'm blown away by the quality of this footage, I had no idea Blackmagic made such an affordable camera which provided such quality results

[@The_Guth]

I still come back to this video! i love it

[@MiniGunas]

Love the quality of the footage, the atmosphere, colors.. nice job, great camera.

[@traindude1949]

Matteo, these are inspirational for amateurs like myself who enjoy photography using todays iPhones etc , especially on holidays without carrying around tons of equipment

[@matteobertoli]

Thanks, really appreciate!

[@ilMonta66]

Penso di averti conosciuto con questo filmato e devo dire che a distanza di anni continua ad essere attuale e memorabile! Grande Matteo!!!

[@edmundoar123]

I loved the shot of the five guys and the fact it was filmed from outside the restaurant. Its almost like you are peeking in on the small intimate moments of life. Great video man!

[@matteobertoli]

Edmundo Rubio i was actually inside, downstairs :) thanks!!

[@matteobertoli]

I'm sorry if you feel the footage a little bit shaky. Again, I was on holidays and I was traveling very light. I could not bring a tripod with me :) cheers

[@grace_hayin]

+Matteo Bertoli Filmmaker - Could the Warp stabilizer fix the "shaky" problem? I have a stabilizer for my DSLR camera but the BPCC is too light for that stabilizer so it kinda "swing" a little bit if I use that. So I am debating if I should just handheld the BPCC and fix the shaky problem with Premiere or I should use the stabilizer and let it "swing" (but it's hard to control). Do you have any suggestions? Thanks! BTW, I really LOVE the color of your video!!

[@Mafr0]

+Matteo Bertoli Filmmaker A little handheld movement only adds to the BMPCC aesthetic. Don't ever stabilize it out in post! This video is lovely

[@pranavan5803]

its ok but you could just edited. camera shake in softwares.its easy to remove those shakes. if you did that this footage will be more cinematic grade..

[@Mafr0]

A little bit of natural shake is way better than stabilized jello shots. You can't get away from this with rolling shutter cameras like the BMPCC, stabilizers will remove shake but they really highlight this issue at the same time

[@DerDaxter]

Maybe a slight warp stabalizer would have helped. :) Amazing video!

[@jamesmathews243]

I just keep going back to your Legacy BMPCC stuff. Just too good.

[@8lec_R]

Visited England for the first time in 2018, I was 18 then. It was magical, I had an amazing time there

[@comafilters]

I love this. Its clearly a Vacation Home Movie, but it draws you in as its not just "Phone Camera" Rubbish. Lovely Editing and Colour Grading.

[@Aaron_Smith_OM]

Damn. This camera still looks amazing. 4K is great and all but this is just a testament to true talent and vision! Really good images!

[@droffelcash]

I love shots like 0:17... They always make me think of that one scene in Superman when he takes off and goes supersonic. Looks magical

[@matteobertoli]

Thanks!

[@FlushStudios]

Wow! This footage is absolutely stunning. I can't believe how awesome the BMPCC's footage looks. Great job.

[@aarones4378]

Still amazing even in 2018. But, year doesn't matter. Amazing is timeless. But the shot at the beginning with the clouds and I think it was maybe a plane soaring through? My God... beautiful. Subbing. You're a talented filmmaker.

[@itsjustsamslife]

Sooo cool! Love how you showed both daytime examples and night time examples👌🏼 such a good camera! Very cool film 🙌🏼

[@jean-michelcharrier5855]

Great job I use myself this camera for vocational training . Very good camera

[@NatesFilmTutorials]

Color is Fantastic!!

[@nandugh2]

Amazing!!! And I thought it had been made raw until I looked at the description... Congratulations !! Your video helped me decide on a blackmagic

[@hoqmollim]

I've never been to London. However, this showed me the beautiful scenery of London has. Thank you so much. :)

[@chadsway88]

Color grading looks great, and the night shots came out clean, great work.

[@ivanattollino4988]

Color e inquadrature stupende. Molte le avrei lasciate fisse ma posso capire che in viaggio e per strada non avresti potuto piazzare cavalletti. Bravo.

[@yoghi1717]

notevole matteo sei bravissmo... complimenti

[@mnknoplanb]

Daaamn,that's some next level color grading..

[@riccardotonin1732]

color grading is PERFECT!!!! GOOD JOB MAN!!!

[@mountainpandabear]

I don't know if you will see that Matteo but I wanted to say thank you, I've been a londoner for a year and your video brings back so much memories to me. But better than the memories, it brings back kind of a mood I couldn't find in any other video. Really, I was looking for some sample footage of the bmpcc some time ago, and I just landed on the channel of the great filmmaker that you are. I hope you're living out of it (if that's what you want) because you deserve it. :)

[@matteobertoli]

PedCampeones thanks man!!!

[@betweenframesproduction3968]

This shot at 0:17 blew me away....!

[@patrickcorr1404]

This is incredible - and I love the shakiness, it makes it so much more personal and intimate. Thanks for sharing +Matteo Bertoli Filmmaker :)

[@matteobertoli]

Thank you!

[@PeterHXII]

This is one of the best bmpcc footage vids I've seen great job and great coloring

[@matteobertoli]

Thanks Peter

[@FilmSpook]

👍 I agree with Sara, the color in this is fantastic! Great Footage, Matteo!! The OG BMPCC is forever awesome!! Cheers :)

[@LE672AJ]

Great footage. And I love that Camden Market. The food there is so good.

[@ryuchaehwa5571]

very great shot. it helps me a lot to find the final output from BPCC. thanks :)

[@Planetrefactor]

Lovely work, great colors.

[@matteobertoli]

UPDATE: Thank you guys! I've been very busy lately and I was able to see some comments just now. Really appreciate. I think all the technical aspects are listed in the description, so if you expand that you will find all the information that you need. Again, this video was shot while I was on vacation in London. I didn't use any rig. I simply put the camera on my super 8mm camera handle and that's it. I didn't use any external monitor, or cages or nothing. Camera, metabones, sigma 18-35 and the handle. Again, thank you very much for all your comments and support. I just moved to Salt Lake City now and I am planning to shoot a Cinematic Salt Lake City video :) Stay tuned!

[@Automotivesp]

kinda heavy for having arround on a vacation no??

[@dmomedia]

Love the grading man, absolutely stunning.

[@JANKOLLPLAYZFX]

Matteo Bertoli Filmmaker Great Video!

[@moonpule]

you should check out Luuv, it's a pretty lightweight hand held stabiliser. its really neat.

[@amalworld7472]

Matteo Bertoli Visuals ,

[@brianjackson9557]

I'd like to learn about videography and am considering the Black Magic pocket camera. Great video!!

[@davypelletier]

It’s amazing these black magic cameras. I prefer even this original over many of the higher end more expensive rigs that everyone gushes over. I’m rocking the 6k. And I have zero reasons for upgrading to anything else…

[@just.migueel]

Really Cool! Great work Matteo!

[@joeaddison]

Simply stunning!

[@lucafrancinimusic]

Colori spettacolari e belle inquadrature, ottimo video!

[@matteobertoli]

lucafrancinimusic grazie!

[@prakashjan15]

Really nice work, very beautyful !!

[@brudinie]

Beautiful footage - I don't need one but I want one of these cameras now!

[@t4t213]

This is still brilliant in 2022!! Please can you tell me what aspect ratio and resolution did you upload this to KZbin?? I love the way it fills the whole screen, without having to zoom to fill. I’m going to buy one of these now!! I just checked $300 on eBay unbelievable!!

[@MikeyFraz1]

Fantastic job grading this!

[@itsjantore]

Looks fantastic

[@zaxlaxen]

this so good image. I never comment on anything really on youtube. But I like this video so much it reminds me of something but I dont know what it is. the grading feels like its from 70s really like that

[@TheHidben]

amazing color grading

[@FotodioxInc]

Beautiful work!

[@JustlifeTomSandraYordi]

Even in 2018 this looks fantastisch and i think a great camera to buy

[@chadduncan9716]

This is GREAT!!! I've been eyeing a BMPCC for a while now. They seem to go for a REALLY good price. Thank you for uploading this as its pushing me more towards getting one

[@alialiyev6510]

I am in love with this camera. Hope one day will own it. Great video btw

[@phasephoto3265]

Fab video thanks for sharing and like your grading really nice.

[@HaoTrieu97]

I love this so much!!

[@ArtsicOfficial]

i hate cloudy days.... but great camera!

[@8lec_R]

Flippin heck man! If I had this camera I'd somehow still botch up the focus. That being said, great footage and I'm quite impressed with the DOF. Too bad this was out of my budget last year when I was buying a camera. I'm super jealous now lol

[@cremacrema7767]

Awesome! Love the colors

[@siehtnichts5684]

Perfect shots!

[@frederikhonore4374]

Woow i really enjoyed this video. very nice work.

[@matteobertoli]

Thanks!

[@iFOUNDSIV]

Black magic is undefeated

[@kurai-d3712]

amazing!!!!! one more (video)reason for buying this cam!

[@amalworld7472]

Александр Лапин

[@kurai-d3712]

???

[@sxzuya4835]

this is beautiful work

[@bananasandbass]

The color and sharpness is really amazing from this little cam. Cinema quality stuff. The footage is a bit shaky at times, which kindo breaks the cinema feeling of it. I've watched some of your other work, the wooden bootle ad is really good with the dolly shots etc, super good feeling and professional look :)

[@kaihocompany]

+Bananas and Bass It kinda depends on the occasion doesn't it? Shaky camera work is being used a lot in cinema, during war scenes, car chases, when the main character is in distress,... So I wouldn't say shaky camera work breaks the cinematic feeling, but it's all subjective anyway.

[@bananasandbass]

Brandon Lagaert Yes that's true. But there's different kinds of shake. There's more grand gesture shakes, and more smaller vibration-like shakes. The size of a camera and maybe rig has a lot to do with how a handheld shot will look eventually. If you put a mid-size or large video/cine camera in your hands and walk around. It will move around the frame a bit, like shake, but not vibrate. If you hold an iPhone or M4/3 camera in your hand wihtout IS, it will micro shake/jitter/vibrate differently. I'm just clarifying that I'm not talking about handheld vs tripod/dolly. But rather vibrations. Since most cinema handheld is still stabilised by at least a shoulder rig. Which will move, but just dampen vibrations, and just allow for more natural shakes that don't distract much and can actually add to indeed action shots etc.

[@Nora-vt6cq]

The color grading reminds me of the Secret Life of Walter Mitty... nice

[@mationplays1500]

Beautiful Video!

[@vjunicorndreams]

Fantastic!

[@-boiadeiro-]

great color grading

[@ValVolfson]

Really enjoyed this video. Thanks!

[@7Lifeline]

Hey Matteo, I know this is an older clip of the black magic pocket, but is there any way to get the new pocket 6k to look like this. I've yet to see it. This original pocket had the most organic film look I've seen on any of their line.

[@arsh0603]

Wow this is so cinematic! 3:00

[@GoodTravelChannel]

Beautiful. Ilike it

[@imictfh]

love it !!

[@SofeenaYates]

great video! Inspired us to make our own london video we uploaded today! Our own spin on it of course

[@supahx1421]

I love watching in 360p...

[@aldown]

looks beautiful

[@ITzToxicZSniping]

I love the color grading. maybe some warp stabilizer (or a tripod) o some shots would make it even cooler but I guess in that way is more original. Love it dude. Keep up the good work.

[@matteobertoli]

Thanks man!

[@iMarlonGreen]

Very nice work.

[@radiocivil658]

Epic color

[@9thSeptember]

beautiful

[@AlexCio]

Great footage! Love it!

[@bradpenoyer2177]

Would you ever consider showing your color grading process to achieve this look? And what lens was used? Do you find the cropping to be problematic with this camera?

[@matteobertoli]

My latest video is online! I used a sigma 18 35 f 1.8 with metabones speedbooster that means 1.60 crop factor. Pretty decent.

[@v1per187]

Great video!

[@mlrdmn]

it looks amazing!!

[@PiotrTester]

good shoots

[@goncalonorberto5593]

Very nice mate, in some shots it would be better with a tripod, other than that, amazing grading and shots.

[@tokethYT]

true. but I actually kinda liked the hand hold look, makes it feel more real and immersive sometimes.

[@chrissalmassy6956]

I enjoy the footage shot, but I don't care for the color - a teal/orange combo, while very Hollywood, looks tired in general, so in my opinion, I would love to see what the footage would look like with a more "natural" color scheme.

[@martyspandex]

Could not disagree more. This footage is not overly orange and teal a la Michael Bay, either. I love the colour science with this particular camera. It's the nearest to an alexa without being an alexa you can get.

[@talibsiddique8640]

Chris Salmassy the

[@wojtekkrolikowski3375]

great shots :D really nice done

[@lancejlucas]

Great work!

[@KalleTheodor]

Thank you for sharing! I am using exactly the same combination of BMPCC, NIKON SB and SIGMA. But I have received my BMPCC just yesterday. Anyway, I think the SIGMA is anything but "very light". ;-) Because of that, I think you did a really really nice job! I love the footage, even if the grading is a bit(!) too blueish for me. How did you achieve the wider format? In cropping the footage and stretching it? That's awesome! :-)

[@matteobertoli]

+Mark Krause Thanks! I simply shot in 2.35 in camera ... So black bars.. that's it ;)

[@sierralauts3596]

lovely

[@halationmedia]

I wanna buy the Blackmagic Cinema Camera 2.5K but after watching this I don´t think it´s worth the money and the less user-friendli user-friendliness. Great video

[@FIRUFILMS]

Hello nice shot!; you graded in Davinci or Premiere?, Prores HQ or Prores 422 HQ? thanks!

[@spamsfilms]

I love the vibe, and this weirdly features so many locations I’ve loved for the last 4 years of living in London! Shame about all the micro jitter the pocket 4K and sigma 18-35 has, I found this out the hard way too, using it on a c100 and realising how shaky all my footage was, you think you’ll get some form of cage with handles or something else to try and reduce the shake you’re getting?

[@rubenpoma5512]

beautiful, beautiful, beautiful job!! Could you tell me if the Lumix 12-35 2.8 (MFT) in good complement to BMPCC. THANK YOU

[@matteobertoli]

Thanks! No idea never tried

[@Johnson82ish]

Matteo, I'm puzzled by how you manage to make your videos stay this sharp on youtube? It seems to me that there is a lot of variation in sharpness in these kind of videos, eventhough they are shot on same camera and same lenses etc. - Is there a codec that you export in, that retains the sharpness this good, or what's the secret? THANKS!

[@matteobertoli]

Johnson82ish hey! No secret, i just export a prores lt or h264, nothing crazy

[@themajesticbeard1497]

this looks great. seriously considering getting one with a speed booster for my Nikon glass

[@-allwrittenfulfilled-]

nice shots :D
