Really miss this city !! Who has been to Rome ? Cheers, Flo

I've been to Rome 1 month before buying BMPCC 4K and that just sucks, especially now seeing this video. I see we've been to all the same places so I might share this with anyone who asks how it's been. It's an AWESOME city. It lives all night long. That's what stood out to me. Keep up the great work! I love your channel.

[@OfTwoLands]

Thanks so much !! Such a great city, can't wait to go back one day :)

[@LERAKO]

Lovely work as always! Been to Rome in 2006 and it's the trip that triggered me to buy my first Digital SLR :)

Rome sweet home

[@Aaron_Smith_OM]

In the hands of a capable and talented person, the camera really doesn't matter. Not to mention the way you edit and music choices, man! I'm really learning so much from watching this channel. Definitely have to say you guys have contributed to me being more patient, present, and intentional with my work. Thank you as always for the lessons and uploading.

[@OfTwoLands]

Thank you so much for the kind words !! So glad to read this and that we could help a little :).

[@daylight5500]

goosebumps, baby, goosebumps. wonderful choice of music. the 1080 BMPCC still rules. I watched it a second time, tears this time. What have we done to our planet?

[@OfTwoLands]

Glad you enjoyed the video :) !! Thank you :)

[@daylight5500]

@@OfTwoLands it is interesting how music can influence a video. If the music had been up beat it would have taken me in a different direction, but because I perceived the music to be melancholy it took me down the road of thinking about what was and what is now due to covid-19......... re life, death, the soul of a city, voices from balconies. Thank you. Interesting start to the day. I need to ask, what was your intent when you chose this piece of music? However I fear that by asking you this it may influence future viewers. You thanked me for enjoying the video. "enjoy" is not the word I would use. It touched me deeply. I still need to work out why.

[@RhysCropper]

The way you've incorporated the sound is brilliant, it gives each shot an additional atmosphere and makes me feel a little closer to Rome!

Thanks so much my man, hope you get to visit this place one day :) !!

The original pocket is such a lovely camera! I fell in love with the BMCC 2.5k 8 years ago and dreamed of it, it was going to be my first camera. Years later, 2020, I finally purchased my first "professional" camera. It is the BMPCC, and your channel is the one who convinced me of the BMPCC. Keep up the beautiful work! Maybe one day ill be able to visit these wonderful places!

[@OfTwoLands]

It does have a lovely and organic look. Thanks so much for the kind feedback and have fun shooting !!

[@filipposalini4021]

wow, I'm amazed

Thanks!!

[@normanlang1]

Nice work as usual. You made me miss Rome and my BMPCC which I sold to a friend. I just love the look. I now I own a P4K and P6K, but that original little pocket was great fun and you very competently reminded me what a great camera it is. Anyway I love my new cameras too. I have also been watching your chilly South Pole work with the new cameras. You are loving the dream. Thanks for sharing.

[@OfTwoLands]

Thanks !! Sure is a great camera, especially for the price and size. Lots of quirks but worth it :). Thank you for watching !!

[@treestarvideoproduction6857]

Absolutely stunning! I love your work. The most common thing I see with the og is shakey footage. I saw in a previous video that you shoot mostly handheld..how do you get such smooth video???

[@OfTwoLands]

Thanks so much man !! I have been shooting handheld for years so I guess I am used to it. The lens also has IS so it helps. And sometimes I stabilise in post too :)

[@treestarvideoproduction6857]

@@OfTwoLands Nice thanks!

[@masaru_Videographer]

Your footage is always fascinating, even if you don't use a trendy gimbal these days!Great！！

[@OfTwoLands]

Thank you !! And yeah, gimbals can quickly become overused.

[@utah62]

Thanks for sharing. Very nice and detailed. Music also very nice. I personally would left the music of the band playing away. Does not really sound great with the background music. Did you use Filmconvert to grade?

[@OfTwoLands]

Thanks for watching !! Glad you liked it. And yes I used Filmconvert to grade :).

[@utah62]

Thanks. Started following you. Grading Rome is very nice. What settings did you use for the New York movie btw?

[@kelcol101]

Lovely

Thank you :) !!

[@gaboguerra950]

Nice!!! Original Pocket has less resolution but is more filmic organic looking. It’s a shame Black Magic lost that touch

[@OfTwoLands]

Thanks !! Not a shame, just a different look and camera. I’d pick the bmpcc4k/6K any day especially for work :)

[@gaboguerra950]

Of Two Lands yes and I like the 4K and 6K., they’re great! Just thay they lost a little of cinematic quality

[@usernamenotvisibIe]

Just Beautiful! What ASA did you shoot with? Was it the same ASA for the Night Time (low light) shots? Any tips?

[@OfTwoLands]

Thanks !! Just 800 and I think I used 1600 on shot night shots :).

[@SPNCEmusic]

What did you do for battery life? Just charge a bunch of those little guys and put them in your pocket? I want to take mine with me everywhere but the battery life and software issues prevent me from doing so.

[@OfTwoLands]

Yep, exactly. Had 4 of them :).

[@ariasmusic1]

Just watched the video ! Super beautiful ! I bought the original BMPCC and i'm wondering if the stabilisation on the 12-35 works, or is there a firmware update on the lens/camera to do ? Bravo again for your work

[@OfTwoLands]

Thanks so much !! The 12-35 works really well :).

Thanks !! Just Prores , as always :)

[@owise1664]

That looks amazing! Stunning picture, I got Bmpcc recently and I’m trying to figure out a work flow to began with my documentary I’m working on that requires lots of street footage and handheld , and I’m blown away by how smoothly and less shaky you were able to get your footage to look like.. any tips you could feel comfortably sharing with me on how did you achieve this smooth handheld outcome? Lastly Keep inspiring us!

[@Mikeshyne100]

Absolutely brilliant! I love the footage that comes from this camera. But brother what did you do to get the slow mo intro, and slider shots? The camera only has 24 and 30fps.

Mix of using an IS lens and stabilisation in post :)

Thanks a lot for great video! How do you think it's good idea to buy original bmpcc today? (If it be in good condition and near 500$ price, or look for anything else?)

[@OfTwoLands]

Actually making a video about this as we speak :).

[@ivanco_channel]

I reviewed all yours footages from original bmpcc and it's amazing! And you have some links to your gear but there's no original bmpcc kit. That's why I decided ask you about that. Thanks a lot.

[@kolecava]

How come you use ProRes over RAW? FCPX? Regardless of codec, footage always looks mint! ;)

[@OfTwoLands]

I just love Prores, looks great, easy to edit and good option for storage/archive :)

[@djwatson]

Nice edit! How many times did you change the battery? lol

[@OfTwoLands]

Thanks !! I only had 4 of the little ones with me and didn't charge them during the day :)

[@willis0522]

do you use IR cut filter when you use ND?

[@OfTwoLands]

No, just a cheap circular ND :).

[@Sandor_Clegane_9]

Why is it so blury in even in 4k?

[@OfTwoLands]

1080 footage.
