Did you stabilize the shots using the gyro data? If so, did you change the shutter angle?

[@matteobertoli]

@@leebrandt8597 absolutely not. I will never change shutter angle so I can stabilize the footage. That sounds like a very bad idea. I occasionally use regular stabilization.

As a newbie, transitioning from software engineering to filmmaking and cinematography, your videos are damn inspiring. Thanks Matteo!

Love the simplicity of BM and butteryluts. The latest video i recorded. I was amazed how little i had to color correct when i got everything right in camera. Butteryacademy has help me improve my skills and Ive been watching the course again lately 😀.

"La vielle ferme" ( = The old farm) is such a nice wine, dense in flavors but light to the palate. Produced some 15 km north from Avignon ("ah-vee-nion"), AKA the City of Popes, it is one of the best exemples of simple yet classy easy-to-drink wines. You know how to choose your clients ! And how to film their products.

As always, best looking footage on youtube… I am struggling to get even close… But what is that False color you are using at the 8:37 mark…? The colors in the graph are not distributed like the BM false color in the pocket camera or in Resolve… Pink only up to IRE 50…?

[@nk-nokani4467]

He is actually using the false color preset for the URSA Mini Pro 4.6k. I was wondering why the reflecting highlight in at the bottle is not clipping. Now I know but it is still a little bit confusing because some people might not notice the mistake.

[@PeasantTVProductions]

Hi Matteo, I love your videos, you're a big reason why I decided to go for a BMPCC6K (I ended up going for the pro, though). I also shoot very minimally and do a lot of hand held, so my question is how do you deal with the rolling shutter in these cameras? Especially with tighter lenses? I came from Sony and you had to move the camera quite frantically to notice it but, with this camera, I feel it's quite noticeable even with very small movements. Your hand held shooting is stunning so I thought I'd see if you had any tips!

[@theDanDeleon]

Will you post the finished video here? Or where can we see it? Looks awesome!

[@matteobertoli]

I might yes! It will probably be part of the full BTS video. Thank you!

@@matteobertoli I'M SOLD!!!! 😀

[@leosylver7]

this clearly makes me believe buying a BM 6K was a great investment for my projects. all i need is a cinema lens as an icing on the cake.

[@Sundirre]

You don't need cinema lens. Learn about framing (leading lines), composition (rule of thirds), shaping light (natural backlit, negative fills, bounce, diffuse), think about contrasts of different types (color contrast Blue / orange, light contrast dark / light, shape contrast round / square) within the frame. Think what you want to be focus of video, and try to draw eye to it. You will get great images without expensive equipment, learn first then invest

[@cineopusEU]

vintage lenses are a great cover up too :)

Bonjour pouvez vous faire la comparaison entre bmpcc 6k vs fx3

[@matteobertoli]

I don’t have a fx3

[@blackbird8837]

so you're not doing the whole Davinci Colour managed - WideGamut workflow? You just do a manual LUT Rec709 conversion at the end?, interesting. Wouldn't the Promist filter have helped with rendering the highlights in harsh sunlight better? Was that a conscious decision or did you just not have the filter with you on that day? Also: huge, huge fan of the french wines. I was on a film project in 2020 near Montpellier / Nîmes and on our days off we would roam off to the Domaines, some 1-2h drive away and just get a taste of the best wines I've had in my life, there are wines you can't really buy online, as they are predominantly sold locally, but they are sensational. The properties themselves are just breathtaking. The people there just know how to live. If you ever plan on going to that area, hit me up I can give you some great recommendations! Thanks again for the video, man.

[@matteobertoli]

Thanks! As i said in the video, it was a choice because i wanted a clean image. Regarding davinci, no idea why everyone is going nuts over this color management and wide gamut workflow. As I showed here, this very simple workflow works incredibly well and you will save tons of time

[@Director_S]

10:29 im assuming the ISO can be at 1250 for that wine glass shot ?

[@matteobertoli]

As long as you don’t have bright highlights yes, but no point imo. You could shoot that at 400. Much better

[@eatsimplefood]

hi, thank you for the video, I'm trying to learn from you. Just to make sure I understand it right, you used the 35mm for all the shots, you just stepped back for the wide angle shots right? So one camera, one lens, no gimbal, no AF, no extra light, just a great lens and a great camera and experience. I love it!

[@matteobertoli]

Correct :) thanks!

[@eatsimplefood]

@@matteobertoli I will copy your approach, I might have to go with the Fuji X-H2s or the Sony a7iv (because or some photo work I get from time to time, which I will use the -X-T4 but want to have a backup). Not sure which one to invest in. So far I'm using a Fuji X-T4 and a X-100V but need a camera with no recording limit, for those long presentations that I film regularly. As a tool it would maybe make sense to go FF but I don't know if I can trust Sony, the overheating seams to be at least sometimes a problem, also the colours are different to my X-T4. But I guess I would get a tool with all the FF advantages. Or I stick to Fuji and go with the X-H2s. What would you do? Or save all the money and just work with what I have until sony brings out a a7iv+ with no overheating issues and no crop ;)

[@botbot3698]

Man, the Leica R lenses are such a perfect combo with the Pocket 6k. I'm just a little worried about focus breathing for narrative projects.

[@matteobertoli]

There is way less focus breathing on the Leica then the Cooke s4 ;)

Resolve default settings. That’s it. No idea why people are going crazy with this color management thing. That’s all I do with 2 node structure and default settings

[@Jaxplode]

Thank you so much! So overall your basic settings are 24fps for the project in DaVinci Resolve? And when you import 48fps RAW you convert it to 24fps so that it plays as slow mo?

[@matteobertoli]

Nope, it automatically plays in slow :) Project is 24 in camera with off speed recording of 48.

[@Jaxplode]

@@matteobertoli Ahh. Because when you import media in DaVinci with different FPS it ask „Would you convert to Project Frame Rate?“…. So it does automatically

@@Jaxplode the clips are 24p ;)

Question, i have the blackmagic 6k pro and I black balance my camera and I still get a lot of noise in the shadows and in the black. Any recommendations? I used to have the blackmagic 6K and never had that much noise like I do with the pro.

[@matteobertoli]

Yeah lots of info missing. Were you using the internal NDs? Or if it was night, how dark it was? The Pocket, like any other camera, can get very noisy if you are shooting in pitch black. Cleanest image you are gonna have is at iso 400 and 1250

[@tomruckes562]

I have the same problem with my 6k pro. Every time I shoot in the dark, I have a lot of noise in the image.

[@RandyRuizvideomedia]

No nd. I was in iso 400. The last shoot I did I had the windows open which was enough to light the room and I also had one 1.5 K with a soft box hitting the subject and he had a black shirt and that was super noisy. This past weekend I had another shoot outside around 4 PM in a canopy and I still got noise in the black and shadows. My settings were iso 640, aperture 4.0. I had the same settings on a canon C 300 MK two and the blacks and The shadows were clean. I am thinking the camera might be defective?

@@RandyRuizvideomedia if you’re getting noticeable noise in broad daylight at iso 400. You might have a bad unit. Shouldn’t be noisy unless, like Matteo said, you’re underexposing or it’s just too dark out to get a decent signal from the sensor.

I give up on bmpcc a long time ago, using Sony fx3 right now, Sony works good, but Gosh the bmd raw and colour is killing sony every time I saw someone post bmpcc clips. Sony can be really good after colour grading, but the bmpcc can easily match up fx3 clip while fx3 is having some really hard time to get similar colour like bmpcc
