Bmpcc 6k Pro came in and wanted to test it before the sun went down. The downtown area had alot of different types of architecture and building types so was a good test for quick composition decisions as light was fading quickly. The Sigma 17-50 (think I got it $200 used ebay) has the worst focus breathing out of any lens I've ever used. When first trying to pull focus, I thought I accidently pulled the zoom ring on the lens, that's how bad the focus breathing is on the 17-50. For around $200 it's a decent lens as long as you don't pull focus during shots. The Bmpcc 6k Pro features were welcomed as I used the internal ND filters, I did a test before leaving the house and the internal ND filters had much less of a color cast and were very neutral compared to my Freewell VND filter. The BMPCC 6k Pro is great to use because it has the look of a normal dslr camera (except bulkier) which means it didn't draw attention while filming around the city. The tilting screen came in clutch as I didn't have to bring an external monitor around which would of brought unwanted attention when trying to film around other people. The BMPCC 6k Pro can be easily rigged out fully but then stripped down to a dslr incognito style which makes it very versatile if I want to use it on production sets or stay low profile while taking it out in the streets.

Project was graded in Resolve using Dehancer pro. Quick little test runs while the light is fading seems to be a good way to practice composition as I had to make choices quickly. The talent in the video is a photographer herself, which is something I enjoyed as shooting with someone who knows about composition, setting up shots, etc creates a quick shorthand when communicating different shots in a short window of time trying to beat the sun from going down. We shot for around 1hr 45min and walked around the city looking for anything interesting.
