I just appreciate that there is no epic, royalty free, compulsory youtube soundtrack. Just good old environmental audio.

[@mrnessss]

This is INCREDIBLE! The colour, the pacing of the edit, the framing, the sound. It truly feels like a film. You have a cinematic eye. Well done!

[@grandemoproductions]

Thank you!! Makes me very happy to hear!

[@mrnessss]

@@grandemoproductions If you made a feature, I would watch it in a heartbeat.

[@davidaarthur]

Shows you don't need camera movement to make something cinematically compelling.

[@christopherduran9926]

This is probably the best BMPCC4K footage on all of KZbin. Bravo my friend

[@memorafilms]

Undoubtfully beautiful video for even 2 years after😍🔥

[@marcusmanningtv]

The pocket 4k is a beast of a camera if you can get the focus correct. Amazing images

[@link_8159]

That had a really cool feeling to it. Just got my Helios. Can’t wait to shoot with it! Also your color grading was really great

[@grandemoproductions]

Thanks! And good luck to you!

[@rcordiner]

Such beautiful work. My favourite lens of all time.

[@gamiensrule]

The shot at 3:15 is STUNNING! Absolutely gorgeous! And everything from 4:27 on!

[@melankolikfilms]

Utterly wonderful. Loved every second of this film. May all your vacations be this slow.

[@1bertoimagemaker]

great images

Just bought a 44-m4 and a 44-2 for my 6k pro. I can't wait....

[@AmillionCo]

Howdo u mount onto 6kpro

[@gamiensrule]

@@AmillionCo you have to buy an adapter. It's cheap.

I like this video. The vibe is nice - calm/pleasent.

[@StevenCornfield]

I just bought this lens and have this camera. The shots you got are stunning - so stoked to try out this combo!

This has such a beautiful and calm atmosphere! Also nice color grading:)

[@kskmain]

So warm

[@MegaShowmaster]

beautiful 🤩

[@khunbeerekkachai6104]

Excellent. I like the natural sound. It doesn't need too much background music, it's perfect.

[@jalenspencerfilm]

These shots are amazing! No music makes it so mediative!

[@JacksonHayes]

Gorgeous work.

Thanks Jackson!

Gorgeous

[@drurybynum9657]

Very refreshing point of view. Strong direction. Great choices.

[@grandemoproductions]

Thank you Drury! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@CameronBarrera]

Honestly, this was great. Eschews so much of the typical youtube stuff. All no camera movement, focused approach to sound, and you didn't start of the video screaming at me regarding sponsors and likes, ha. You've got a wonderful eye. This was really enjoyable. Thank you.

[@grandemoproductions]

Thank you!! Really nice words!

[@hbtwov8227]

What pretty colours.

[@AntoineTroupe]

Ive watched this a million times and I have a question if you dont mind. When you add grain/noise are you adding a film grain overlay or your using the noise effect in premiere pro? Incredible work.

[@grandemoproductions]

Hi, Antoine! I actually don’t remember what kind of grain I used here… I think it was some kind of overlay with pretty low opacity. Glad you’re enjoying it!

[@AntoineTroupe]

@@grandemoproductions appreciate your response. You own us nothing. Lol thank you

[@rocheuro]

beautiful scenes and sound design! have to say this. amasing "filmic" look and the lens character is just insane. seriously i love this round bokeh and style much more than anything anamorphic for example. subbed

[@blackskyboii]

I want that camera now 😩 ❤❤❤❤

[@everydaylifefilms]

As a BMPCC4K owner, this is great..really love the vibe. Inspiring! New sub! :)

[@jchuavid]

This is awesome! Did you use a speed booster at all?

[@samuelguce]

Really lovely - beautiful colour and composition- old gritty feel to it

[@grandemoproductions]

Glad you liked it, Samuel!

[@-Flynn]

Great work. Just ordered a Helios for the 6K. Looking forward to using it, if I can get anything even close any of these shots I'll be very happy.

[@henrybusby]

I love the patient approach. Nice to find others. Beautiful grade. You know how to juice the pocket 4k just right.

[@grandemoproductions]

Glad you like it!

[@dominika5252]

this is so beautiful!

[@LiterallyJord]

Do you remember if you converted your video to Rec709 before applying the ButteryLut?? Your grade here is so freakin solid.

[@raksh9]

Camera quality is something else now. We have access to inexpensive cameras that allow us to make things that look like beautiful independent productions. What ND filter did you use?

Helios 44 - 3:01, 3:13, 3:26, 3:44, 3:51(Rosy cheeks pan to the left, drunken motion) , 4:31 ---

Beautiful work, man.

[@jaythefourth]

What did you use to record audio?

[@grandemoproductions]

@@jaythefourth thanks!! Audio: I had a MKE 600 on the camera and used my Zoom H4n to record additional sounds (in stereo). I then mixed those in post, together with some prerecorded samples.

[@jaythefourth]

@@grandemoproductions I love it. I’m gonna def steal that setup..rarely use the top mics on my zoom, but this was a super convincing proof of concept!

[@jachymnovotny5029]

Hi, can I ask you what export settings did you use? The compression looks much better compared to other videos from pocket 4k. Beautiful video btw!

[@sixth.memory]

Footage is incredible! Im temped to buy this lens!

[@yansterckx2206]

The color looks FANTASTIC! How did you grade it?

[@grandemoproductions]

Thanks!! I think I used Buttery Luts as a start, and then went from there! Did it all in Premiere.

@@grandemoproductions glad to come across others who still use premier for blackmagic products.

[@DaInfantOne]

Dope content! Name of the 52mm ND filter used in this video by chance?

[@DylColeman]

Fantastic! I love how natural these frames feel. Every one of them feels as if I'm in the room or standing on the outside of the group looking in. What did you use to record audio?

what speedbooster are you using for that?

[@VilkanVisions]

Nice shots 👌

[@UbiquitousBooks]

Just wow. May I ask how you graded this? It looks a bit like an Alexa LUT.

[@ShotByJaguar]

i think we need a lil grading tutorial from u!!!!!!!! looks really nice and pleasing

[@margetschistah]

thats the best colours i've seen out of the Blackmagic 4k. Can you please make a colour grading video?

[@8RO8official]

Amazing work, how do achieve such sharp images?

This is gorgeous. Which Buttery LUT did you start with? Natural Rec709?

[@grandemoproductions]

Hmm, I think so yes!

[@ThomasJohn1]

@@grandemoproductions what did you use to record audio? Sounds fantastic.

[@grandemoproductions]

@@ThomasJohn1 Hi Tom! I had a Sennheiser MKE 600 connected directly to the camera, while also recording some audio with my Zoom H4n - then i mixed the results in post. Also cheated a little bit and used some sounds that weren't mine, the thunder for example.

[@PeterDiBussolo]

Dude! these shots are some of the best coming from this camera! can you explain the colouring process you did for this project?

[@grandemoproductions]

Thanks Peter!! Like I wrote in some earlier comment: I think I used Buttery Luts as a start, and then went from there! Did it all in Premiere. Relied mostly on gut feeling, more than scopes or numbers.

[@LouisFindlay]

This has really given me the confidence to go out and shoot my next feature with my new Pocket 4K and shoot it on a tripod whilst I find my feet with it. How did you record audio in the wide shots, was it a lav? The footage is beautifully graded, am I right in assuming Davinci?

Glad to hear that, Louis! I recorded the audio with a Sennheiser MKE 600 mic and the zoom H4n!
