Venice, Italy - Filmed with BMPCC

[@JordanThiem]

I've finally made a video about how I colored the BMPCC footage! I'll put a link in the description. Let me know if it helps you out!

[@beetle786]

Jordan Thiem which camera equipment you use buddy for this video.

[@real_joey]

been waiting for this. thank u :)

[@stashbox1809]

Friccckkkiinnn Amazing!!!!!

[@dazzdeadmeadow]

Superb video, still stands up against most of the stuff shot now. The one thing I can never get is how you get the videos to look so good on KZbin. I've tried various software with varying settings and I can't get this kind of quality.

[@cms_paris]

@@dazzdeadmeadow Yes! That's also my question. I have a BMPC and Resolve 17. In windows version, the H24 exporting is not quite good, it introduces some extra noise to the underexposed parts which were not present on original footage. And when uplading to youtube, there's more compression and the result is normally unprofessional...the noise is thus converted in artifacts and looks awfull. It is something I don't know how to resolve.

[@belogiannis]

Absolutely Stunning. Does any one else feels like no other camera can produce this image in 2023?

[@n3d.studio]

I don't know, remember that digital bolex?

[@13StopsPocketFilms]

2024 and this is still sublime. Gorgeously captured, composed, and arranged.

[@JordanThiem]

Thanks I love that little camera

[@PhilipCutting]

Probably the best film I’ve ever seen made on the BMPCC. Wonderful.

[@JordanThiem]

Thank you Philip! Appreciate you stopping by.

[@jdsmedia]

Without a doubt some of the best prores(of any flavor) footage i've seen out of this camera. Hell, it's better than most raw footage i've seen.

[@menoats]

I'm watching this more than 4 years later and it looks absolutely gorgeous. Fantastic filming, editing, and color grading.

[@JordanThiem]

Thank you mate!

[@tylou4479]

2020 I'm still watching... Going to start using my BMPCC again after many years

[@JordanThiem]

Ty Lou same!

[@Jerry_Mushala]

2019 who is watching?

[@JordanThiem]

me

[@kappcave]

@@JordanThiem and me ) nice work! sound and footage are awesome

[@JordanThiem]

@@alexemm Thanks for the kind words Alex! I love this little camera. I'm sure the 4k and 6k versions have their advantages, but I still use the original alongside my RED all of the time. Hope it helped!

Masterpiece. The music fits perfect and i love the pan with the gondola driver.

[@allyimage8151]

2021 still watching

[@denistonicello1360]

This is the most beautiful video on Venice I've ever seen! It made me feel emotional! Great job mate!

[@JordanThiem]

Thanks Denis!

[@Themanintheredcoat]

There’s something I really love about the black magic aesthetic. Can’t really explain it

[@Mal0wens]

OMG! This is simply stunning. You had my hooked from the beginning. Incredible!!

[@dwaynefoong]

Beautiful composition and movements. It’s such a pleasure to watch till the end!

[@agb591]

This is a masterpiece, the image and the music are simply perfect.

[@JordanThiem]

Thank you, I'm happy you appreciate it.

[@directormogz3030]

0:55 that shot alone blew me away, good work!

[@saysomestuff]

Ah, thats the way to get the smoothest tracking shots, dig an intricate network of canals and just float on past 😂. Beautiful work ❤

[@user-ok2xn1fy5i]

this is amazing.. i wanted to cry over how beautifully this was shot.

[@JordanThiem]

Thanks M, Venice is a magical place.

[@paddymchugh2719]

Beautiful, brings me right back to my holiday there. I'll watch this again and again!

[@JordanThiem]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@anthonybryantmedia]

I mean it was all so good but the first scene with the clock and sound design... nailed it!

[@jtpilks]

This is absolutely stunning, honestly gave me chills and the grade is just perfect!! Subscribed!

[@JordanThiem]

Thanks Josh! I need to take this camera out more often. Glad you enjoyed it!

[@rs-369]

I really enjoyed watching the cinematic film look of this camera. Very nicely done!

[@mandalatv5990]

God bless BMPCC !!! jaja Beautiful tiny gold camera

[@JordanThiem]

Amen!

[@guidosinram]

I prepair to got to Venice in 4 weeks. And now I have another idea of filming this beauty place. Your video is so stunning and the edit fits perfect to these old town. Compliment!

[@markragan120]

Absolutely amazing and beautiful, I inspire to make videos such as this. Just watching this makes me want to cry much more with appreciation for life. The eyes truely are a gift in beholding the beauty of mother nature and all its walks of life. You nailed it and this is exactly why I want to become a film maker. I want to capture, create, and share masterpieces of life and the simple moments we have. Thank you for sharing your journey. Diffinetly liked, shared, and subscribed.

[@MaxMiesen]

Great footage but I'm noticing some weird vertical line glitch in the film, noticable at 1:25 through 1:37 and 4:19 through 4:33. It's at the top of the screen and slightly left of the center if you can't find it.

[@MrBobthened]

probably the lens

[@morgondickerson2086]

Read the comments it was a defective sensor issue. He had to send the camera back to BM and get a replacement copy. Honestly, I didn't mind it tho. Added a bit of extra film aesthetic in there maybe

[@v-Dawg300]

Hmmm, it's weird. I thought it was something to do with the grading. The only reason I said that was because when I was grading some Alexa Mini footage in Da Vinci Resolve, those lines started coming through. HMMM, and it wasn't there on the raw ProRes footage.

[@majomedia9753]

I'm still blown away by this. and the footage that comes from the bmpcc. it really looks more like a 35mm analog film, than a digital camera. the kontast and unsharpen picture, but still detailed and beutiful. Really nice colorgrading as well. Stunning!

[@Carkysunt]

Jordan, one of the best travel films I have seen, you clearly took time to find the right music, your matching cuts and flow is excellent (especially hard when searching through footage from holidays) the right camera for the task and despite other cool details I have missed, the colour grading is immaculate, well done!

[@Borjamarting]

Jordan, this is beautiful but the story behind it is even better. Enjoy the rest of the script buddy. All the best.

[@JordanThiem]

Thank you Borja, sounds like you got exactly what I was going for. Much love.

[@qhshishir]

Such a great cinematography. Every second of this film is beautiful. Keep it up. Cheers.

[@Marcus.and.Chelsey.]

Dude this was amazing! I absolutely loved the colour grading and how well the music blended with your video! Keep it up!

[@JordanThiem]

Thank you Marcus!

[@connorwagstaff2348]

I legit want to trade my 4k for the original. It just looks better.... hard to describe. The lower resolution is actually welcomed imo. AMAZING job Jordan!

[@FilmSpook]

Absolute Masterpiece! Thanks for this!

[@groesbeck]

Jordan, every now and then, the music, the scenes along with the mood hit a creative energy in ones soul, in your case a baseball bat struck you hard !!! Maybe the best BMPC video I have ever viewed completely. Bravo Bravo !

[@JordanThiem]

Larry Groesbeck thank you Larry, that’s very kind of you! It means a lot

[@nativegenius]

Those first 30 seconds were really compelling. The edit and music made me really interested to see what was going to happen.

[@rinusworldzm]

This is amazing Jordan. Amazing. If I didn't juat watch ypur video saying this was ypur first time using it, I wouldn't have believed you.

[@artyomgantsev]

Very wonderful shots. I enjoyed watching it a lot. Inspired by your video for new shooting with my camera. I subscribe and like you

[@JordanThiem]

Thank you Artyom! Your films look great

[@istvanfilm5431]

Finally an honest man who tells us about his methods Osiris Filmconvert. Beautiful film, very well done! And humble thanx for sharing the way you did it.

[@dallasbagley]

I love my bmpcc4k, but this really does look filmic. The color and dynamic range is here, without being overly sharp, and I like that. Beautiful.

[@johnjackson3220]

I went to Venice last October for my honeymoon. Your film brings back some amazing memories for me. Excellent work!

[@cinema7014]

brilliant work. I'm in love with the cinematography. You have a good eye!

[@JordanThiem]

Thank you!

[@Afroninja10000]

God bless you for making this.

[@milanjani7615]

Lovely footage.

[@MAJOOR]

The dynamic range is just stunning

[@JordanThiem]

It really is stunning.

[@MAJOOR]

Jordan Thiem i just heard today there will be a bmpcc 4k announcement. I hope they will fix the low light performance a bit and than you've the ultimate mobile cinema setup!

[@analogpunk-7743]

Own a BMCC. This video made me pull the trigger on the pocket version. Beautifully composed video man.

[@JordanThiem]

Thanks Michael! It's pretty amazing to see how many people enjoyed it, especially because it was something I wanted to film for such a long time. Cheers!

[@bundesmostfinestent]

this is breathtaking, may I ask what your render settings are?

[@MattSolo]

it gives me the feeling of Venice I visited year ago, you can feel cinematic vibes, great work!

[@JordanThiem]

Thank you Matt! Your videos look great

[@scottmcmahon7209]

This is the best footage I've ever seen with the BMPCC. Amazing work please teach us how you did this.

[@JordanThiem]

Hey Scott I have another video on my channel called "coloring BMPCC footage" that might help you out!

[@nagaviewpoint5750]

wow wow wow,hahaha maaan this is deep. this is art, my god, Cinema.

[@jeacunag]

Fantastic footage, editing and grading I agree with some comments on the OG bmpcc beating the s#%& out of current pro-grade cameras.

[@JordanThiem]

Agreed, it definitely has earned its place in my camera bag

[@sumitdeshmukhcg]

You deserve subscribe button sir....I wish you will become best filmmaker and all glory will comes to you... Good luck sir

[@dudeframe9511]

Good quality work! Nice one

[@jbtube73]

Beautiful imagery. I love the BM Pocket.

[@JordanThiem]

I agree! I wish I could use it more, battery life is horrible.

[@jbtube73]

Jordan Thiem Exactly, but it's still a gem

[@rayaldally9677]

Amazing!

[@tgeo2880]

such a beautiful document

[@REMRODFILMS]

This video is why im thinkn about getn an old bmpcc even tho i have the 4k

[@creativeconsultant.artist]

I just got mine in the mail! The new 4k and 6k don't have the 16mm sensor. This is still the best bang for your buck.

[@REMRODFILMS]

Amy Amir best 1080 camera alive! No picture matches it

[@creativeconsultant.artist]

I am so exciting to use it.

[@javiermarkos2680]

Hey Jordan what an awesome video. by far the best footage i've seen. even better than philip blooms. Would it be possible for you to do a small video on how you went about colorgading it and exposing? that would be so helpful to so many of us. Thanks in advance.

[@JordanThiem]

Hey Javier, yes I will look into that. It seems this had a pretty good response and if I remember correctly the color grade was very simple.

[@alexandermatragos]

Beautiful work, love it!!!

[@JordanThiem]

Thanks Alexander! Appreciate the kind words

[@cooperstylez9829]

Why am i just now finding this masterpiece?! Amazing work seriously!!

Gosh. Cinematic look jusf like that??? This is so fricken cool.. Im in a shock.

[@JordanThiem]

Thank you! Hope it inspires

[@jalexb915]

Wow. Beautiful footage.

[@meikmeiker2615]

[@GodsPlainTruthTV]

How on Earth are there any dislikes on this work of art?

[@AlbaAdventures]

This was beautifully done.

[@JaspreetSinghArtist]

beautiful work

[@romblik6005]

Hi! How do you think, today this camera is still competitive compared with new photocameras (Fuji X-T30)? Or Fuji can do the same picture? what do you advise for staged video, short films, within 1000$? Sorry for my english! Video is awesome.

[@GriffinConway]

Wow this is amazing

[@JordanThiem]

Thanks Griffin!

[@DigiBentoBox]

Hi Jordan! Amazing job on this, Venice stole my heart this summer and I long to go back. My favorite part is listening to the tourist restaurants play their music during dinnertime in the square, standing near the St. Marks lion, and watching the sunset and the seagulls and the soft rush of the water in the distance... I want you to know that you PERFECTLY captured that essence-- and the visual depth of the b-roll close ups (esp. @ 0:46 holy moly) and the emotion and cultural aroma they brought to the film are awesome. One question (not about equipment either!), do you storyboard your films, or have a sort of plan of what you want to do prior to making them? I just ordered a secondhand BMPCC and a 20mm prime, and want to begin taking life and finding the story within it, and then harnessing that in a short film. I'd really love any tips on executing your creative vision, that you might be willing to share with a bright-eyed clueless amateur like me haha.

[@BlackWarriorLures]

So does this camera have this aspect ratio built in? Not exactly sure how to ask that question, lol. I'm working wit h a GH4 and I simply don;t like the colors from Panasonic. I'm thinking of buying a used original pocket camera.

[@David-py3tj]

crazy how this is shot with a 500 dollar Chinese camera. you are very talented and black magic open the doors for alot of low budget inspiring film makers.

[@JordanThiem]

Thank you David its a great camera!

[@eddu4361]

Well done!

[@Fernando-cp2qe]

Beautiful!

[@JordanThiem]

Thanks for watching Fernando!

[@roxics]

Stunning! You did an amazing job shooting this. Despite the fact that I've moved on to shooting 4K, this footage makes me want to pick up a BMPCC.

[@JordanThiem]

Thanks a lot! There are a lot of limitations with the BMPCC, but I think when used in the right way, you can't beat it. Probably some cheap used ones out there by now!
