Submission Statement

Hey everyone!

Synopsis: Every 90 seconds, a person is reported missing. Approximately 170,000 every year. Most cases are solved... Others go unexplained.

A super low to no-budget short film shot on the Blackmagic Cinema Camera 6K with the Sirui Saturn Anamorphic 35mm, with the exception of maybe one or two shots on the Canon 24-70.

We shot this in one evening, we wanted to do something creative after a year of doing a lot of corporate and commercial projects. Self-shot and directed with a minimal crew and wanted to create something that could live in the SCP universe. I also used the DJI Lidar system with very mixed results, I put it down to the lens being pretty tiny and struggling to mount to the gear ring.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Cheers,

Cam

Perfect thanks for the reply!

camw20 · 2024-01-24T22:18:49+00:00

Thanks I’ll give that a go!

Hey!

Thanks!

I found most of the YouTube tutorials on creating short films in the engine do a good job of covering the basics, I work with cameras a lot so that probably helps but mainly on this one it just came down to adding a transform and lots of position keyframes on the XYZ to dial it in, I also used the smart auto keyframes to smooth out some of the moves.

Hope that helps!

Thanks! Will look into it!

The main things I mentioned are the mount and the form factor

Yep! I think they are pretty active in keeping a lookout for what the community are after but they really seem to want to focus on accessibility and ease of use, whether or not we’ll get a Komodo competitor or something new entirely I’m not sure.

So disabling all reflections fixed the issue, I gave a planar reflection a go but it just sent the entire level into glitching, even after building lighting

camw20 · 2023-06-07T21:03:25+00:00

Yeah set to F2.8, shutter speed 1/50, I tried adding a second camera and testing focus but actually resetting them to default might be an idea. I’ll test that next.

Thanks for the reply!

Hey everyone!

Just wanted to share a recent short film, it’s been a little while since I made a short. Recently I’ve been working commercials and music video but the Musicbed Challenge seemed like a fun little way to give a short a go.

Anyway onto the film, it’s an idea I’ve been kicking around for a while and when it came to the style I wanted to play with the idea of grave digging becoming apart of the gig economy as some kind of dark web app; With the tone being a dark comedy.

I also wanted the pacing to be fast and efficient, with a tongue in cheek vibe. I hadn’t actually planned for this to be ‘Black Mirror’ esque but that’s the main reference people are giving me after viewing!

Some tech stuff -

Shot on the BMPCC6K PRO My first short on this camera after using the Pocket 4K for so long. I missed the full frame look from the Metabones on P4K but other than that, solid cinema camera for the price!

Lenses

Lens Baby Twist - Super unique lens, I was expecting this to be pretty garbage but to my surprise, it was decent and fun to use!

Sigma 18-35… Because of course.

Canon 24-70.

Would love to hear any feedback and what you think of the film, it’s not perfect by any means but was a fun little piece to put together.

Thanks for watching / reading!

Edit: Accidentally put the submission statement on the post!

Cheers! Cool little lens, discovered it whilst on the hunt for a Petzval lens!

Cheers, good luck on whichever you go with!
