Took my video camera out for a shoot recently. I really do need to shoot more on this beast but here's the video so far i probably will make it a little shorter maybe 30 seconds long and more straight to the point. The theme was two friends meeting up over some tea and one of the friends giving a jewellery gift to the other. Sounds vague i know but my main aim was to try and capture moments of love and friendship so i just filled every shot with laughter and smiles.
Shot this on a black magic URSA 4.6k and man i am still in love with the footage of this beast, usually when i get a new camera the novelty wears of a few weeks later but i've had this camera for nearly a year now and i'm still surprised by how beautiful the image is off it. I shot this video in 4K but its ended up in 1080p as its just a lot easier to upload.
For the lighting i used a window light as the main fill and a reflector above the two models with a LED light shinning through it to create a soft overhead light which lifted the shadows overall.
Another thing i enjoy is grading this image when i used to shoot with DSLR i hated grading as i couldn't do much and when i would grade i couldn't go full out as the image would fall apart. Luckily this thing shoots in Pro res 444 which basically means i can push the video a lot further when grading, I can kind of edit and grade my videos like i do with my photographs now.
Do let me know what you think of the video :)
