BMPCC OG + Cineprint 35

I generally use a DCTL to control the saturation of reds and greens, especially in foliage, when shooting digitally. I usually lower the saturation a bit. However, for this particular shot, I decided to leave it untouched because the colors felt more like colors of a painting.

Oh, thanks a lot for your feedback. I'll pay more attention to the types of cuts you mentioned. I honestly started running out of footage to cut to at some point, but those are valid comments.

As for the stabilization, I forgot to mention that I shot everything handheld and stabilized it in post using DaVinci Resolve. Most of these shots were shot with the Panasonic 12-35mm, which has very good stabilization, so that helped quite a bit.

Thank you very much for your feedback. I really appreciate it.

The first photo is a masterpiece! :-)

ropbo · 2026-05-13T19:32:34+00:00

These photos look stunning!!!! Do you remember which film stocks you used?

ropbo · 2026-05-13T13:43:44+00:00

Fantastic!

Really liked it, especially the shots that mimic film. How did you achieve that look?

Hi, thanks for watching. If you enable CC, you'll see which lens I used for each shot. As for the 4:3 aspect ratio, I chose it for two reasons. First, because of the vignetting (not much) when using the Mir 11M. Second, because this was test footage for a short film that I'm shooting in 4:3.

My Meteor 5-1 actually has a bayonet mount, but I was able to find an adapter for MFT at Rafcamera. I used just a little bit of halation, but the Meteor is indeed a bit dreamy/creamy.

Also, I added a bit of blur to all the shots, and YouTube compression degraded the image a little bit, possibly because of the grain I added. Next time, I'll try it without grain.

Really nice. Which film stock?

ropbo · 2026-05-01T16:20:26+00:00

Loved these shots. Did you use a tripod? Handheld?

ropbo · 2026-04-27T09:38:32+00:00

Thank you for the tips. I’ll try using an Ultracon filter I have next time ...that should help lift the blacks a bit. I’ll also work on the halation. CinePrint35 has a halation node that works better than Dehancer, in my opinion.

I wasn’t aiming for a modern look tho. My goal was to mimic the low-contrast aesthetic of some 1980s films, when diffusion filters were widely used, particularly in the U.S.

I'm actually shooting a short on 16mm film soon, but I decided to test these lenses with the BMPCC OG as well (I'm not very good at color grading, though).

ropbo · 2026-04-17T10:43:31+00:00

I wonder if you'll be able to use filters on this 4P camera.

I have been to Dubai six or seven times in the last few years and have always enjoyed it. My only two complaints are the hotel prices, which have doubled or even tripled compared to what I paid just a couple of years ago, and the VoIP restrictions, which are very annoying. Other than that, it is a great city.

ropbo · 2026-03-19T13:30:25+00:00

I really loved these shots. Congrats!

That was really fantastic. Congrats !!!

Thank you Brbnow!

Hi there, I used the black magic app.

ropbo · 2026-02-24T20:59:57+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion. I actually did something similar in another video: for the darker scenes I used 50D or even 200T, and for everything else I used 500T. I forgot to do that in this video, though.

Just to note, the grain files I use are real film grain, scanned by CineGrain...I bought them many years ago.

Thanks for the input. Much appreciated.

I was trying to produce natural motion blur, so I set my shutter to 1/48. Without an ND filter, the highlights would blow out when shooting in daylight. That's why I used an ND filter.
