I want to make a FEATURE FILM on the DJI pocket 3 (Netflix level)

I’ve been inspired to make a cinematic feature film narrative on the DJI Osmo Pocket 3. A lot of people put effort into their films and are focused on the camera, the lighting, colour and technical skills but this camera exceeds all cameras in one department. My honest review as I’ve come from a feature film background. Going forward I want to use this tool to capture the soul. It’s a vlogging camera but has a major advantage which can be used for capturing so much coverage and moments. This is crucial to making good cinematic narrative film work. Performance and soul makes a film and the camera is a tool. The possibilities are endless and on my next feature film DJI Osmo Pocket 3 will replace other cameras. This camera is worth the hype and should inspire people to take their cameras and make a film because we honestly have the tools. DJI OP3 is amazing for cinematic content if in the right hands.

Brotha ! as a person who has been spiraling from depression after loosing my childhood dog before Christmas. Ever since I’ve just been house rotting and my Air 3 has been just sitting on the shelf collecting dust. THEN I got this little pocket 3 creator combo 2 days ago. And after my first walk in the woods doing my first “Vlog” ever and I also flew the Air 3 for the first time in a while and after a bunch of smiles from that little adventure I completely understand what you mean, this little camera is truly amazing. Very well done also with the video man I wish I knew how to edit and such as you do. Very inspiring. Keep it up man and thanks for the awesome video.

[@NoHomage]

hey thank you so much for sharing this and sorry to hear of your childhood dog (I lost my Cookie a decade ago) I feel you. Totally get that feeling of picking up the camera and being liberated. Id love to try a dji drone one day especially for travel. might have to start saving :)

@@NoHomage awe I’m sorry for your loss man :/ hasn’t felt the same since man as I’m sure you understand. Absolutely try out The Air 3 it’s incredible, you won’t regret the buy!

This video is really inspiring. Colors, framing, cuts, everything. Please do more of that kind and show us what else we can get out of our DJI OP3s. I'd love to follow the progress of your idea doing a Pocket 3 feature film in your future YT videos.

[@NoHomage]

Thank you! I'm currently working through my Japan cinematic vlogs which were all shot on op3, but am writing again so hopefully something will come soon. What keeps going through mind mind is how to use the camera and its very unique language to tell stories how films like tangerine, or all about lily chou chou used digital technology and their advances at the time to add to the story and create a specific world for that film. I think the op3 has such a unique vibe!

Happy birthday ! Very well done. The mood is great, the mix between humor and seriousness/introspective 👍 I love the jumps between timelines ❤

[@NoHomage]

thank you 35 years still going strong! I'm working on the edit for the newest episodes and kinda writing a bit in the edit trying to find that balance (also try new things that may or may not work too). Thanks for letting me know the timeline flash backs and flash forwards worked for you. I find when creating there are so many potential versions of an edit so this comment means a lot to me :)

[@robinb5752]

@@NoHomage Yes, those jumps worked totally for me! The first jump I noticed with the switch to you in front of your editor and looking into the camera. Really great. I believe you make quite some use of L- and J-cuts to make these transitions more seamless - I love that too. The mood is great, the flow is great, some shots are spectacular. The opening scene in the telephone booth was brilliant ! The skyscraper rooftop in one of the previous films had some really great shots too. Those might have been even more prominent with a little less of the average shots around them. I probably would have graded the footage a bit more natural, particularly the sunny, bluesky outdoor scenes, but hey, that's 100% personal taste. And I can see that being there, it probably felt exactly like you've graded those scenes.

[@NoHomage]

@@robinb5752 hey thanks for the detail in this comment. yeah I tend to lean into a particular kind of colour/grade. The film that got me into cinema when I was growing up was a Japanese film called All about lily Chou Chou (warning if you do watch it its very dark) and I've been chasing the feeling of that movie ever since through my eyes. Films by Wes Anderson and Noir films like old boy had a huge influence on how I see the world too so the kind of grade I go for is a mix of how it felt to see the world in the moment, and also how I'd like to reference filmmakers I admire. There was a Thai film called Citizen Dog which I saw on DVD and it was filmed on digital cameras back then and I remember thinking it was the best look ever! Now that I'm back to filming again I'm chasing these beautiful colours everywhere haha :)

[@Myousafyahya]

Great work man Really inspired❤️🙌🏼

This video extremely inspiring and helped me with making a decision on purchasing this camera. Thank you for sharing your story and capturing this moment. Cinematically amazing job. Looking forward to more videos like these.

[@NoHomage]

Thank you so much for the kind comment! its cool coz out the box with just flicking the screen on you get very good quality footage and its stable already! one of my fave things to do is film pretty much anywhere my eyes take me. Stay tuned, and also if you want to see how it holds up in low light check my recent one OSAKA eclipse which there's much less sunlight, a lot of diffused cloudy filled skies, indoor shadows, and neons of night. super happy with the most recent one and thanks for watching :)

[@Yelsz]

Sounds great!! I would love to see more ways to use it cinematically and more angles if possible.

[@edgarfabianfrias]

[@edgarfabianfrias]

@@NoHomage so great! I love what you shared around your change in perspective and find it so exciting that you’re bringing your talent and vision for crafting film into vlogging! It’s so inspiring to me and I got the camera to start vlogging more too and am inspired to see it as a part of my art practice too as I’m a “fine artist” as well. Always such a gift when we can let go of ideologies that are no longer serving us and grow into what we’re wanting to become! 🙏🏼✨

[@jherikazoldryck7378]

You’re video is really inspiring. I wanted to start filming too. I also got an Osmo pocket 3 about a couple weeks ago. Been watching videos but I haven’t filmed anything yet. Seeing your video really helps. I’ve been being really down quiet some time now too. Thank you for being sincere and opening up. I know it’s not a simple task.

[@NoHomage]

Tbh I noticed since I've been vlogging I've found myself lighter too. It's some kind of thing that happens when you express the bottled up emotions. For me film is what helps me. Good luck shooting! I really love how intuitive the camera is and how fast shots can be set up so you don't miss a moment!

[@jherikazoldryck7378]

Problem is I’m a really shy and introvert person. So it’s kind of hard for me to start.

[@NoHomage]

@@jherikazoldryck7378 I did a poll on my instagram and a quite few ppl voted they liked my non-monologue episodes more as they were less about ideology and more letting the visuals do the talking. what's amazing about cinema is there's so many ways to tell a story :)

[@WorldInHazel]

You've really inspired me to continue to learn how to use the pocket 3. I've had it for a couple of months now, but haven't had much of a chance to use it outdoors. I'm getting better at it slowly but surely, but this video just reiterated my thoughts on how awesome this camera is on the go. I have a trip coming up, and I'm excited to continue learning how to capture better shots to tell my story. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. 🥺😊

[@NoHomage]

Thanks for the comment. I totally understand what you mean and I actually practiced intensively shooting a lot and watching how it reacts to light, my body and my movements too. For outside I love how it reacts to light. I prefer strong grade so I shoot flat and work in post. Have fun on your trip. I'm sure the footage will look spectacular and you'll have so many amazing memories to look over :)

[@cjnalam]

love the color grade on this video, great job!

[@NoHomage]

Thank you so much! I've been experimenting and pushing the OP3 boundaries through my videos. In Osaka Eclipse episode for example I go into some darker territory with the grade making more of a noir. In the Fuikawaguciko episodes I go into a more blue sunny snow kind of look! I love that this camera can hold up despite being so small :)

[@shonen84]

Love the edit, framing, spontaneity…and that DJI Osmo Pocket 3 makes it look you’re using a rig or gimbal. Fully sold me that kit now. I may not even wait for a vacation, might hit one up soon! Also love hearing that it literally made you happy!

[@NoHomage]

Thank you for the comment :) it's so great! sometimes I still can't beleive the results and how much fun I've been having. On my last few films I was using the helios and other vintage lenses which I love the look of but there is something exciting about being able to get interesting movements that I had tried to get with my big zhiyun gimbal and heavy set up. It's also interesting now that im inspired writing a narrative film with this specific camera/look in mind I'm visualising framing and movements id not normally be able to see (since on indie budgets I know what it would take to achieve certain shots on limited timeframe). Liberating!!!

[@shonen84]

@@NoHomage that’s what’s it all about! Happy to hear your enthusiasm!

[@MowMent]

It was already given that you are a film director so you are able to vlog aesthetically at any point in time. But the point here is the answer to the question "how to be happy". With our skills or knowledge and expertise each of our own, what can they do when we're sad? Depressed? You answered them in this vlog as well. And yeah I love how you expressed your vulnerabilities, and taught me to appreciate every moments in life 🙏🏻✨️ I wish I can have both filming skills and wisdom 😂

[@NoHomage]

Hey thank you so much for this comment! Actually one of the reasons I took an extended break from filmmaking was because it got increasingly harder for me to make a film. gear. Crew. Limited windows of time. In the indie space this can be a bit of an issue, and eventually it wore me out. I was down and out for a bit. Then enter the DJI OSMO Pocket 3. It's made filming fun again for me! As a director I'd developed skills previously but what I find really fascinating is I can put some of these movements together that I'd not usually do. It's so good for freethinking flowing filmmaking, kind of like throwing paint at a wall this device with the flick of a wrist, it's set up and I'm moving through locations, filming, smiling. Thanks for letting me know how you received the vlog, because vlogging has also taught me to let go a bit and enjoy filming every single day. it's what I enjoy, its what I look forward to and I think I was in a rut until I learnt to finally let go and just film. Also I heard a saying...all directors wish they were actors...now I'm not really an actor but doing this has also allowed me to grow in that department too. I'm finally enjoying doing more on camera things :) Stay tuned, more videos coming soon and take care!

[@MowMent]

@@NoHomage I didn't know there were struggles especially for Indie (I am not a film major so I have no idea) but thank you for sharing about it! Yes, I agree with you tho. We share the same sentiment. And I guess, vlogging is more of a freedom, like a free-verse poetry without bound by rules that much. Thus, more ways for us to express creatively! I am excited to watch more!

[@NoHomage]

Love your style. Keep it up and you will soon have a large and enthusiastic following. I haven't had my Pocket 3 for very long, but so far it is exactly as good as I'd hoped as someone that has held out with the original Osmo Pocket until now. Just a few days after its arrival I used it as a remote second camera to shoot a live dance performance. Using the bluetooth connection to my smartphone, I was able to zoom and pan remotely from one position without having to run back and forth between cameras. I've also shot a talking head podcast and a real estate listing with it and I have no complaints at all.

[@NoHomage]

that's so good to hear it has so many other functions. I've not utilised that yet doing everything intuitively and manually but I feel if I was making a longer form film narrative in a control environment id use an external monitor through phone or Ipad. How's the time on the feed between the devices? is there any lag?

Thank you for the kindest words. I love how the op3 reacts to light, that I can move it so quickly following every impulse it really had made filming fun! I still can't believe how small the camera/sensor is and it being on a gimbal makes filming intuitive. I film flat with intention to grade and adding black bars uses the wide lens aesthetic kind of giving 2:35 feel. If you get one pls do get a snow mist filter (I always have one on) and maybe some ND's, and if you plan on using it for audio the creator combo with the mic is really handy!

[@NoHomage]

I use a combo of freeluts from freshluts and stack them. my shooting is 10bit log wb5400 and then I do it all in premiere. hope that helps

[@wanderingsofalanandcaz]

9 minutes eating the sandwich outside was that with a mic plugged in or was that the onboard mic on the osmo 3?

[@NoHomage]

Hey! I'm not mic'd up there (no hidden Lav) just the onboard. I tend to use onboard mic straight from the Osmo so I don't lose the spontaneity. my monologues are all mic'd up

[@wanderingsofalanandcaz]

@@NoHomage Excellent. It's actually really good quality considering it's onboard.

[@xdjason]

Did u use a mist filter.. Great shot by the way

[@NoHomage]

yhup! freewill snowmist filter and d-log. I shoot flat and grade. Getting rid of that digital sharpness helps and I don't ever clean my lens too haha

[@xdjason]

@@NoHomage nice..do hit me up if you ever come to Singapore..

[@NoHomage]

@@xdjason yooo that's too kind! I love Singapore but unfortunately haven't been since 2019. Hope to someday soon and see the cinematic city with my own eyes again

[@MowMent]

1:21 that running girlprolly trying to avoid camera? Ina work rush? Lol that was just funny

[@cornflakes1275]

everything is in auto? or do you have D log set? anyway, great storytelling my friend. a perfect definition of "how vlog should be done" :)

[@NoHomage]

thanks! yeah I do it all manually for each shot I change the iso and I shoot in 4k dlog m . that's a nice compliment btw. I put a lot of work into these so thank you

[@cornflakes1275]

@@NoHomage nice.tnx for the info 🙃

[@NoHomage]

@@cornflakes1275 all good thanks!

[@walkwithyan]

i love your vlog. i love your story. i love your win over depression. i love your fashion sense. i love your personality. i love that you love tangerine. i love your camera (i still dont have one, cant afford it for now haha) and the way you shot and colored and edited your video. btw, what are your pocket 3 settings? did you shoot in d-log and did you use a lut for color grading? sorry for my questions. i just want to learn from you. hope you dont mind. thanks! i just subscribed. ☺

[@NoHomage]

hey thank you so much for the kindest of words! Waking up to a message like this is such a great way to start my Sunday so really appreciate it. My settings are D-Log M 10bit for the colour profile, 4K 30p (Japan) and 25 fps in Melbourne. Color grade using freeluts and messing with contrast in premiere. WB 5400K I just keep there I have tan skin I think it works best heres. The next one has a lot of wides and tracking shots as it's a journey from Tokyo to Fujikawaguchiko so spent a little but more time just doing some touch ups but will upload today hopefully, Thanks so much for watching :)

[@walkwithyan]

@@NoHomage thanks for sharing this. ☺

[@NoHomage]

@@walkwithyan Oh, also I always use a snow mist filter for every shot to get rid of some of that digital sharpness!

[@walkwithyan]

@@NoHomage you like the snow mist filter better than the black mist filter?

[@WeekendMilesx]

did you use the black mist filter on this footage?

[@NoHomage]

snow mist filter the whole way! thank you

[@WeekendMilesx]

@@NoHomage thank you loved the video btw

[@NoHomage]

@@WeekendMilesx means the world to me thank you ! new one up in a few hours :)

[@Iamquiroga]

did you use single-point or face tracking?

[@NoHomage]

hey! in don't use the face tracking much although I probably should! there's a few shots where I did use it from memory, but not many I think I instinctively don't switch it on for some reason

[@Iamquiroga]

@@NoHomage thank you for replying! and Love the videos!

[@calebsnoke]

🤟🎬🤟

[@NoHomage]

thank you!

[@user-kh6wh2lw8j]

what filter did you use for this video?

[@NoHomage]

My settings are D-Log M 10bit for the colour profile, 4K WB Color grade using freeluts. I use a combination of them from that website and messing with contrast in premiere.

[@user-wm4sq4sj3o]

The whites look very blown out is there anyway to resolve that?

[@NoHomage]

personal choice, if I'd used my ND it would look more even but most my work follows this visual language. my big influence on my cinematography and films is a movie all all about lily Chou Chou (which has a lot of blowouts), wonderful film with some really interesting cinematography (altho strong warning its a pretty dark film)

[@user-wm4sq4sj3o]

@@NoHomage thank you, I just wondered if it was due to the osmo that’s all, I shall check out that film😎

[@pepsimac]

Did you use an ND filter on this

[@NoHomage]

hey, I have the full set of them but I just manually expose and push exposure. I use a snow mist filter and manually expose each shot

[@pepsimac]

Ah ok, I’ve seen so many people do different things for exposure on the osmo, I guess whatever works best for you

[@NoHomage]

@@pepsimac yeah its actually a technique I used on my bigger cameras too for that kind of sharp a tad surreal dream like effect. I think my aesthetic kinda leans into it (especially with the mist filter). I grade with a combo of luts too. I used an ND much more about 15 episodes ago in my vlogging but in more recent episodes I've noticed I use the ND less. tbh the ND is super useful for filming in all those highlights but I've found this kind of manual ramping way up 1/1600, 1/2000, 1/2500, 1/3200 with 50 iso works well for my quick set up on the move style!

[@pepsimac]

@@NoHomage thanks. Appreciate you explaining this

[@NoHomage]

@@pepsimac thanks! I actually kind of struggle to explain numerical things, but since the osmo is so quick to pick up and turn on I had it in front of me just then so picked it up and checked the numbers. My one kind of struggle has kinda been explaining what I do to get my look (I'm thinking of now taking notes in each edit of what Luts I use and settings) so I can explain things better to people. having a KZbin has helped me verbalise this as I get quite a few questions on that part of my videos! Thanks for reaching out!

[@TheLinesEnd]

Unless you figure out how to make that thing take full size lenses, it’s not going to happen.

[@NoHomage]

why not tho? one of my favourite films tangerine was made on iPhone. I personally think story, heart, soul and most importantly a good performance is what makes a film. There's a cinematic language that comes about from using this kind of camera with thinking out of the box.

[@TheLinesEnd]

@@NoHomage they just aren’t good for that sort of thing. One thing is the lack of subject separation due to the micro sensor and fake lens specs. Makes the scene too busy to tell a good story

[@NoHomage]

@@TheLinesEnd yeah, but cinema is so much more vast. I love the film tangerine (iPhone) for example because of its imperfections. I'm thinking of utilising the device for its advantages. Like how the Dogma 95 films, or filipino new wave cinema, or bi gan's first feature Kaili blues were made. I come from a background using vintage lenses for my previous features (and or long takes slow cinema) but I'm seeing movements and spaces I can't usually get into with this. I'm seeing non actors open up for a genuine performance. I'm seeing locations you'd not get access to with a crew. I honestly think the footage captured if done right can be poetic and beautiful.

[@TheLinesEnd]

@@NoHomage don’t get me wrong. I have an iPhone 15 Pro Max with a cage, handles, rgb light, variable ND, and microphone set up for when I work with social media influencers but it’s with their understanding that it won’t be “cinematic” even with the pro-res log footage since the depth of field decides that more than anything else.

[@NoHomage]

@@TheLinesEnd I get ya, on my last film I used the helios extensively but having everything in focus can also be cinematic. It can also conveys the story. Lav Diaz does this wonderfully in his films for example.
